link love

HAPPY FRIDAY! I've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus recently because I can't quite get my feet on the ground. It's been one thing after another with school, work, and friends -- all good things, though! --so I've been out living life rather than writing about it here. I have a really low key weekend planned to recharge and lay by the pool. I can't wait.

I was Aaron was watching a SEC Storied on ESPN about Shaq and his Coach Dale Brown while he was at LSU. ESPN is on all.the.time at our place so I mostly tune it out while laying on the couch pinning. But this documentary -- and this quote in particular -- really caught my ear. It was all about Shaq's  growth as an athlete and his friendship with his Coach. It's worth watching for any athletes or anyone interested in college sports.

Some links I'm loving....

• Who runs the world? GIRLS. But we already knew that. #GIRLBOSS
• This is such a big deal for so many kids.
• I love Jimmy Fallon sketches and this bit with Jamie Foxx is no different. 
• How many of these timeless beauty trends do you rock? I've been really into cat-eyes recently. Side note: don't ever ask a girl with even cat-eyes why she is late. Looking at you, Aaron :)
• Just in time for MDW.... a sunscreen guide. DON'T you leave the house without it!
• Did you see this interview with Danielle of WeWoreWhat? I appreciate her transparency and it is fascinating how much money some people though I did think her tone was a bit off-putting. What did you think?
