I am always reading how if you have a blog, you should have a link roundup every so often, sharing your favorite things you’ve found on the internet lately. So here’s what I’ve been reading. Enjoy!

Because who doesn’t need a way (or 10) to rationalize buying tickets to the NKOTB, 98 Degrees, and Boyz II Men tour?

Try answering these questions instead of, “What’s your passion in life?”

If cheese is in the title of the recipe, it is probably delicious.

Just one more reason to have that glass of wine after work.

Now you know why people might be getting mad at your for your texts.

I should probably get paid to rep this company because I have converted so many people to this kind of sheets.  Only get the sateen, not the jersey knit.

You might be really shallow if you’re happy, or leading a meaningful life if you’re stressed. Or you might find both in happimeaningness.

I want nearly everything he makes, but I am pretty sure my life would seriously improve if I had this ring and these earrings.

I prefer to take my life lessons from hip hop songs, you?

If you’re thinking about shaving your head, you can look to these women for inspiration.

Just when you thought you had the most annoying coworkers in the world. Turns out someone else does.

Jennifer Lawrence is America’s Sweetheart, but why is everyone hating on Anne Hathaway? It’s all explained here.

Now you know why ginger ale settles your stomach.

What have you read lately that sparked your interest?

If you already loved the Italian luxury loafers by Tod’s for casual wear, and driving, get ready to take these slip-ons to the next level with fully customizable gems made by special order. Each pair is hand crafted, with stones sewn on individually in 6 shapes to coordinate with the color of the calfskin you choose. The ones pictured here are the fluorescent version from the February Issue of Harper’s Bazaar. They are sure to dazzle, and will upgrade any outfit from blah to bling.

Ok New Yorkers, I know we are all too busy and important to stop and stand still for 3-4 whole minutes in a row while waiting to cross the street, and I like jay walking just as much as the next city dweller, but let’s all stop taking our lives in our hands. Just today I have seen over 10 people dash in front of oncoming traffic in order to make it across to the other side a little more quickly. Then those same people walked so slowly I passed them on the sidewalk after waiting for the light to change. It just doesn’t make any sense. Then during rush hour, for some reason, it gets a whole lot worse. Whole packs of people inch closer and closer to the road only to spaz out and run across the street narrowly dodging a speeding cab. That business is how people die, and I would prefer not to see someone get killed on my way home from work because they were in a hurry.

Then there is the opposite problem – the people who, despite the FACT that they are on a busy street, meander 4-wide with their coworkers to their favorite lunch spot. While it may be just 10 feet from the front door of your office building, other people would like to use the sidewalk too, and they don’t want to move at the pace of a newborn baby sloth. So, get outta my way! Just don’t get hit by a car while you’re doing it. Ok, thanks.

So obviously I will be begging my book club to read it this month. It’s called Manology, and it promises to reveal the secrets of your man’s mind. While I haven’t read it yet, so I can’t fully comment, I will just say this. A book about how to be a hip hop mogul full of inspiring 160 character quotes from Rev, sure. A book about how to look pretty, while crooning to your lady from Tyrese, or even notes on how awesome it was to star in a Fast and the Furious movie, that I would expect. Still, I can’t resist a piece of hot literature from two of my favorite pop culture icons, and will be putting this on my must read list.

If you ever find yourself standing in the liquor store, pondering which bottle of wine to buy, trying to remember what that delicious bottle you had with dinner was called. Well, now there’s an app for that. Vivino lets you scan the labels of wines you like, and keep a log of the grapes that caught your fancy while also viewing your friends tastes. No more having to phone a friend for help. You can rate it from zero to four stars, while it tracks the winery, region, country of origin, and grapes used to make it. The app will even offer up serving temperatures, give you tasting notes, and food pairings. It’s the sommelier best friend you never had. Peruse ratings from other users, and add personal notes to remind yourself of when you drank it. No more losing track of wines you like just because you are a little tipsy at the bottom of the bottle.

Only in New York City, where anything can be trendy and the most mundane thing becomes a designer item, can the humble oat make up the basis of an entire menu. Oatmeals in Greenwich village is dedicated to all things oat, simultaneously reinventing the old favorite, while emphasizing it as a health choice. It offers comfortable favorites like brown sugar cinnamon raisin, or peanut butter and banana. At the same time, it highlights more adventurous offerings.

The savory list boasts variety like The Cheese Plate featuring Manchego cheese, dried figs, honey and walnuts, or the Bacon Pumpkin bowl. There are breakfast oatmeals, salty dinner oatmeals, and dessert oatmeals. If you’re not in the mood for a steaming bowl of the stuff, try their oatmeal cookies, sandwiches on oatmeal bread, or have a macchiato with some oatmeal biscotti.

If you’re not in NYC, you can take the inspiration, and jazz up your oatmeal at home. The February issue of Self magazine recommends adding nonfat plain Greek yougurt, pomegranate seeds, dark chocolate chips, honey and chia seeds.
