Why is that?

2 Comments

I was often mistaken as a boy when I was a child because I had my hair cut very short. I idolized my brother and wanted to copy him. Guess I was a bit of a tomboy. But I had my ears pierced! Little boys don’t! That’s not the point of this blog post.

What I don’t get is that if I leave my earrings out for a minimum of two days. TWO DAYS PEOPLE. It grows over and I have to fight to get those buggers back in my ears. I have had my ears pierced for more than half of my life. My skin heals quickly I suppose. I get that the cartilage part of your ear doesn’t heal probably ever and I had a cartilage piercing in my teens and I took it out because my ear sorta rejected it (got red and swelled up a bit), so years later I tried piercing the cartilage on the other ear and it did the same thing. I have only had those piercings in my ears for about 6 months and finally removed them to save my ear from falling off. But I can still put an earring in without trouble.

I will have to go back home tonight and fight to put my earrings in my ears and have them be sore for an hour or two because the skin on the backside of my lobe healed over. WTF. At least I didn’t need any identity theft protection!

And not to have this post all boring and about food. I think I forgot to post a photo of my purchases after I mentioned them in a blog post. So here we have’em:

Careful with enlarging them. They’re friggen huge. I decided to just copy them over from my Flickr page. I was lazy and didn’t want to resize them.

I have no shame. You all can see my newly purchased undies. Whatever. They’re microfibre and I want to spend all my monies on them. They’re so soft and comfortable, and don’t leave a panty line! I am super confused with VS’s sizing. I have everything ranging from XS to Med. in their undies. I had to return three pairs of small’s and exchange them for mediums, that still look incredibly tiny on my butt. I shop at aerie stores all the time for regular underwear and I always buy smalls and they’re always the same fit/size each time. Why fool with me, Victoria Secret… why?

Then I headed to BBW where I picked up some much needed smelly ahnd soaps. Mmmm. Can you guess what everyone’s getting for Christmas!?

4015029905_2596966932_oI picked up a christmasy/winter nail file because I’ve recently became obsessed with filing my nails rather than clipping them. 3 hand soaps (Frosted Orange Spice which I think is just a holiday scent, Wild Honey Suckle — a regular in this household, and Sea Island Cotton which has a very fresh scent) and with a purchase over $10 I got to pick up a hand cream for free. I think I picked up Sea Island Cotton. On the bottom you’ll see a lip balm (which is so retarded. I should have tried this on anything other than my hands before purchasing it. But it comes out very shimmery and GOLD on your lips. It’s a bit insane, and a total waste of $7.50. Lastly, I purchased some hand sanitizer in wild honey suckle.  I can’t stop smelling my hands after I apply this. Mmm so good. I need to go back and get some more deals before they stop having their grand opening sale (Buy 3 get 2 free, or Buy 2 get 1 free). I know my Mom would love some of their bath scents…

What are your favorite things from Bath and Body works, or even Victoria Secret PINK line?

Eat your veggies

No Comments

When making supper an I have to choose a green veg, I usually opt for the boyfriend’s favorite: broccoli, rather than my personal favorite ASPARAGUS!

However. I have a little pet  peeve with greens. I usually place the broccoli crowns chopped up nicely in a bowl with maybe 2tbsps of water, cover with saran wrap and nuke them until they’re a bit cooked but still a tiny bit crunchy. But! When I put them on the plate to serve supper they get cold within minutes. I cannot bear to eat cold broccoli and I usually pawn off my leftovers to the Boyfriends plate.

How do you keep broccoli warm longer than 2 minutes, while the mashed potatoes and carrots are still super toasty? It’s very annoying!
