Woods World (Sept. 10 to 16)

Need something to watch? One of our random favorites, Welcome to Wrexham, is back for its second season. If you liked Ted Lasso and/or you like soccer or documentaries, it’s a fun, interesting and heartwarming watch.

Need another online game to make you crazy (besides Wordle)? I just discovered Connections the other day. It’s another NY Times game, like Wordle, and it’s just as maddening. I haven’t won yet but I probably just need to be a bit more patient. TL;DR - you have to identify groups of words that have something in common. And, like Wordle, you can thankfully only play once per day.

Are you blond? (If not, you can skip this one.) I’ve spent a large chunk of my life trying every single violet shampoo on the market. And it’s safe to say that Dae’s Violet Hour Purple Shampoo is perfection. It’s not drying, it smells great and it deposits the perfect amount of violet to tone down brassiness. I also discovered that it’s an Arizona small business! It’s available at Sephora and also on Amazon.

In the mood for soup? Try Milk Street’s Thai-style chicken and coconut soup. It takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and it’s absolutely delicious. (And, according to my husband, even better the second day.) I’m a big fan of Milk Street and also recommend their magazine, if you like to cook.
