Ever wonder what you get the former president who has everything for Valentine’s Day?

Michelle Obama has nailed it. Wednesday morning she tweeted out a customized Valentine’s Day playlist she made for Barack on Spotify, and we’re slowly melting in a puddle of our own happy tears.

Did we mention it’s 44 tracks? 44 as in 44th President of the United States. Yep, we’re totally fine over here.

Happy #ValentinesDay to my one and only, @BarackObama. To celebrate the occasion, I’m dedicating a little Valentine’s Day playlist to you! 💝 https://t.co/aHSQAL25mH

In honor of Ellen DeGeneres’ 60th birthday Michelle Obama stopped by to give her (and the rest of America) the greatest gift of all — a reassuring pep talk. 

“I personally feel frightened. I feel like the world is a very scary place right now,” Ellen admitted to her friend and former FLOTUS.

“People are afraid but then there are people who feel good about the direction of the country, so that’s what makes this country complicated,” Michelle said. 

“We are this mosh pit of society,” she went on. “But the thing we have to remember, and the thing I learned in the eight years that I was in the White House, is that what we do every day in our lives, the good things that we do — we show empathy, we care for each other, we do have a lot in common — that’s what it means to lead with hope and not fear.” Read more…

Growing up, most of us had the one school project that required us to dress up as one of our heroes. 

Twitter user Audrey Dow (@ADCollegeOpp) shared a picture of her 9-year-old daughter dressed as her hero former First Lady Michelle Obama for a school project. Dow says her daughter was inspired by the former First Lady’s commitment to helping students go to college, and that she sees herself in her hero.

Today my 9 year old was @MichelleObama for her 3rd grade Open House project. She was inspired by her work to make sure more kids go to college & #ReachHigher . She loves that Mrs Obama is brown & has hair like hers #ISawMyself pic.twitter.com/RYmWumAdHM

Michelle Obama explains her painfully awkward reaction to Melania Trump’s gift

Michelle Obama is finally opening up about that time she accepted an inauguration present from Melania Trump and had no idea how the heck to react.

If you’re not familiar with the palpably awkward interaction, let’s refresh: To kick off the first lady handover, Melania gifted Michelle a medium-sized Tiffany & Co. box. Clearly not expecting a present, Michelle frantically looked around for a place to put the box — both a beautiful and painful sight.

A year later, in her first television interview since leaving the White House, Michelle chatted with Ellen DeGeneres about the viral gift exchange, because the world is still dying to know what was in that damn box. Read more…
