This week’s Pink Thing of the Day is a fantastic snack that was destined to disappear almost as quickly as I opened the bag: Trader Joe’s Pink Lady Apple Chips. These dehydrated apple slices are dusted with cinnamon sugar and have the kind of crisp crunch that makes them dangerously easy to keep eating by the handful.

Katherine Bernhardt is known for paintings that merge commercial motifs and imagery from everyday life with loose, expressive mark-making. Her canvases stage dense scenes of pop culture, featuring cartoon characters, brand logos, and household objects — Garfield, the Pink Panther, E.T., Crocs, the Nike swoosh, and cigarettes.

I never expected to become a watercolor person. I can’t sketch a face to save my life, and the last time I picked up a paintbrush was probably in elementary school. But lately, I kept noticing these tiny, pocket-sized watercolor kits everywhere—on café tables, tucked into backpacks, balanced on park benches. There was something about the simplicity of it that felt quietly irresistible.
So one weekend, I gave in. I took a small palette, a cup of water, and sat down on a bench near my apartment. Twelve minutes later, I had a slightly wonky painting of the tree across the path. It wasn’t technically good — but it was unexpectedly satisfying, the kind of small creative moment that lingers long after you pack everything away.
