K8 & GINK

The sisters known as the Internet! 👯‍♀️

We survived the 10 darkest weeks of the year! Congrats, friends!!

I had a rough start to the year—I was sick. When I finally felt better, I couldn’t seem to wake up at the time I wanted because it’s just too dark outside. And with all the snow, the sunrises by my house have been pretty lame.

From mid-November to late January, the lack of sunlight can disrupt our body clocks, lower serotonin, and lead to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)—ironically named, isn’t it?

It’s Hibernation season!! My favorite season of the year! I love layering up in my favorite K8KNITZ sweater or Lava Bro / Marshmello hoodie and taking a nap—it’s the best. It’s time to grab a blankie and finally read that book you’ve been wanting to read, binge that show, knit 9 miles like K8 does (apparently the Apple Watch counts knitting as a workout), or play board games. King Bob’s board game finally came in the mail—we’ve only been waiting since 2022 to play! (Three years... basically Azkaban-level waiting!) It’s too cold and snowy out there. Stay warm and cozy!

We’ve almost made it through January. How’s everyone doing with their goals for the year so far? I’m starting the year by reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone as my first book. I want to reread the whole series!

Next month is a pretty busy month for K8 and me, so stay tuned for our adventures!

It’s hibernation season… 🧸 at work shouldn’t be a thing!

SMALL WINS

Let’s dive into the *~magic~*!

In a world that's all about the big moments, it's time to give props to the small wins—like finally nailing that thing you put off & it only taking 5 minutes, catching a breather mid-chaos or hustling through a workout when you'd rather binge, One Tree Hill. They might not make an impact, but these wins? They're the rizz to leveling up. So, let’s celebrate our accomplishments and manifest for the week ahead. 

  • Rileigh is sad cause Dom is in Japan but anticipating all the cute things he’ll bring back for us

WOO, SPORTS!

The LEWIS IS ICONIC Edition 🏆

Happy Lewis-is-finally-at-Ferrari month! In his first week, Lewis Hamilton not only took his inaugural laps in the iconic red car at Fiorano but also immersing himself in Ferrari's rich history.

It's like every 40-year-old man's dream of a midlife crisis—except instead of buying a sports car, he's driving one for Ferrari!

And talk about pole position on social media (post position)—his first post in Ferrari red broke records, becoming the most-liked F1 Instagram post ever with over 5 million likes.
