Tuesday Things.
1. The highlight of the next two weeks of my life is dyeing easter eggs. I am not even kidding. LOVE.IT.
2. Freaking flipping over these cornmeal waffles with fried chicken. OMG.
3. As I mentioned yesterday, I did join snapchat over the weekend (as howsweeteats) and it literally took me all day to figure it out. I was staring at the screen like… wha.. how…? Having no idea what to touch. Well, I somewhat figured it out and shared a cherry chia smoothie on there this morning! Because now I think I’m cool. Is this app meant for 12 year olds who know technology?
4. You know how they say don’t go to the grocery store hungry? I went to the grocery store hungry.
5. Been wanting to try bulletproof coffee but tell me… do I need to buy the beans? They say I have to buy the beans. I don’t want to buy the beans. Too lazy to buy the beans.
6. I’m having a mini life crisis where I really miss my super long hair. It’s growing, but not as fast as I want it to. Wait. When does anything happen as fast as I want it to? #millennial #wearetheworst
7. You know my biggest pet peeve is being late… so this is basically my life every single day. Also… #7? I HAVE IT.
8. GIRLS sort of redeemed itself for me in the final episode. A leeeettle bit. Not a ton but I thought it was slightly better. I was super freaked out by this episode of the Walking Dead. Oh but I loved the little Carl bit! So cute. Is someone going to die next week? You know someone is going to die, I’m sure. UGH. Did you watch the new Netflix series Bloodline? I want to, but am trying to be a productive adult.
9. The daily inner monologue of a freelancer. Giggle giggle. Been THERE once.
10. Once a week or every other I’ve been doing the whole bath thing and I lay there and listen to podcasts. I’m too afraid I’ll drop a book in the water. But you know I listen to podcasts all the time anyway… and I sort of want to start my own. Where I would obviously just ramble about the most useless crap like TV and life and stuff, which is probably the number one thing NOT to do if you want to start a podcast. Maybe I’ve just been in infant land too long and need to get out?
11. Need: guilt free ways to parting with your stuff. Unclutter my life please!

Re: Bulletproof coffee. Did you see the recent post Ree did about it? I think she called it “Crazy Coffee”. Do you have to buy the actual beans or will this method work for any type coffee? Maybe try hers first?
ooooh i had no but i just looked now! it is similar and that’s probably how i would do it – i just keep reading how the so called health benefits are “in the beans.” WAH.
I don’t understand snapchat at alllllll!!!!!! And please, please, please start a podcast!
Speaking of growing your hair, I can’t remember if I warned you that around 4 months PP your hair will start falling out for a bit. Just warning you now in case I forgot!
oh gosh i KNOW, i’m dreading it!
I just followed you on snap chat to see your smoothie, because I just bought a blender yesterday! A few hints, you can move the text bar by just tapping somewhere that is not the middle, and it moves to where you tap it. And you can change the font by double clicking after you type. And you can write/draw on it if you click on the little pencil thing and then change the color. But so far, you haven’t sent any pictures of your nose, so you are doing better than my parents.
bahahaha THANK YOU!!! i posted a picture of max and it totally went over his whole face. i’m clueless.
PLEASE do a podcast! one of my favorite things about your blog is reading your tuesday things and random comments about mundane subjects!!!! :)
Um. You know we would listen to your podcast if you did one and FREAKING LOVE IT. I’mjustsayin’. Also, made my guy friend subscribe (is that the right lingo!?) to you on Snap Chat, so I could creep on you and not have to download the app and figure out how to use it.
Yes to a podcast!! :)
Walking Dead…my money is on Tyrese’s sister and Gabriel biting the dust this week. And I have a weird feeling about Carol, but maybe that’s just because she is creeping me out!! Talking Dead with Carl was great this week too!
I hadn’t heard of “Bloodline” but your post prompted me to look up the trailer–well now I can’t wait to get home and watch it!
I still have no clue what Snapchat is, haha! I am OLD!
omg I would so listen to your podcast!
OMG PLEASE DO A PODCAST!!!! OK, I’m done.
You don’t need to buy the special beans for bulletproof coffee! I just use my regular coffee with coconut oil and unsalted butter :).
I dont understand snapchat and can’t even bother to try ! lol My son is 11, and yes, he gets it. I don’t do facetime either because I really don’t need to see who I am talking to or for them to see me…Love that freelance article. So true and so funny.
Yes pur-lease do a podcast! The rambly bests are so the best….
TOTALLY do a podcast. I’ve never listened to one and not even really sure how, but I would totally listen to you!
PLEASE start a podcast. I only listen to about 20, but yours would jump right to the top. What are your favorites? Joy the Baker, The Lively Show, Dear Sugar, Call Your Girlfriend…those are some of my favorites just to name a few!
XOXO
PLEASE start a podcast!
Don’t bother with the beans unless you decide bulletproof coffee is super your jam. The deal with the beans is that bulletproof coffee’s “creator” claims that most mass-produced packaged coffee beans have something called mycotoxins growing on them, which he alleges is responsible for bitter taste and coffee jitters.
I’m an economist and not a scientist (my brother-in-law owns a roasting business and coffee shop in Seattle, though, so am I qualified by proximity?), but I’m 97% sure this is horse manure. So, put the butter and oil in your regular coffee and save your very valuable energy and money for baby stuff — and blog stuff.

Joe Rogan recently talked on his podcast how its been debunked… the whole “bulletproof coffee BEAN”… turns out the beans still have mycotoxins in them!
I have been drinking bulletproof coffee the past six months, and I really like it! It’s quite mild? However, it gets kind of expensive, a bag lasts about two weeks (at $25 a bag, this includes shipping)? I have recently discovered the organic Allegro Coffee at Whole Foods (the Chiapas blend) and I think it’s very comparable to the Bulletproof (and it’s $10 a bag!!).
I also purchased an aeropress to make my coffee, I am a HUGE fan of this aeropress. If this happens to show up as one of your March Beauty Favorites (because hello?? Coffee gives you energy to get beautiful) it would make my day. Thank you for putting together a consistent and amusing blog!!!
YESYESYES do a podcast. I don’t even know how to listen to podcasts but I’ll figure it out for this. (To clarify, I’m 26 not 86. I know.)
Please PLEASE do a podcast!!!! I don’t even really know what they are/how to really listen to them but I don’t care. I think you are absolutely hilarious! I am obsessed with your writing and humor and I think it would be even better through you talking out loud about your life.
***Just to clarify my obsession in a non-creepy way. More of an obsession in a way that I like to think of you as my virtual BFF where you give me advice and coach me through life/relationships/margarita making/beauty product buying and peanut butter brand selecting.
*****Again, I am really not that creepy and weird. I am just a big fan :)
What podcasts do u listen too? Would love some ideas
PLEASE start a podcast!! That would be so fun!! :D
PLEASE START A PODCAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Podcast?
yes.
100% yes
Pleeease start a podcast! I listen to podcasts ALL the time and my favourite episode ever was yours on the Lively Show! I’ve been loving your Snapchat updates too by the way :)
BULLETPROOF COFFEE:
Def. do NOT need to buy the beans… just buy quality beans Inot some shitty bean… i recommend finding a organic fair trade bean)…
but YOU HAVE TO buy the grassfed butter, that is the KEY part. Kerrygold is perfect, unless you can find a local farmer who sells grassfed butter. Add coconut oil too (but not too much or you’ll be in the bathroom….) and to make it even tastier, add cinnamon and nutmeg on top.
I SWEAR by bulletproof coffee, I love it so much. Wakes me up in the morning, keeps me full until lunchtime and I dont get that horrible coffee crash or the coffee jitters.
I totally agree with Dana!!! You do NOT need fancy beans. Trader Joes sells Kerrygold NO SALT butter. I use TJ coconut oil, Kerryb=gold no salt butter, trader joes coffee, trader joes vanilla, and local honey. MMMM!!!
You have to try to the coffee. I don’t buy beans and it is still amazing. Maybe I am missing the super amazing taste without the beans but I am lazy too!
Yessssssss please do a podcast! I’m totally obsessed with them and would love to listen to yours. What else do you listen to? I’d love new recommendations!
BLOODLINES! Its so good. I watched all 13 episodes in three days. Kyle Chandler = old man crush forever.
YESSS to the podcast idea!!!!
When you mentioned snapchat the other day, I was going to comment, but instead let out a huge groan. All I could think was, do I have to do snapchat too? And if SHE’S having trouble figuring it out, where is that going to leave me, the non-millenial who just figured out instagram and google+? Before the blog, I avoided most social media like the plague…now I’m overwhelmed with every medium and I’m not even on all of them! Argh!
On another note, I totally related to the being late thing. Trust me when I say you don’t want me in the passenger seat of your car if we leave the house later than we were “supposed” to….and with kids, you’ll find yourself going to early dinner at restaurants so that you don’t get stuck with a long wait while you try to entertain your starving children…
Podcast – yes! I would totally listen.
Also, I just hopped on the Invisibilia bandwagon. Really enjoying it.
You would have great podcasts! You were my favorite guest on The Lively Show podcast, so I’m sure you’d be amazing at your own! Go for it!
You do not need the special magical bulletproof beans for the coffee. I make bulletproof coffee every morning with my own beans. Those beans are expensive. YES! podcast please! Also, what are a few of your favorite podcasts? Please share
Please, please, PLEASE start a podcast! I love your rambles… seriously, it would be the best thing ever.
Ok, add me to the list of people who agree that you should do a podcast. I feel like you really are my invisible innernet bff. Big puffy pink hearts (meant in the most non-creepy, non-stalkerish way possible).
I HATE shopping hungry. Don’t hit 6 varieties of ice cream, though Talenti is to die!! I grab junk galore, and feel sorta guilty for a week. Do a podcast! Yes!! And updates on that adorable, precious, darling Max!!
Check into the supplement Biotin for hair growth! I guess it’s time I check out this whole snapchat thing…maybe. Definitely stopped watching GIRLS this season. Had to just make a clean break a few episodes in. I have also been meaning to try bullet proof coffee!!
Chiming in to cosign all podcast requests!!

The timing thing is ME to a T! I swear. The biggest fights I’d get into with my best friend in high school was how late she was (because I was always rudely early). Gah. Can’t help it!!!
I joined Snapchat last month and have NO idea what I am doing with it or like how/when to respond to people. It makes me feel so old.
Jessica, you don’t need to buy the beans. I bought the ground coffee for my husband and he has been pleasantly surprised with the taste and energy it gives him.
