:) These Democratic Primary candidate Valentine’s Day cards are Hillar-ious (hee) and ship for free (!) and will totally get to you on time for V-Day if you order by Feb 8.

:) I just picked up my new favorite white button-down at Anthropologie: it’s simple and a little flowy and oversized and exactly the refresher my (now extremely pared-down) wardrobe needed.

:) It’s not perfect (why doesn’t curvy Barbie have curvy arms…?), but it’s about time. (Will New Body Types Save Barbie? The Evolution of What Used to Be the World’s Favorite Doll, via EOnline.)

:) Added a dollop of Kopari’s organic coconut melt to my bath last night (you can also use it as hair conditioner, body moisturizer, baby balm, pretty much whatever) and it was a skin-softening, tropical piece of heaven.

:) Did you know I’m now an EXERCISING MACHINE? Truth. Which means I probably should buy these dance leggings; it’s only responsible.

:) Say hello to my life. (N.Y.C. To L.A. To N.Y.C. To L.A., Ad Infinitum, via The New Yorker.)

:) Here is a homemade music video that Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard apparently made on a trip to Africa that is now on steady loop in my head.

:) I would never spend this amount of money on a pair of sneakers – I mean, obviously – but YAH these are cool.

:) “Does your top cover both your hoo-ha and your butt?” (and other important things to consider before wearing leggings as pants – which, just as an aside, I am a FIRM proponent of, because #comfortable and #lazy). (4 Things To Ask Yourself Before Wearing Leggings As Pants, via EliteDaily.)

:) We all hear the stories of lottery winners whose lives have practically collapsed post-win. In this Marie Claire piece, Koa Beck profiles a woman who decided to take charge rather than letting her life run away with her.

:) Loaded guns. Families with kids. And restaurants that serve alcohol. It’s a legal combination in FORTY STATES. Makes perfect sense. (Rachel Dratch Finds Out #WhatCouldGoWrong, via Everytown For Gun Safety.)

:) This takedown is both epic and well-deserved. Oh HELL no. (Mother Unleashes Righteous Fury on the Saleswoman Who Told Her Daughter to Wear Spanx, via Mommyish.)

Why road tripping with kids is wonderful

:) Nothing better than a road trip. Here’s a roundup of the 5 best on the West Coast.

:) “…Could you guys make me a coffee on spec, so I can see if I like it?” LOL at this video. (Watch What Happens When You Ask Non-Creative Professionals To Work For Free, via PhotographyBay.)

:) These Chocolate Milke leggings for toddler and baby girls are adorable – and have nary a sparkle or ruffle in sight (whew).

:) “This is gang mentality. It is the most basic power move in human existence: find people who are afraid, and use their fears to rise to power above them. He doesn’t want to be President: he wants to be King.” PLEASE read my friend Kristin Booker’s powerful post about the very dangerous place we find ourself in, with someone like Donald Trump being seriously considered as a presidential candidate.

:) Oh my god a one-day-old-baby-otter-being-snuggled-by-its-mother video. You’re welcome.
