It’s not Hump Day, but I thought a nice way to end the month and give some time for this week’s giveaways to settle down would be to kickoff your weekend on a high note and post on good ol’ Saturday. Now is the month of May-ing (10 points for you if you know the song…) and it’s already almost done. I’ve been totally loving the links for this month. They’ve been everything from remarkably inspiring and empowering, to downright hilarious (don’t read #2 in a public space…you will cry laughing). I’ll just cut right to it, so that you can get right to cutting the kickbutt ice cream sandwich cake that you’ll master with #1. But first, be sure to check out these two sweet giveaways, all thanks to some fabulous ladies in cahoots with Coming Up Roses this past month! AND, I gotta say…Pura Vida. Pura Vida bracelets – that’s “pure life” in Spanish – are all about empowering communities. Every purchase helps provide full-time jobs for local artisans in Costa Rica who create each bracelet by hand with the inspiration around them. Pura Vida is also a 1% for the Planet member and has a dynamic Charity Collection, so you can select the causes closest to your heart and show colorful support right on your wrist. Grab a bunch for summer – they’re coated in light wax to keep them waterproof! Use code LIGENZA10 for 10% off your entire order. That’s right – 10% off the whole shebang. Now, some lovely links. There’s hysterical baby names, a gorgeous hair tutorial, ice cream sandwich cake, constant gratitude, a mindblowingly fabulous gymnast, how to be a grown-up, 3D makeup printing, and a little girl whose BFF is now rain. Happy clicking!
1. An ice cream sandwich cake. That’s right, Happy Spring. (thyhandhathprovided.com)
Click quick – it’ll be disappearing in ten right into my stomach.
2. The most absurdly hysterical baby names that people actually gave other people. Don’t sip your drink until after reading. (thoughtcatalog.com)
In case anyone was curious, yes, my parents almost chose Airwrecka.
3. How to be a grown-up in 10 steps:Â (publishersweekly.com)
Because just in case you didn’t know, you need deodorant everywhere.
4. Thxthxthx. Because who couldn’t use more thanks in their life? (thxthxthx.com)
Giving thanks for everything in life is a pretty darn cool thing.
5. This is bliss. May we never lose our sense of fascination and our childlike charm, even in a downpour. (metro.co.uk)
6. The most fabulous hip-hop-inspired floor routine – EVER. (jezebel.com)
7. The Gibson Tuck, perfect for playing dress-up or just getting fancy. (freckled-fox.com)
Emily’s hair tutorials are completely amazeballs.
8. How one Harvard student might singlehandedlybring down the beauty industry, one 3D printer at a time. (harpersbazaar.com)
Is anyone else feeling like the 22nd century is right around the corner? I mean, printing 3D objects out of thin air sounds baller.
Thanks to you if you took the time to scroll through this whole shindig! I hope you l-o-v-e-d my fresh pickins’ of May. If you didn’t…well, there’s always next month. Or April – April had some great ones, too. And as always, send me your favorites – they might end up being mine, too!
One last plug for Pura Vida, and I’ll be on my way to lifting – more details on my new fitness journey soon to come!
Peace out, stay rosy, and have a b-e-a-uuuuuutiful day!
