    It’s Time to Try a Cup – This Post is about Periods

    June 25, 2021 /

    Traditional period products are expensive, wasteful, uncomfortable, and packed with plastic and other harmful chemicals. I started hearing about alternative period products a few years ago, things like The Diva Cup and Thinx, but was too afraid to make the switch, until this year. I've now been using my menstrual cup for six months and regret nothing except not making the change sooner.

    Hot Chickz – L.A. Hot Chicken, Hidden Gem in La Puente

    June 17, 2021 /

    As I write this I have eaten at Hot Chickz, three times, twice in one weekend. I have tried both versions of their sandwiches, their chicken sandwich (served on a bun) and their Hot Chick Sandwich (served on a roll). I have tried two different spice levels "Just a Kick" (mild) and "Feelin' It" (medium). Although I was able to eat the medium it was painful and I've decided to stick with their mild. I have also tried their Hot Chick Fries (everything you get on a Hot Chick Sandwich, chicken, coleslaw, pickles, and sauce, on top of fries), their mac and cheese, and a pepperoni pizza.

    Tomato Update – My Plants are Dying!

    June 9, 2021 /

    A few weeks ago I shared with you how I ended up with eight different tomato plants, despite not liking tomatoes at all. I had decided at the beginning of the growing season to share more of my garden and what I'm doing and learning, so I had decided to write that post probably a couple months ago. Thanks to life and a bad case of procrastination, that post didn't make it up when I wanted it to and sadly by the time I did publish that post I was already starting to run into problems, but I had not figured out what was causing the problem and I was…

    I Hate Plastic Water Bottles

    June 3, 2021 /

    Now I could go on and on about the amount of plastic waste produced by people drinking water bottles (over 60 million water bottles are thrown away everyday in the US) or how much plastic is entering our oceans annually (8 million metric tons), which if you are reading this, you probably were expecting that, but I realize not everyone cares about that. Not everyone is concerned with how much plastic they waste or how much that plastic is hurting the planet, but most people do care about their money and how much they are wasting or how much they could save.

First Christmas without my Tickle 🎄 Halloween w First Christmas without my Tickle 🎄 Halloween was her holiday but Christmas just isn't the same without her. I wasn't always a big fan of Christmas, but she always got me through it. And when I finally began to embrace the holiday she was always at the center of it. I miss her cuddles, kisses and wiggle butt even more this time of year.
