You Won't Bee-lieve What Worked for Me

source You know how women older than you would always say "just you wait" referring to menopause?  (Heck, perimenopause wasn't even discussed or considered real 20+ years ago!) "Wait for what?" you wondered. Eluding that it was so much more than hot flashes but never telling you what that was.  Well I'm here to warn you up and comers what one of those things is...pit stank.  That's a big one they don't warn you about with fluctuating hormones in your 30's-50's depending on when perimenopause hits you.   They don't tell you how your tried and true deodorant  will fail you within hours if you're lucky and will need to be reapplied.  Don't even bother with the clinical versions that used to work for you because the hormonal hellscape that has become your body now laughs at them.  Natural deodorants you used to use on light loafing around the house days?   source Because you still want people in your household to want to sit near y...

Monday already eh?

Happy Monday all!

We road tripped to the Mr's hometown Saturday and it went by in a flash.  It was nice to see snow since I doubt we're getting any more of measurable degrees.  I was jealous of the New England's noreaster but I saw by Sunday the covered trails in Vermont were already melty so that was short lived.  We went to a vintage store and saw some cool stuff.

Being a font nerd, I loved this and it reminded me of print shop in high school.


It was kind of fitting seeing this Hawaiian tiki bar.  If we had the room, it would so be ours.


I fell in love with this old school Flair stovetop.  That thing even has the owners manual!  So cool!



We ate too much and were both kind of ticked that we gained this week for no reason so we got that crappy feeling of "screw it, we were super good, listened to our bodies, drank our water, etc and got nothing for it."  I know, great attitude, right but there it is.  Stranger things have happened when we've done that so I'm not even sweating it at this point.  Can't do anything about it anyway.

Sunday the Mr woke up with a horrible headache.  I tried everything I could to help him from massage, heating pad, peppermint/jojoba oil for the pain, (affiliate links) a nice brunch and eventually, he had to go to one Excedrin and a nap.   We had to get more fruits for the week and then workout. and before we knew it the day was gone. 

What did you guys do this weekend?

    I had a great time in the old hometown but, yeah, it sure did go by fast this time. What's funny is we ended up being there later than usual too and it still all went flying by. Thanks for helping me nurse that awful headache. Made Sunday kind of a wash but getting out for a walk was just what I needed.

    I spent a lot of time playing catch-up. Between routine medical appointments and sponsoring a field trip I was ont at work Thursday or Friday. I sure paid for it this weekend. I did have a girls' night Saturday and taught a swimming lesson on Sunday. Both were really nice.

    I'm glad you enjoyed Saturday, and I hope the Mr's headache is completely gone today.

    That stove is awesome! What a fun place to browse and buy. I had a really good meeting on Saturday, then finished up some paperwork, did a load of laundry, then to my ultimate delight binge-watched almost 5 hours of Who's Line is it Anyway and laughed myself silly, which felt really good. Sunday I had breakfast with a friend of mine, then we went grocery shopping, did more laundry, and romped around with the dogs. Not the best "mental" weekend, but getting those laughs in really made a difference.
