This week I’ve been doing oil pulling. It’s that thing in which you swish coconut oil around in your mouth like mouthwash for 20 minutes and it’s supposed to reveal a whiter, straighter, prettier smile that also opens into a studio apartment and a million dollars.
It’s kind of gross. I’m trying to stick it out though. In other news, we went to Wigle Whiskey‘s Tar and Feather party on Friday night. It rained for most of the evening, but it got nicer at the end of the evening and we got to watch the tax collector get dunked. It was a great time.
Updating
Instagram! I’ve been on the fence about opening a blog-specific Instagram account, but I finally did it! You can find me at instagram.com/GardeningInHighHeels. It’s going to be more focused on “blog stuff” like gardening, updates, and interacting with bloggers/readers.
Reminding
I signed up for The Joy Equation with Molly Mahar and I need to remember to take the workbook to Staples and print/bind it. It’s beautiful, full color, so it would totally kill my printer if I did it myself. I also would never get it bound.
Needing
To catch up on other blogs and leave comments. That’s my favorite part of blogging and I’ve been putting priority on other things in my life. What are your secrets for balancing all aspects of blogging?
Wearing
This awesome Blogger, Maker tank from Katy’s Handmade Escapade shop! I love the way she’s laid out the words so each one is kind of different and the font that she chose to use. And the fact that it’s totally comfortable!
I want to live in this shirt this summer. It’s also really hot and swampy here, so the less layers, the better.
Being
Hot and swampy. The humidity here has felt off the charts. Today so far is a little cloudy and cooler. I think this week is supposed to be rainy. It’ll be great for my garden in terms of water and not so great in terms of weeds.I spent about 2 hours yesterday weeding that damn garden and I know it’s one of those fruitless jobs, like vacuuming, where as soon as you do it, you can’t really tell you did it anything.
