1. Finding weird, random presents in my purse Like this 👆 lemon 🍋, which mysteriously appeared in my Kate Spade this morning. 2. Weezer’s cover of Africa I’ve been driving around town a little more than usual this week, and every time I’ve turned on the radio in the car, this song has been playing. I freakin’ love it! I hear it more now than I heard the O.G. version in the ’80s, LOL. 3.
