FIVE THINGS WE’RE OBSESSED WITH – DEC. 19.

From dictionaries to pugs – here are the five things that we’re buzzing about this week at Minerva.

 

Merriam Webster announced that “Culture” is this year’s Word of the Year.

 

According to ShopperTrak tomorrow (aka Super Saturday) will be the biggest shopping day of the year. Bad news for the folks in our office who are still making their lists…

 

Instagram added five new filters and started the #Instapurge.

 

Facebook began auto-enhancing their images because Instagram has ruined us.

 

And lastly, this video that reminded what we really want for Christmas is food. Or a pug. We’ll take either, Santa.
