Welcome to Wednesday and the morning after a historic Election Day.

First things first, anyone else sleep-deprived? A little hungover? Feeling gross from eating too many Election Night snacks? Okay cool, us too.

We’ve got an action-packed newsletter today, but before we dive in, a reminder to lower your shoulders, unclench your jaw, inhale, exhale, repeat. And if you’re looking for more tips to de-stress, read more

It’s Tuesday, y’all, also known as Election Day. It’s also another very important day in local history.

Today marks 100 years to the date since July Perry was lynched one day after what is known as the Ocoee Massacre, the largest incident of voting-day violence in United States history.

Y’all, we made it to Friday. 

And if you’re an early bird, you might’ve even needed a light sweater this morning — 😍 66 degrees at 9 a.m. and a high of 76. It’s this girl’s absolute favorite weather.

Halloween is made that much better when it actually feels like the holiday season, right? And speaking of Halloween, we’ve got ideas out the wazoo below to help you plan a safe and socially distanced good time — kinda like Jillian a

It’s Thursday, y’all, and today is going to be a hot one with a high of 91, but there’s good news on the horizon — there’s a cold front heading our way just in time for the Halloween weekend. It’ll still reach the low 80s, BUT we’ll see 60-degree weather at night. And if that’s not something to look forward to, we’re not sure what is.

Now let’s get to the news of the day, shall we? But first, this little gal has a message.�

Y’all know how to make a grown woman cry. 

Mostly happy tears, too. Yesterday I shared that my faithful furry companion of 17 years had passed on and asked for photos of you and your pets to ease the pain. My inbox is full of the cutest four-legged (sometimes three!) Orlandoans I’ve ever seen.

Thank you. You managed to put a huge smile on this girl’s face and over 70

It’s Tuesday y’all, and I’m going to get really personal today.

I lost my best friend of 17 years yesterday. He was four-legged, furry (but not fluffy) and 52 pounds of pure joy and fierce loyalty (although he had dropped about 20 in the last few years). And honestly, writing a newsletter has never felt more impossible.

So instead of faking it, I thought I’d let you in on my real world, so you know that there is a real person behind this newsletter

Happy Friday, friends. 

It’s looking like a good weekend to get outside and enjoy the “cooler” temps or one of the many Halloween activities and fall fests happening around Central Florida (and maybe not talk about last night’s presidential debate because everyone needs at least one day of reprieve, amirite?).

It’s Thursday y’all, and Bill and Ted are gearing up for a virtual reunion tonight to benefit the Greater Orlando Performing Arts Relief (GOPAR). “We Party On: Bill & Ted’s Excellent Halloween Reunion” is a free, live-streamed event and will feature participants from the i

Happy Hump Day, friends. 

There’s a little rain in our forecast today, but the silver lining is it comes with cooler temps. Today’s high is a mere 82 degrees and that alone warrants a hallelujah, amirite?

Speaking of hallelujahs, y’all are showing up in droves at the polls, and honestly, there are few things that could make our civic-minded hearts beat any faster. But, in case you’ve been dragging your feet, here’s your regular reminder to v
