15 Reasons Brunch is the Absolute Best

1. You can be ‘messy-cute’
   

   Messy cute is the art of looking like you just rolled out of bed, but you actually put a lot of strategic work into looking casual. And every girl loves the messy-cute look.

2. There are bottomless mimosas and Bloody Mary bars

   When Sunday brunch rolls around you get to pay $10 for bottomless mimosas. The Sunday scaries are frightening as is, so whoever thought of offering bottomless mimosas to conquer the scares is the tits.

3. It’s another excuse to hang with your gal pals

   In my opinion, the work week is the most depressing, because you hardly get to hang with your gal pals and do fun, social things. Brunch is the best way to get that last QT with your babes before the work week kicks in.

4. Chicken n’ waffles

   So first off – whoever thought of this AHMAZING meal needs to be this year’s president (bye Trump and Hilz). Secondly, how can you not love a meal that combines warmy, crispy, fried chicken with a sweet, syrupy bite of warm waffles. my stomach’s growling now…k, bye.

5. It makes you feel like you can conquer the day

   Brunch empowers me to do big things (for like…an hour or two). After I have a half carafe of mimosas, I have more ambition than I’ve ever possessed in my life. I start planning dinner parties, thinking about meal planning for the week, and de-clutter my iPhone camera roll. While this is short lived, it just confirms why brunch should be an every day thing — we’d all get so much more accomplished.

6. You can take a cute Instagram

   Y’all. My cutest pictures in my life have ooccurred at brunch. Whether you’re taking a picture of your ridiculously good looking plate *cue the chicken n’ waffles* or you’re wearing an over-sized floppy hat, trendy sunnies, and have your second mimosa glass in hand, brunch always makes for a great Insta pic. Plus you’ll get lots of likes, since we all know everyone stalks the Insta feed on Sunday afternoons.

7. There are t-shirts made specifically for brunch — and you get to debut these at brunch

   Ladies — don’t you all own one or two t shirts that you can only wear to brunch? (Like my “All I Want is Harry Styles & Pizza,” shirt or the “Brunch, Mimosa, Repeat,” and the “Resting Brunch Face” shirts. Brunch gives you the best excuse to buy that little $15 graphic tank that you’ll never wear anywhere else, or maybe ever again.

8. You can sleep in

   Brunch is obvi made for people that like to sleep in. Think about it – most breakfast places stop serving breakfast and switch to lunch around 11:00 am. Is that some kind of sick joke? Nobody wants to get up, get dressed cute, and zombie out over some eggs and bacon. Brunch lets you get your beauty rest, put on a messy-cute look, and still be on time when you arrive at 11:00.

9. It’s socially acceptable to wear sunglasses throughout the entire meal

   Brunch can be hard sometimes. It is not for the weary. It is for those people who power through the long weekend, endure that late Saturday night, and still manage to throw on clothes to get some food in their bellies. So naturally, it makes sense that true brunchers wear their sunglasses throughout the entire meal (indoor or outdoor).

10. You get to laugh with your friends about the night before and look at Snapchat stories/late night texts

    At every single brunch, me and my friends resemble a pack of middle school girls, giggling about the weekend happs and carefully reviewing and critiquing all 4 minutes and 23 seconds of our Snapchat stories. This is a good practice to make, as it fights off the Sunday scaries for as long as possible.

11. The Instagram captions

    I got 99 problems, but a brunch aint one. I love you the mimosta. I love you a brunch. You can’t sip with us. Don’t go bacon my heart. Need I go on?

 

Happy brunching,
