Guess what?!

It is National Emoji Day! 

That’s right! Now you, too, have an excuse to use emojis all day and all night long.

I mean, this is serious business. You can participate in emoji fun all day today.

• Vote: You can vote on the next Bitmoji to be released. Choose from some of the most requested emojis including Taco, Unicorn, Hotdog, Selfie, and Bacon! Simply tweet your vote to BitmojiApp with the #MyBitmoji hashtag (Bacon @BitmojiApp #MyBitmoji).
• Profile picture: Change your profile picture to your favorite Bitmoji. All you have to do is download the app (iOS, Android), create your avatar, browse through the library of stickers, choose your favorite, and you’re done!

Go have fun and then come back for Gin and Topics.

5. Hula Hooping Hailey. This just makes me laugh! She’s trying sooooo hard!

4. Doggy Daycare. Oh, Amy Schumer. You never disappoint. This is “filmed” at drop-off doggy daycare. Best quote: “I didn’t get my dog vaccinated because Jenny McCarthy said it would cause pawtism.”

3. Funny Animal Dubbing. These make me laugh! There is an entire series and they are hilarious. Talking animals = me in fits of giggles. Now if I could get a chimpanzee to walk down the street, holding my hand, while we both ate ice cream cones, my life would be complete.

2. Dog Front Flip. Do it again! Do it again! Do it again!

1. Faceketball with Lebron James. I will preface this by saying I am not a Lebron James fan (sorry, Cleveland friends!). But this is H-I-larious! I love the concept, I love how James sat down so Jimmy could reach him (and Jimmy is not a short man). I love how he’s not as good at this as he is at real basketball. And I loved the dunk contest. Very, very funny!

Have a great weekend!
