Good things come in threes: Favorite newsletters

Overwhelmed by online content? I follow an ever-growing list of blogs on Bloglovin and hundreds of accounts on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Having so much, literally at my fingertips, can be amazing but also lead to overload and the need for an online detox.

Very carefully, I have chosen three newsletters that I look forward to reading and trust for advice on where to go, what to buy and what to read.
 

For the California lifestyle: Rip + Tan
Designer and LA native Jenni Kayne's email newsletter is named after her two children. Weekly posts include Q&As with local tastemakers, recipes and eco-friendly lifestyle tips. 
To Dos
Buy: These washable cotton dish covers by Bowlovers have replaced the plastic wrap in my kitchen and make my refrigerator look picnic-ready.
Visit: I made a special trip to the Brentwood Country Mart in LA to visit the serene and stylish Jenni Kayne store.
Read: Her interview with LA stylist Jessica De Ruiter was the inspiration for my recent closet edit.

 

For the New York-leaning:  Of A Kind's 10 Things We're Doing weekly list
New York-based Of A Kind is an e-commerce shop that supports and promotes on-the-rise fashion designers through access to their limited edition unique products and stories.The weekly 10 Things list is written by its two female founders and highlights memorable things they have done, read or bought. 
To Dos
Buy: Authentic testimonials on products like hand-held clothing steamers, sweater brushes and workout apps have convinced me to buy. A+ on every recommendation so far. 
Visit: The New York galleries, restaurants and exhibits they highlight make me wish I lived closer.
Read: The eclectic posts include fun and thought-provoking articles I would have otherwise missed.

For culture junkies: Granta's Five Things Right Now in their monthly email
Granta magazine was founded in 1889 at Cambridge University and reborn in 1979 as a literary magazine. Once a month, their newsletter lands in my inbox with a concise interview with an creative professional who explains what he or she is most into right now. Hugely varied but always worth checking out. 
To Dos
Buy: Download the mostly free podcasts from Brad Listi's Other Ppl and Scriptnotes for insightful and lively conversations with writers of novels and screenplays.
Listen: Japanese bands like Zazen Boys and Morning Musume give a global pop kick.
Read: Links to articles and authors that are usually new to me. Then I start seeing them everywhere.
