I subscribe to the “roll everything up to save space/wrinkles” philosophy, but it always presents a challenge once certain things get dirty. I’ve started using the plastic laundry bags hanging in the hotel closets as a depository for all my dirty things — sturdier than grocery bags & they usually have a drawstring…

These people should partner up with the Bloxers people from a couple weeks ago — teenage boys will be golden.

We do so many happy hours that I think they got bored. And this idea probably originated towards the END of a happy hour, but I still stand by my choice of THANKS BUT NO THANKS YOU WHACKY PEOPLE.

Oh god, my coworkers organized a group outing (all females) to Spa World and I could just not get on board. In theory, yes, I’d love to go and have no qualms about being naked in front of strangers. But with coworkers? I couldn’t fathom.

When I was fresh out of college (aka also kind of broke), I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding in the Dominican Republic. To save money, we booked a ridiculous flight path from Atlanta to Miami to Puerto Rico, where we spent the night in the PR airport before boarding a flight to punta Cana the next morning. We…

As someone who ended up in the emergency room with 3 stitches in her finger after slicing it open while cutting an avocado, this is my favorite kitchen tool ever.

That strawberry huller is legit and I use it regularly and also it's so small & only $8 so I don't feel bad about it taking up space or being a big investment or something.

One of my favorite books is “The Unthinkable: Who Survived When Disaster Strikes & Why” — goes into the psychology of how people respond to different emergency situations (and makes the best argument for taking those office fire drills seriously I've ever heard). Totally recommend!

This is awful. My teenage cousin has a tumblr dedicated mostly to the 5sos fandom and I followed her not realizing that she reblogs things EVERY FIVE SECONDS. (I ended up downloading a plugin to hide all that stuff while still being able to keep up with the other parts of her life.)

but now i legit want to see tilda swinton as jafar tho

I just got the lemony flutter one from Lush. It soaks in fairly quickly and bonus: you can use it on elbows and other dry spots if necessary.

Salt, pepper & lime juice. Mash it up and put it on toast (or crackers!)

My dermatologist helped my KP - exfoliate every shower (I use St. Ives apricot scrub), then a prescription topical gel (she gave me Atralin), and then lotion of choice. It took a couple weeks and it’s definitely not invisible (thanks, scReinf!) but my arms are A LOT smoother than they’ve ever been. Bonus that the…

“Would I move this halfway across the country if I needed to?”

Ok yes definitely agreed. I hope Sansa’s storyline peaks this season and we’re not left with her being abused at Winterfell at the end of it all. I’m not sure the speed/direction it’s going now that they’ve shifted that storyline from the books. Also, I’m really looking forward to seeing Cersei’s storyline play out…

I stopped caring about Jon Snow for a while too, until I read the R+L=J fan theory. Now I care a lot more. (Google if you don’t know it, but I didn’t want to spoil it in case you’re not someone who likes to speculate about what GRRM is doing right now.)

So I actually got to watch the pilot of Quantico and guys... this show was made for me. As a Criminal Minds / Scandal / How to Get Away With Murder / Law & Order: SVU junkie, I couldn’t ask for more. The cast is super diverse, the women are really interesting, and EVERYONE is hiding something. They splice back & forth…

There’s an Oregon lottery billboard right outside my building so I think about this a lot, actually. And I’ve decided that I would be a really boring rich person. I don’t even need to be filthy rich, I just want to be loaded enough that I can easily afford cashmere loungewear. Like, if I’m having a marathon Netflix…

I assume he thought I would see how great it was and change my mind :) Luckily he stopped texting me after that so I only had to deal with waking up & seeing that image through blurry eyes. Though, admittedly, I do still have the text somewhere in my phone. It’s a great party trick and is the perfect opportunity to…

“Well if we’re never going to see each other again, I thought I’d leave you with this.”
