The rise of pet influencers is quite possibly one of the greatest things to come out of social media, at least IMO. I mean, who doesn’t want to see cute animals everyday?
With the freedom for connection provided by apps like TikTok and Instagram, pet owners have a totally new forum to share the lives of their favorite critters. This niche has exploded, unveiling a world of influencing focused around the lives of these pets, and TBH we’re not mad about it.
Thus, in honor of National Pet Day we *had* to honor our furry friends (and virtual furry friends) by sharing some of our fave pet-fluencers across social media.
For black-lab lovers, we recommend watching the daily shenanigans of Clarence, or King C, as he’s better known. Follow our fave black lab-in-a-bowtie on TikTok @jimmyrams and @jimmyandclarence on Instagram.
Woofy is a Supermutt with the charisma of George Clooney, and the looks to replace Margot Robbie in Barbie. Basically, he’s the whole package. Follow Woofy on Instagram and TikTok at @woofyandjenna.
Sterling and Colin are your classic Golden Retrievers turned puppy school dropouts, constantly causing loads of chaos. Follow the duo @lifeofsterlingnewton on Instagram, TikTok and Youtube.
Now this pup is probably the best trained in the bunch. Suki is a show Cocker Spaniel, and she will steal your heart and your attention. Follow Suki on Tiktok @suki_the_spaniel and on Instagram at @suki_thespaniel.
Minnie and Millie are Dalmatian sisters who definitely like to test their big sister Bella, a Golden Retriever, and Bengal cat Elsa. Follow the sisters @minnienmillie on Instagram and TikTok.
Puppet is a quirky pug with a whole lot of personality. Follow Puppet on TikTok at @puppetpug.
Chilaquil, the bilingual golden, is one of the cutest pups on TikTok, discussing his adventures from Toronto to Mexico with his pawrents. Follow Chilaquil on TikTok at @goldenchilaquil.
And of course we couldn't forget our favorite kitties.
Honey is an Australian cat chef and fashionista, serving up the best dishes (and looks) on the daily. Follow Princess @princesshoneybellex on TikTok, and @princesshoneybelle on Instagram.
IMO Gus is the cutest cat on TikTok. I mean, just look at the way he gets off the bed. Follow Gus @gusseybussey on TikTok.
Of course we couldn’t forget the king of late night zoomies, Nimbus. Follow this siberian kitty on Instagram and TikTok at @nimbus_siberian.
If traditional pets aren't your thing, there is certainly a pet-fluencer to suit your fancy.
Take Thumbelina, for instance. Thumbelina was rescued by wildlife rehab specialists after her mom abandoned her, and has since enjoyed the finer things in life. Follow Thumbelina on Instagram and TikTok at @little_thumbelina_girl.
Now this account is a little different than the rest. Raccoon Drive Thru follows a woman feeding raccoons at her house. Follow Racoon Drive Thru on TikTok at @theracoondrivethru.
We are screaming from all the cuteness! BRB while we take a break to scroll through more of pet TikTok.

Trader Joe’s loves to keep us on our toes when it comes to their new arrivals. We’re constantly monitoring the aisles to discover all the new TJ’s sweet treats and savory snacks they launch – and these 7 new picks for January 2025 are not to be missed! All of these Trader Joe’s products will run you less than $5, which only makes sealing the deal on your grocery bill easier.
From delicious dips to a very enticing new frozen meal, these are the 7 best new Trader Joe’s finds you absolutely need to try in January 2025.
Trader Joe's
1. Teensy Candy Bars
These tiny little candy bar bites ($2.99) resemble Snickers in the best way possible: layers of nougat, caramel, and peanuts are enveloped in a delicious chocolate coating for maximum snackage. We're gonna have to resist eating the whole bag! TJ's even suggests using these bits as decoration for other desserts, like sprinkling some on a scoop of ice cream or baking them into some cookies.
Trader Joe's
2. Olive Tapenade Hummus
Trader Joe's array of dips is simply too good to resist, and this newcomer hummus ($3.49) is no exception! It's a tub of "smooth and nutty" hummus topped with a tapenade comprised of black olives, manzanilla olives, capers, and olive oil to give it a salty effect. It's gonna taste so great as a dip for crackers or as a spread on a Mediterranean pita wrap.
Trader Joe's
3. Organic Concord Grape Jelly
This squeezable grape jelly ($3.49) is nothing short of nostalgic. Trader Joe's says it's "super smooth, joyously juicy, and potently purple," which immediately has us sold on making PB&Js every day now.
Trader Joe's
4. Spicy Chicken Nuggets
Oh, yeah. Bring on the spice with these spicy nuggs ($3.99) that make the perfect easy meal no matter the time of day! Made from all-natural chicken breast and rib meat, breaded with wheat, rice and corn flours, then covered in hot sauce and lightly fried, TJ's has their texture down to a tee. You can easily cook 'em in the air fryer, oven, or microwave before chowing down!
Trader Joe's
5. Crispy Potato & Poblano Pepper Tacos
These halved and fried frozen tacos ($4.99) will totally crush your Taco Bell cravings, since they come together super quickly and contain flavors with mind-blowing authenticity! Each taco is filled with a blend of seasoned mashed potatoes and some "ever-so- slightly spicy" poblano peppers that'll work so well with any dipping sauce, from TJ's salsa to their creamy Jalapeño Sauce.
Trader Joe's
6. Strawberry Mini Hold The Cone!
Just in time for Valentine's Day, Trader Joe's is debuting a new flavor ($3.99) of their classic Hold The Cone! frozen dessert: strawberry! These tiny, chocolate-covered cones are lined with even more "rich" chocolate on the inside, then packed with strawberry ice cream, which TJ's says is crafted with plenty of strawberry purée.
Trader Joe's
7. Caesar Salad Dip
Trader Joe's shoppers have said this new Caesar Salad Dip ($3.69) makes a perfect girl dinner addition– which, if you get it, you get it! The tub starts with a "creamy" base that's then loaded up with Caesar-seasoned sour cream, mayo, anchovy paste, Parmesan, and finely shredded Romaine for the crunch. It's best enjoyed with crackers or veggie sticks to dip, but you could also smatter fried chicken or seared steak in it for some ahh-mazing flavor!

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner spent New Years Eve together, and based on the giant ring Dua's wearing on THAT finger, it looks like they could be spending the rest of their lives together too! This celebrity couple were first spotted together in January 2024, and immediately became my favorite couple, like, ever. Engagement rumors were flying by the end of the year, and thanks to Dua Lipa's latest Instagram posts, the internet is more convinced than ever that these two will be headed down the aisle soon.
Here's everything we know about those Dua Lipa and Callum Turner engagement rumors.
Dua Lipa's been wearing a gorgeous ring on THAT finger since Christmas.
In a post celebrating the holidays, Dua Lipa posted a roundup of photos — led by a shot of her wearing a sherpa jacket and reindeer antlers. But as fun as her outfit is, the internet immediately focused on another detail: her new ring. It appears to be a diamond on a chunky gold band, and if you ask me, the ring's modern, glam look is the perfect vibe for the "Houdini" singer.
"THE RING," one user commented, while another user said, "ENGAGED VIBESSSSSSSSSS," under another end-of-year post.
And when Dua Lipa finally posted photos from her epic New Year's Eve celebration on January 3, a third user commented, "We all still waiting to see the 💍." TLDR; the singer's fans really want to know if she's engaged! But if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that this couple won't tell us unless they want to. And I'm here for it!
And Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are totally "mad about each other."
Dua Lipa and Callum Turner keep their relationship pretty private (aside from some very cute walks), but according to one Page Six source, they've been "mad about each other" from the start. And it's clear because these two can't keep their hands off each other!
"Dua and Callum are so in love and know this is forever," a source told The Sun in December 2024. “They are engaged and couldn’t be happier. Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally and this is the cherry on the cake."
"Callum is such a solid support for Dua and they make a wonderful couple," the source continues. "Their family and friends are so happy. It’s been an amazing Christmas for them.”
Stay tuned for the latest news on Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's potential engagement, and read up on Tom Holland and Zendaya's engagement!
