Friday Night Links

With Memorial Day being earlier this week, why not take some time to figure out how you can help those who have served? Veteran’s Affairs has many chapters throughout the United States and you could sign up to volunteer there or donate.

Want to take a bigger step? Why not sign up for Home for Our Troops and help build mortgage-free, specially adapted homes for severely injured Veterans Post-9/11.

On Something Good

• I think I’ve found my new weekend uniform (and why I don’t love peonies).
• I’m seriously loving everything coming out of the Lou & Grey line lately. 
• Never forget to apply sunscreen! It’s actually important.
• Fancy, fancy florals are taking over my mind.
• Add “Stir” to your summer reading list.

• Oof, there have been some really fun pieces coming out of stores this spring. Here are some of my favorites:
• Old Navy

• Madewell
• Anthropologie
• The Nordstrom: Half Yearly Sale! is still going! 40% off Select Items, no code needed (through 5/31 & check out my picks)
• If you’re going to be doing any online shopping, then do yourself a favor and sign up for ebates. It’s cash back on all of your online purchases!
• Want to try out Netflix for jewelry? Why not give Rocksbox a chance? They originally gave me a free trial, but I’ve enjoyed it so much that I’ve continued to pay for the service! Sign up using the code danabff114 for your first month free.

• When a deleted scene from Mean Girls surfaces after 10 years, you watch it immediately.
• “Blondes Have More Foreign Policy Experience.” Some of my favorite actresses got together to talk about what it was like to be an actress/comedian in Hollywood.
• Why a lot of people aren’t afraid of being single, but afraid of dating. Preach.
• And on that note, if you want to catch the bouquet, maybe make sure that your boyfriend isn’t near by.
