I like that they’re equal parts cutesy as well as science-y at the exact same time.

Is that nerdy of me?

Plus, rectangle trays are so helpful around the house. I keep one in my kitchen area for components I utilize often, like olive oil, salt, pepper, that type of thing. I likewise keep one on a table in my living space that I put fashion jewelry as well as my glasses on, since I’m the type of person who will naturally set things down, like, anywhere… as well as then fail to remember about to.

When I assign locations for things, though, as well as I understand that, “OK, this is where I put my glasses, as well as this is where I put my rings,” it just makes my life easier, as well as these trays are excellent for that.

They’re likewise great in bathrooms, too. I have a tray by the sink for my view or my sound before I laundry my hands.

2. The Five-Minute Journal

I’ve been lovin’ on a lotta things lately, as well as I believe it’s partly since I’ve been doing The Five-Minute Journal every day.

I got this as a gift, as well as it’s so wonderful!

All you do is casually fill out the prompts, noting things you’re grateful for, things you believe would make your day great, things you’d like to work on, as well as things like that… I hope I’m not making it noise hard, since it completely isn’t. I truly look ahead to it now. I do five minutes in the morning after I get up as well as five much more minutes before bed (from in bed).

It’s expected to assist you prime your mind to ensure that you can focus much more on the positive side of things instead of the negative.

I’ve been doing it for practically two weeks, as well as I’ve really notice myself having a much better cattitude now. I truly do. It’s one of the very best gifts I’ve ever received.

3. The Marvelous Mrs. Masiel

This is what I binged last weekend. It’s on Amazon Prime Video, as well as — brace yourself — it’s from the creators of The Gilmore Girls!!!! Yes, it’s by Amy Sherman-Palladino as well as Daniel Palladino.

Ono. Jest. Więc. Dobry.

The primary character is Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a 1950s housewife from a well-to-do Jewish household in new York. When her marriage falls apart, she required to figure out what she’s going to finish with her life, as well as it may or may not include stand-up comedy. It’s witty, thoughtful, as well as it has that exact same fast, snappy dialogue like Gilmore Girls.

I don’t even understand if this is the method it truly was, however the makeup, the sets as well as the clothes make me desire everybody still dressed to nines just to run to the grocery store.

4. My great morning playlist

I’ve been bumping these tunes best after I get up, while I’m making the bed, washing my face, brushing my teeth as well as putting on lotion for the day.

They set a great tone for productive butt kicking.

The Rascals, It’s a lovely Morning

Natalie Cole, This will Be

Kylie Minogue, stop Me From Falling

Michael Jack as well as Justin Timeberlake, like never felt So Good

5. Bioluminescent Stamps

I utilized to gather stamps when I was a kid, as well as I still like purchasing stamps with special styles at the publish office.

I just got these yesterday — stamps of bioluminescent life!

ALE FAJNIE.

There’s even a small holo impact when you look at them as well as relocation your head.

Bystrość!

Before I go, the cutest thing occurred to me at the publish office yesterday. So, the one by my home is always crowded. There’s always a line, as well as the people are very grumpy. It’s typically at least a 20-minute wait, so when I go I like to just stand there as well as zone out. I even kinda look ahead to it like it’s my unwinding time.

Anyway, when El Hub got house from work yesterday, I left Connor with him as well as went to the publish office since I needed some stamps. While I was standing in line, there was a bit woman there with her parents. She was half Oriental like Connor as well as wanted to be two or three years old. She walked best as much as me, slowly looked me up as well as down, then slowly increased her arms, as if she desired me to pick her up.

It was the cutest thing in the whole broad world! Her mother as well as father were there, as well as they were like, “Are you great with this?” as well as I was like, “Oh, my gosh, yeah!”

I provided her a hug, as well as then she went on her merry way. It was one of the very best things that occurred to me this week.

The jaws of life
1. The Scunci Fish Clip Jaw Clip for additional Thick Hair

Otherwise understand as THE JAWS OF LIFE! I purchased this on a whim at Target, as well as now every other hair clip is dead to me. If you have long, thick or otherwise unruly hair, this will do wonders for you.

It has much more teeth than your standard-issue claw clip, so it feels stronger as well as sturdier, as well as when I twist my hair up into a bun as well as protected the ends with this clip, the bun really stays put, which never occurs when I utilize a single run-of-the-mill clip.

I got the big size for $3, however they likewise have little ones, too.

2. Edible Monterey Bay

I chosen up two problems of this regional magazine in Monterey last weekend (I believe it’s totally free in town). One was in our room, as well as I discovered the other one on the counter in a fancy-schmancy organic ice cream shop.

It has beautiful photography as well as captivating writing! You’ll want to stay up reading about goat cheese all night long, even though you’re totally exhausted from sightseeing…

3. The Ninja Blender

My in-laws provided this to us while they were moving last month, as well as it’s the most frightening blender I’ve ever owned.

So numerous blades!

I worry for my life each time I laundry it…

It’s not playin’!
Przerażający!
But it slices with anything you feed it. even lemon pits don’t stand a possibility as well as get obliterated to bits. My eco-friendly juices have been the smoothest they’ve ever been.

It’s not the most intuitive device, nevertheless (the very first time I utilized it, I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out exactly how to turn it on), however when you get the hang of it, it’s great.

4. “Do Not Disturb” mode on the iPhone

That “moon symbol” on your iphone silences incoming texts as well as phone calls when you press it, however it still enables emergency phone calls to find though if somebody tries to consistently phone call you.

Very useful if your notifies are set on vibrate, as well as you come from a household of night people who text things like photos of bacon at strange hours (side note: true story). I turn it on just before I go to bed as well as turn it off very first thing in the morning.

5. physical fitness Blender workouts

I’ve been doing the HIIT ones by Kelli, as well as by the end I’m sweating like a mofo. however they have all kind of non-HIIT workouts, too, like for core, arms, back, etc.

If you try the HIIT ones, you ought to most likely have a few genuine life classes under your belt, since the videos don’t delve as well deeply into technique. She just jumps best in, which I like.

Just did this yesterday.

The visual extras on the screen are extremely helpful, like there’s a bar on the right-hand side that lets you understand exactly how much of your workout is left, as well as there’s likewise a small preview screen in the upper left that shows you the upcoming move.

Kelli works you hard, as well as I like that she’s likewise chatty however not obnoxiously perky. You can likewise add your own music, because they purposefully don’t include music in the background.

So that’s me. What have you been loving lately?

Nails of the week: Duri burgundy Charade
1. painting my nails with Duri polish

This week’s color is burgundy Charade — which I pronounce “Sha-RHAD,” emphasis on “RHAD,” because lately the only voice I hear in my head is Moira’s on Schitt’s Creek. HAHAHA!

BEBE!

This under-the-radar family-run brand out of Brooklyn is a low-key beast in the best possible way. The polishes are pigmented, smooth, long-lasting and economical (just $8 a bottle). I’ve also been using their top coat and drying drops, and they work terrific too.

SUPER IMPRESSED!

2. Caroline Girvan’s workouts on YouTube

Caroline Girvan’s YouTube workouts are challenging, and she uses very little verbal instruction, so you kinda have to know what you’re doing already, but I sure do love the variety of her exercises.

I’m regularly trying moves I’ve never done before, which I love! challenges ye olde muscles in different ways, ya know?

Also, on days when I can’t manage someone on the other side of a screen yelling at me to dig deep or do one a lot more pushup or whatever, Caroline’s my go-to. Her videos have a short intro where she talks about the workout, but then during the video, all you hear is music and a series of beeps to let you know that a new exercise or a break is coming up while you see her working out on the screen with you.

It’s just me and my breathing, and some days, I like that.

Right now I’m really into her ab and core videos.

3. placing all of my mugs with the handles to the right…

I recently came across this idea in a how-to-organize video, and even though it’s the smallest little tweak, it works wonders! When I do this…my mug shelf looks less chaotic and better organized.

To the right, to the right…
4. speaking of organization videos…

They’re my new favorite how-tos on Youtube. I have a hard time letting go of things and hold onto items longer than I should, and I desperately don’t want to be that person anymore. No a lot more cluttered shelves, baby! Those are my first goals. After that, I’ll do the closets next.

When I enjoy these organizational how-to vids, it feels like I having a personal instructor by my side talking sense into me and telling me that I have the strength to pass on that pair of pants that 1) no longer fit me, and 2) I haven’t worn in five years.

Here are few of my favorites so far.

5. having an electric kettle with hot/warm water always around

Don’t ask me why I’ve always assumed one water had to be cold in buy to be consumed, but it never occurred to me until recently that I could drink water warm whenever I wanted to all throughout the day.

I have an electric kettle on the counter and now just keep it out so that I can get hold of a cup of warm water whenever I want!

Yes, I could easily heat up the water in the microwave, but I vow it tastes different when I warm it up in the kettle.

Speaking of kettles, how cute is this one?
