This past week has been crazzzzzzzzy.

Like, some serious madness.

Between a quick trip up to LA, TSC book launch ( eek! ), working on an exciting blog collaboration, & getting an annoying-ass cold, I’m pooped.

I found myself returning e-mails at 3:00 am last Monday & realized it was time for a break.

& LA sounded like the perfect lil getaway.

Michael took me to the most charming hotel, Petite Ermitage which has a very European-like feel. And honestly, the upstairs Butterfly Bar menu was so avant-garde. Some of my favorite picks: Maine lobster/arugula salad, medium sized oysters, salmon with sliced avocado & mangos, and fresh pressed juices.Yum, right?

Although I was still bound to my computer, somehow being out of the house was calming & relaxing.

Anyway I look forward to tomorrow’s launch & sincerely hope you all love TSC book!!

So. After making fun of Michael, I got sick.

Ya.

Let the good times roll.

Sooo. I spent the majority of the weekend holed up like a nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy-head little biotch.

FML.

BUT!! Let it be known: I still got work done; I took Pixy on a walk, cleaned the house, did laundry, returned a zillion e-mails, & did a lil Blog-Doo photo shoot ( oh, the difference between men & women…cough, cough, Michael ).

Annndd today was the first day back at the gym…ok, so weigh in on this one: my trainer, Mike says as long as you’re sick from the neck up, it’s ok to workout. If you’re sick from the neck down, you shouldn’t be sweatin’…at all.

Here’s my thing: I think it’s fine to go to the gym when you’re starting to feel better, but is it necessary to come to gym super sick?

Like, if you have Swine flu, do me a fav & stay home. Because no Purell is going to fix that shit.

Anyway hope you’re all drinking lots of lemon water, taking wellness herb drops, & staying the F away from anyone who’s sick.

Sniff.

Something that reallllllllyyyyy bugs: hateful, mean comments on social media.

It seems like the more followers you have on Instagram, the more hateful comments.

The other day I signed on to Instagram to see a top blogger getting annihilated in the comment section.

I just don’t get it…if someone doesn’t have anything nice to say, then why say anything at all?

If I don’t like what’s someone’s promoting on social media, I’ll ignore it or unfollow that person.

It’s real simple.

Like, is it necessary to say “just die,” “you’re a fat pig,” &/or “eww you ugly B.”

Ultimately I would never go out of my way to write something hurtful. It’s a total waste of time & it’s combative…and just plain hateful.

At the end of the day, it’s like, uhhh, please find a hobby besides being mean to famous people on Instagram.

Point: negativity breeds negativity. Positive vibes always win in my book.

I mean…right?

Thoughts? Opinions?

Ok, rant over.

The other day my friend, Jackie, sent me an article on “20 Things Mentally Strong People Do.” Sooooo after reading through the article, I realized my top two strengths & top two weaknesses.

Ok, so bear with me…a little self-reflection going on tonight—

Strengths:

So this weekend I totally realized I’m that person.

You know that person AKA that annoying food snob.

The kinda snob that dies a little inside when around nasty-ass, chemical food/drinks/products.

Like, I’m a pain the ass.

The other day I went to see a friend’s new home & this spilled outta my big-ass mouth as I was leaving:

“Such a cute place! So happy for you! Die over that couch! By the way, those water bottles, ya those ones over there, have BPA in them. Buy new ones. K, love you, ciao!”

This is real life.

That happened.
