Links I Love Week 42: Year 2025
It was a full weekend for me personally and with work. My friend Brooke was over this week to help me organize my work area for shipping and fulfillment of The Print Shop. She was so great coming up with systems to help save time and make more space. I can’t wait to have her come back and work on more areas of our home.
I have a few book events coming up at the end of the month including coffee and croissants at Slant of Light Books with Henri on November 2. The holiday season is just around the corner, I am working on gift guides behind the scenes and the round up of ornament and advent calendars are coming soon. This Sunday, we are cheering on Marathon runners and hopefully putting the finishing touches on our Halloween decorations.
Plus, Chicago was filled with energy between the Chicago Cubs in the playoffs and the Marathon this Sunday.
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.

Did you know Spotify unlocks audiobooks as well? I love listening to business books and can’t wait to dig into the Bobbi Brown memoir, part business part autobiography. If you haven’t listened to Ina Garten’s memoir, you can on Spotify, and she narrates it. These AirPods are on sale and work perfectly for listening to music during a long walk.
If you are looking for help planning a trip for a multi-generational family or group, my friend Lily recommends Paris for Seniors, and I thought I would pass it along as I am often asked for recommendations on tours and assistance.
I am falling for corduroy this season. Spanx has a great pair of pants that is affordable too—loving these microflares too in black. Also, Spanx just partnered with La Ligne to create this collection. Yes!

Should we cool it with supplements? I had a chat with a friend about this earlier in the week. Should influencers be selling what they are on? We both agreed that every person is different and it is best to consult with a doctor.

Hi Rebecca,
The NY Times article about supplements is just ridiculous. Doctors have been publishing pleas to get people to stop taking vitamins, in The NY Times and other non-scientific publications, for years. I am married to a scientist – a man who knows more than MDs do about what helps people to be and stay healthy – and certainly not a dietitian. Doctors would like us to believe that their medicines are the only thing people should bother with to stay healthy, but they are just wrong here. They have a strong bias to be in control and to keep people relying on them and not to take health into their own hands. “We are all different” should apply to the very strong, often toxic prescriptions that they hand out to patients, but that is not how they practice and we all know this. A doctor who doesn’t believe that people in the US should supplement our poor, fast and convenience food diets with supplements, especially as we age should, not be trusted as someone who cares more about patient health than they do about selling medicine that can lead to very serious health issues. People can do their own research and find the best supplements for themselves without a doctor giving them permission. Why are they so defensive about people taking responsibility for their own health? If I went to a doctor who advised me against supplementing my diet with vitamins, especially now that I approaching 70 years, I would not be visiting that person again.
As a much older woman, I wanted to mention Diane Keaton’s major role in Annie Hall. It’s the role that she will be remembered most for with people who have followed her entire career. I remember walking by her on a very cold day in NYC, so expressive and real, she was not dressed for an NY winter and her reaction to the wind is something I always think of when I’m in the city on a cold day. Older women were grateful for her genuine depiction of women in the 1970s.
Thank you for your work. I read it with interest as I am a francophone who adores Paris.
