via hercampus.com 2016 is complete bullshit! There, I said it. I just learned that Carrie Fisher, AKA Princess Leia, has been taken to the apparently huge party in the sky. She had a massive heart attack on a flight and never recovered. I'm so freaking sad and I am totally pissed at 2016. Look, we get it. You are a shit year, but did you have to take Carrie too? Damn you, 2016. Damn you. via wKwiz

Please, stop 2016. You have taken way too many people. Now George?! Come on. Please take a moment to listen to our send off for George.  

The holidays are upon us, and sometimes it feels like you can feel the full weight of them on your damn chest. It's okay to feel a bit blue around the holidays. It happens to a lot of people, including myself, but I have learned a few things along the way to help quell the holiday doldrums. Check out a few tips to help you along the way through this season at our new Soundcloud - Freaky Flamingo Finds stream or click the player below.  

Since we are a huge fan of NPR and radio stories, we figured we would try our hand in some of this fun for your ear holes. Take a listen to our first attempt at a fun opinion piece about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and how much we love having a strong female lead. We plan to do more of these, so be on the look out and subscribe to us at: Soundcloud - Freaky Flamingo Finds        

Sometimes, when you get everything done with decorating for the holidays, you find that you have way more than what you planned for. It's all good, here's an idea for you for those left over ornaments that you can keep up all year round. Here's what you need Classy AF Chandelier Ornaments White Thread or Clear fishing line Scissors (DO NOT run with them)  Lighting fixure that needs some pizzaz  Time & Creativity Take those left over ornaments and tie some thread or clear fishing line to them. I threaded my thread through the top hole of the ornament and through the bottom of my lighting fixture. Gage the length you would like it (that's what she said), then tie with a double knot, and cut off the access. It's a simple idea, but a fun one. You could have some real fun with this idea. We would love to see what you come up with. Connect with us on Instagram @freakyflamingofinds and tag us in your creations. You might even win a FREE Shipping coupon c

We are super bummed that we have lost an astronaut this past week. John Glenn was the first guy in orbit, the oldest astronaut, decorated pilot, and senator. He is an icon in space exploration and we have a couple of TIME Magazines that feature this awesome astronaut. It's great to grab one of these magazines and take a look at what the world was watching during that time. We can't help but wonder, would you do the same? Would you get in a rocket, not knowing that it would totally be fine, orbit the Earth, and not freak out a lot? I can tell you, hell no! But John did it and you can scoop these up: eBay - thenamesamie - TIME Magazine - John Glenn Rest in Orbit #johnglenn 💫 #blog coming soon.
