3 Things to Keep You Distracted From Inauguration Day Coverage

Let’s make January 20 great again.

Today’s the day we say our final goodbyes to our beloved President Barrack Obama and make way for President-elect Donald Trump. For what might be a somber day for a lot of Americans, we’ve rounded some fun distractions to chase away the Inauguration Day blues. 

  1. FRE Customs Flowerbomb Collection

    Online shopping is always a good distraction and usually results in hours locked into the matrix. These custom Air Force 1s and Yeezys adorned with fabulous floral embroidery drop today on Freofficial.com. There’s a Stan Smith x Adidas version available, too! These babies are limited edition, so get them while supplies last.

  2. National Cheese Lover's Day

    Now here’s something to celebrate! Gouda, brie, feta or good old American cheese — you can have whatever you like at your local Whole Foods. The supermarket giant will be giving out FREE samples of cheeses of all varieties at stores nationwide.

  3. Netflix's Barry

    If you’re staying home from work today in silent protest of our new leader, then a Netflix marathon is just what you need in your life during these trying times. Our suggestion? Barry — a Netflix original highlighting Barack Obama's time at Columbia University in 1981. Grab your blankie, your favorite guilty-pleasure snack (perhaps cheese? See No. 2) and a box of tissues, just in case you get a little teary-eyed watching this depiction of our 44th president.
