Join us each week as we explore what’s shaping our world in beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and culture. Through the lens of our team, The Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T. is a curated reflection on what we’re reading, eating, purchasing, obsessing over, recommending, and treating ourselves to!
What We’re Reading This Week
FEM, by Magda Cârneci
Styled as a long letter to an ex-partner, this lyrical, dreamlike novel traces a woman's inner landscape from girlhood to womanhood with the precision of memoir and the texture of poetry. Cârneci moves fluidly between memory and analysis, between the deeply intimate and the philosophical, in a voice that feels at once singular and entirely universal, a rare thing in contemporary fiction.
The Art Thief
Stéphane Bréitwieser pulled off more than 200 heists, often in crowded museums, in broad daylight, and never sold a single piece. His stolen collection, estimated at $2 billion, hung in his attic bedroom while his girlfriend served as his accomplice and he moved through the world feeling, by all accounts, like a king. Finkel's account of this true story is as compulsive as the obsession it chronicles: a richly drawn portrait of flawed genius, devoted love, and what it means to love beauty to the point of madness.

What We’re Eating
Grandma’s, Philadelphia
Rooted in Tradition, Elevated Through Flavor
At Grandma's every dish begins with a memory. Chef Locket draws inspiration from her grandmother's recipes and the vibrant flavors of her childhood in Thailand, creating a menu that honors tradition while embracing a refined dining experience.
Each plate reflects the essence of Thai hospitality: rich aromas, balanced flavors, and recipes passed down through generations. Designed for sharing, the menu invites guests to gather around the table and experience the beauty of a family-style Thai banquet.
Grandma's Philly is a celebration of culture, connection, and the stories that live within every dish.

What We’re Obsessing Over
Iced Hibiscus Tea
Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins (the compounds responsible for its deep crimson color) which help neutralize free radical damage and support a more even, luminous complexion over time. Consumed regularly, it works from the inside out, supporting collagen preservation and reducing internal inflammation, so skin can genuinely thrive. Brewed strong and served over ice, hibiscus tea is one of the more effortless ways to work skin-supportive ingredients into your daily routine. Tart, floral, and deeply refreshing on a hot day, it's the perfect indulgent ritual.
Tennis
If you're looking for a new way to move this summer, tennis is worth serious consideration. It offers a full-body workout that builds strength, agility, and endurance while feeling far more engaging than anything you'd do indoors. It's also one of the more social sports around, the kind that fosters real connection, whether you're playing with a friend or meeting someone new on the court. It’s a great way to connect with people in your community, the skill-building keeps it interesting, and the aesthetic, it has to be said, is very good.
What We’re Recommending
FIFA World Cup 2026
The World Cup has arrived in our backyard. On June 14th, Ecuador faces Ivory Coast in a group stage match at Lincoln Financial Field, a rare chance to experience the world's most-watched sporting event live in Philadelphia. Whether you're a devoted fan or simply want to be part of the moment, it's the kind of afternoon that doesn't come around often.
Tribeca Festival
Today is the last day of the 2026 Tribeca Festival in New York, and if there was ever a reason to make the trip into the city, this is it. One of the most celebrated events in independent film and culture, Tribeca brings together boundary-pushing cinema, conversations with filmmakers, and a kind of electric creative energy that only exists when the best work in the world lands in one place at one time. Check what's still screening, grab a last-minute ticket, and make a day of it!
Treatment Highlight
Prevention versus Treatment
Nothing treats sun damage quite as well as preventing it in the first place. SPF is the single most evidence-backed step you can take for long-term skin health, protecting against UVA and UVB rays that contribute to uneven tone, premature aging, and loss of luminosity over time. Stocking up now, before the season peaks, means your skin stays consistently defended through the months it needs it most. The result is a complexion that looks even, radiant, and genuinely healthy all year long.
