FRIDAY LINKS

In honor of all the marches this weekend, we have a very feminine themed Friday links ahead. Have a very happy and safe weekend xx. 

• Still need a poster for the Women's March? Here are 33 you can download for free.
• When you think of challenges that homeless women face, the first things that come to mind are likely hunger and safety. This video opened my eyes to how much of a health and dignity issue menstruating can be for homeless women. Distributing Dignity is an organization that distributes bras and feminine hygiene products to women in need. Learn more and donate here! 
• I want to send this card to all my ladies.
• A favorite NYT article on the the importance of friendship between women.
• I bought this book for my nieces, it's amazing. This one looks similar and might join their bookshelf soon.
• Love this Girl Power shirt and this boob shirt!

LIFE LATELY

• Listening to the La La Land soundtrack and Khalid "American Teen", on repeat. 
• Wearing Girlfriend Collective leggings. This company decided to forgo traditional marketing and give out leggings for the cost of shipping ($20) and rely on word of mouth and social media. To be honest, I thought this was a scam or the leggings would be bad quality, but I gave it a shot and figured it was just $20. But my expectations were beyond succeeded. The leggings are SO comfortable, really flattering, and excellent quality. I have been recommending them left and right, and everyone who also purchased them agrees. Best purchase of 2016! 
• Doing  long runs. I hadn't been running as often since it has been getting dark earlier, but I'm trying to get back into running and I just hit the threshold of it being enjoyable again. I ran 8 miles this week, which has been my longest in awhile! ^^ photo above from my run.  
• Watching This Is Us. I binged through it over Christmas and can't wait for the new season to start. It's such a beautiful show, but I ugly cry every single episode. 
• Reading Persepolis and When Breath Becomes Air. Longer post to come, but they are both important and beautiful reads. 
• Eating Imperfect Produce! It is a produce delivery company that sells "ugly" fruits and vegetables that don't get sold in grocery stores, simply because the appearance. Buying the uglies cuts down on food waste and helps support local farmers. It's an awesome service and available in San Francisco and soon LA. 
• Applying Glossier Boy Brow. Oh my god. I was nervous to try any of their products since I couldn't see them in person or test them. But Boy Brow really lives up to the hype, I am obsessed. The Concealer and Generation G are also fantastic, and affordable.
• Resolving to travel more, save more money, floss more, and support my friends in their passion projects.
• Going to a few places! 2017 seems to be my year of travel, with quite a few trips already lined up. Sonoma, Santa Barbara, Austin, Mexico and LA are already on the calendar. Send me recommendations!
