Love this! And thanks so much for the mention. I love a red lip...it's like instant teeth whitening. Also, the GORGEOUS design of your newsletter has convinced me I need to step up my design game!
This is a great post. I love how everything is laid out! Substack has really been feeling a lot like the blogging days of the early 2010s and I'm so here for it. As a fellow blogger, it's something I have been so nostalgic for. Enjoy Mendocino! It seriously is so gorgeous there and you can't beat the Anderson Valley for some good wine... especially the Pinot Noirs! xx sSs
I found Becky through one of your blog posts and have been subscribed to her newsletter for a few months. It’s CHANGED MY LIFE! When I saw you were featuring her in your substack, I never clicked faster! This one did not disappoint. I love Becky’s relatable tone and how she describes her choices. It just clicks for me. I don’t impulse buy nearly as much as I used to!
Your comment (and the fact she loves Peter Rabbit!) convinced me to finally subscribe to Becky's newsletter. Her style, both writing and fashion wise, is so relatable. I think that I will find it helpful, as well.
I remember another amazing tip she had for children’s gifts — she got her son a real stethoscope and he is obsessed w it. You can get them on Amazon and they’re the same price as toy ones!
Hi hi! I’m a fan of your content, and congrats on your new site. As a grad student, I have to be conscious of my budget. The content posted so far feels so similar to CoJ. Do you have any plans where we can opt-in to your personal posts for a lower rate? It can be a bit overwhelming to get so many product recs on a Friday. Thanks x
Kid expressions are the cutest thing! My sister and I love it so much that a bunch of our children's misspoken words have wormed it's way into our own personal language. For example, we'll say "ganx" in lieu of "thanks" to each other. Of course, today, the originators of these odd bon mots roll their eyes and don't even remember saying them in the first place.
Hi Jo and team! Just wanted to say that I am loving the newsletter, and am also so impressed by how the quality of CoJ is being maintained as you launch this new venture. What a lovely way to provide both free and paid content. Hope you all are getting lots of rest and taking time to celebrate :)
welcome to newsletter life!! so funny, I sprung for a pair of dark wash levis 501 '90s this morning (BTW they are on sale 30% off rn for anyone interested) so it was v affirming (slash serendipitous) to see them mentioned here as well.
I am a subscriber, and happy to be! I don't see the difference between the newsletter and the blog (which I love too). I feel like ( and admittedly it's only been 2 issues) all the newsletter articles would be perfect on the blog.
Thanks for your note! The warm/friendly vibe is similar to Cup of Jo because it’s by our team and me :) But the format is different — each week we feature a different person sharing their favorite things, from black jeans to dinner recipes to relationship advice to funny movies to career hacks. So, you get a peek into their world view and favorite finds. We have SUCH good ones coming up, including the coolest thing to do at a dinner party. Then every 4 weeks I will be sharing my dating journey which feels too vulnerable to share on the big wide internet. I’m excited to discuss all things dating! Hope this helps Xoxox
Really enjoyed this interview with Becky!

Yes I feel the same way! Like Google Reader has been resurrected 🙌🏻
Really loving this newsletter! Also, I think I’m restarting Frasier. Such a solid show :)
Frasier without Niles is a hard no for me!!! DHP forever!
Another enjoyable newsletter :)
Princess Diana will always be a fashion icon for me.
When my mom gave me her china and silverware years ago, she also told me about Replacements and I have ordered more than once from them.
I'm also glad to see another Peter Rabbit lover!

Down for anything that can help with my impulse buying! Subscribing now!

Oh I loveeee this tip! My 4yo is obsessed with doctor everything and I can just see her face getting a *real* stethoscope 🥰
Becky’s fantastic fashion newsletter just became an instant follow...where has she been all my adult life?!?!
And by “where has she been,” I obviously mean where have *I* been hahahahaha. Living under a rock, apparently

This one was very shopping heavy because Becky is a fashion editor. Please stay tuned for all different vibes! Xo
Love love love the newsletter!
Team Niles. A thousand times, yes.

Omg so cute!!!

anyone know where those adorable pink socks are from (under Asking For a Friend)??
They're Maria La Rosa! :)
Oh thank you! I loved them! What a fun way to add a little color and personality to an outfit 🩷
I can vouch for the quality and comfort of Maria La Rosa socks. I bought 2 pairs from Alex Mill when they had them and love them.
I’ll ask Becky!
