Have you heard of LuLaRoe? I was introduced to their crazy-comfortable leggings a few months ago, and quickly became obsessed. Then a few weeks ago they released a limited edition 4th of July line, which included dresses in this to-die-for popsicle print: Had. To. Have. It’s a direct sales company, so you buy through consultants on Facebook and Instagram. Or if you’re lucky enough …
Wubbanub Refurb: How to Replace the Pacifier
