Congratulations, Aly, on being named one of the top 10 journalists! This recognition is truly well-deserved. I'm really bummed I missed the chance to catch up with you and Jill while at sea. Wishing you a fantastic journey on that incredible ship. Enjoy every moment! xoxo Amy

Congratulations on your much deserved recognition for the second year in a row, Aly (though not surprised ;)! Love seeing you, Alice, and several others amazing freelancers I've had the pleasure to work with on this list - you're all rockstars! Also, your collection is so cute it's hard to pick a favorite, but I'd love to try out The Bridget!

Your ideas for the starter kitchen helped me to develop a similar list, but one that could be used when an Iranian woman (or man) has a starter kitchen. She would need different spices. She would need a cutting board.

One time my husband had them redo our kitchen, and he for got to include a pull-out cutting board. He did not make the same mistake, when a leak in the cupboard forced us to redo the kitchen a second time.
