Bitmojis

Last year, my roommate told me about an app called Bitmoji that lets you personalize a set of emoji to resemble yourself.

Bitmoji, and the company behind it - Bitstrips - has grown in popularity. Snapchat bought Bitstrips earlier this year for around $100 million, and this week, Snapchat announced you can now use Bitmoji within the app.

After my roommate's recommendation, I immediately downloaded Bitmoji to try it out. The app is available for both iPhone and Android.

I was tickled by how much they look like me - and the variety of emotions they represent. Check it out.
