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!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
