Aromatherapy packs

I’ve been commuting 3-4 hours a day for over two and a half months now, so I decided to get these aromatherapy heat/cold packs to help ease the strain on my overused muscles. I had initially tried to find one of those mall kiosks that sold them, but it seems they don’t exist anymore. After some research online, I settled on just buying a set (for only $30!) since it seems they all use the same ingredients: natural grains (flax seeds, I believe), lavender, chamomile, cinnamon, peppermint, lemongrass, clove, yarrow, spearmint, yellow dock, valerian root, and white willow, all in a 100% cotton fabric.

The 4-piece set comes with a shoulder wrap, lumbar belt, lavender eye pillow, and peppermint sinus pack. Can you believe they used to sell these things for $145.80?!?! I never would have bought them at that price. Thank goodness I am getting them way after the popularity wave waned and prices are substantially lower and more reasonable. I do hope that they can help make my poor right leg and glute feel better.

It finally arrived! My set of aromatherapy packs to help ease my weary muscles.

Buddha’s Belly

I really enjoy eating at Buddha’s Belly in Santa Monica because of the atmosphere, the Asian fusion food, and the chocolate fondue dessert! The last time we went, Panda got one of the ever-changing specials and I tried a classic dish.

Mmm, a succulent pad Thai dish.

It's pineapple fried rice, in more ways than one!

The proud new owner of a Rainbow Maker, direct from the Smithsonian, I believe.

I can’t wait until one day I have a cat again – this will be great entertainment for it! And it would be great in some sort of a sun room…

Pom-tastic treat!

Look at what I found waiting at my front door today! 🙂

There's something (pom)wonderful in here...

"mary if you were a fruit, you'd taste sweet, just like this pomegranate" message inside pom-a-gram

Aww, a SWEET message. 🙂

Peeking out from under the packaging is the tip of a lovely pomegranate.

Mmm, so plump and red! And it's a wonderfully chilled temperature from the cold outside. I can't wait to eat it!

The ginkgo leaves fade from green to yellow to brown as the season changes and they begin to die.

new haircut makes everything fluffy and silky

Ah, haircuts!  They are always so refreshing and renewing.  There’s something about getting rid of some hair and coming out with a silky, shiny ‘do that is very pleasing.  And today that is what I got done.  🙂  I’ve been meaning to get a haircut for awhile now – the ends of my strands were beginning to fray and the dryness lately has made my hair brittle and coarse.

The cut is nothing different from what I usually get, but the shampoo and conditioning I got today were great for the condition of my hair.  Now my hair doesn’t weigh heavy on me or get tangled towards the ends.  It feels so good to run my hands through and there’s not a hint of static!  The wonders that a salon treatment can do.  I absolutely love it, though I still don’t go more than two or three times a year at best, since it’s really a luxury and not a necessity.

Doesn’t your mood lighten too when it’s a bit breezier around your head?  The better to appreciate wind with!  The better to flip around!  The better to twist and curl!  Oh yes, it feels good and it makes me feel good.  Sometimes I do understand why people spend so much money on things.

Super cool pens (maybe it’s the super ink)

uniball 207 pens, designed to prevent check fraud

I'm a sucker for a set of pens with something unique. Like special ink for preventing check fraud, for instance.

Approved by Frank Abagnale, former con artist and pro at check fraud. Now consultant against such things! (If you ever saw Catch Me If You Can, this is the guy the movie's about.)

Westwood parking

Bruins understand that Westwood is a crazy place to try to find street parking at, but this summer, it got out of control with construction and special groups arriving. Did they really need FIVE signs here?!?!

five separate parking signs restricting parking on gayley ave

Ok, seriously? Isn't this a bit overkill? Might as well just put one sign that says NO PARKING except 6-8 PM Sunday.

So I have a root canal in my front tooth, which I have no recollection of receiving and no clue why I needed it in the first place. I thought root canals were for older people, but apparently not!

180 degree x-ray scan of my teeth

That's what my jaw looks like!

It’s weird to see an x-ray of yourself… like, “hey, that’s my spine!” Kind of surreal.
