    These Are ‘The Warmest Socks Ever’ and Perfect For People Who Always Have Cold Feet

    My feet are literally always cold. It could be the middle of July and my feet are still cold.

    That is why I am ALWAYS on the hunt for warm, fluffy socks that are also cute (because they have to look cute with my pj’s, right?).

    Well, I think I just found the mother-load of all warm socks because apparently, according to the company, These Are ‘The Warmest Socks Ever’!

    Heat Holders

    Oh and did I mention, they are cute too?!

    These are called “Heat Holders” and they are the warmest socks around.

    Keep feet warm on the coldest of days and pull on this pair of solid color crew length Heat Holders® for women (ladies), the warmest thermal sock.

    Thick, chunky and with a massive tog rating of 2.34, Heat Holders® are made from a specially developed heavy bulk yarn which has extreme thermal qualities. With long pile cushioning, these thermal socks will help keep feet fully comfortable and supported.

    The inside of each sock has been intensively brushed that not only feels sensationally soft but also traps warm air close to the skin keeping your feet warmer for longer.

    Heat Holders® are non-binding. They are diabetic friendly and provide relief for cold feet due to circulation problems.

    • Cute √
    • Warm √
    • Affordable √
    • Soft √

    Plus, they even make socks for men too so you can have your man’s feet extra toasty too!

    These would make a great gift and would even be perfect for emergency kits!

    You can grab Heat Holders Socks on Amazon for around $15.99 a pair here.

  • ‘Bridgerton’ Has Been Nominated For 2 SAG Awards and All I Have To Say Is, They Better Win

    ‘Bridgerton’ Has Been Nominated For 2 SAG Awards and All I Have To Say Is, They Better Win

    OMG Yessssss! I am so excited!!

    I just found out that Bridgerton Has Been Nominated For Not 1 But 2 Screen Actors Guild Awards and All I Have To Say Is, They Better Win!

    I was so bummed when I heard they weren’t nominated for any Golden Globes, like WTH?

    Seriously, if you haven’t watched the first season of Bridgerton on Netflix, what are you doing with your life? Ha!

    Courtesy of Netflix

    No, but really you need to watch it (just without the kids).

    Once you’ve seen it, you would understand why this series is so deserving of a SAG Award.

    Bridgerton has been nominated for two of them. The first was for Star Regé-Jean Page and he was nominated in the male actor in a TV drama category.

    The second nomination was for the cast for outstanding drama ensemble.

    Seriously, I will riot if they don’t win these awards.

    Okay, not really but I really want them to win! Bridgerton is so good and should totally be recognized.

    The SAG Awards will be simulcast on TNT and TBS on Sunday, April 4. (Like CNN, the networks are part of WarnerMedia.)

    So, cross your fingers and toes that they win!!

  • ‘Ramen Baths’ Are The Strange New Beauty Trend and I’m Not Sure How I Feel

    ‘Ramen Baths’ Are The Strange New Beauty Trend and I’m Not Sure How I Feel

    Look, I LOVE Ramen and I am all for some Ramen Bombs but Ramen Baths?

    I think I might just sit this one out…

    Yes, people are taking ‘Ramen Baths’ and It’s The Strange New Beauty Trend.

    So, I’ll be honest, I still have no idea WHY people are taking baths with Ramen Noodles but it is happening.

    myfancyramen

    People are posting on social media their baths filled with ramen noodles and some even have the seasoning.

    I am pretty sure nobody is actually eating these noodles (because I mean, your body is soaking in the water with them) but who the heck knows!

    bleach.temple

    Could it be a joke? A prank? A science experiment? Or is there some unknown beauty reason, like makes your skin feel amazing or something?

    madredenoche

    I am still trying to figure why anyone would want to waste perfectly good Ramen noodles…

    myfancyramen

    But I guess if you are really into this sort of thing, you could give it a go.

    opalandonyx.co

    Just run your bath like normal and throw in several packages of Ramen Noodles.

    margauxpepper

    Fair warning – I am sure this sucks to clean out. Like I don’t think you want this going down your drain. YIKES!

  • ‘Ramen Bombs’ Are The New Hot Food Trend and Count Me In!

    ‘Ramen Bombs’ Are The New Hot Food Trend and Count Me In!

    I don’t care how old or rich I get, I will never not like Ramen.

    Those delicious noodles can be made in minutes and eaten so many different ways. Plus, they are like $.20 a package so you really can’t go wrong.

    Well, some genius on TikTok decided to really up the Ramen game by making Ramen Bombs and OMG I need these in my life!

    Remember those Hot Cocoa Bombs that everyone was obsessed with around the holidays? Who am I kidding, we are still obsessed.

    Anyways, these are just like that but made with Ramen Noodles and a few other mix-in’s to create the perfect bowl of Ramen noodles!

    Foodiemy TikTok

    In the video, you can see the person place the Ramen Bomb inside of a bowl.

    Foodiemy TikTok

    Then comes the fun part, it looks like the pour boiling hot water on top and the bomb begins to melt revealing the ramen noodles inside!

    Foodiemy TikTok

    Now nobody knows exactly how to make the bomb shell but some people have theories.

    It could be ice, coconut oil, frozen broth, rice starch – – your guess is as good as ours.

    Foodiemy TikTok

    Nonetheless, this is a GENIUS idea and I am totally going to try to recreate it.

    It looks so good and like the perfect single serving of ramen!

    @foodie

    I can’t stop watching this ramen bomb. Turn on your speaker 😳 #foodie #ramen #fyp #viral

  • JoJo Siwa Just Revealed She Has A Girlfriend and I’m So Happy For Her

    JoJo Siwa Just Revealed She Has A Girlfriend and I’m So Happy For Her

    Ahhh you guys! I am loving JoJo Siwa right now.

    A few weeks ago she came out as gay and addressed what that meant to her fans. Which at the time, she didn’t know what to call herself.

    JoJo Siwa Twitter

    During one of her videos on Instagram she discussed that if she were to be in a relationship with a guy then great and if it was with a great then great.

    I totally agreed!

    Well, now she has revealed that she officially is taken and has a girlfriend!! I am so happy for her!

    She talked about it Wednesday night on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

    JoJo says working on a TikTok at the “Pride House” got her thinking about outing herself, and she decided to just go for it … with some extra encouragement from her girlfriend.

    She says she was FaceTiming with her girlfriend when she posted that photo one Twitter (the one where she’s wearing the “Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever.”) t-shirt — and then went right back talking to her like it was no big deal.

    You can watch the video from last night below.

    You can also watch the Dance Battle between JoJo and Jimmy below.

    I love TikTok more and more.

    People are just so dang clever!

    So, last night I was browsing TikTok before bed and BAM up pops a video teaching me that You Can Record and Take Pictures At The Same Time On Your iPhone!

    Did you know this?! Because I did not.

    I cannot tell you how many times my husband and I would be recording our kids and wish we could take pics too. And we’ve been able to this entire time without knowing it!

    Here’s How You Can Record and Take Pictures At The Same Time On Your iPhone

    First, open your camera and click “Video”.

    Then hold the red record button and swipe right.

    The screen will look like this:

    Now, it will already be recording and that white round button to the right, is what you will click to take a phone while you are recording.

    Photo taken on iPhone while also recording.

    Genius, right?

  • $1400 Stimulus Checks Have Been Fast Tracked. Here’s What That Means.

    $1400 Stimulus Checks Have Been Fast Tracked. Here’s What That Means.

    In case you weren’t aware, we are STILL in a pandemic. *Sigh*

    Of course, that means that so many people are still struggling financially and it seems like things are once again taking a long time to get help to those who need it.

    Well, things *may* be looking up because as of yesterday, the next $1,400 stimulus checks have been fast tracked. Here’s exactly what that means.

    On Tuesday, February 2nd, Senate Democrats decided to move forward with President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus plan with or without Republican support. This is referred to as a “Fast Track”.

    This fast track means the Democrats can pass the plan with a simple majority (which requires just more votes than the other), rather than a super-majority (which requires at least 60 votes).

    It also avoids the filibuster process, which is a great thing because it means the bill won’t be killed causing further delays.

    Tomorrow, Thursday, February 4 is the big day when voting will happen and ultimately will decide everything.

    If the Democrats are successful, this means that the $1.9 trillion stimulus package, which includes $1,400 stimulus checks, expanded funding for schools and frontline workers, public health works program which would give over 100,000 people jobs, an expanded child tax credit, and more could be approved by February 16.

    In the end, that means we could see the $1,400 stimulus checks being sent by the end of February which is the best possible outcome at this point.

    So, cross your fingers, toes and anything else that the voting goes well tomorrow!

  • People Are Freaking Out That Meghan Markle’s Name Isn’t On Archie’s Birth Certificate

    People Are Freaking Out That Meghan Markle’s Name Isn’t On Archie’s Birth Certificate

    If you needed a daily dose of drama, this is it!

    So, people are freaking out because apparently, Meghan Markle’s Name Isn’t On Archie’s Birth Certificate!

    Now, if you didn’t know, Archie is her son who she shares with Prince Harry or I guess, Harry now since they dropped their royal titles.

    So, why wouldn’t she be on his birth certificate?

    Well, this is where it gets juicy…

    Apparently, her name was once on his birth certificate but has since been changed then removed!!

    The Sun

    The Sun reported that Archie’s birth certificate initially referred to Meghan Markle as “Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex” but a few weeks later, “Rachel Meghan” was removed, leaving just the title “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.”

    Could it be that the Royal Family is behind this because her and Harry left the royal family?

    One thing is for sure, people are freaking out over it!

    https://twitter.com/AllSussextweets/status/1356633664365490176

    An official statement from a spokeswoman for Meghan says that the name removal (and the rumors surrounding it) are wild and basically mean nothing.

    The change is not representative of any larger issues. In fact, the statement said the change wasn’t dictated by Markle at all.

    “The change of name on public documents in 2019 was dictated by The Palace, as confirmed by documents from senior Palace officials,” the statement reads. “This was not requested by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex nor by The Duke of Sussex. To see this U.K. tabloid and their carnival of so-called ‘experts’…whip this into a calculated family ‘snub’ and suggest that she would oddly want to be nameless on her child’s birth certificate…would be laughable were it not offensive.”

    So, maybe there isn’t family drama after all? Either way, it was done and it has been confirmed, nobody really knows why though.

    I mean, who really knows what happened. But I do find it strange her name has been changed several times on his birth certificate.

  • Google’s New Tool Will Help You Find Vaccination Sites Near You

    If you are among those that are planning on getting the COVID vaccine but have no clue where to go, listen up!

    I am right there with you – my doctor just keeps telling me to check the State’s Health Department website for updates.

    But ya know, I wish there was something easier to determine where to get my vaccine.

    Well, sounds like I am not the only one because Google created a new tool to help those of us that want vaccines, get vaccines.

    Google is launching a new tool and will provide more than $150 million to promote vaccine education and equitable distribution making it easier to find locally relevant information, including when and where to get the vaccine.

    Additionally, Google plans to open spaces to serve as vaccination sites as needed. 

    Google Search and Maps will roll out the vaccine finder “in the coming weeks” for residents in Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

    The tool will also list appointment details, if the vaccine is limited to certain groups, and if a drive-through is available.

    It will use information from government agencies, pharmacies and VaccineFinder.org.

    A full rollout of this service in other states and countries will be available at a later time.

    This is such a great idea and it will give people access to the information they need when they seek it.

    You can read more about this Google Vaccine Finder Here.
