This weekend has been beautiful and I am enjoying every minute of it! Worked a little yesterday got by hair done and did some shopping/catching up on errands. Today I did my Jillian Michaels Power Yoga cleaned my apartment and I am going to lunch with my dear friend Erica this afternoon! Sounds perfect I know, but this weekend for some reason I've been conflicted on many topics.
First straws. Ok this may seem silly but I don't know where I stand on the straw debate these days. On one hand using a straw makes me drink more and faster which is good for why I need to hydrate, and bonus they help keep your teeth white if you drink a lot of tea's and coffees. First if you don't me I have a slight Starbucks green tea addiction, trenta green ice tea un-sweetened no water is a sure fire way to make me one happy camper. So I have at least 4 a week (I make my own too don't worry I learned that trick) naturally I use a straw, but wait just a minute didn't I just read that using a straw can increase the wrinkles around your mouth?!? What's a tea drinkin', breakfast smoothie making girl supposed to do now!! Well I can't decide what to do about this, bother anyone else this much? Most likely not, I am a little quirky.
Next conflict I have is Facebook. Now I had de-activated my profile in January, I needed some space from the constant social media. I was getting sick of peoples rants, rude comments and just truly inappropriate etiquette. Lauren Conrad has a great article on social media etiquette you can read it here, she makes a good point in that once it is posted it can NEVER be forgotten or deleted. So true. Anyway I joined the living again about a week ago when I re-activated the site. First they have changed everything so much I didn't even know where to begin! I finally figured everything out and changed a bunch around, I was happy with it thinking ok I'll check it once a week or so. Then my mom calls me and tells me it has me listed as a "he". Ok that's random and an easy fix right, no it took me a week to figure it out! So my confliction with Facebook now is yes its a great way to stay in contact with my friends and family, but is it worth all the drama and gender mix-ups? I have decided it won't be back on my phone and I will only go on twice a week max. Hopefully I can stick to that I don't want to get sucked back into the dark hole of Facebook. Anyone else have similar feelings?
My other confliction this weekend, impulse buys at Trader Joes. That place always gets me! First impulse, fresh beautiful white peony's. Now I love flowers as you all know and buy them frequently so its not out of the norm for me. But as I was leaving the store a very nice older gentleman approached me and said "you know a man should always buy you flowers" and then he smiled and walked away. I completely agree with him, now mind you I don't have a man currently that would buy me flowers anyways but it made me think, is chivalry a dying art? And if its not, where do those men live? Second impulse buy, chocolate covered salted butterscotch caramels. Ok I guess that's not a huge conflict right they are pretty darn good and I've been doing so well I need a treat every once and a while!
Sorry for the novel, feel free to share any internal conflictions you have at the moment!
My hair is much shorter than I thought but I'm loving it- its bouncy
