Have you ever tried spitting a cherry pit? Let me know in the comments!
It’s Mechanical Pencil Day! Always on point and never needing a sharpener, give three clicks (no more; no less) for the writing tool that says, “Lead the way!”

Compliment Your Mirror Day! Whether it’s full-length, compact, or rearview, take a moment to look in the mirror (you handsome devil, you) and appreciate your unique beauty. To everyone out there: you’re amazing just the way you are!
And to any Lasombra vampires out there, this is true for you, too.
