Does growing up mean getting boring? Lizz needs some spice in her life and Kelly has kicked her nausea and is headed back to the kitchen feeling inspired. 

Today's millennial word of the day is 'sidequest.' These are the little stops you make along the way when you're on your main mission. 

Hobbies and fashion trends take over the driveway dumps. If you're looking for something more fun than going to the grocery, then get ready to take notes! Look for a local Pickleball league you can join with your spouse or the whole family. Quilting, sewing, needlepoint, and crochet are great hobbies to pick up from a YouTube tutorial. Sourdough, baking, and cooking without a purpose might just land a tasty treat on your dinner table this week. House projects and outdoor activities like a 5K run are fun, active options as the weather warms up. And a lesson to learn something new can be inspiring, too.

Kelly's bringing a 2024 outlook on the tailored boho look that's on it's way 'in.' Look out for fringe, rich burgundy, and maroon. She's also a fan of the girl core look with bows and ruffles. Kelly (of course) loves that sky blue is in. And a few interesting spins on disco details, non-basic basics, and office wear will be making appearances this year, too. 

In industry news, Mach Es and Lightnings will receive an over-the-air update that enables them to charge at select Tesla superchargers nationwide. Kelly's excited to see the new Explorer at the NY Auto Show as well as the 2025 Infiniti QX 80. She may not get the changes she's hoping for, but we'll see!

Ditch the drive-through is dedicated to satisfying Kelly's balsamic cravings. She's going beyond shots of vinegar and venturing into the chicken arena. Check out Naptime Kitchen's Bruschetta (Balsamic) Chicken slow-cooker recipe here.
