Does it taste ok? I would consider trying this. I spend that week of the month downing raspberry leaf tea anyway, it would be easy to just add it in if the taste is not bad.

Moving to a cheaper area to save on rent actually doesn’t make sense a lot of the time, in my experience anyway. I live in a suburb pretty close to where I work, on the outskirts of a major city. I could technically save $200 a month moving to one of the other suburbs, but...that would turn my 10 minute one-way…

Sephora is wicked that way. I try to just limit the number of times per year I go in there because when I do, it’s almost never less than $70. Oh, well. Quality is expensive, that’s what I tell myself.

Haha, I received a similar bill for 54 cents from a medical lab recently, because apparently my insurance covered all but that tiny amount. It’s still sitting on my table at home. I don’t know why they wouldn’t just write it off at that point. I joked to my fiance that I should just mail them the change. If I pay with…

Well that is a huge bummer to discover about Idris Elba. That really makes me dislike him. Cheating on someone who’s pregnant or just recently had a baby just makes it even worse, that’s a horrible thing to do to someone.

I do that, too. Taking off a full face of makeup and doing nightly skincare can take forever but it’s very relaxing. Listening to an podcast, audio book or self help recording with my eyes closed before bed has been helpful for me, too, because it prevents me from looking at a bright screen while I’m trying to settle…

Yeah. I leave home for work at 7:40 am, and I get back home on average at 6:20 pm. If I have to stop at the grocery store, it’s closer to 7.

This comment made my afternoon. Gracias.

This is how my mother taught me to make rice. I always toast it in a bit of butter. My absolute favorite way to eat it though is to toast the rice in butter with some diced onions, then make it with chicken broth instead of water. Salt and pepper to taste. It’s so good. When I make it that way I’ve had people who tell…

That is just horrifying.

Same. Just gotta file the information away for when I get home from work!

I ship it!

I actually really like a lot of this advice. It ain’t practical for most of it but I bet it is hella fun.

Yeah, you can hear it a room over, depending on your walls. But having music or a tv on pretty much drowns it out, especially if you’re using it under a blanket, or muffled with a towel or pillow.

Mine’s 6 years and going strong. I love it. Best $50 I ever spent.

Dinner and netflix at home is basically a normal weeknight activity for us. It can be date night, if we go out of our way to clean the place up, dress up (even if we are literally staying in all night), and cook or order in something special. But even with all that it only feels like date night if we go out of our way…

My fiance has been doing this all the time lately and it’s driving me crazy. He just obsesses over every aspect of things he hates about his job, and dwells on everything. For hours. On the weekend, in the evening, over dinner. It’s awful. I vent about work, too, but it’s like 10 minutes on the way home and I’m done.

I need to do this. 2 hours of candy crush every day (and that is about what I play, embarrassingly) is not getting me closer to any of my goals. I’m not going to be on my death bed wishing I had played more candy crush. And my boyfriend spends at least twice that amount of time playing games on his computer.

Those eyes and fur say “pet me!” but the claws say “just kidding, I’ll cut you!”

Me too! I was oddly disappointed.
