THE SUNDAY SIX 6️⃣

May in Review

If it’s not in the group chat, does it even matter?

My group chats with my girlfriends are more than just banter—they’re our sounding board. It’s where we swap book recs, map out dream dream vacations (and take the action steps to get them out of the group chat), share skincare secrets, talk career moves, and discuss what to wear to literally everything. It’s honest, unfiltered, and judgment-free. That same spirit is what inspired The Life Edit—a space to level up our wardrobes, travels, and daily routines together. Think of this newsletter as an extension of the chat. Here’s your May roundup of what we’ve been loving, planning, and texting non-stop about:

1️⃣ THE RECIPE I LOVED: CHIMICHURRI CHICKEN

Chimichurri: A Love-Hate Kitchen Romance

Every time the food processor comes out, a small part of John dies inside. Sure, it's a pain to clean—but when it comes to chimichurri, there's just no substitute. This recipe is absolutely worth the extra rinse cycle. The marinade is bursting with bold, herby flavor, the chicken cooks up juicy and perfect, and the leftover sauce doubles as the base for a vibrant couscous salad. Fresh is the best way to describe it, flavorful, is why this one’s going on repeat.

What You’ll Need:

• 1 cup fresh cilantro

• 2/3 cup fresh parsley

• 1/4 cup fresh oregano

• 2 garlic cloves

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

• 2/3 cup olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

• 1 pound chicken thighs

couscous salad

• 2 cups cooked couscous

• ¼ cup chimichurri

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

• ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

• 3 tablespoons chopped chives

2️⃣ THE WEDDING PEOPLE

I read 5 books in the month of May + added 2 audiobooks, both of which changed my mind about how I feel about audiobooks, but there were 2 five star reads. The Wedding People by Alison Espach was one of the most unexpected stories. A divorce, depression, losing the will to live, and a chance elevator run in with a bride planning a million dollar wedding, and the funny interactions that follow suit. It was not at all what I expected, but a story about life, love and ends with all the warm and fuzzies.

3️⃣ SAY YOU’LL REMEMBER ME

Dare I say this was my favorite Abby Jimenez book? Sure, the romance writer is a bit predictable but there’s a reason she has a cult following. Your girl loves a happy ending and this one didn’t disappoint. A sexy vet, the perfect date, and really bad timing.

4️⃣ WINK LIP LINER

If there is one lip shade you need in your makeup lineup it’s that perfect pinky nude shade and I think I found it. It wears beautifully on it’s own, but it’s also become to only lip liner I ever wear as it pairs perfectly with just about every shade other than red.

5️⃣ THIS LEOPARD DRESS

I wore this dress to Carbone in NYC last summer, it’s made appearances on date nights, girls nights, and last month I brought it to Vegas, further proving it’s one of the best dresses in my closet. To start, it’s as comfortable as they come. With a full stretch material and a double lining so it conceals where it counts, plus it doesn’t wrinkle and for that reason alone it is the perfect piece to pack. This brand has quickly become my go-to for special occasions, but this specific style is most definitely a favorite. Comes in 10 different colors, runs true to size, and is available in an XXS up to a 3X.

6️⃣ PACKABLE BEACH HAT

Over the past few years, I’ve made a conscious shift toward choosing quality over quantity—and the difference has been remarkable. When clothes fit well and feel great, I actually want to wear them, and getting dressed is that much easier. So, when it came time to find the perfect beach hat, I knew it had to offer quality, a timeless style and travel-friendly. I landed on a design that checks all the boxes: effortlessly chic, durable, and packable. You can roll it, smash it, toss it in your suitcase—and it still pops back into shape, an overpackers dream.

From the designer’s site - Rooted in the belief that fashion should be both beautiful and responsible, the brand prioritizes high-quality materials and regenerative practices that replenish the earth. From sculptural silhouettes to understated utility, every design is informed by a balance of form and function, crafted to integrate seamlessly into a modern wardrobe.

BONUS: A SHOW I’M LOVING

I just finished the first season of Hacks on HBO Max and loving it! A legendary Las Vegas comedian teams up with a struggling young writer to reinvent her act—and themselves. The result is witty, hilarious and heartfelt. There are 4 seasons to binge and it just renewed for another.
