Nobody panic but Baggu’s summer collection drops today at 1pm EST, May 8th, on their site and in-store!! These sustainable bags are perfect for everyday wear at a great price point.

Whether you love her or hate her, you can’t deny Meghan Markle has beauty and style.

It’s pretty much my life’s calling to ~dare to be different~ as a middle child and this mission obvi included food (example: everyone else was happy ordering a double cheeseburger in the McDonald’s drive-through but this girl needed a fish filet). That’s how I ended up obsessed with tiramisu to the point that it became my annual birthday cake tradition.

Sometimes a mystery isn’t really about what happened, but instead more about how and why it happened. That’s the case with Netflix’s four-part limited series Adolescence.
