Hello and happy October to you, specifically!

Paid subscribers can read on for the Fall Everything Shower rundown below but in the meantime, I’ve got some fun recs for all of the TIBAAC family, both free and paid.

Also! This month is TIBAAC’s 2-year anniversary—though I started this Substack in 2019. I couldn’t get my life together to switch over entirely from my blog to Substack, however, until October 29, 2021. I love writing this newsletter and am thrilled to have you along for the ride.

Writing about beauty with a few fashion and home essentials sprinkled in is the thing I love to do when I’m procrastinating and I’m thrilled to be able to continue this tradition for almost 20 years to a steadily growing group of Amber insiders. To celebrate, I’m offering paid annual subscriptions for $50, down from $70 and monthly for $5, down from $7, all month long.

Upgrade to Paid

šŸ“ŗ The Fall Watch: Catastrophe on Prime. Why isn’t everyone on the planet talking about this show, which came out in 2015? I’ve only vaguely heard of it before I put it on last week and am now obsessed. Rob Delaney is such a GIFT. Watch it immed.

šŸŽ™ļøThe Fall Podcast: This month, I’m especially loving Smartless (obv), Strike Force Five and Everything Is Fine.

šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļøThe Fall Workouts: I’m planning on doing the couch to 5K app (I’ve done it before with great results) post-partum, but right now, I’m loving Tracy Anderson arm workouts, the Downdog App pre-natal yoga and some Peloton bike workouts sprinkled in.

šŸ—žļøThe Newsletter:

Feed Me
me by Emily Sundberg is the best business newsletter by way of pop culture, fashion and so much more. I’m a paid subscriber.

Ok! Let’s get to my fall everything shower lineup for 2023.

🫧 The Shampoo: My go-to this fall is Virtue Recovery Shampoo plus an additional application of Philip B Russian Amber Shampoo for days when I need my hair to look really good—events, weddings, bat mitzvahs, etc. I think of the latter as more of a styler, even though it goes on and is washed out like a shampoo. The Virtue lathers sans sulfates and makes my hair feel cleansed but not squeaky clean—and also stronger within a few shampoos. The Russian Amber impart flexibility, shine and the rare ability to air dry into sleek waves or be styled into extra shiny, bouncy looks.
