What Are Your Favorite Emojis?

favorite emojisHere’s a fun question: What are your favorite emojis?? I ask because yesterday was #WorldEmojiDay!!! Oh, what a wonderful holiday, don’t you think?? It’s a celebration of all fun things in our tech-obsessed lives in 2017.

I mean, emojis are everywhere these days! All the cool kids are using them on their Snapchats (stay tuned for a future post on my adventures with that!) and their photo filters and their Instagrams. So if you think about, anyone who’s anyone embraces this emoji trend! Sooner or later, everyone becomes an emoji-loving fanatic.

Plus, it’s perfect for uber busy people like me — you know, the ones who are always zipping off to one place or another. We don’t even have to formulate complete, coherent thoughts anymore! Just choose the cute picture that corresponds to your soul and hit send! In a way, I guess we have emojis to thank for giving us more time in life to do the important things — like snap more photos to put more emojis on! Ahhh, the circle of life. Isn’t it grand?? Everything comes back around!

All this emoji talk also got me thinking: What are your most-used emojis? You can tell a lot about a person by what emojis they use. For example, if someone is overly fond of the knife emoji, I’m pretty sure that’s not someone you’d want to be hanging out with on the regular.

favorite emojisSo, here’s a challenge for you: Take a screenshot of your most-used emojis and post it in the comments! That’s mine, above, full of all the usual suspects — you know, the hearts and glitter and sparkly stars and happy-faced emojis. Now all they need is a flower crown emoji — get on that, Apple iPhone! Anyway, can’t wait to see what lovely emojis represent YOU… xoxo

P.S. What are your favorite apps??

5 Questions For the New Ken Dolls

New Ken DollsHave you heard the news? There’s a new Ken in town. Well, 15 new Ken dolls, to be exact. And they’re out and about TODAY! Mattel just released a new line of Barbie’s boyfriend — a more diverse, hip Ken for the 2017 set, complete with three body types (slim, broad and original), seven skin tones and nine hairstyles (say hello to the “man bun”). Oh, and their fashion styles range from business corporate to athletic-chic.

“By continuing to expand our product line, we are redefining what a Barbie or Ken doll looks like to this generation,” said Lisa McKnight, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Barbie. “Evolving Ken was a natural evolution for the brand and allows girls to further personalize the role they want him to play in Barbie’s world.”

Whew! That’s a lot to take in, isn’t it? So much change at once and my head is starting to spin!! I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ve got a long history with the Barbie franchise. It goes all the way back to the days when my sister and I would line up all our Barbie dolls and stage elaborate fashion shows. On some level, I like to think we were even more chic than Anna Wintour sitting front row at New York Fashion Week — we were that #OnFleek… I mean, just take a look at that picture below. We were talented youngsters.

But there have always been some questions that have plagued me over the years. Honestly, I was always a bit skeptical of Ken — he was mysterious in that too-perfect way that gives off the vibe that he’s most definitely hiding something big. What exactly is his deal? Here are 5 questions I’ve always wanted to ask the plastic perfection…

What is his story?

I mean, think about it: We know virtually nothing about this guy’s backstory. What’s his history? Does he have a family? Where does he come from? For all we know, he could have mob ties. Or maybe he has ties to Russia and influenced the 2016 presidential election. Hahaha! Wouldn’t that be an interesting twist in the on-going political saga?

Does he even have a job?

Truth be told, he seems to be forever in that weird life stage where he’s still trying to find himself. He’s been everything from a surfer dude to a doctor. And this new line seems to find Ken trying on the role of a hipster millennial from Brooklyn, so what is he? Sometimes I just wish he’d pick one because the constant searching is not a pretty look; frankly, it’s just getting old.

And speaking of old…

How old is Ken?

This guy looks pretty young, if you ask me. He sort of reminds me of the dude bros you’d meet at a college fraternity bash (not that I’ve ever been to one of those parties, mind you…), so that would make him, what, in his early twenties? Nope! Guess again! Ken celebrates his — wait for it — 56th birthday this year, so obviously this guy is no spring chicken. I’m not sure whether I should hate him for that or ask him for all the secrets.

What’s up with his emotions?

This guy seems to be stuck on one emotion and, truthfully, it’s kind of a creepy one. It looks like a forced smile staring you down. Heck, add giant wig and a bright red nose and he could probably pass for a clown. That disturbs me a little.

Was Ken really Barbie’s boyfriend?

I’ve often wondered where those two stood because, frankly, their relationship could be a bit ambiguous at times. They needed to DTR as the young people say — that’s define the relationship for those not hip to the lingo. I’m definitely getting some Benson/Stabler vibes from them — you know, they’re not technically together, but there’s obviously some chemistry there. The more I think about it, maybe Ken’s emotionless expression is because he’s just as confused about things as the rest of us are.

New Ken DollsSo what will the Kens of the future look like? I’m not entirely sure, but it will be fun to watch and see, don’t you think, friends? Were you a big Barbie fan when you were young? Do you still have your collection? Any questions you’d like to ask this new Ken? xoxo

P.S. Remember Hipster Barbie??

What TV Shows Are You Binge-Watching?

what TV shows are you binge-watchingSo…what TV shows are you binge-watching these days, friends?? I thought now would be a prime time to ask since summer is coming up and, as hard as it is to believe, I tend to watch even more TV during the hot and humid months. Can you believe that? Like I always say, I take my TV viewing very, very seriously. It’s like an Olympic sporting even for me, I suppose.

what TV shows are you binge-watchingDo you think I’m joking here? Just take a look at this on-going list I’ve started! I’ve seen at least a few seasons of each of these shows, but I want to go back and finish them. Notice all the ’90s throwback love going on here — I mean, it doesn’t get much better than denim jeans and early Beverly Hills 90210, right? I’m really looking forward to just basking in some good old-fashioned nostalgia all summer long!

I’d love to know what shows you’re binge-watching lately. Do you have any recommendations for me? You know I’m always looking to add to my list!! xoxo

Meet My New Office Mascot…

Meet My New Office MascotSo this might go down in So About What I Said history as the Most Random Post of 2017 (or maybe it’s the lingering effects of my cold still getting to me…), but I wanted you to meet my new office mascot! Isn’t he cute? My mom got him in a Happy Meal last month and since then, the little guy’s just been hanging out on the kitchen table with me while I work. He’s a cute little work companion, don’t you think? The only problem? He needs a name! Thoughts?

Meet My New Office MascotAnd in other cool, random news…I GOT VERIFIED ON TWITTER!!!! It’s small, I know, and maybe not all that exciting, but I have no shame in saying that it made me incredibly happy! I may or may not have screamed when I got the confirmation email…OK, I totally screamed! A few times, actually! Follow me for lots of fun and shenanigans… #ProudDork

How are things going in your neck of the woods, friends? What cool and exciting things are happening in your life these days? I’d love to hear all the details… xoxo

Man Candy Monday.

Happy Monday, friends!! Who’s still got that stuffed-to-the-gills, post-Thanksgiving food hangover? Because seriously, I really can’t be the only one who’s slugging through this morning! For Man Candy Monday this week, I give you another under-the-radar guy. He plays that bad-boy-but-not-deep-down role perfectly on this show. His smile melts my heart. And he seems like the chilliest person EVER…

MICHAEL MALARKEY!!!!!!!!!!
