You know what the best diet ever is ( Read more... )

I started receiving these emails from this company called Martin+Osa. I was trying to figure out who they were, but then I realized that I had been on the mailing list for a related retailer, American Eagle Outfitters, and that somehow, they must have figured out I have now "aged out" of their targeted market of 18- to 25-year-olds and now they ( Read more... )

I colored my own hair tonight, and I was reminded of why I don't normally do it myself:

Today, after doing some cleaning, I managed to take care of the following -- and it took me a good 45 minutes, which isn't bad:

- Tweeze brows (still need to do a bit more detail work, but at least the most obvious overgrowth is gone...and no, I do not wax my own brows because it's awkward when you have to do it standing up with with both eyes ( Read more... )

Living in this house is like living in a house constructed out of only single-pane glass. The air from outside comes through pretty easily, and I don't have any window coverings on them right now ( Read more... )

I don't think I could be a vegetarian. And by "vegetarian", I don't even mean vegan or anything drastic like that -- I just don't think I could subsist on a diet comprised of ALL vegetables and protein only in the form of soy, fish, nuts, and dairy products.

I normally hate McDonald's because I'm not a big fast food-eating, franchise-visiting kind of person, and I haven't really visited for the food (except for their iced sugar-free vanilla premium coffee!) but today, in a rush to run a work errand at the bank and trying to get back to the office before FC had to leave for her orthodontist appointment ( Read more... )

I've been trying not to spend as much money, and so I've cut out a few things from my regular upkeep...and have been doing them on my own. At first, I was like, "Good GOD...upkeep...on my own?" But I've been surprised to find that they're kinda rewarding. Like...mini-do-it-yourself projects. Except they are to make myself presentable to the ( Read more... )

This past Tuesday, I got a haircut, and I also picked up a bottle of MoroccanOil while I was there, because Jen has been using it in my hair the last few times I've gotten it done, and despite trying out different types of products to emulate what MoroccanOil does, it's never been quite the same effect ( Read more... )
