Hyperfixation Questionnaire #1
Amy is all about Yeti tumblers, Drew Barrymore and female friendships
Hyperfixations is a new series I've created with the goal of sharing recommendations from cool people like you . There's nothing better than receiving unbiased and non-monetized recommendations without any hidden agendas from like-minded people. Think of this as a group text from your friends :)
If you want to be highlighted in this series, I’d love to have you. Just fill in this, and we’ll make it happen.
🧙♀️ Who’s our guest?
A big warm welcome to our first guest, Amy, who writes
- Her brilliant newsletter is all about pop culture, general obsessions, the latest silly TikTok videos, and overall FUN!Who are you? I'm a native New Yorker, and live in NYC with my boyfriend, our dog, and our cat. I'm a HUGE TV buff and love anything from I Love Lucy to The Real Housewives
Describe yourself in 3 words: Silly. Caring. Tough!
💗 What makes you happiest?
Being on my couch with my boyfriend and our pets on a Friday night while eating a yummy dinner and watching the latest episode of whatever reality show we're into (British Bakeoff, etc.). SLH: Sounds like literal heaven
🌟 What’s your most recent micro-joy?
Someone gifted me the most PERFECTLY-SIZED Yeti tumbler! I have another Yeti that's comically large - I feel like they're all big in general - but this one is 10 ounces (PERFECT for a single cup of coffee). I bring it with me when I walk my dog, or on my way to work. It also doesn't take up a lot of space if you throw it in your bag. I feel like nobody knows these petite little Yetis exist!
🛒 What’s a recent purchase you loved?
I saw this "Go to Therapy" sweatshirt on a friend and HAD to have it! It's cute, cozy, and gets the best reactions from people! ALL of this company's shirts have hilarious/meaningful statements!
🐰 What was the last rabbit hole you went into?
I'm obsessed with The Drew Barrymore Show and have been to three tapings. I recently went down a Drew Barrymore rabbit hole to see if there are any movies she's been in that I haven't seen and it turns out, there are a lot...who knew?! Can't wait to watch! She also recently talked about how she wore this "My Boyfriend is Out of Town" T-shirt to the Charlie's Angels premiere and I think it's cool that she didn't go with the typical pretty dress!!
📺 Give us a TV show or movie recommendation!
Mr. & Mrs. Smith - I didn't think I'd like this because I'm not a big action person, but I LOVED it because it's really about the relationship between the two main characters (their chemistry is amazing!), and the action is secondary and actually really exciting! I binged it in two days! SLH: Find it on Prime Video
📖 What’s a book you enjoyed recently?
The Life Council: Ten Friends Every Woman Needs, by Laura Tremaine. This book COMPLETELY changed my view on friendship. It teaches the reader that not every friend needs to be a soulmate, and that once we stop trying to seek that out, we'll see how much value our different friends bring into our lives, and we'll appreciate the specific qualities they each bring to the table - allowing us to connect in a more meaningful way.
Totally agree on the Mr. and Mrs Smith, hesitated staying with it first show, but it is really growing on me and husband!
Love this! This is what the interwebs is all about, IMHO.
