No way! Insanity!
This would be my reaction upon realizing that we’ve almost reached the end of Janura already – despite New Year’s Eve being just yesterday. Honestly, somebody pinch me. This also means my birthday is coming up in a mere five days but – especially with recent going-ons [one of which I’ll mention in tomorrow’s post!] I haven’t made any plans for it yet. Moving on to today’s collection of great posts from all around the web. Whether you’re snowed in or just a little bored on a Sunday: there’s something for everybody.
Happy Sunday!

I need to make those frozen turtle bars, they look so yummy! Great linkup and happy Sunday 🙂
Thank you for linking to that Time Magazine article. So much that just blows my mind. It’s crazy to think how rich we’d be in some countries (and poor) with the exchange rates. It’s hard to imagine spending hundreds of dollars on groceries, but I’m used to shopping for two and I’m pretty thrifty. That’s so cute they have the dog and his dog food in the Great Britain one. And all that soda! So many thoughts.
Also, thanks for reminding me about Psychology Today. I no longer will go to Buzzfeed when I want some reading.
Sorry, Kate. Your comment went into the spam folder – seriously, WordPress?! – and I only saw it now.
The Time article is quite good at reminding us of the vast differences between people all around the world. At times it’s insane to think how blessed we are and how easily we take life as we know it for granted. Also, yes, BuzzFeed can be fun but I hardly visit it as often as before. Psychology Today satisfies my need for “deeper” reads.
LOVED that detox article. SO many great reads here! Happy sunday ❤
Labeling can be so psychological, and I feel like that Washington Post article is spot on. 🙂 And I’ve tried one detox. It wasn’t good for my body. GOd made us to be balanced. 🙂
