My New Years Resolution to Drink More Water ALMOST KILLED ME

Ok... I'm probably being a little dramatic with the title... but still! This is something we need to talk about and that's it lol.

So today has been pretty great so far actually. I won an award at work... which was actually really cool and its good to know I'm doing a good job and people appreciate me. I also got to see my niece who is adorable and it's just been a nice day and stuff.

I had my new favorite water bottle filled up- it has little pictures of dogs doing yoga. Sooo cute... and I was drinking it and noticed it kinda smelled bad. Didn't think much of it- just thought "maybe I should clean it" and that should help better. Then I realized the cap broke and I wondered if that was what was causing the smell.

And suddenly it didn't just smell bad. It smelled kind of like cement or like paint... so I have no idea if whatever was holding the cap together broke and released into my bottle or if something else happened... or if I'm just going crazy and it just smells because it's a new water bottle. I don't know but... I probably won't use the cap- I think I have other caps that will work for it... and I'm washing it out with dish soap right now.

I just think its weird that I got this new water bottle to try to be healthy in the new year and to try to drink more water and for me to actually WANT to drink more water... and even that can be dangerous. It's like when people try to eat salads and then Lettuce gets recalled for E. Coli or something so they go back to eating junk.

It's hard to keep trying to better yourself and I guess the only way to do that is at your own pace really. You don't have to improve EVERY LITTLE THING about yourself from 2019 by January 3rd- just keep trying and look back on December 31st of 2020 and think "Hell yeah, I did a lot this year and I'm better for it." And if you're not it's okay. There's always 2021 and 2022 and more... There's always another chance.

Thanks for reading my sort of unplanned inspirational ted talk of the day annnnd I'll probably see you guys tomorrow!

BYE!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
