Tuesday Things.
1. Chalk definitely counts as part of my stationary obsession. Even if I hate using these because it takes away their shape perfection.
2. Going wild over this glam rock layer cake. HOW FUN.
3. Tell me about the sushi burrito. I really like sushi but it just looks like… too much.
4. I have this totally weird thing where I hate the feeling of drinking out of glass. I need to use a straw or I have to drink out of plastic. Is it only me? Strange sensory things.
5. There is a PINK MACBOOK. I need to drop everything and buy this immedaitely.
6. Technically I’m not watching anything on TV right now besides Nashville, but I support Eddie’s Game of Thrones habit. Even if I have to read full recaps after every episode to understand. As for Nashville, it’s okay but I hate what they are doing with the daughter! And I’m still watching The Catch and just loving it. So fun.
7. Beyonce’s Lemonade. Love? Like? Dislike? Discuss. The drama surrounding it is insane.
8. How to fill 7 moments of wasted time in your day. Adore these. For me, car rides = productivity podcasts.
9. Are you planning a vacation this summer? Share please, where to go.

I hate drinking out of glass too! I can if it is a thicker glass (like a mason jar) but I think drinking from glass tastes funny. I prefer to drink out of porcelain or plastic or just drink through a water bottle/straw.
I have the same weird thing with glass! I only use plastic cups or straws. However, I prefer beer out of a glass bottle. Explain that one. =)
um. I can’t get over how much I really think you’re my long lost sister. a) I hate drinking out of cups – my mom makes fun of me because I drink from the side, I think it’s a sensitivity thing (I LOVE super cold water but my front teeth don’t) b) my boyfriend already emailed me about the rose gold MacBook because I’ve been saying for MONTHS that I’m going to drop everything and buy it when it comes out (I’m also a marketer’s dream as you say) c) your TV comments are spot on d) I’m going home to RI for a summer vacay!
My sister and I first heard of sushi-burritos when we were planning a trip to San Fran last year and got super excited. We love sushi and burritos, why not combine the two? When we got there, the expectation WAY OUTWEIGHED the reality. The best part about sushi is that you get a perfect bite, with a little bit of everything, every time. The sushi-burrito was less sturdy than one made of tortilla and just felt like you were shoving your face into raw fish. Not elegant. Not tasty. My sister couldn’t even eat hers. For this one, trust me, stick with the classics.
K thought I was the only one about the glass thing. I’ve been holding it in for years thinking people would think I was crazy. I LIKED Lemonade. It was good. I didn’t love it & am not sure yet if I think it’s the wonderful piece of art people are claiming. However loved Beyonce’s countryesque song & have saved it on my DVR to watch repeatedly to make a better decision. Also wondering why all music artists aren’t releasing visual albums. Love the concept.
Vacation: thinking New Orleans or Colorado??
I hate when my colored pencils lose their shape! Sharpening them just isn’t the same as a fresh pack of new colored pencils. We are going to Hershey Park at the end of june for a few days and I think boston for a weekend again later in the summer!
ummmm…so the glam rock layer cake…am I the only one concerned about what the black frosting would do to the poop? kind of like when you eat blue frosting or red velvet cake?
I would still eat a piece though. It looks amazing.
Your comment about drinking out of a glass is so funny! I am the exact opposite…I cannot STAND drinking out of plastic and it has to be glass!
I guess I’m the odd one out…..I only like drinking out of glass, plastic gets the soap taste from the dishwasher ech!Â
 Oh yes but I only like coffee out of paper and tea out of thin porcelain.
Black tongue, lip’s and mouth! Must be really chocolaty and goooooood!
The new box of Crayola’s ……need I say more.
Oh yes, my husband wants to do a cross country trip with the girls before they get too old.
Sushirittos can be really good, but its tough because if they aren’t then that’s a lot of the same thing. The amount of rice is a little overwhelming as well. I like little bites better because I don’t realize how much rice I’m eating!

Sushi burritos — I’m not a huge fan of that much seaweed, but I ate at buredo in DC with my little brother and really did enjoy the Elle, a tofu sushi burrito. Â Sushi Fuku has them in PGH, but even though one of them is a block from my office I’ve never tried theirs! Â
I’m so with you on the drinking out of plastic instead of glass! I thought I was the only one!
And we’ve rented a house for a week in rehobeth beach, Delaware. First time taking both babies to the shore!
I’m
hoping I can convince my fiance to vacation in Minneapolis this summer, I have family that moved there from Michigan and they love it! So many breweries and good food and shopping and big city feels with small town vibes. I need to check it out.
I know you love beauty products, and now I also know you love podcasts. Are you listening to Fat Mascara yet? It’s a beauty podcast by two editors at Marie Claire and Cosmo. It’s like chatting with your friends about your favorite lipstick. (I’m not employed by this podcast, haha! I just recommend it to anyone I think would enjoy it because I love it!)

First, Sushirrito’s in San Francisco is AMAZING and I totally thought the sushi burrito thing would be way too much, but it’s just like a portable roll….with endless customization opportunities!
Second, traveling to Switzerland for my cousin’s wedding in August and CAN NOT WAIT. :)
LOL I am the exact same way when it comes to drinking out of a glass. I can do if it’s like a glass of ice water, but iced coffee I just can’t. I started making your cold brew coffee recipe to help my addiction (and the expense!) of getting iced coffees from Starbucks every day…but its not the same. I miss holding that plastic cup and straw, it tastes better in that cup. (I sound crazy I know). So I started saving my Starbucks cups (just a few at a time, I’m not a hoarder), washing them and then using your cold brew recipe to make an iced coffee in them. Sounds super weird but maybe…you get me?
I reaally want to try the sushi burritos! I am so intrigued by them, and there’s a place near me that has them. Someday I will get my butt over there.Â
My boyfriend and I are going to Tulum, Mexico next month! It looks like heaven, so excited. Apparently there is an amazing mojito bar, that will be the first stop for sure.Â
Those sushi burritos seem like a project. I can’t go there. Seems like A LOT of food. Maybe splitting one with someone would make it less overwhelming?Â
I drink my Tervis full of ice water that I keep next to me at all times with a straw. Must have straws for cold beverages at all times. The only thing I will drink out of a glass is cold brew coffee or juice. Even that is rare since I am a child and cannot be trusted with a lidless cup. ;)Â
Full on obsessed with all things Beyonce so I am all about Lemonade. I watched it 4 times over the weekend, signed up for the free Tidal trial so I can stream it, and bought it as soon as it was released on iTunes. I like it. I dig the whole visual album concept. That song “Hold Up”? Summer jam. I love that video too. The bat’s name is HOT SAUCE. Heh.Â
I ALWAYS have to have a straw with a glass. I like make it a point to ask the server for one if he/she forgets. You definitely need to try the sushi burrito – it’s so good!! We’re going to Iceland next month!
Summer destination: The beaches of British Columbia.Â
I prefer plastic cups to glass as well. Â I have these cheap tumblers that I bought at the grocery store a million years ago that are my fave. Â My husband thinks I’m crazy because he would NEVER (not ever) choose plastic over glass. Â I also like ice cubes in my milk…in my plastic glass.
Yay , I’m not alone ! I thought no one else had an aversion to drinking out of glass. I absolutely prefer plastic or if I have to drink out of glass, straw please !
The sushi burrito…. Where do I start. I think its just one of those viral foods that get trendy but will never set its foot on the map. Already seen quite some eateries that jumped on the trend and are now closed. Don’t wanna sound like a hater, but I just don’t believe in the “sushirrito” or the sushi burger :/
I’m the opposite– I cannot STAND drinking out of plastic. It makes my skin crawl. Glass or china is preferred. Â I’m such a snob!!Â
I’ve been loving podcasts on my car rides. I’d love to hear some of your favorites.Â
Loved Lemonade. I think it is about much more than Jay Z (could it be about her own marriage? possibly, but I’m not convinced that it definitely is). I’ve really enjoyed reading others’ interpretations of it. I think these articles make strong cases that it is about black female empowerment, including the idea that black women aren’t just held down by white people, but by black men as well. That black women have found themselves in a culture that expects them to stick by their man no matter what and not complain, and if they do complain they are automatically labeled with the “angry black woman” stereotype. Interesting stuff. 1) http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/25/opinions/beyonce-lemonade-cane/index.html 2) http://time.com/4306316/beyonce-lemonade-black-woman-magic/ 3) http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/apr/25/beyonce-lemonade-jay-z-infidelity-emotional-project-depths 4) http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/04/lemonade-beyonce-review-sex-relationships-gender-jay-z/479643/?utm_source=SFFB
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. LOVED Lemonade. Think it is absolutely incredible and one of the most powerful things I’ve seen/heard in a long time. Please watch it. Seriously. I’ve literally been watching it on repeat for the last few days. (And you can get a free trial of tidal and then cancel…it’s also a few places on Facebook, they keep taking the links down but if you search you might find one that works.)
I read a lot of those articles before watching, which I think is a good idea because it helped me understand so much more of it. I was especially moved by number 3 up there! Do it do it. It also just has some kickass music, in addition to all of the serious power and amazingness. I’m obsessed with “Hold Up,” “Sorry,” and “Sandcastles.” And “Daddy Lessons.”
ALSOOOOOO I’ve been wondering the same thing about sushi burritos. I don’t think I could do it.
Yesssssss! I’m obsessed with Lemonade. I thought it was beautiful, empowering, and hopeful.I wonder if the people who don’t get the “art” part of it, maybe didn’t watch it? I loved it. But I watched it first, so I don’t know if I would be as obsessed if I didn’t have the visual of Beyonce in that Yellow dress busting windows with a baseball bat. I can’t stop singing the songs. I have dreamt about it a few times this week. I thought it was amazing. And I think Beyonce is amazing.Â
I don’t have a huge problem drinking out of glass, but I much prefer plastic or something with a straw FOR SURE. I don’t know if it’s the weight of the glass or what. Also, drinking out of a straw makes me drink SO much water!Â
So I’ll admit I haven’t watched Lemonade yet. Waiting for things to die down a bit. However, am I allowed to say that this whole Becky thing makes me super uncomfortable. Like goodness!!Â
Portland Vacation! Â I’ve been on this Candida Cleanse thing (heard of it? you pretty much just eat vegetables and hate your life) and so we’re going on a bit of an eating, drinking, caffeine fueled vacation. Â I can’t wait. Â If you’ve ever been or have any recommendations I would very much appreciate it!!
Also, we’re from Vancouver, BC and don’t have to go far to relax, so on the summer bucket list: Tofino (amazing: http://www.tourismtofino.com), staycation weekends with hikes, donuts and coffee, some local camping in this guy (http://www.vintageadventures.ca/) and Whistler/Squamish. Â
Also! Since Vancouver is the land of sushi, I gotta say the sushi burrito is pointless. Â If I’m going to a restaurant just give me the sushi – none of this rice filler. Â Although at home for quick dinners I often make nori rolls which is essentially a lazy sushi burrito – I just throw whatever veggies we have on a sheet of nori paper with usually some hummus, wasabi, avocado, tuna, salmon, chicken, kewpie mayo, maybe even some sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, cooked yams, literally whatever, and roll it up. Â Voila. Sushi burrito and all my random fridge leftovers are gone.Â
Traveling to Greece this summer — island hopping between Santorini, Mykonos and possibly a few others. Couldn’t be more excited for fresh seafood and the beach!Â
Same like me, I too hate the use of chalk as it spoils the skin condition and texture. Join the club!!! :-D
I definitely prefer drinking out of a water bottle as apposed to a glass (plastic or glass) unless it’s wine… then I definitely need a wine glass sans straw :)
I am not all “OMG BEY QUEEN SLAY!,” but I do like a few songs on it. I honestly haven’t been reading all about the drama so far. I guess I should, but I’m just taking it as face value catchy music. I’m too under-rested this week to get deep about stuff, I think! Maybe that’s it.
I sometimes like coffee from a regular mug. Other times I’m in the mood for it in a travel mug. Why does it taste different to me in different vessels???
we are traveling to Seattle and Vancouver! have you ever been before? looking for a foodie who has some good places to check out. i have been obsessed with all your facebook page posts lately!
Ugh so glad someone else agrees about Nashville. I hate this storyline! So frustrating!
