Stuff & Things 4/16

by Joey | Apr 16, 2015 | Throwback

>> I think sometimes I trust youtube too much.  I really enjoy daily vlogs (when I have the time to watch them), but I do still watch a few beauty gurus (I hate that word, fyi).  Ingrid (you know, missglamorazzi) did an All Things Hair video a while back featuring the Suave volumizing mousse.  AND she claimed she let her hair air dry and that the mousse didn’t leave any kind of residue.  Uhm.  I’m calling BS on that.  I used it on Tuesday, blew my hair dry, and ended up just putting it in a ponytail because HOLY BUILD UP.  And I used way less than than the recommended amount.  It probably would be okay to use for an event where I’m curling my hair and don’t intend to run my fingers through it at all, but for a daily use thing?  Ew, no.

>> You guys?  I’m off the running train and I hate it.  I can’t seem to convince myself to get out of bed to run.  I get up, sure.  But actually getting out to run?  My body laughs at me saying yeah, no woman.  we need coffee first to function.  sorry.  I think I’m going to have to start re-evaluating and just stick with what works.  I was always an evening runner.  I think an evening runner I’ll always be. And I’ll just have to make it work.

>> I mentioned earlier this week that my love affair with Netflix is being compromised.  By the time I have a few moments to finally hang out, I’m so tired I end up falling asleep.  The good news is that I’m not flying through my favorite shows.  I’m able to watch maaaaaybe half an episode before I realize I’m falling asleep.  Lately, it’s been season six of Drop Dead Diva.  This show is probably the dumbest thing ever but I just absolutely love the characters so much.  And I have to say… this season isn’t at all what I was expecting and I’M LOVING IT!

>> I got mega sunburned on Saturday.  Rookie mistake.  I was out for way too long and didn’t sunscreen up nearly enough.  I have, however, found a pretty good remedy for the whole sunburn thing.  I mixed a healthy portion of coconut oil in with my moisturizer and kept myself lathered up!  I also threw some aloe on for good measure, but the the lotion/coconut oil mixture really seemed to do the trick!  My neighbor saw me the next day and she was like how is your sunburn already gone?!  Magic, people.

>> It’s been raining here all week.  There’s really no reason for me to tell you that except that…it’s been raining all week.  A day of rain, okay.  Two days, maybe I can handle that.  But an entire week of rain?  I’m over it.  {activate sarcasm font} my husband’s favorite phrase.  


>> Oh.  I’ve hardly read since we moved.  The Girl On The Train just became available on my wait list and now I’m panicking that I won’t be able to read it in time.  I’m thinking I’ll have to dedicate most of my weekend to it.  I’m totally okay with that.
