Hello from the road!

We're about halfway through our fall tour, and have loved seeing our besties IRL in Toronto and Detroit. (Follow the #CYGlive hashtag for a glimpse of what these live shows have been like.) And if you're in Denver or Washington, D.C., we still have tickets left and would love to see you! Join us for a really fun evening.

Wherever you are, we hope you're having a great autumn. 

Love, Ann + Aminatou + Gina

WE'RE OBSESSED
Aminatou endorses
  • This lil travel humidifier that I unfortunately discovered during my last hospital stay. I’m excited to bring it on tour. Super practical and easy to clean/transport.
  • Queasy Drops. My life has been non stop nausea recently and a friend sent me these. A real godsend! warning: if you hate bananas the banana flavored ones are very banana-y.
Ann can't stop talking about
  • Getting a white noise machine. I have never been that interested in white noise, but after I recently stayed in my friend's infant's room and slept like, well, a baby, I'm going to have to buy one for myself. (A white-noise machine, not a baby.)
  • Donating to Dignity Has No Borders, a collaboration between PERIOD and the Alliance of Border Collaboratives to donate and distribute period products to migrant women and girls at the border (mainly in Texas and those being denied entry in Mexico). 
Gina is very into
  • This soy-based candle for making a new space smell warm, inviting, and ~luxe~. Perfectly sized for travel!
  • Podcasters getting together. I'm speaking at Werk It this Thurs, 10/3 at 3pm. Come see me and the incredible Cher Vincent if you're attending.
