A level up from the kissy face emoji! Molly likes to send this one “as a sign off to someone I’m excited to talk to again, like a “sealed with a kiss” instead of a kiss.” For femmes and other lipstick aficionados, it’s a natural fit for flirting; Vanessa notes that “I’m often wearing lipstick, so if i’m sending nudes or a thirst trap i’ll follow up with this to be like “look at my mouth.” It is hard to imagine someone’s mom sending this (or if they did, you would wish they had not), so, there’s that!

“[Babs and I] love Reformation, and La Ligne, so we were thrilled about this collaboration. Reformation has really cut a new mold for sustainability in affordable fashion; they’re all about green building infrastructure and on-the-job training opportunities. And La Ligne, which we’ve been fans of since the beginning in 2016, is female-founded and operated. I really love [the sweater in] hot-pink! This is perfect for any friend who’s not shy about color.”

A crunch-time collapse against the Kings on Thursday night revealed some still-glaring holes in the development of Los Angeles’ youthful roster

That’s happened several times in recent memory, though it’s never occurred when the same political party controls the House of Representatives, Senate and White House.

Christmas morning, Dad woke us up early. “Santa had come,” he whispered. We rushed to the living room with great anticipation. But to our dismay and disappointment there was no wagon. He brought me a pair of Red Ryder gloves, with fringe on the cuff. I’d always wanted a pair of those. He left my brother a three-blade pen knife with a yellow-bone handle. The girls all received dolls … but no wagon. We began to grouse and grumble about Santa not bringing our one gift. I mean, after all, we only asked for one gift for all of us.

You can also forgo using the printable all together and choose one of the ideas below to write on your family chalkboard or whiteboard each day. Whichever way you choose to do it, you and your little ones are bound to enjoy a fall full of fun this year.

I was listening to the radio station K-Love as I was driving to work in my 1997 barely-hanging-on Saturn station wagon (they said it would last me a year, and I got 10 out of it!). As I was pulling into the restaurant where I had recently landed a job as a server, “We want to send you home for Christmas!” sounded a man’s voice across the radio waves. My pulse quickened. I parked and grabbed a pen and sales receipt. K-Love was offering a fully paid airfare-included trip to anywhere in the USA to send the winners of their essay contest to wherever they called home. The subject was, of course, “Why should we send you?”

Authorities are still searching for the man suspected of shooting and killing a Newman, California, police officer during a traffic stop early Wednesday, and they believe the suspect is still at large in Stanislaus County, according to sheriff’s officials.

I am not alone in this newfound predilection for a style arguably best suited to the grammar-school set. In the past few years, they have been sent down the runway at Chanel (simple black in a half-up hairstyle), Tory Burch (low and loose), and Miu Miu (oversize). Bow-wearing is probably the first thing I’ve had in common with Kate Middleton, sartorially or otherwise, as she has a penchant for a low ponytail topped off with a black velvet style from J.Crew, which cost just $22. It has long since sold out, but royal emulators need not despair—Madewell sells a similar one for $9.50. On Middleton, the style is prim, polished, and preppy. Perhaps the appeal of a bow on a woman whose looks already lean oh-so-innocent is that the accessory pushes just a little too hard, suggesting that maybe, deep down, there’s something sharp in that sweetness. I’m thinking Catherine Deneuve, Audrey Hepburn, Kerry Washington, Nicole Kidman.
