Top Tweets of the Week: Nov. 10-16


As we move through the second half of November, our thoughts start to make the shift toward winter. We welcome the first fall of precipitation that turns our world into a magical snow globe; we swap our rollerblades and bicycles for ice skates; we start making holiday wish lists. But don't get too far ahead of the season—we still get to celebrate Thanksgiving next week. Try a few of these DIY crafts, games, and charitable activities to create a new Thanksgiving traditionthis year!  

Toot, toot, too cute! For more adorably delicious birthday cake ideas, whip up one of these recipes that look like other sweet treats.

We second this sentiment—and we love the mani!

I still represent Team Messy Room.
