studying in B&N

and this girl decides she wants to sit behind me. I saw her earlier on the other side of the cafe, she had her laptop open and chatting away on her phone. I’m pretty sure she moved behind me to use the outlet.

Anyway, I’m here doing some work and listening to some music, and I hear her through my headphones. I start to do this twitch/squint thing with my eye that means I’m supremely irritated and I start clearing my throat. Surely she has go to notice that her convo is a tad bit too loud. But she doesn’t. She’s here talkin about how she can’t focus and the need for energy drinks, blah blah, and after about 20 minutes she finally hangs up.

Thank you, Jesus.

Only not really, because then she calls someone else.

-______-

So, I finally turn around and give her the nastiest bitchface I could muster.

Problem solved. She hung up quickly. Now all I hear is her sniffling. Maybe I should offer her a tissue.

Garnier Fructis: Triple Nutrition Shampoo/Conditioner review

A while back I mentioned getting a Garnier Fructis bzzkit since I am a bzzagent. (A bzzagent is someone who gets items sent to them to try out and give their honest opinions on them.) In the bzzkit I got the Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioner bottles. It is formulated for “dry, damaged hair.” My hair tends to be oily at the root and really dry at the ends, so I was apprehensive about the formula. I was really excited about the smell though because it was amazing!

 

Shampoo: I thought the formula was viscous coming out of the bottle. I thought it would be heavy and weigh my hair down, but when my hair is dry, it feels the same as it did with my normal shampoo. When rinsing your hair off, you might feel like you can’t get rid of all the shampoo. I think this is because it has 3 different fruit oils incorporated in the formula. I liked the shampoo, but there wasn’t enough that stood out about the shampoo to make me want to repurchase it.

Conditioner: The conditioner is really thick. When I squeezed it out of the bottle it looked more like lotion than anything else. The scent is really strong, but not overpowering. I only used it on the ends of my hair, because I didn’t want to risk adding more oil to my roots. I found that after my hair was dried, it was still soft and shiny. You could still smell a faint scent, but definitely not like it came straight from the bottle. With rinsing, my hair felt silky smooth, and it was easy to get rid of tangles. I felt like the conditioner helped with preventing further breakage at my ends. I really liked the conditioner, and would definitely repurchase it.

Overall, the Garnier Fructis did not fail to impress. The formulas were great and the new design of the bottles are earth friendly.  Thanks bzzagent and garnier!

This is so true. I was in Ross the other day and I was looking for the juniors/missess section. I saw the S, M, L and XL areas, but then I saw 2XL, 3XL, 4XL!!! What the heck! I know that some people are predisposed to being overweight, but there are many controllable factors that have an impact on the size of your body.
Food is a major factor along with exercise.
Change is possible, it takes time and patience.
This CDC factoid just grosses me out.

6…and the treadmill got hungry

I’m on this fitness quest, so I went to the gym today to burn off a super unhealthy lunch. Anyway I had the full intention to study and run at the same time, so I took my notes and a pen, you know typical. At one point I made an attempt to grab my pen an stupidly knocked it onto the treadmill. Instead of staying in the center and rolling off the end, it rolled towards the edge of the mat…

I got worried that the pen would get stuck and make a rattling noise, and then everyone would look at me, so I turned off the machine and as the machine slowed down my pen got trapped and slowly disappeared into the machine.

It was totally gone when the machine stopped. I quickly looked around and no one seemed to notice what just went down, so I slowly moved away from the machine and started working on an elliptical.

Some things of note:

-I lost my favorite pen

-In my haste to turn off the machine, I didn’t get any of the stats from running. Frustrating.

I had two pairs of the same black flats. A month ago one pair was getting pretty ragged so I shoved them in the trash, never to be seen again. Then I decided that it was too hot and I only wore sandals with my outfits.

Today, trying to look a bit professional with my black skirt on, I search for my remaining pair of black flats. I found the shoes in two different places. Here comes the stupidity…I have TWO shoes for the SAME foot.

Yeap, ridiculous. I tried putting one on the left foot, it doesn’t work, at all. Now I have to change out of this stupid outfit. Frustratinggggggg.

4. Airplane windows

When I was flying back home from NY, I was assigned a window seat. Normally I choose the aisle because I want the option of going to the bathroom. Anyway, it turned out that the window seat was awesome. For the first time in a long time I really got to see everything from the sky. Most of you know that airplane windows have two layers. Here’s a picture if you need a reminder

Also, I wear glasses, and as I was oOOooing and ahhhhhing at everything I saw outside, I kept smashing my glasses into the window. After each time I told myself not to bash my head so hard, but of course being me, I smacked my head quite a few times. I’m never going to get those brain cells back.
