Happy Sunday! I don't know about where you are, but the weather here in NC has taken a gorgeous turn and we are currently experiencing the stuff that Spring weather is made of. We've spent the past week celebrating birthdays, planting new flowers outside (thanks Scott!), and hunting eggs in anticipation of next weekend.  It's been truly divine.  With all of these wonderful distractions, you can imagine I haven't spent much time with the interwebs, but there are some things that are totally worth catching up on.

+ I am such a fan of James Corden - this & this are some of the best I've seen yet.

+ If you don't follow Cat and Nat yet, you should.  And this couldn't be more true.

+ Jenna Lyons announced this past week that after 26 years, she's leaving JCrew.  Which is HUGE and this article sums up why we all love Jenna.

+Aren't we all searching for the holy grail of how to find balance? I think that this article has some good foundation ideas

Hope you & yours have had a wonderful weekend! Cheers to the week ahead!

Whew, it's been a week, hasn't it? Beyond the weather being a little, shall me say, crazy, it's been an intense week for work and life.  To that end, most of the links that I'm loving around the interwebs are very fun and frivolous.  Isn't that why we peruse the internet anyway?

+ I am more excited than anyone should be about this movie (#nerdalert)

+ Fashionistas of the world rejoiced this week with the release of the lookbook from Victoria Beckham's line for Target.  Want more? Spice up your life with this commercial promo; I'm about to say something that will make me vastly unpopular, but I wasn't hot and bothered about it.

+ Russia gets a lot of flack, but Nike Russia released this really fantastic commercial that is totally worth a watch (there are subtitles is your Russian isn't on point)

+ As if I needed another reason to classify SJP as my spirit animal

+ I am obsessed with TED Talks and I loved these recommendations

+ If you are excited about the live-action Beauty & the Beast, then you'll love this.

Hope you guys have had a lovely weekend and cheers to an easier week than last.

Happy Sunday folks! Can we all just agree that this past week was, well, quite the week? I thought that having the stomach flu at 26 weeks pregnant was rough, but after this past week, I need a week's vacation.

+ i can't tell you how much i adore JLo and this video only solidifies that

+ for anyone who's seen the original Beauty & the Beast, the leap to make an openly gay character isn't much of one, but I love them for it.

+ spring must be in the air because everyone is obsessed with baby animals.  I've taken a particular interest in Fiona the hippo at the Cincinnati Zoo.

+ I am big on etiquette and I feel like everyone should look at this for a quick refresher

+ an absolutely heartbreaking, but beautiful dating advert written by a wife for her husband after she passes

+ Tom Hanks sent a gift to the press corps at the White House and it's brilliant.

+ Ever wonder why a lot of heroines wear blue (Alice, Dorthy, Cinderella, Belle)? This article explains it a bit.

+ on raising a feminist daughter

I'm not going to lie, this weekend has been blissful.  I took a respite from life and have been holed up at a local resort enjoying a girls weekend full of laughs, good food, spa treatments, and relaxation.  I suspect it will be the last time that this happens for a while so I'm trying to relish it as long as I can.  As I acclimate back to real life today, ease on into it with me with my favorite finds around the interwebs.

+ I should be less in love with this song, but #sorryi'mnotsorry

+ Sometimes the simplest message comes from the most surprising places.

+ I am such a fan of Andrew McMahon so obviously I love this.

+ On heels of the Women's March last weekend, Morgan's approach to bridging the divide is worth the read.

+ Need some more inspiration for calm after a crazy week?

Upon reflection, most of these links are about coming together and finding commonality in a time that is so contentious and divided.  This week has been quite a special one so you can probably guess where my head space is at, but regardless, I hope that you enjoy.  Take some time today with your loved ones. Be kind to each other and cheers to a better tomorrow!

Happy first Sunday in December folks! I hope that you've had a great weekend thus far.  We've been busy with movies, birthday parties, and playing, but it had been a while since I had a chance to do a sunday scroll for you folks and thought I'd bring it back.  So without further ado, here's a brief run-down of what I'm loving on the interwebs this week.

+ Lin-Manuel Miranda released the Hamilton MixTape, which everyone who follows this play has been anxiously awaiting.  I don't think it disappoints.  Its up for grabs here but if you want a preview, check out this weeks #Ham4Ham. Also, if you want a good laugh, check out Lin's Drunk History Lesson.

+ Many people greatly dislike the task of wrapping gifts.  I actually love it, but I find this tutorial fascinating.

+ It's basically the end of the year and I don't know about you, but professionally (and personally) I've felt a little burned out for sure.  This is a tremendously interesting article about how to beat burn out.

+ It's finally starting to stay consistently cold and with that comes heaters and dryer air inside.  I love this run down of the best hydrating lip balms.

1 // September has hit and that means all of the pumpkins, the spice, and the lot, including some ideas for easy/last minute halloween costumes (because apparently a month constitutes as last minute?)

2 // To say that I am obsessed with Best in Show would be an understatement, so you can imagine my excitement when I came across this on YouTube. (I'm also excited about this & this released in October as well)

3 // It's football season which means I'm always on the hunt for good tailgating food and I'll be bringing these to our tailgate this weekend.

4 // Is it weird that I feel somewhat justified about my go-to foundation because it's vetted by Lisa Eldridge? Can't wait to add her book to my coffee table book collection.

5 // As if you weren't already obsessed with this song, check out this video.

Happy Sunday! I'll be starting a quasi-regular spot here on the old blog called the Sunday Scroll, where I'll be sharing some of my favorite finds around the web, inspiration, and maybe even a few good deals (see item 3).  So kick back, grab yourself a cup of jo, & let's take a quick and leisurely scroll to see what's good around the interwebs this week.

1 // Get a good chuckle while reading this article; I'm just relieved that my name isn't on the list.

2 // I hope that you share a little love this long weekend.

3 // Anthro's 40% off of their already on-sale items are totally worth checking out.


4 // Further evidence (beyond the fact that I constantly get told I look like her) that Leslie Knope/Amy Poehler are my spirit animals.
