So, after a few B&B writers - Lindsay, Kathleen and Kathleen’s girlfriend, Vanessa - recently moved into their new apartments, I’ve constantly been thinking about what I would buy for my apartment if I, of course, had one.
One thing that all of us seem to enjoy doing is leaving little messages around each other’s places (Kathleen writing on Lindsay’s bathroom mirror in soap, leaving funny drawings at Lindsays, writing ‘Revenge’ on Kathleen’s driver’s license). So it got me thinking about what little object I could have for my drunken buddies to write me crazy messages for my hangover the next morning. Then I found these Bamboo Dry Erase Panels by Three by Three Seattle. I love these things. They’re eco friendly, and really good looking. I’m not a terribly eco friendly person, but I really like the way eco friendly products look. I like wooden products more than most. I already have an idea for what my non exist living room might look like, but you don’t want to hear about that.
So if you need a little dry erase board that you can write little notes on (or your drunken buddies) and want to be green, too, then these are perfect.
I’ve recently tried LesserEvil snacks and they are really good, especially their Kettle Corn. Their Black & White Kettle Corn is regular and chocolate and it’s delicious. They’re also really good for you and are
New Year’s Eve is known for two things, getting terribly drunk and making out at midnight. Okay, you could add the ball dropping if you want, but it’s only used to cue when to lip lock. Sorry, I can’t really help you how to kiss, but I can help a little with the hangover with these few tips.
1. When you’re hungover, take Alka Seltzer, which is Aspirin-based, and Resolve, a Paracetamol-base. Together they well help your headache and balance out your stomach. 2. Take Milk Thistle, in caplets or drops, beforehand. Milk thistle helps eliminate toxins from your liver, and we all know where liquor goes. 3. Drink coconut water. Coconut water contains electrolytes that will help rehydrate and cool down your body. 4. And last, Lindsay swears by taking Advil. I’ve never tried it, coconut water works for me, but she claims when she takes it she feels fine.
It’s almost that time again guys. That time to make New Year’s resolutions. Instead of setting yourself up to fail by saying a certain goal weight or number, just try saying “this year I’m going to make myself happy.” You’ll be happy when you feel comfortable in your clothing or when you feel confident. Numbers can’t make you feel, but your attitude can. So if your goal is to get in better shape, skip the numbers and instead amp up your attitude. To help here is a list of 15 snacks you could munch on that wont make you feel guilty afterward and make you feel on track. See! Feelings.
I really liked what had created from Chocomize, which is a website/company that allows you to create your very own chocolate bar.
Created from real Belgian chocolate, you can choose between dark, milk and white chocolate and up to 5 different ingredients ranging from herbs, spices, and even Cheerios. I had made one with lavender, flax seeds, and blueberries, which ended up being delicious.
Lemon and thyme grilled salmon on a mango salad with chickpeas, grilled capsicum, tomato, and asparagus.
This was my dinner tonight! I wanted to try cooking something different and I’d never cooked fish before, so I thought I’d give it a go. You can tell that the salmon was a bit burnt, but it still tasted really nice. I think this is probably the best thing I’ve ever cooked. The flavours just worked so well together!
It sucks sometimes being a broke ass college student. Nine times out of ten, my health takes a back seat to my wallet. Not only do I eat really bad junk food, I also drink, GASP! Diet soda. Most of the time when I tell people I try to kick the soda habit, diet or regular, they typically ask me why. They always say the same thing about diet soda “it doesn’t have calories and it doesn’t make you fat, what’s wrong with it?” What’s wrong with it is aspartame, a man-made artificial sweetener. Just the definition alone should give you a hint. Artificial is never good for us. It’s FAKE people. Our bodies aren’t built to digest or handle fake shit. It’s made to digest natural, plant based products. Trust me, look at your ancestors, they weren’t always gobbling man made shit. Aspartame is broken down into phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol - methanol, when ingested, converts to formaldehyde, which is a neurotoxin. Through studies, aspartame has been found to cause medical issues such as cancer, brain tumors and multiple sclerosis. How’s that for a swift kick in the balls?
If you think that I’m bullshitting or exaggerating, then how do you explain aspartame victim support groups? Or the fact that states such as New Mexico and Hawaii, and many more following in their steps, are planning on getting this shit banned? Yeah, think I’m lying or joking now?
Now, if you must get your soda fix there are tons of natural sodas on the market such as Izze Sparkling Juice or my personal favorite Zevia.
And if you’re like my frequent enabling ass, using money as an excuse, just remember that good filtered tap water is always free.
