Have you tried anything new latey?

[Muddled]

Products?
Stores?
Experiences?

What have you tried recently that I need to know about?
Anything* I should run far far away from?



*other than the obvious like house fires and blood clots and surgeries and the like

[fussbucket]

You mean, like, in the butt?

[starrieskies]

I got nothin'. I'm such a creature of habit. I need to "shake it up" a little though. So I'm just going to sit here and see what everyone else likes. If nothing else, I'll live vicariously through ya'all.

Is that new?


New things I have tried:

*Kiels facewash - jury still out

*TJs earl gray - bleah, but you already know that

*Lush massage bar - ok, not totally new, but it has been years. I love it.

*new fuzzy leggings from UniQlo- love! also, I love their undies and they now sell online if anyone needs new undies



Hmmmm... What else?

Oh! TJ's coconut body butter! LOVE. I think it rivals the Body Shop and it's way cheaper. Boots body butter I did not like so much, but maybe that was the smell I chose (almond).

Almond is one of my favorite smells in the whole wide world! If I could find a good almond scented candle, I'd be in heaven!

[bowies]

I'm making spaghetti pie tonight. Will let you know how it turns out.

I dyed my hair back to its original color. Everyone tells me they like my hair darker, so I made it so. I did get a few highlights because I can't resist.

I went to a Caribbean restaurant last night and ordered my plantains mashed instead of fried. Walking on the wild side! We're going to go back on a Saturday night for dancing.

Lush - Happy happy joy joy condition, rehab shampoo, and no drought dry shampoo. I love them all except maybe the no drought (but I haven't used it much) it smells really nice though.

That's about it lately.

Bumble and bumble thick shampoo and I love love love it.

Then I suggest Method's Wood for Good (wood furniture polish). It's almond scented. It makes my whole house smell wonderful.



I got Aveeno's Eczema lotion. I've used it twice and the patches on my arms are just about gone already. The patch around my eye is about halfway gone.

Considering the patches on my arms have been there for about 2 months and the patch around my eye has been there for 5 weeks now... I'm impressed.

The Method floor cleaner is nice too and makes the whole house smell like almond (if you have wood floors).

I've been trying 1 -2 new recipes a week lately and about 1/2 have bombed. I usually have pretty good luck but I must be picking the wrong sources for recipes lately.

I tried Calista Tools styling cream on my hair today and my curls fell out the same as usual and the frizz took over.

That's it, I'm not trying anything new anymore!

ETA; oohhh...I did try a new method for making BBQ country ribs and they turned out awesome! I'm eating some right now.

We do have wood floors, but H refuses to use floor cleaners on them. I'm definitely going to try the furniture polish though!

I just bought craploads of candles and stuff on sale post-Christmas, and I make a point to light at least one for a little while every day.

It's kind of dumb, but it makes me happy. However, it also makes it so that every time I go from the bedroom into the living room, I think H is baking surprise cookies and then I get sad.

Panera's fiji apple salad- delish

Started watching Fringe- obsessed

[maucat]

Jordana best lash extreme mascara, $4 at the drugstore. Pretty damn good.

The throat/mouth irrigation attachment on my sinus irrigation system: sucked ass, felt like I was gagging the whole time, but feel much less sick now.

[bowies]

I just started watching Fringe too! PACEY!!!!!!!

[malibu]

I deviated from my usual Cover Girl mascara and sprang for Neutrogena. It doesn't flake off like all the other drugstore brands, so I'm liking that.

I went all "fancy" and bought bread from the bakery rather than the crap on sale for $1.99 at the grocery store. Num.

I light a candle on my desk every day. Especially when I'm having an "off" day. I don't know why it helps, it just does.

What season/episode are you on?!

I LOOOOVE Pacey on it! And how freakin' much do you want to hug the stuffing out of Walter?

[housegeek]

This game on my iPad, Blockheads. Holy cow its addicting.

I love Pacey and loved the first season, but it lost me in the second season.

[bowies]

We're a couple episodes into the second season. I'm worried about getting lost too. Once we start getting into the super sciencey stuff, my brain peaces out. It doesn't help that this is what we watch right before we fall asleep at night.

FI LOVES Walter. He thinks the actor does such a fantastic job.

I had beef carpaccio for the first time last night at this fantastic Italian place. It tasted like vacation to my husband and I. It was amazing.

This week I have been trying to cook at home more and eat healthier. (aside from last night)

I made an eggwhite crustless quiche. It is really good and I feel much better in the morning.
I also made up a coconut/peanut thai dish. It was good but not fantastic. I could make it better. I am trying to use more spices to make healthy food taste better.

I changed up my work routine and biked instead of walking. It makes me happier that the sun is staying out later. I also don't feel like I am going to get hit on my bike when the sun is out.

I got new undies and it has made my week fantastic. There is nothing like new underwear to put a pep in my step.

[interro]

Leaving the crock pot home alone to do its job!
Seriously, though, my old one was a smoky mess and I never felt safe leaving it so putting stew in at 7am and coming home to find it cooked and delicious at 6pm was awesome.
