We may not be around all our friends and family this year, but there’s still so much to be thankful for. From Pharell’s fountain of youth explained, to the Thanksgiving playlist you never knew you needed, we’re giving you this week’s roundup early! Also, make sure to read ’til the very end for a special contribution from The Charles team. #breadcrumbs

CULTURE

• Our families may be far, but these Friends are just a click away 📺
• The best ways you can give back this Thanksgiving
• So you mean to tell me, the turkey is FROM Turkey? #funfact 🦃
• Body-ody + “Dynamite”: the only dinner table conversation starters you need
• Gratitude is the best attitude. These women share what life’s really about 🙏

ART & FASHION

• The best beauty steals for after you’ve stuffed your face 💄
• Mash potatoes with a side of wavy? This playlist is the best side dish 🍽
• Raise a glass to the corporate holiday party that never was 🍸
• Breakout the glam & dust off your high heels, your zoom Thanksgiving is about to get festive
• Okay. So maybe Pharrell isn’t a vampire. The man just has a great skincare routine 🚿

FOOD & DRINKS

• The delivery man knows your name, sis. Time to get a cookbook or two 📚
• Bring on the desserts! And by desserts, we mean drinks. 🍨
• Save a turkey, eat some turnips. Six vegan dishes to try this holiday
• It’s okay, we couldn’t get Chef Gordon Ramsay to make Thanksgiving dinner either, but we’ve got options! 🥘
• Just when you thought you were full…say hello to leftovers 🤤
