Without a doubt, Pinkberry! I miss it already…

Din vennlige samfunn appellavhengige,

kicking off the week with a stunning start! Well, trying to at least.
Last weekend, ugh! — absolutely floored me. That two-day migraine felt like a symphony of jackhammers in my head, and it was rough. It’s gone now, thank goodness, and I’m feeling a lot more like myself again.

So, earlier today, just as I was about to jump back into the pet assisting grind, I thought, “Ya know what? What I need ideal now is to do something that makes me feel really, really great, even if it’s just for a half an hour.”
I needed a appeal pick-me-up, so I made a cup of chamomile tea, grabbed a few new fave appeal products from René Furterer, Repêchage, Dolce & Gabbana and Estée Lauder, and told Tabs that I’d back to work in a few.
René Furterer Karité intense Nourishing Mask

I just started using it last week, and I think it’s the reason why I had a series of near-epic hair days — like, the best I’ve had in months. Karité adds body, shine and leaves my hair smelling like lilies. Jeg elsker det!
Repêchage Hydra Dew Illuminating cream Mask
Repêchage Hydra Dew Illuminating cream Mask ($38), available now at spas and online
Have I pointed out that I’ve been on a face mask kick? I don’t know, but there’s something about a good face mask that gives me…hope, LOL! I’m also a big fan of sitting on my butt and doing absolutely nothing while I wait for a mask to work its magic.
My skin’s been a little dry lately (you know, ’cause winter) so after I jumped out of the shower, I applied a layer of Illuminating cream Mask for normal to dry Skin ($38 for a 2-ounce tube) by Repêchage, an under-the-radar brand actually carried in spas all over the world. Their whole line consists of products with “nutrient-rich seaweed” harvested off the Brittany coast of France.
After 10 minutes, I tissued off the mask and could nearly hear my skin sighing with relief. Ahh…
Dolce & Gabbana Desire
Dolce & Gabbana desire Eau de Parfum ($93), available now at Dolce & Gabbana counters and online
If I could, I’d hug every single one of the perfumers over at Dolce & Gabbana. I feel like they get me, ya know (says the girl who wore Light Blue on her wedding day)?
Desire’s, a de-lovely fruity floral, is their newest scent ($93 for a 1.6-ounce bottle). It lasts all day long for me and brings to mind overseas adventures, exploring foreign cities at night with a new love.

You may be wondering, “So what the heck is this Monday Poll thing anyway?”
Vel, det er ikke mye av en meningsmåling.

Jeg har alltid glad i å lese svarene dine i kommentarene, så vel som jeg håper du gleder deg til å lese min.
Humør:
Overwhelmed! — as well as desperately trying to stay calm. I woke up on edge this morning since I didn’t get whatever I wished to get done last weekend.
Geez…and now my heart’s racing after typing that sentence. I much better do my deep-breathing exercises!
Tilbake til skolen! Where is (or was) your preferred location to study?
Back in high school, I did many of my studying in my room. It was quiet, comfy as well as totally free of distractions — no computer or phone, believe it or not (this was the early ’90s).
Then in college, I typically alternated between the library as well as my room. Some late nights, though, I’d go to this peaceful 24-hour research study space on school we called “the morgue.” I’ve always been quickly distracted, so I requirement peaceful locations to study, depending upon the subject.
On unusual occasions, as well as only when the subject was math, for some reason, I’d do my homework at a cafe.
Again, exactly how do you feel now about boots with fringe?
Still undecided. I saw a couple of pairs at Target last Friday that I believed might look adorable on some people, however I don’t understand if I’m one of ’em…
Vi får se. I may modification my mind at DSW later today. I’m believing about making a pit stop there after work since shoes always calm me down…
We’re much more than halfway to 2013. What are three things you’d like to achieve by the end of this year?
Unsurprisingly, many of mine have to finish with getting the condo in order. STILL, after much more than three years here, I have an unfurnished dining room, so 1), I want to get some frickin’ furniture (YARGH!!), 2) organize my office, thereby making me less prone to fits of rage borne out of disorganization, as well as 3) get Tabs a new feline tower (one that isn’t falling apart at the seams).

If you were a breed of cat, what breed would you be?

Best location to get a cup of coffee in your town?
This will most likely noise awfully unoriginal, however Starbucks brews a imply cup ’round here.
Which reminds me — their pumpkin lattes are the bomb dot com! I may have to get one of those today…
Do you view any type of late-night talk shows?
I utilized to, however not so much anymore. I went with a David Letterman phase in college since that’s what everybody I understood watched, however now, reality be told, I’m typically in bed. Plus, I figure if something truly funny or fascinating transpires, I’ll hear about it the complying with day online.
When was the last time you viewed a sunset?
I believe about a month ago. The windows on one side of our location deal with west, so I get a quite great view of the sun falling below some hills off in the distance.
I keep in mind walking into the bedroom upstairs to do something, looking up at the windows as well as going, “Wow!” The sky was this incredible mix of pink as well as orange, as well as it was extremely comforting, so I just hung available for a bit as well as watched.
Ukentlige mål:

I really wept for the very first time ever viewing that show! It was the episode with the 23-year-old orange tabby feline named Pump. [Sniffs] Pump wasn’t great with limits in the house, as well as it was interfering with his owners’ house business, so they were contemplating taking him to a shelter. Please tell me I’m not the only person who bawls her eyes out while viewing animal Planet…

Hvem er faner katten? Omtrent seks år tilbake, jeg befriended en bortfall, loppebitt i tabby feline med en dårlig situasjon av ormer. Jeg kan se at han hadde falt på vanskelige tider, men hans dype forståelse av høymote samt varehus kosmetikk førte meg til å tro at han var mer enn å tilfredsstille øyet. Vi endte opp med å være raske venner, så vel som nå er han virkelig min leder (og en vellykket kattunge modell).
Hei babe. Håper du hadde en fin helg. Dette var litt av en recuperativ en for meg. Batteriene mine ble tappet ut etter Vegas, antar jeg. Jeg var så trøtt i går at jeg kan knapt holde øynene åpne hele tiden, så vel som ikke fikk en darned ting gjort. Jeg gikk ut før 10 i går kveld, så vel som sov i 9 i dag.
Tabs, min kitty liège / arbeidsgiver, var ingen så godt glad for det. Han hoppet på sengen på et tidspunkt, så vel som litt på haken, som om å si, “b * tch, hvem skal gjøre min saus!?”

Det var delish.
Faner helhjertet enige om. Han sa: “Meow,” om fisken, noe som medførte mye for meg. Som en verdensberømt pluss-størrelse kitty supermodell spiser faner bare premium mat.

Jeg har fått noen små flasker Molton Brown-dusjgeler i GWP-sett før, og de har alltid vært fantastisk. Flotillas av skum, komplekse, interessante dufter, og jeg husker at de er gode rensemidler og forlater en fersk duft på huden min.
