I don't typically post stuff like this, but this is Francesca's cousin's cat and I feel very strongly that you need to meet him. This video will make your morning, and perhaps your entire year, and 2016 was shit...so let's make it better with videos of possessed karate cats, shall we?
When your lollipop matches your lip balm. (This was part of a mailing sent by Korres to promote their lip butters, and I just want to call it out as an example of truly excellent marketing: they packaged the lip butters with matching lollipops, and the whole thing was so pretty and visual that it practically screamed "Instagram me.")
These look like nursing shoes and I can hear my mother making fun of me for liking them from all the way across the country but whatever: CUTE.
The pose! The colors! The ripped upholstery! This article is FASCINATING. (Why Time's Trump Cover Is A Subversive Work Of Political Art, via Forward.)
A couple of weeks ago, Kendrick asked me what I want for Christmas this year. The truth is that I want a flushmount light for our dining room (this one, if you're curious, although this one is the one that I actually am considering purchasing because even though it's teeeeechnically not a flushmount it could be adjusted to hang close to the ceiling and is way cheaper).
But enough about my flushmount fantasies. I literally cannot think of anything less romantic to ask for than "a flushmount light," and Kendrick is nothing if not romantic, so I'm going to buy the thing myself at some point and give him options that won't make him look at me like this.
This year, of course, the focus is on the kids - because they are at the cutest possible age for Christmas excitement (and I totally want to capitalize on this by getting my son a kitten, because he would explode, but that would mean that I would have to actually own and care for a cat, so...no) - and I don't want Kendrick to spend too much time (or money) on me, so I passed a couple of ideas his way, neither of which include the word "flush" in the title. And in the course of coming up with these ideas, I came up with lots and lots more...and posted them here for you, in case you need some ideas of your own. They start at just $12, and I love each and every one. (OK, I love the last one the most.)
That's a seriously accurate depiction of our family, right there.
For this year's installment of Kendrick's gift guide - which in the past has focused on everything from comic book recommendations to toys for grown-up boys - he decided to pull ideas from all over the place. Is the guy in your life a fan of covert ops? The Notorious B.I.G.? Cleveland? Expressing his support for all mankind? Covering all that may sound like a tall order, but ohhhh he's got you covered. - Jordan
P.S. See all of his past gift guides here, if you're curious.
Spending today getting the house nice and Christmassy.
P.S. If you, like us, are faux-tree people, pleeeeeease trust me and buy this candle.
Hi! In lieu of an actual "kid's gift guide," this year I thought I'd just go ahead and tell you what I'm getting for my kids, mostly because I am at this very moment doing my own Black Friday shopping (via Amazon Prime, because this means I don't have to brush my hair). (And okay, also because I meant to write this last night but put my son to bed around 8:30PM and ended up passing out next to him, and apparently entered a tryptophan-induced coma state, because I didn't wake up for TWELVE HOURS.)
