I love being a creative cook but I need a sous chef to follow me around and write down what I put in my food because I never remember what I did 😩😩

Made a bean soup in the crockpot overnight and it turned out fantastic. Unfortunately I was just throwing things in the pot so I’ll likely never be able to recreate it the same way again 😭😭

I need to stop buying new cécred products because they always end up working really well on my hair 😩 I hate spending the money but love how they work in my hair.

God forbid a girl wants to have a nice dinner in bed without having to cook or clean the night before a long travel day 🤷🏾‍♀️😂😂

Laughing because I told my guy friend that I booked a hotel tonight before my travel day tomorrow so I can have room service dinner in bed and he said “That’s why you’re single” 😂😂

Officially on vacation. Work does not exist for the next week.

It was interesting to me that even with all my professional success it didn’t even occur to me to add career to a hypothetical movie about my life. I don’t think I realized how little value it has in the grand scheme of my life.

Saw a post that asked if someone was making a movie of your life what would be the opening before the Title Card. I was able to immediately describe what mine would be and even an outline for the whole “movie”. What I found most interesting is that work never came up in the “movie”.

I love when I put the least amount of effort into my look and get the most compliments while I’m out

I’m grateful to have the type of best friend that would drive my sister to the ER for me since I live 3000 miles away and can’t do it. ♥️♥️

The joys of holiday week 🙌🏾. Turning off my sound so I don’t have to hear Teams alerts because everyone is on PTO so I don’t have any pings to listen out for.

I think I need to stop looking because this is just making me more pissed off by the minute

Also what the hell happened to searching for an image?? I was trying to find a picture of the sweatpants I want but now the image search is just a bunch of sponsored ads. If I wanted that I would’ve clicked on shop. Google has ruined the internet search 😡😡

Where are the big and tall men getting their sweatpants this days cause I know they’re not wearing these tight ass sweatpants. This is starting to piss me off.

What happened to men’s sweatpants?!? I used to get some big comfy baggy men’s sweatpants to wear around the house in the winter. Trying to find some now and they’re all slim fit and joggers.

Definitely ready to get home and crash

Sitting in the airport for hours on end is not my idea of fun but at least I’m in the lounge

Having to do work travel right before vacation travel is like torture. I keep forgetting that I’m not on vacation yet 😭😭

I wish companies that make cluster lashes offered different band lengths in addition to lash lengths in the same pack. My eyes are different sizes and I hate having to cut the bands on my cluster to try to get them to fit.

MAJOR BREAKING: California’s redistricting measure, Prop 50, has PASSED — a major win for Governor Gavin Newsom. The Blue Tsunami is complete. Trump and MAGA have been forcefully REJECTED by the American people.

The type of messages I get from my boss and my boss’s boss. What can I say, I’m good at what I do.

Continuing my annual tradition of watching my favorite holiday transition movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Still fighting this cold. At least I have a little bit of my taste back now that I’m no longer ridiculously congested. To celebrate I have some spicy Korean ramen otw

If you have a bill on autopay shouldn’t they tell you that they’ve changed your payment date??? Went from the 28th of the month to the 9th of the following month with no heads up 🙄

Ended up catching a cold at the house party 😭😭this is why I stay inside. Now I’m over here miserable.

I love an old fashioned Millennial house party. Had a ball last night even though I am suffering today.

I hate when I order a rideshare and they pull up in a Tesla. Those cars give me motion sickness. I’ve never had that with any other vehicle but when I get in them I immediately feel like I am gonna puke.

It’s a good night to watch Sinners again

Finally getting back into dancing after a 3yr hiatus and I’d forgotten how much I loved it and the community. It’s definitely different in this 40yo body though 😩

We still haven’t canceled daylight savings time yet??? I’m not ready for it to start getting dark so early.

Who knew hummingbirds were great pollinators? They’ve been in my cucumber flowers so much lately I haven’t had to hand pollinate myself. Im loving all the new cucumbers popping up. I live downtown on an upper floor so I don’t get pollinators very often but it looks like the hummingbirds took over. 🌱

I delayed the flowering to the strengthen the plant and so far I haven’t had to stake them even on the windy days. With all these flowers I’m about to have an abundance of bell peppers. 🌱

Persian cucumbers plus a new fertilizer routine has resulted in my first successful cucumber plant. I’ve harvested 4 and have more growing. The plant is actually still really healthy. In the past by now the plants were diseased and malnourished. Switching to potash and kelp was a game changer 🌱

Look at them now I basically have a little tree lol. I have hundreds of tomatoes. I keep thinning out the side branches and leaving the suckers which turn into more tomatoes. They’ve started to bush out instead of up which I like because this is already so tall. 🌱

It’s so satisfying to be able to pluck things right off the plant when you feel like eating them. I rarely do full harvests I just grab what I need (and a little snack lol) 🌱

I Love when random garden tips actually work. Something was eating my lettuce and I saw on a blog that bay leaves were a good deterrent. 2 weeks later after laying bay leaves all over I’ve not had a single lettuce leaf eaten since. Way better and easier than the neem oil. 🌱

Chat also told me that the level of detail I gave and the way my dream progresses was more aligned with a memory than a dream.

For those of you who remember your dreams vividly have you ever put them into ChatGPT to analyze? I learned that what I thought everyone else could do is in fact an anomaly.

If someone says to you “Tell me who you are” what is the first thing you lead with? I’m trying to see something

It’s such a different type of dopamine hit to go outside and see your garden thriving. Had a bit of a slow start this season but now everything is in full bloom and looking delicious. 🌱

To my fellow obsessed gardeners: How many times a day do you go check on your garden? I work remote so I’m out there every hour like 🌱👀 to if anything has changed 🤣🤣

To me the hardest part about growing in pots is not being able to find the kind of trellis I want. Managed to piece this together for my tomatoes to grow into 🌱

Joy for me is turning on a great playlist while I dance around and play in the garden. Trying to stay sane in a chaotic world.

I was right. My hair is 90% dry now. Curls are nice and poppin, hydrated, and defined without a trace of flaking. I’ll Definitely be using this combo again.

When you do a product test to make sure that your new hair products play well together and they turn clear while mixing 👏🏾👏🏾 oh yeah my curls are gonna love this combo.

Salads with ingredients from my garden hit differently. This was absolutely Delicious!! I pickled the veggies in a strawberry rosé vinegar for a few hours first then mixed a little honey and oil to make a dressing with it. I will definitely be making it this way again.

When I was 11 my mom called up to the school to tell me and my sister that she was going to Vegas for the weekend, that she left pizza money on the table, and that she’d be back Sunday. We were often unsupervised growing up.

Those all day strategy meetings are killer. It’s barely 8:15 and I’m ready to crash but I know if I do I’ll be wide awake at 2 so I’m trying to hold off a little longer 😩

Times like this make me so glad I have a projector in my room. Watching #Sinners with the different aspect ratios in 4K on my wall feels like I’m back at IMAX. I’m gonna watch this movie a million times!!!

Sinners hits streaming for purchase at 9pm pacific. Guess I’m watching it again before bed tonight.
