Folica.com
If its one thing I hate shopping for, it’s beauty products. Between makeup, hair products, hair tools, skin care, body wash, and the list goes on, I usually find myself running around to a million different places when in reality I’d rather just use that time to sit on my couch and watch TV and just walk around looking like a hot-mess. But I know my grandma would not approve and tell me that it is NO way to meet a husband.

But now I found the BEST way to still sit on my couch and look damn good too. Folica is by far the best all-encompassing beauty site out there. They have everything from the best flat irons to the best potions to get rid of that monster zit on your face. Not to mention they always have SWEET deals and usually free shipping. And they ship it out faster than you can type in your credit card information. Check out this curling iron by Enzo Milano; I’m OBSESSED. It’s pricey, but gives you red carpet curls that last all night.

One more thing to know: through tonight they have a big holiday sale going on. You can get $20 off any purchase of $100 or more and $35 off of purchases $150 or more! Plus FREE shipping! Aren’t you glad you’re in The Know?

Nonja The Camera Happy Orangatan
You thought you were the selfie queen? Well, meet Nonja. She lives in the Vienna zoo and is quite the photographer. She’s developed a huge following around the world, got herself an endorsement with Samsung, and even has her own Facebook fan page (though I’m pretty sure she’s not managing that herself). The updates are written in German so I have no idea what they mean, but the adorable photos are easy enough to understand and love.

I don’t know what it is about monkeys (especially ones that take pictures), but I’m obsessed.
