Happy Monday!

This weekend, marked the final days of Hanukkah by making a big batch of latkes, of course. We did baked, not fried, because all that oil isn’t necessary for anyone…I did share the recipe on my Instagram stories Saturday evening, but it’s expired by now. However, you can still catch the soup I made yesterday!

Follow me on Instagram and cook along!

Thanks so much for everyone who took the time to reach out and wish me a happy holiday! It was so sweet and thoughtful!

Here’s what I’m working on today:

For SPY.com, I am looking for pitches for all of the following:

a - best 4-slice toasters. I'm aiming to stick to major retailers for this one, like Amazon, Walmart, etc, but am also open to specialty retailers with really fun models.

b. Edible gift ideas. As a variety of people with a variety of interests are going to be reading this, I want to include a variety of types of options ... Lower cost to luxury, so stuff like Edible Arrangements, Harry & David, Godiva, but also fun different things like Fly By Jing sets.

c. Best Turkish towels to gift this holiday season. I actually was just sent a gorgeous Turkish bathrobe and honestly if it was a towel I'd be wrapping myself in it daily.

d. Best stylish recliners. SITTING IS UNDERRATED. Looking to focus on options from Wayfair, Target, Amazon, CB2, West Elm, etc.

2. For RetailMeNot, I’m still accepting pitches for the best galentine’s gift for your BFF - but i am trying to wrap up this story in the next day or two.

For any of these, please make sure to email alywalansky@gmail.com and start a new email thread with the assignment and the outlet it's for. As for deadlines, as I always say - the sooner the better, and if I finish something early, it's done.

Here's what's published in the last few days:

Have a great day!
