SHE'S DIET COKE

daily Tuesday, October 01, 2024
 photo sourceMy addictive personality strikes again - and it's diet coke. I think about a fat, crisp diet coke multiple times a day. If I can't get my hands on one exactly, only the diet drinks can satiate the addiction - not the sugar free. I had two today and I debated the third but it was too late in the day and...

Shut the front door - I have found my favorite run of the mill grocery store pick! Kerrygold Dubliner and strawberries. I was eating my breakfast bowl (Greek yogurt bowl that included chopped strawberries) and I cut a sliver of the Dubliner I grabbed at Publix on Monday and I ate it back to back with the strawberry and it was just breakfast...

Tuesday, September 03, 2024
Can we talk about my favorite skin care for a moment?? I started my skin care routine back in October 2022. Before then, I washed my face in the shower with WATER. . . .  WATER at my ripe 27 years of age. Emily always used to be so shocked that that's all I did but I had just lived my life like...

Hi all,I am reporting sudden, devastating news from the Monterrey airport. My sweet aunt, my father's eldest sister, passed away this morning. She had emergency surgery a few months ago in Spring to remove about 5 or 8 kilos of a cancerous tumor. She was seemingly completely healthy and so it was a very unexpected turn of events. From then on, she underwent...

This was not...

The Cheeseme - A grater mission

cheese Thursday, July 11, 2024
Emily is here from Mexico, so staying busy in the afternoons is a must. Yesterday's plan was window shopping at World Market and a walk on a Kennesaw Mtn trail. In between those I needed a snack, and because we had just spent more than half an hour admiring WM's selection of foreign meats and their accompaniments, I naturally craved CHEESE. A Whole...
