This Week's Best Stuff on the Internet

I've been waiting for Pee-wee to come out with a new movie since 1985. My prayers were answered on Friday, when Pee-wee's Big Holiday premiered on Netflix. If you don't have an existing affinity for Pee-wee, you probably aren't going to love this movie. But if you do, you will. It's silly, a little dumb, and I loved every second!
 

Maybe this is the pregnancy hormones talking, but this post about moms saying goodbyes to their first children made me burst into tears. Especially the dog photo! Waaaaah!
 

Change your vocabulary, change your attitude. 

Okay, okay, okay... what in the hell is going on with my pal Richard Simmons?! This article suggests that Richard is more a less a prisoner in his own home. Both Richard and his "caretakers" claim all is well... which is precisely what one would say if they were being held captive! It's all too fishy.

Entering the work force? Disillusioned by your job? Maybe you should read this excellent career advice nobody tells you.

My Palm Springs dream home is for sale! Check it out-- no one has updated it since the 1960s. Incredible. 

Men wear the same outfits to work over and over again. Can women do the same? I say yes, duh, of course! Find your signature style and rock it. 

Behold: the pillow that's changed my life. It's supposed to be for pregnancies, but guys: I swear it's so good, it should just be the default pillow for all!

Ever thought about quitting your job and moving to Italy? Melissa did and it sounds pretty great.

This Week's Best Stuff on the Internet

Hi from sunny Minneapolis! I think the sun's return, plus me not feeling like crap every day might have something to do with why I'm feeling inspired to write more these days. Hence, the return of This Week's Best Stuff on the Internet. Let's start off withPortlandia's depiction of travel photos vs. what traveling is actually like is pretty spot-on. 
 

You know you should probably be taking vitamins. But which ones? And what time of day shoudl you take them? No worries, get all your answers here.

When it comes to healthy, happiness and longevity, friendships are almost as important as drinking water. Here's why.

So... would you meet Shake Shack millionaire Danny Meyer's hiring criteria? If not, I say you should work on it. 

Thought about this very, very strange food problem as I shoveled pasta covered with vodka sauce and parm into my mouth. 

These boots have changed my life. They literally turn leggings and a sweater into a fashionable outfit (and PS they are on sale). 

And since we're talking about clothes, I bought maternity overalls. Really. 

Lastly, if you were following the story about the weirdest gift I've ever received (spoiler alert: it's a chair with a painting of me and my ex-boyfriend on the seat of a chair), I HAVE AN UPDATE!!!! Read about it here.

Even grocery store commercials make me weepy this time of year. Damn you, Publix!

I'd say throwing your a dog a quincenera is out of control, but I'd probably do it for Patsy.

Everyone's favorite travel guy in dad jeans talks fear of travel. Thanks for your words of wisdom, Rick Steves!

The story behind Miss R, my favorite performer of all time. After Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, and Freddie Mercury, of course.

I got sick last week and watched a bazillion hours of HGTV. I've had all of these thoughts about Fixer Upper at least three times. 

This one is pretty straightforward: How to quit when you're afraid of your boss. 

My friend Andy shadowed one of those companies who clean up crime scenes. Dark, but totally interesting.

This Week's Best Stuff on the Internet

Between traveling, Thanksgiving, and coming down with the most brutal cold of all time, I feel like a shell of a human being. I've been mostly watching movies, but don't worry-- I also found time to cruise the Internet looking for things to make me think, laugh, and roll my eyes at how I can't escape that new Adele song. Sh's super talented, but can't we all just calm down for a second? Maybe that's just me. Oh well, at least she seems to have a great sense of humor.

I'm always looking for ways to make my life better, and even though when I read this I was a little like ugh, really? I know they've got a point. So here's 8 Things Everyone Should Do Before 8 am.

I adore Love Actually, and I don't care who knows it! Here's 12 reasons to still love Love Actually.

My friend Josh wrote this awesome piece about how to make your kids more entrepreneurial. Nice! 

I can't not share this thing you probably already read: Did you know Anne Frank's family was denied entry to the US as refugees? Just a little perspective sandwich.

Another woman talking about the "unspeakable." Thanks, Man Repeller!

I've been lusting over this stadium coat from J.Crew for two years, and literally found almost the exact same one at Nordstrom for $150 less. It's warm, soft, and oh-so-stylish. Highly recommended!

En route to Berlin, Josh and I watched Trainwreck and were those annoying people who can't stop laughing on the plane. Maybe it was the wine, but maybe it was Amy Schumer's writing. Probably both!

PS I am currently posting from a rainy Berlin! Follow along on my German/Italian adventures via Instagram if you want.
