Tuesday Things.
1. I have been in a weird funk for a week and yesterday, it was sunny and 60 degrees! We spent an hour outside and it changed so much.
2. Cannot even handle how the gorgeousness of this clementine pavlova.
3. The celery juice craze is pretty much my worst nightmare. But I want all the benefits! Have you tried it?
4. TV things! I did really like a Million Little Things but I haaaate that they are dragging out this one thing. I don’t know how the story moves forward without it but now we’re getting into ridiculous territory, right? Can I also just say that I hate that it’s on Thursdays. Ha! I really liked having it on Wednesday nights as it broke up the week. My life is so exciting, clearly. Also! Should I watch Russian Doll?
5. I thought the entire Super Bowl and halftime show were a snoozefest, but did you have any favorite commercials? I love the one with the retired and current NFL plays, along with the Harrison Ford + Amazon one. Eddie was excited about the Sarah Michelle Gellar one – she’s his forever crush.
6. Very interested in Marie Kondo’s skincare routine.
7. I forgot to mention it in my January favorites, but my SIL got me a weighted blanket for Christmas and we.are.obsessed. I mean, I think Eddie, Max and I all fight over it every weekend. When Max takes a nap, he’s like “mama get the heavy blanket.” It’s super awesome.
8. Oooh! So you don’t have to wake up at 4am to be successful!?
9. Speaking of that, what does success mean to you? I’m super curious.

I keep hearing more and more people talking about weighted blankets and am so intrigued! I think my husband would love them—do you mind me asking which brand your sister in law got you? There’s so many options out there!
I agree! My husband would love one, and I’ve looked, but with all the options out there I am nervous to get one that isn’t “good quality”. If you don’t mind sharing, it would be nice to have an option that has been tried and loved! :)
hi guys! the brand she got me is baloo! it is so awesome.
3.) Please don’t fall for that garbage – it’s your real life friend here looking out for you.
9.) Balance in physical, mental and spiritual wellness. How’s that for a hippy-dippy (and honest) response? 😂🔮
best response ever!
Well success is certainly not celery juice. That I can assure you.
dying… AGREED!!! hahahaha
I share the celery sentiment. I cannot even fathom drinking celery juice. No way, no how.
i know. eeeek.
I am on the celery juice band wagon!!! But the first day I did just celery and it was awful!!!! So I now add an Apple, a kiwi, 1/2 cucumber, and some pineapple spears and it is amazing and now getting benefits from the other fruit as well. My juicer broke recently and am waiting on the replacement and I can really see and feel a difference not juicing every morning. My stomach is back to being bloated and I got a pimple 🙁🙁 Definitely recommend trying it out!!!!!
i could definitely handle it with other fruit. what juicer did you get to replace? i used to juice but they are such a nightmare to clean everyday!
I have an Omega J8006 juicer, it takes about 30 minutes to prep veggies/fruit, juice, and clean. And I’m making enough for 2 people. Yes, it is annoying to clean, but I’ve seen juicers with more pieces, so mine isn’t too bad.
I can’t imagine a worse life for me than getting up at 4am everyday to drink celery juice.
HA! No kidding! Throw in some talk about politics and that’s the ninth circle of hell.
you are my people. agree.
hahahahaha – love this comment
Good commercial of all of the athletes really good!
Sarah Jessica Parker eh,
Half time music thing eh…Yes, Sarah Michelle Geller, I am a total Buffy fan!
I even named my last car Spike…..it was a Kia Soul….get it….vampire with a Soul…spike?!
By the way, I haven’t watched a super bowl or a football game since 1986!
Big Pats fan!
eddie is a huge buffy fan!! :)
Oh, this a good one ….how do you measure success?
My older sister measures it by how much money you are making, but I always say
it’s how happy you are and that you enjoy what you’re doing.
I mean, I have food on my table, I own a very nice home, my kids, my husband and I have our health,
I have two nickels to rub together….in a jar by the door. Ya
i love this!!! xoxoxo
Oh gosh, I’m in the minority here…but celery juice has been life changing for me, mainly in easing anxiety, depression/etc. I’ve been on it for about 7 weeks and I feel STILL…just calm & zen. And trust me, I wouldn’t have believed it either😂😂😂😂
But all celery is NOT created equal!!! Funny enough, Walmart celery is the best! Trader Joe’s organic?? UNBEARABLE!😝😝😝😝
really?! this is so interesting that it’s not all the same! haha!!
Do you know where she got the weighted blanket from? I want one so badly, but am not sure which one to get and I keep being indecisive about it.
the brand is baloo! i believe she got it off their website in a black friday deal?
Celery juicing? No. Not happening. It would interfere with my love of all that is poutine. So no. Nope. Nada. Ain’t happening.
I don’t know how I measure success. Something to think about. After my horrific, long drawn out divorce, I measure success by being able to get out of bed every morning, feeding my kids and asking myself at the end of the day, “are we ok?”. Usually it is a “yup”. Emphasis on usually.
i think that is so wonderful though. that’s what REALLY matters, you know?
I’m a Pittsburgher also in a funk, but it’s this week. Honestly I think these warm days have thrown me off and it’s like I’m not ready for spring and summer to emerge. I have young children and winter is a time of “rest” and I don’t want to give that up yet.
I tried the celery juice about 2 years ago before all this started. I tried to put stevia in it to choke it down. It wasn’t awful but also wasn’t something i’d drink because it tastes good. I donated my juicer : )
it must be the weather! it is really getting to me now, especially with the rain!
Just read the article on Marie Kondo’s skincare routine.The article mentions that she wears eyelash extensions. Within the article is a link to another article about eyelash extensions…pros/cons, how to’s, etc. Interesting info and within that article is a link to info about eyelash boosters…which ones work and why and what to be cautious of. I love articles that have links that lead to more interesting info. There were also links to articles relating to best mascaras and best eyelash curlers…all from The Cut.
love this!!
My husband & I wanted to watch one episode of Russian Dolls last night….8 episodes later! We absolutely loved it!
We’ve never binge watched a complete series in one evening before.
It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it was different from anything we’ve ever seen.
awesome, thanks debbi!
We just finished Russian Doll – I thought it was meh.
xo Julese
good to know, thanks jules!
OMG, I’m upset A Million Little Things moved from Wednesdays too! I’m also still made Law & Order SVU moved from Wednesdays to Thursdays this season. Now I have so much stuff to watch on Hulu on Fridays, but nothing during the week! lol
To me, success is freedom to choose! Time and environment are everything to me, so I’m very conscious about how I choose to be with both of them. What about you?
Success is being the hell asleep at 4 a.m!
Success for me is all about progress and growth. And freedom, doing my own thing. For a long time, I really wanted to have this really gorgeous house, and throw receptions/go into lobbying (I was currently managing legislative affairs for a company). Then, I got real, and realized I didn’t like throwing parties that much, was a introvert, and didn’t like selling other people’s products/ideas. I just wanted to do my own thing, and have freedom and a certain amount of anonymity.
Autumn Calabrese had posted on instagram stories that glutamine has the same benefits as celery juice 🤷♀️
