039 Tastes like cinnamon toast crunch
I really shot myself in the foot last week…
Making a proclamation that I won’t buy any new clothing for the rest of the year requires adherence for at least a few weeks, lest anyone think I don’t take my commitments seriously.
Therefore, it was a rather drab week without fashion. I looked, but I did not buy. Point for me.
So we’re on to a myriad of randomness that captured my attention this week and as always, I’m here to share with you:
Catalina Crunch. I mostly have my stuff together these days when it comes to my diet. For anyone who knew me back in the day, this is not the same chip eating, wine swilling, salad avoiding, diet coke drinking person you knew. This is the new new. I do, however, struggle sometimes with chocolate. It all started with a Tony Chocoloney & spiraled downhill. I got ahold of myself and banished chocolate from the pantry, but sometimes you just need a little snacky, no matter how clean you eat. I tried Catalina Crunch, and it’s legit. It’s not so good that you want to eat the entire bag, but good enough that you eat a handful and feel like you got past the cravings. I prefer the Cinnamon Crunch flavor.
Foundation. I hear you, I hear you…Sci-fi isn’t your thing. But this show. It just gets better with every episode. Season 2 just wrapped and it was superb. Mom @ the Movies here gives it two thumbs up.
Hoover Carpet Cleaner. If you have a dog, you have a dog that vomits. Unexpectedly. At 2am. It’s just dog law or something. Anyhow, if you have a dog and you don’t have a handheld carpet cleaner, you’re doing extra work removing stains. I ran over my old carpet cleaner in the garage and broke it, requiring a new one. For once, poor driving skill worked in my favor. The $99 you spend on this will save you hundreds in expensive professional cleaning costs. And, it works. I have white carpet that has been vomited on, I kid you not, no less than 15 times. Still looks brand new.
IS Clinical sunscreen. I don’t even hide my sunscreen collection anymore. I just line them up like perfumes and take my pick for the day. I’m so pro sunscreen now possibly to make amends for all the years I destroyed my skin with sun exposure. In any event, I make a point to 1. use sunscreen on my arms & hands (as well as my face) daily, 2. use a mineral sunscreen as often as possible. The challenge, however, is that mineral sunscreen can make you look like Zuck out for surf.
A PSA that no matter how much you apply, sunscreen will NOT make you invisible. Sweater saver. A few weeks ago, I got some weird Sunday burst of energy and decided to de pill all of my sweaters. It was absurdly satisfying and my now my sweaters don’t look like they’ve gone a round with a lawn mower. I know de pilling your sweater is not the first item on your to do list, but I son’t need to remind you that it’s sweater weather, people, and you want to look fresh, not frump. This one is dummy proof.
That’s all for this week of rest for my credit card. Maybe I’ll continue my non-purchasing streak next week…or not.
