It’s not easy being a young girl and having every media outlet and store telling you how you’re supposed to look. The fact is, girls start noticing these things around age 10 which is exactly how old this girl is in the video. After shopping for a bikini at Victoria’s Secret with friends, she didn’t feel confident and told her babysitter. Since her babysitter is an all-around bada$$ chick, she wrote a body positive song for her to make her feel better and it’s adorable!! Have a listen…

Huy Fong-brand sriracha — you know, the one everyone knows with the rooster on the bottle? — they say they have a severe shortage of chili that will back up delivery through Labor Day. Which means you should maybe stock up on an extra bottle if you can before people make a run on it.
This sounds worse than that time people made a run on toilet paper. Although — a shortage of hot sauce also sounds like the solution….to a run….on toilet paper. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Their goal is to give you food in two minutes or less! This is assuming someone isn’t in front of you ordering for six other people in the car!

A few years ago, Angie moved to Peoria and was able to convince several other family members to move there too. “It’s the most affordable mid-sized city in America” she touts.

You’ve probably at some point taken a flight at night or close to midnight. This information coming straight from an air traffic controller might make you think twice next time. He said that around 60% of control towers shut down at night. Therefore, it’s the pilot’s job to make sure that they don’t hit other planes. WUT?!!
