One bold choice: eat a Snickers
Hello future it’s that easy
make safe happen with dad, go daddy
make it happy, sorta
Empowering uncarrier, up for anything

Lexus NX, 500X
Real strength—Kim’s data stash
Best buds win at glue like a girl
Stay powerful, Doritos
Memo to the NFL: Engrave this on the Vince Lombardi Trophy whenever you get the chance.
