April: Links I Love

WOW WHERE DOES TIME GO. I mean, I get it – we’re all busy, and month after month feels like just a week and we’re longing for more time all the time to just get basic things done. One basic thing? Catching up on cool things from the internet. It’s a simple thing that should accompany any good cuppa coffee and start intriguing conversations with friends. So, to help you along, here are my favorite 8 finds from the web this month. Brace yo’self.

April.

An important conversation around confidence, secrets to long life from the oldest women in the world, “At Last” on steroids, Instagram tips & tricks, a powerful post on happiness, the best drugstore beauty product lookalikes, how complimenting your SO works real wonders, and big cats playing in boxes. That last one though…your day is about to be made, I promise.
