THIS WEEK’S ROUNDUP
I turned a pillowcase into clothing!!
Not cord cutting, but cord hiding…
📰 A big news week for the Chenwald household — Abe was mentioned in The New Yorker profile of Padma Lakshmi and my acting feature film debut Saving Face was featured in Study Breaks!

🛍️ J. Crew is having their mid-season sale through Monday — up to 40% off your purchase, plus an extra 60% off all sale styles. I’ve been waiting for this $98 top to go on sale since I first saw it — and just scored it for $33.20! Use code SHOPNOW at checkout.
🛀🏻 I finally found the perfect bath mat at Target — it’s soft and pretty and just the right vibe of being plush without being fluffy. It’s on sale too — and comes in two sizes. I may actually buy another one just to have for when this one wears out eventually.
✂️ I’ve mentioned Suay Sew Shop before as one of my favorite places to get thrift/upcycled items. This weekend is their moving sale (they’re relocating from Frogtown to DTLA) and so we stopped by on Saturday. I scored this repurposed leather backpack and some dyed napkins. It’s still happening today; more info is on their IG page.
🧴 Versed sent me some freebies for the spring season — I restocked on their cleansing balm which I already went through a container of, but also got this Gel Cream moisturizer (great for summer) and Weekend Glow Brightening Solution (a much more affordable AHA exfoliant to replace the REN Toner I usually use). I’ve used both all week and my skin is really happy — got a discount code too — MSLYNNCHEN10 for 10% off.
