One of the worst parts of this Tu/Th schedule is the loss of Friday alliteration with “favorites” posts. *sigh* I’ll get over it.
Actually, I’m going to start tying this into the ‘Add It To My List’ link-up that happened on Tuesday. I’m late to the party this month, but that’s ok.
Before I move on to other bloggers’ posts, here are some things across the internet that struck my fancy.
Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Flavored Coffee
K brought this to my attention and my mouth hasn’t stopped watering. I don’t typically crave whiskey in the morning, but sign me up for this! The description sounds so good! (*It’s non-alcoholic, Mom. Calm down. )
The National Parks Going Rogue
I made a Facebook status about not believe every headline you read, but I am consciously choosing to believe this. And I love it.
If you haven’t heard, our fearful leader put a temporary gag order on a few agencies. Maybe you hate his “reasoning” (*raises hand*), maybe you agree with it. Either way, this was the response.
And other departments/agencies have followed suit. 😏
Think Dirty – an app
All credit must be given to Stephanie for this one. She mentioned it in last week’s Three on Thursday. Guys… I’m obsessed with this (free) app. I have searched/scanned all my make-up products as well as my Ulta wishlist. I’ve made a new goal to own products that rank 5 and below on the “dangerous” list. If you’re concerned about what goes into your food and cleaning supplies and make-up then you need this app for make-up/face care.
. . .
Check out some posts from sweet friends (& a celebrity) across the internet who have spoken directly to my heart and soul these last few weeks.
- I truly believe Chelsea has one of the most joyful spirits I’ve ever seen (read?). Her outlook on making your life a place you want to be is so spot on.
- I’m a fan of Fixer Upper, but I don’t frequent Joanna Gaines blog. Fortunately, this post by her husband Chip came across my radar and really warmed me up.
- Julie was the first of her friends to become a mom. She shares the advice she wishes she would have received back then.
- There were SO MANY wonderful posts preceding and following the #WomensMarch, but Lindsay’s was one of my favorites.
- Happy 30th Birthday to Chelsea! Check out her thoughtful list of 20 Important Lessons She Learned in her 20s!
And there you have it. TBH, there were a ton of fantastic posts in January in Blogland. If you have any favorites (or maybe you wrote one that I missed!) feel free to leave the link in a comment!
Linking up with Lauren and Bre for Add It To My List.
Have a Happy Friday / weekend!! ❤︎
Life as Louise 
I never knew Joanna had a blog – thanks for the heads up on that.
I need to download that app NOW… & I know I’m going to be shocked.
I just dont get the things that is happening in our country right now. It’s just so disheartening 😦 We just gotta keep praying

I don’t read her blog regularly, but the post by Chip just happened to come across my FB. Glad I could point you in that direction!

So glad you’re loving the app! It’s so helpful. My goal is 5 and under too. If it’s something I REALLY want, I’ll dig deeper and look at what ingredient is making it a 7 and see if I can live with it. But nothing in the red zone!

I was definitely surprised to see how high some of my products rated. Nothing in the red (I don’t think…) but definitely high yellows. *sigh*

I love your “it’s non-alcoholic, Mom” remark! LOL! It does sound good though and I could really use a mega-sized mug of coffee!

So that Think Dirty app is exactly the kind of thing I *should* look at and entirely the kind of thing I probably won’t because it will make me too stressed out. haha! If you haven’t, you should check out the Yes to Cucumbers brand of shampoo, face wash, etc. They have some fragrance free stuff that I love and I think it’s better for you than some other things you can buy.
LikeLike
I know! I thought I was doing so well (since I buy cruelty-free and that tends to be natural/organic) but then I started entering stuff into the app and getting higher numbers. Oops…
The Yes to… brands don’t react well with my skin 😦 I’ve tried cucumber, tomato, and blueberry. Sigh. The only one that seems to be ok is the Yes to Coconut stuff for hair.

If you want to get a small, summed-up segment of news to your email every weekday morning you can sign up for Skimm emails (http://www.theskimm.com/?r=0255cf3c)! That’s how I get a lot of news. It takes me less than 5 minutes to read through the whole thing. That code is linked to my account so I get some kind of points if you sign up, but I really don’t care if you use it or not 🙂
