Things to Click On: Free Fun on the Internet

Happy August 1st! I have been scheming about August for awhile now and I’m excited to bring you a whole month of blog plans. That’s right. I’m back to having a plan. Today I’m catching you up on some of my current favorite links. Please share yours below!

1. This vlog post about bravery from my friend Megan. It really challenged me to reevaluate why I choose NOT to do things. Is it because I’m scared to try?

2. These awkward and long commercials from Nuva-Ring. I know the concept is that we’re supposed to feel like this is an honest conversation we could really have with our best girl friend about birth control. Except…totally creepy. My favorite is   "Oh!verheard at a Concert.”

3. Totally cool list from one of my favorite blogs, Thrift and Shout. The ten things she says you should NEVER buy retail…

4. A super fun personality and style test called Emotional Brilliance. It’s based on color psychology and even if you don’t plan on ordering anything from Lush, it’s amazing how insightful it is for a computer-app. Thank you to Sarah for sharing this cool feature with me.

5. Have you seen this great 50’s throwback video, “Everybody Talks” from Neon Trees? It makes me want to dance.

So tell me what internet fun you’ve scrounged up lately. What am I missing out on?

Let it…drizzle?

The weather here hasn’t exactly inspired visions of sugar plums in my head. It’s kind of just been blahblah drizzly fall. Which I will probably be longing for come February in Ohio. But with the tree and the lights and the Christmas carols blaring…I guess I was just hoping for a little snowflake. I was thinking this December might be a bust until I saw THIS.

Now THAT’S what I’m talking about. Bring it on, December.

Oh, and if you haven’t stopped over to enter Ashley’s adorable holiday giveaway at A Recipe for Sanity, you need to go there right now! If you haven’t had a chance to read and follow Ashley, you should probably get on that. Because she’s seriously an awesome cook and an awesome writer AND one of my favorite blogs out there. Stop by and say hello!
