Lifestyle

Do you remember the last time that you walked through a crowded building? Maybe it is something your experience on a regular basis or maybe it’s a rare occasion for you. I’m not always pushing my way through crowds, but when I am all of my senses are on high alert. Maybe it’s an instinct, just to keep myself safe and aware. I can walk through a crowd and hear bits and pieces of conversation. I remember the guy in the bright red cap and the girl with the shorts that are a little too short. I feel the people bumping into me and I feel the sense of urgency in the air. I remember it all and take it all in as I walk through these crowds. The one thing that always sticks with me is scent. Scent can trigger memories that were long lost. I always get a variety of unpleasant and pleasant scents when rushing through crowds of people. Why not be the 1 in 10 people with a pleasant scent?

Being healthy doesn’t only mean watching what you eat. It’s just as important to watch what you drink. Many people forget that drinks can be just as unhealthy as a lot of foods! I find great joy in trying new and unique foods and drinks. When it comes to looking for a unique drink, I typically stick with something healthy and natural. That is why I was super excited to try Caliwater’s All Natural Cactus Water. I have heard of cactus water, but I have never tried it. I mean come on, I live in Florida, there aren’t cactuses in all over the place. I must say, I was surprised by the health benefits of Caliwater’s Cactus Water.

I love trying new recipes. I am always searching for something new and different to cook with. A lot of times I find an amazing recipe, only to realize that I am missing one ingredient- Culinary Alcohol! The problem is that most grocery stores do not have culinary alcohol. In fact, I have never seen any in stores. Yes, you can use the real thing, but traditioners liquors are not made for cooking; they are made for drinking! Why not use a liquor that was specifically formulated for chefs? Why not use a product that was tested and approved by REAL chefs? I think every cook and every foodie would happily accept a chance to use REAL Culinary Alcohol!

Who says we can’t make sweaters cool again? I’ve always loved sweaters. When I was a teenager I would wear a sweater every single day of the year, in FLORIDA! Crazy right? I can’t help it. Sweaters provide me comfort. It doesn’t help that sweaters are just super cool and match with everything! Times are changing, which means that Fashion is too. Have you ever noticed that Fashion recycles? Things ALWAYS come back in style at some point. It’s time that sweaters do too. Not just any kind of sweater though. I am talking about a modernized kind of sweater.

Who says adults can’t dress in cute jammies and stay up all night playing games and eating snacks? A boring old person with no imagination, that’s who! I LOVE feeling like a kid again. Playing dress up, breaking out the makeup to make myself look like an old time movie star, and eating like I will never gain a pound. Oh the joys of the imagination. I am one that always believes that we are not too old to do anything. We are never too old to live, to laugh, to learn, or to have a good time! That’s why I didn’t hesitate to review an adult ONESIE hahaha
