A Pretty Dress
I'm feeling pretty uninspired in the health and beauty department right now. I have a few products to review (including Karen's Botanicals Exfoliating Cleansing Grains and Dr Bronner's Lavendar Coconut Hair Conditioner & Style Creme), but I'd like to use them a few more times before posting my thoughts and feelings about them. I could talk about more interesting articles that I've been reading, but I haven't really come across any more that are worth sharing. So, here's a dress that I want:
Modcloth has some of the cutest dresses, and I kind of need this...
Let’s talk about perfume.

photo credit: tanakawho Until a few days ago, perfume had always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I successfully traded in most of my old health and beauty products for safer (and consequently, more expensive) alternatives...but perfume was kind of a hard habit to break. I'd spray just a little on top of my clothes instead of directly on my...
Stevia Lemonade
Filed under: food and drink, guilty pleasure, homemade, physical well-being
photo credit: katerha Lemonade is probably second favorite beverage that's not very good for me (Horizon Organic Chocolate Milk is my number one favorite). I'll occasionally tell myself that it is a fruit juice since it's made from the juice of fruit, but in reality lemons don't do my body nearly enough good to make up for all the...
Zevia is pretty tasty.

I drink a lot of water. When I'm not drinking water, I'm usually drinking fruit juice, herbal tea, or black coffee. I swore off regular soda a few years ago after reading some really awful things about high fructose corn syrup (and settled of the occasional Mexican Coke from Kroger), and I've never cared for the taste of artificial sweeteners that are in Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi (or the heath risks associated with them, for that matter). I did some research on Stevia before purchasing Zevia Natural Diet Soda for the sake of making an informed decision, and...
as far from originality as I can get
I forgot about liking Married To The sea until I stumbled upon this today:
I am not trying to be an alcoholic.
Filed under: food and drink, guilty pleasure, life lessons, vanity
reasons that I am choosing to abstain from alcohol from this point on: 1) Alcohol makes you age faster (especially the sugar-filled drinks and beer that I tend to enjoy), and I have always wanted to be a hot middle-aged lady. 2) Hangovers are not fun. 3) I bet cirrhosis of the liver isn't either. 4) I am just as pleasant when I am sober, and people who disagree with that do not know me very well at all. 5) Drinking is expensive. 6) Who needs a weakened immune system with the swine flu on the loose? 7) Most importantly, alcoholism runs in my family, and I...
more like Pacey’s creek
five things I learned from watching Dawson's Creek: 1) Apparently fifteen-year-olds from New England have more expansive vocabularies than most college graduates. 2) If you cheat on your husband, then he will inevitably die in a car crash. Yes, it will be because you cheated. 3) Girls from New York move fast. 4) Dawson Leery (and, by extension, James Van Der Beek) is a putz. 5) and most importantly: I am sucked in by teen dramas that are riddled with cliches and inaccurate suggestions about how life really...
Materialism is a Blast, Revisited.
This is mostly for Jill Raises the Bar. While I did not find a dress on my last week's shopping excursion, I did find some shoes and a figure-flattering tank top. Have a look. Before buying these, I only had one pair of heels that I wore to weddings (I'm tall; don't judge me.) Now that I own two pair, the possibilities are endless. I spent more money on this shirt than I am proud of and certainly more than I am comfortable disclosing. Also, it's dry clean only. What an inconvenience. The fun thing about blogging is that it gives me a...
