🚨 personal news: As my 16-mo.-old spends a couple days at her grandparents, I’ve been accepted to enroll in her daycare in her place. Baby Twitter: What snacks should I throw to the floor? What puzzles should I lick? Whose shoes should I point to and giggle at?

Shein adds ~3 items of clothing to its site every single minute every day all year. One of a Met Gala's worth of curiosities in this @vauhinivara story.
