Week 8 - Wednesday

Tuesday's food journal
So, my newest obsession may be microwaved cheese crackers :D
They're made so magically and easily! I just get shredded cheese and put a thin layer onto a microwave-safe plate. Then heat it up in the microwave for about 60 seconds. It's ok when the cheese is bubbling. I let it cool down for a little so it'll be slightly crunchy when I nom into it :)

Oh, today I woke up quite late and didn't workout.. BUT I was finally able to get the 2 year 24 hr fitness gym membership from Costco. I SO missed going to the gym and squatting and lifting and getting butt gains.

Also, haha today is the start of the 3rd day of not washing hair. Incredible! I am someone who absolutely loves to shower and gets grumpy when I feel oily and icky. I also workout pretty much everyday. Sometimes even twice a day. Therefore, I used to shower daily. However, during the colder periods of this winter, I noticed my hair and skin were probably being overly washed - skin dry, hair dry. And I felt like my scalp was getting oily at the end of each day.

I also read that showering too much and using shampoo too often can possibly lead to baldness. Please noo I don't want to be bald when I get older. I already have thin hair and I wish my mom shaved my head when I was a baby.

So, I looked up dry shampoos and it seemed like Batiste was an all-time favorite. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical - can dry shampoo really let some people wash their hairs after 3-4 days?? ew, I just want to wash my hair every other day...

HAHA but I am now a true, loyal fan of batiste.
It helps me feel fresh after a workout and I plan to workout later in the day. Or if I wake up later than I planned/needed to and have to rush out. It's perfect for tired, cold nights when I don't want to shower and wait for my hair to completely dry. I never thought I'd be one of those girls that don't wash their hairs for more than 2 days. But I have now seen the light and  am converted.  I have a dirty little secret *Shhh.

 I still do enjoy washing my body everyday though. I highly doubt I will ever become one of those people that can live on baby wipes for a couple days. Unless I'm at burning man or doing volunteer work in a third world country.
Listen to the reviews, I definitely prefer the cherry smell over the blush smell.

haha wow today I spent quite a bit of time on Pinterest organizing my old likes and boards. It's one of those sites that really suck up your time because you invested so many things you want to save for a future project or for your future in general. But the one disadvantage is that I've collected so many things that I pinned to look at later, which I have forgotten. I want to kind of get into a habit of looking back at them (while not wasting too much time) and bringing them out into action.

One thing good about having gone to a small private school was that... everyone knew of each other, or at least recognized their faces. Obviously, that could also be a huge disadvantage. But being an alumni means that we have this small yet strong connection of 'networking' and when you bump into someone from your school, it's not that strange to hang out with each other even though back in school the only contact we might've had was taking a course together or bumping into each other at a social gathering. Well that isn't really the case here because I'm close to these awesome ladies here and Mr. Canada (let's call him that) was my ex-roommate's big so we're all interconnected and I have fond, fun memories with him from my undergrad years. hokay.. that was a slight tangent, my bad FRIDAY Anyways, I haven't seen Anabelle and Lexi in a while so through their beckoning I answered their call and sang/drove my way down to SD. I first meet up
