The Bowl...

I came across this hilarious video on Tracee Ellis Ross' new site.  As I was watching, I realized how I too have a healthy obsession with The Bowl!  I was just talking to my mom over the weekend about how I prefer eating out of a bowl than on a plate.  It's just more exciting to me, plus you eat less (well, that won't apply if you eat out of a huge bowl).  You see a plate is just so flat.  You can't grip or snuggle with a plate, it has to be a bowl.  I could really replace all my plates with bowls, but I kinda need them when I have folks over...right? Also, the husband loves a bowl too.  So, no argument there!  Just thought I'd share my amusement with you.  

Here's some cuties I found...

Don't you just love a bowl?

Tracee Love...

  

I know I posted about Tracee Ellis Ross' new website here and here, but I didn't watch this video until yesterday.  I had to share!   Love her, and how she wants to change the world, inspire, and touch people with googoobs of positive energy.  Love how she loves Instagram and Pinterest...me too!   I love when people are just real and let it all hang out!

Look I said "love" like four times...I think love is one of the key things to being the best person we can be along with compassion, which is very hard to master.   I see so much hatred and negativity in the social media world and beyond, and her video just gives me the warm and fuzzies.

What do you think?
