Friday vs. Shampoo

I am in a really good mood today. Some folks have hypothesized that my mood is solely dependant upon the day of the week. I, personally, think it's my shampoo.


Kuz recently suggested that I try a shampoo that was sulfite (I think) free . . . said that it was really good for sensitive skin. I started looking around and found that Burt's Bees has just such a thing in their repertoire. I was really convinced to try when I saw their new volumizing product, "Very Volumizing Pomegranate & Soy Shampoo" on Drugstore.com.



I'm a big fan of the Pomegranate in general. Ever since Oprah and Rachel Ray hosted their Holiday Party, I look for Pomegranate Martinis on menus and am never disappointed. Those magical little tart seeds are fantastic (except for accident prone people wearing white)!



Likewise, I was not at all disappointed in this shampoo. While being sulfite free means that it won't lather up into a big George-Washington-like foam mass, it definitely cleans very well, it is lasting and lasting and lasting. (Scott and I usually go through a bottle of shampoo in a month . . . this bottle seems to be lasting for twice as long.) And, can I tell you how good my hair smells? I basically just sit here sniffing it all day.


So, if you get a chance, try this shampoo . . . or at least come smell my hair. :)

Tuesday Nights Rule!

I'm addicted to The Biggest Loser.



There's something about hearing Jerry say "Age is only a number" that gets me enthused. Of course, I would probably be more successful in my weight loss adventure if I would stop eating Pizza My Heart while being enthused. . . .


It really is the little things that get me through Mondays.

Guilty Pleasures of the Day

I will admit it. I love Shakira. And donuts. Equally. One is hip shaking goodness and the other causes hip (and stomach) jiggles. Today is my lucky day because I've had both of my guilty pleasures . . . and it's only 10AM! Let me describe.


On my drive in this morning, Live 105 was going off on Berkley hippies. I'll admit I enjoyed the cracks on "hippy law" but was getting a little tired of the anti-Bay Area rants. So, I changed channels to my second favorite morning show (Sara and No Name). Imagine my surprise and pleasure when I tuned into just in time to hear them have an impromptu dance party featuring this song:



I only THOUGHT my day couldn't get any better. But then, I ran into my co-worker, Buffy, who was carrying a box of Stan's Donuts . All I can say is Yum. I don't know that I will ever be able to eat Krispy Kreme again. I ate an old fashioned chocolate chip donut and it was out of this world! YUM! 100% worth having to wear a wedding muumuu .
