What a strange week, am I right? I felt like I was having emotional whiplash all week with the rate at how the state of our union was developing with the coronavirus health crisis. I had to cancel my planned event with Follain on Wednesday and my trip to California planned for Thursday. I was going to surprise my BFF to see her and meet her baby (my new goddaughter!) and my heart was so sad to cancel it but I’m practicing better safe than sorry practices at this point.

I am crowdsourcing TV/Podcast/Book recommendations on Instagram right now and will be sharing them all on my Stories at some point today so if you’re looking for some programming for the coming weeks, be sure to follow me on Instagram and check those out!

Anyhow, stay health you guys! And enjoy this week’s roundup and I hope you have a good weekend.

• Checked out the new Fotografiska in Gramercy.
