A Few of My Favorite Things

yoga_sunrise

I fell in love with Yoga all over again today. I also fell in love with Netflix streaming movies because I can stream various workout DVD’s like Yoga and Pilates and stop them and re-start them as often as I like, and I can always switch it up, so as not to get bored with the same old videos over and over again.

I also fell in love with Quinoa chips today. Yummy! I had bought a bag at Big Lots (1) for my birthday gathering, and today I toasted a few in the toaster oven with a little bit of cheese and dipped them in organic black bean salsa. They were extremely crisp, and not too greasy, which tends to be my issue with tortilla chips.

I had grandeur ideas of doing something extremely creative today, but ended up just researching the reasons I should or should not become a Mary Kay Consultant. Any thoughts? The prospect of having extra money to put in to starting the non-profit I’ve always dreamt of creating is motivating, but the fear of getting wrapped up in a pyramid scheme makes me very very hesitant. Plus, I feel like Mary Kay stands for everything that I don’t. Pretty, Pink, frilly, submissive, etc. etc. etc.

Could someone please direct me to a feminist writer who has published a stance on Mary Kay? Just curious. Or perhaps I could start a sub-blog about the femi-nazi who became a Mary Kay Consultant… Hmmm…

Footnotes:

1- Big Lots is a perfectly acceptable place to shop for edible products as long as you always always always check the expiration date. I have heard horror stories about rotten or moldy food, but my experience has been that anything with an expiration date in the future tastes just as good as that which you would buy in a grocery store.
