Links & Love & Stuff

:) Click over to I Want To Be Her for a fun interview in which I talk my five favorite finds of the moment, including the best-smelling candle ON THE PLANET (I mean that), footwear that I surprised myself by wearing quite literally into the ground, and the ultimate tired-eyes pick-me-up.

:) Here is the blouse that will absolutely make your spring/summer wardrobe. (It is expensive. It might just be worth it.)

:) “To be honest, a peek inside my mind most days would probably look like X-Wings and TIE Fighters,” responded every husband in the world. (Mom’s Bedtime Doodle Shows The Thoughts Of A Multi-Tasker, via Today.)

:) I paid attention to the Superbowl for exactly forty-six seconds (that would be the length of the Ryan Reynolds/Hyundai ad, which was fine but…you know, kind of “eh” about Ryan Reynolds these days), choosing instead to focus on the absolutely insane amount of food my friends and I set out. I do kind of wish I had watched more of the commercials, though; this recap (via Slate) is a good one for those of you who also were more about tacos than TV on Sunday.

:) Speaking of Superbowl food: I have discovered a recipe that you need to try. Trader Joe’s Party Meatballs + heated-up, mixed-together BBQ sauce and grape jelly (yes, grape jelly). Try it. Oh my god.

Mom Bod sweatshirt on glam camp

:) We redesigned our Mom Bod sweatshirt; it’s now suuuuuuper soft and fits great (that’s the old version pictured above, along with my beloved ModCloth pillow). I’ll shoot it soon so you can see what it looks like on, but in the meantime you can check it out here.

:) These espadrilles (in denim) are kind of insane and I would fall off of them immediately. But they’re also sort of…irresistible.

:) Love this bookshelf makeover on Gala Darling – super cute (and great tips!).

:) I feel like if you picked up a pair of these maternity jeans, they are literally the only thing you would want to wear throughout your entire pregnancy. They’re GOOD.

:) I didn’t know that it was possible for me to want to hang out with a person less than I want to hang out with Gisele Bundchen, but there you go. (How Hollywood’s Favorite Juice Bar Owner Eats Every Day, via Elle.) Related: this article on The Frisky lays out what it costs to eat like this lady.

:) It is so hot out this week (EIGHTY DEGREES YESSSS) that I am presently cutting all of my jeans into shorts. Also lusting over this high-waisted, super-chic denim pair.

Crescent moon gold and diamond earrings

:) Crescent moon earrings with teeny-tiny diamonds = perfection. (Pick up a pair here.)

:) “Don’t read the comments” has become a joke among those who make their living on the Internet, but all this does is serve to normalize a culture of serious – and pervasive – online harassment. This article offers an alternative. (Against ‘Don’t Read the Comments,’ via Medium.)

:) OK. She gets a medal. (50 Million People Have Watched This Video Of A Mom Dressing Her 4 Kids In The Morning, via Redbook.)

:) “In any given race featuring a female candidate, there will always be a Bernie Sanders who can do what she can’t do and say what she can’t say. And if there will always be a Bernie Sanders, then there may never be a female president of the United States.” (The Secret To Bernie Sanders’ Success? He’s Not A Woman, via Slate.)

:) Every time I read yet another study proving that meditation is actually, scientifically, quantitatively like the best thing you can possibly do for yourself and your body and your mind and your life, I get inexplicably annoyed. I’m aware that this probably means that I should meditate. (Harvard Unveils MRI Study Proving Meditation Literally Rebuilds the Brain’s Gray Matter in 8 Weeks, via Feel Guide.)
