When I say obsessions, I mean obsessions. The thing is… when I like something, I like the crap out of it. Until I don’t, because I’ve overdone it. It’s a problem.
So, basically.. here are a few of my ‘problems’ this month.
Monthly Archives: August 2014
REVIEW: Swedish Dream Soap
Let me just put it out there… I’m particular about soap. Yes, I’m particular about a lot of things, but especially about soap. There is however a reasoning to my madness. You see, I have eczema, and anyone who’s ever had eczema before will understand.
There is no journey too far, and no price too high for some form of relief; for anything that will subside the constant need to scratch, for anything that will not further irritate the skin, for anything that will soothe the eczema. The struggle is real. I know, I’ve been there.
Everyone’s Favorite Chip Accessory, Guacamole.
What can I say? Even my best friend, who happens to dislike avocados, will eat guacamole. That is how strong the guacamole force is.
I’m not saying I’m a guacamole expert, nor is this an authentic recipe, but it works.
Brand Admiration: BAGGU
Ethically Made in China |Based in Brooklyn, NY
– Products designed to be eco-friendly
– Minimal material waste
– Machine Washable/ Line Dry
I can only really speak for BAGGU’s nylon reusable bags because quiet honestly they’re the only ones I’ve purchased and I’m absolutely obsessed with them. I love their nylon bags so much I even give them as gifts because I think every person I’ve ever come into contact with should own one. Needless to say, if you know me IRL, you know what you’re getting for Christmas.
Snacking Chronicles: Licorice
So I know what your thinking. Black licorice? Really? Disgusting. That’s old people candy.
I know. I know. I know. As a child, I too found any form of black licorice absolutely atrocious. I detested it. It was foul and absolutely putrid tasting. With that said, as I have gotten older I’ve somehow found an affinity for it. So before you revert back to warheads and skittles, consider giving these a try before condemning black licorice back to life long solitude inside your grandmother’s crystal candy dish.
Oh, Brownie Brittle how I love thee…
I mean, who doesn’t love chocolate! Unless, you have an allergy or don’t like the taste of it. Yes, I did know someone who disliked the taste of chocolate. All chocolate; milk, dark, semi-sweet, dutch, she was not a fan. She did like white chocolate however, but c’mon… we all know white chocolate isn’t really chocolate.
REVIEW: Mineral Fusion Nail Polish Remover
I began my journey several months ago in hopes of finding a non-toxic nail polish remover. Unfortunately many green nail polish removers were not as competent as conventional brands at removing highly pigmented color off my nails.
Proust Questionnaire Quarterly
For those of you who have never heard of the Proust Questionnaire, its is essentially a series of questions that supposedly gives insight about taker’s taste, aspirations and personality. Quite honestly, thirty-five questions is a bit much and my attention span falters just thinking of it. So, before I digress…
REVIEW: DIOR Addict It-Lash Mascara
I suppose I should start by saying I have thin straight lashes and finding a mascara to make my lashes look half decent has been an expensive and daunting mission for the past several years.
I’ve tried everything from luxury to high street, all natural and mineral based to fiber; and to be honest, nothing worked. Every mascara made my lashes droop, clump or smudged or worst yet, it would irritate my eyes so badly I would pluck off my lashes. I was at a loss.
Banana Blueberry Streusel Muffins with a Lemon Suggestion
Do you ever wake up one morning and find soft, brown, overripe bananas and wonder…“How did this happen?” “I swear I just bought these the other day.”
Well friend, this happens to be all the time. So, naturally I had to come up with a way to use them up because eating them in their current state was completely out of the question and I have enough frozen bananas in my freezer to last me three lifetimes. Honest!
Well, maybe like three months.. ok, weeks.. alright, its more like days..
