With One Click You Can Save Thousands Of Children

It’s very rare that I tout a non-profit. But listen up, people. This is serious.

It’s time to support International Medical Corp (IMC) -  a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training. Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, IMC’s mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions in underserved communities worldwide.

The coolest part? IMC has been chosen out of 1,190 projects by American Express to be eligible to receive up to $1.5 million in funding. But you have to VOTE for them HERE in order for them to get this funding!

Yes, it’s really possible that with one click, you can save the lives of thousands of malnourished children – but you have to vote HERE before September 29th.

Please take one minute of your day to vote. It will mean that severely malnourished kids will receive a life-saving treatment program that will offer them much-needed nutrient-dense food supplements. This is a life-saving action that will change the lives of thousands. Please help NOW by voting here.  

Girl Crushin’

I have a new girl crush. C’mon ladies – you know what I’m talkin’ about (and if you don’t – listen up).

AAAAAAND SCENE:

Lauren walks into spin/yoga class, spots instructor, gets a wee nervous.

Lauren: Oh, hi Danielle! (Flips bangs.)

Danielle: Hey Lauren! So glad you made it to class! (Continues to greet every other person that walks into spin/yoga studio.)

Lauren: Yeah, me too! (Lauren says over-eagerly. Once she notices that Danielle isn’t listening anymore, Lauren starts to over-adjust her spinning bike…embarrassed. Class starts. Of course, Danielle plays Lauren’s favorite techno song to begin workout. Lauren incorrectly believes this is because Danielle and Lauren are besties.)

Danielle: Okay everyone! Ready to work extra hard today? I know we’re all ready for it. Turn it up to level eight and increase your cadence.

Lauren: (Huffing, puffing. Starts sprinting on spinning bike to the point of exhaustion. Note: It’s only three minutes into the class.)

Danielle: Ummm, Lauren – good job! Don’t forget to save some energy for after our warm-up.

Lauren: Oh…of course! (Lauren is meanwhile thinking, “I’m dying…I’m not gonna make it.”)

AAAAAND SCENE.

No need to go further into what a girl crush looks like. Obvi: Jen, please don’t take this personally. You’ll always complete me.

Cookies Are The New Cupcakes

I hate cupcakes. There, I said it. (Okay, so I don’t hate cupcakes, but I’m sick of hearing about them. ) Lately, it’s been all, “cupcakes this and cupcakes that.” Thank gawd there’s been a cupcake backlash.

So I’m officially here to nominate the cookie as the cupcake’s official opposing candidate. If you haven’t heard, cookies f’ing rule. And here’s why:

• Cookies don’t have muffin tops (yeah fatty cupcakes, you heard me).
• You can make one BIG cookie and put icing on it. If you do that to a cupcake, it becomes a cake. Lame.
• Number of cookie flavors: Infinite.
• Number of cupcake flavors: 15 at best. FAIL.
• One single cupcake from Crumbs Bakery in NYC has up to 36 grams of fat. Try saying that about a cookie (or four).
• Is there a cupcake named after an amazingly beautiful and talented woman? Me and Mrs. Fields thinks not.

I have ten thousand other reasons why I adore cookies and think cupcakes are subpar, but I’m too busy buying this shirt to continue posting. So I’ll end with this:
