Happy Friday! I'm so glad it's the weekend--on Wednesday I wound up in bed with a migraine so Thursday was mostly playing catch-up, but now I'm back on track and ready to enjoy this spring weather! It's always nice to be home again after being out of town the previous weekend, so we have a lot of sleeping in and coffee/lounging planned, but at some point we're going to check out Abari, which sounds like such a fun place (also I hear there's a French fry food truck so how bad can that be?).

Before we call it a week, I have some links I wanted to share!

To Read: 

• Bathroom law is a dumb move. You can say that again. #WeAreNotThis
• The Grammar Pep Squad. Amen. Couldn't agree more with all of this--especially the notion that we should really stop referring to anyone as "Nazis." I mean, come on.
• When You're Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression
• Elevation Church is Kind of Unsettling--and Kind of Beautiful. I tend to get obsessed with churches that end up with cult followings and this one is no different. I've been listening to podcast episodes and reading everything I can about Elevation ever since we moved here in 2014, so I was excited to see this piece on my Twitter feed. (Also I love the way Katie worded her beliefs: "be kind, love more, try to see the divine in others.")
• Penguin swims 5,000 miles every year for reunion with man who saved his life. True love!
• This is my best friend Emma and she's kind of amazing, as you can see.

To Watch/Listen: 

• Ted Cruz--A Bad Lip Reading. Hilarious.
• First Democratic Debate Highlights 2015--A Bad Lip Reading. Almost as good.
• Michael Phelps is back and he's a little scary. I can't say this ad didn't make me cry, because that would be a lie.
• I can't stop listening to this song ever since I heard it on GIRLS a few weeks ago.

Wish List: 

• I'm all about these shoes.
• This looks like the comfiest shirt ever.
• I'd love to be able to pull off either these sunglasses or these ones--which do you like more?
• I'm not much into tassels or bright colors but there's just something about these sandals.
• Can we talk about this gorgeous wrap sweater? I feel like it's perfect for the beginning of spring when the mornings are still a little chilly.

What are you guys up to this weekend? Any Easter plans? Hope you have a great one!

Being a blogger definitely has its weirdness here and there, so when Sudo asked me to try out their app and write a post about my online adventures, I couldn't help but think immediately of phone calls.

When I used to work in an office, I loved having a phone to quickly call my colleagues with a quick question or to give them an update on a project--you didn't have to write an email and wonder if they got it yet or not. What I really loved, though, was getting up and walking to their desk--it was a great way to not spend the whole day sitting, and then you got some face-to-face interaction, which I certainly don't get now working for myself and form home. 

When it comes to work now, I really only correspond with people through email, which is pretty nice, but there are times when I wish I could pick up the phone. It is super rare for me to ever hear a reader's voice, which is kind of strange if you think about it. Of course, I'll be in conference calls about collaborations and other sponsorships from time to time, but the truth is that even at its most professional, being a blogger means that a lot of the time you're talking to strangers--so I'm probably never going to have my cell phone number listed in my email signature. 

One of my favorite podcasts is Awesome Etiquette and they recently got a voicemail, which they were so excited about because listeners could call in and leave them messages. I've been thinking about that so much! I love hearing from all of you via email and sometimes I think it would be so awesome to hear some of your voices. It's so funny--we'll give out our email addresses but our phone numbers feel off limits, don't they?

Enter Sudo: a really cool mobile app that allows you to put a layer between yourself and the online world. It automatically generates safe, secure, and private personas, complete with email addresses, phone numbers, password managers, and a secure browser that doesn't track your online behaviors. Now you (and I!) can be empowered to take the web head-on.

I created an account and got to choose a phone number (with a North Carolina area code! I've never had one of those) that allows me to both make and receive calls without having to use my cell phone. I also have my own email address and can send texts as well. They're working to add functionality for single-use credit cards, which I think would be amazing because my credit card number has been stolen more times than I can count, and it's always such a hassle.

All in all, Sudo is a seriously innovative app that allows you to take control of your online identity. What do you think? Would you use Sudo? What would you do with it?

This post is brought to you in partnership with Sudo. As always, I can't thank you enough for your support as I continue to work with sponsors.

Most recently in Megan's Adventures of Shopping Her Own Closet, this light little ruffled sweater that's perfect for spring. I think I'm the worst fashion blogger of all time because everything I show you is old. "Here's the cutest sweater I own! But you can't have one, because I bought it six years ago."

In other news, I'm still wearing athletic clothes and passing them off as professional (see Lululemon tank top), but I think it's working--I cannot stress enough how perfect this tank top is. Another win for athleisure (and cleaning out your closet once every few months).
