Aly's Newsletter: Tuesday Edition!

Hi, friends!

I'm sorry today's newsletter is a bit late -- SUPER busy day. (Seriously, as I type this I have six tabs open in my Google Docs. Simultaneously. Help me.)

Here's what I'm working on for the remainder of this week (so far)…

1 - For Clean Plates, I'm wrapping up my guide to best store-bought healthy (or healthier) chicken nuggets in the next day or so. I'd love an RD or nutritionist to weigh in over email on a few questions I have and to give input on a few nuggets brands/varieties I'm adding to my roundup. (And yes if you already emailed me, and we already discussed, this is not replacing any comments you gave but in addition to those.)

2 - For Spy.com, I"m working on the following for tomorrow EOD:

The best:

Target stocking stuffers - i.e. stocking stuffers you can get at Target. Keep in mind that while I can cover items for all interests, Spy is mostly geared toward men’s interests.

Christmas books - I'm hoping to include a really great selection of Christmas books available online.

Hanukkah decorations 

3 - Also for Clean Plates I'm writing a story on the Air Fryer vs. the Instant Pot - which we love more, and why (and obviously I have a vote here...but I really want to make this fair and balanced. So excited to hear input from experts with points/counterpoints so far as which one is better for versatility, healthy food, price/size/space it takes up, value, etc 

Stories that have published or been updated since yesterday:

OK, y’all — I have to go get dressed for an event…what does one wear for a rooftop murder mystery party in a nor’easter?

(Just kidding. The rain is a lot better than it was and there’s a covered area! Besides, Aly has seriously earned some fun today…)

have a great night, friends!
