It’s My Birthday: Here Are Some Things I Like

I heart this move hardcore. I watched it every single day for three weeks at the age of 8, and I'm still convinced it's one of the best animated movies ever. It's got a bunch of familiar voices, a soundtrack by the fantastic 70's crooners America, and an Existential storyline that is so not for children. Here's the first 9 minutes of the movie. If you haven't seen this shiz, Netflix it immediately.

Cupcake Recipes!

Anthropologie

If you're a stylish hippie girl at heart, this store is kind of like Heaven. Is most of the clothing too expensive? Yes. But is it all beautiful, easy to wear, and long lasting? Yup. I make a point of sifting through their Sales on a weekly basis.

Pumpkin Spice Flax Kashi Granola Bars

I know. It sounds like it's gonna taste like cardboard, but trust me, these bars are healthy with the added benefit of tasting fantastic. Next time you're in the grocery store, pick up a box, and stow it in your purse for a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack. Eating is good, but eating natural is even better.

Lolita

I can never recommend this book enough. It's got everything one could ever ask for in literary fiction, and Nabokov is genuinely hilarious. It's the Thinking Girl's beach read.

John and Kate Plus 8

Look, if you think kids are cute, and like watching truly normal people deal with a sh*tload of them, then this show is for you. I know it's on TLC and I know it's Reality TV, but it's really one of the most entertaining things out there. I couldn't really tell you why.
