Bitch Be Grateful

THIS WEEK WE’RE GRATEFUL FOR:

The first goosebumps of fall, Christmas mugs (controversially), spooky movies, young Johnny Depp, angel numbers, crashing into the only pole in the parking lot, fictional tornadoes, Jason Derulo, crunchy Chick-fil-A fries, Burger King, unexpected connections & dynamic days.

THE GOSS 💋

Nicole's having a hurricane of a week, while Ida is romanticizing the first cold breeze of autumn. Naturally, this leads to a very serious debate about whether Christmas mugs are acceptable in October.

We're talking spooky movie obsessions, suspiciously specific angel numbers, crashing into the ONLY pole in the parking lot, and why Jason Derulo might be the best mood booster known to mankind.

Plus, the beauty of strangers, friends who know exactly what you need, and the realization that your dream life might already be happening in little ways.

Welcome to the Radical Gratitude Movement, where if it makes you happy to be alive, it fucking counts 💋

Tell us what you're grateful for this week!

THIS WEEK WE’RE GRATEFUL FOR:

Audible credits, nerding out about childhood favorites, smashing bricks as free therapy, IKEA, Dancing with the Stars, Pinterest fantasy shopping, our bodies being vessels of fun, cheesecake anticipation, CD players & being 90s kids.

THE GOSS:

Life has been feeling a little slow and apparently we both need to get weirder. Nicole is reconnecting with her fantasy-loving childhood self, while Ida is smashing bricks as free therapy and planning her future Dancing with the Stars debut.

We’re also talking Pinterest fantasy shopping, things that aren’t financially aligned yet, seeing our bodies as vessels of fun and appreciating the anticipation before something good happens.

And finally: Discmen, LimeWire, homemade CDs and a whole lot of gratitude for growing up in the 90s and early 2000s.

THIS WEEK WE’RE GRATEFUL FOR:

Unexpected painting eras, spontaneous bestie calls, getting caught in the rain, long-lasting nail polish, wearing the same outfit again because you already know you look hot in it, good boob days, seeing your own name as a sign from the universe & broke-girl breakfast tacos.

THE GOSS:

Ida has apparently entered her artist era. It starts with eight hours of painting a wall without a single thought in her head, continues with watercolors that look like they were made by a five-year-old and ends with an actual Ida original hanging proudly on the wall.

Meanwhile, Nicole is feeling grateful for spontaneous calls, a very packed social calendar, pumpkin everything and getting caught in the rain at the exact right moment.

Then we get into the REALLY important things: nail polish that actually lasts, why you should never change a winning outfit, Nicole having a particularly good boob week, WhatsApp video notes changing our long-distance friendship and Ida being fully convinced Barcelona is personally communicating with her through the letters I-D-A.

And finally: breakfast tacos, Norwegian Taco Friday and why maybe we should all start eating dinner for breakfast.

THIS WEEK WE’RE GRATEFUL FOR:

Getting absolutely soaked in thunderstorms, friends who remind you you’re not a broke loser, “this made me think of you” gifts, BBG merch that deserves a night out, extra-dirty martinis, saying no to alcohol without saying no to the party, Friends for the fifth time & no pants day with only 58 steps.

THE GOSS:

Ida is thriving in Barcelona thunderstorms while Nicole is being reminded by the universe that maybe she isn’t, in fact, a broke loser.

Nicole gets surprise estate-sale pearls, takes the new BBG merch out for a wild Wednesday night and discovers that a dirty enough martini might just make her really good at pool.

Meanwhile, Ida decides to leave the house for a wholesome night of bowling and the universe immediately starts testing that decision. A kicked-over cup of coins, a very loud metro ride and multiple useless bike stations later, the message is received: bitch, just go home.

And honestly? Maybe staying home deserves more appreciation anyway. 58 steps. No pants. Friends on the TV. Perfect day.

THIS WEEK WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR: Fancy coffee, pole dancing, Powerpuff Girls & not having to pick just one version of ourselves.

THE GOSSIP: Romanticizing the tiny things, finding an arena to let your sexy side out, the innocent girl vs. the sexy girl, reconnecting with your why, vulnerability & connection, being the weird one in the family, all the boxes we put ourselves in when you can make your own Powerpuff Girl mixture instead.

Plus, Nicole destroys a coffee pot mid-twirl, Ida apparently has to post her sexy dance video now & we somehow end up comparing identity to a waffle.
