Spent yesterday assembling a a succulent display and moisturizing, because all that holiday madness left me a bit of a mess. (That planter kit, by the way, is pretty much the neatest thing EVER - they send you everything you need and you do the planting, then hang the finished project on your wall once the roots take hold. Coooool.)

 The Internet's reaction to Fox News' request that viewers share what they're "over" is just wonderful. #socialmediastrategyfail (Related: Fox News Says President Obama Plans To Ban Christmas Cookies, because obviously.) (via The New Civil Rights Movement.)

 That ear jacket thing isn't a trend I was planning on hopping on board with mostly because my life at the moment doesn't really include fabulously ornate earring-requiring outings…but I like this pair so much I'd wear them at home, with pajamas, just because.

Both of us had a rough night. 

On Christmas morning, I posted a picture of Goldie wearing one of those amber teething necklaces, and a couple of readers and I started chatting on Instagram about whether they "work." I ordered one as a Christmas present for her not really understanding what it was supposed to do (I actually thought the babies were supposed to chew on it, like they chew on that teething jewelry sold for mothers to wear), but upon Googling realized that their purpose is to emit some kind of acid that acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and pain reliever.

Hmmm.

Something new I'm trying out this year: a quick survey that'll help me learn what you liked (and didn't like) over the past year, and what you'd like to see more (and less) of in 2015. Click here to check it out (you can answer the questions anonymously if you want - and remember to submit a reader question if you have one!).

Thank you so much! Excited to hear what you have to say.

Happy Friday!

 I legit cannot stop crafting. I am also aware that RG is not a crafting blog exactly, but I can't help it: must share. So many ridiculous handmade whatsits coming up. So many!

 The look on Angelina Jolie's face when she ran into one of the Sony execs who slammed her in those leaked emails is EVERYTHING.

 You have to hear how much Pharrell made for downloads of "Happy." It's depressing, mostly because it makes you think about what musicians who are not Pharrell make. ...Can somebody fix this, please?
