Bath Salts, IKEA Things, Hair Ties

Monday, January 23rd, 2012 | 69 Comments

A sort of hodgepodge of images. This weekend was pretty bleak with snow and ice since Friday night. Even getting to work this morning was ice-crap-tastic. So I just want to post a few catch-up photos.

At New Year’s I ordered a restock of a ton of sweat baths plus some of the new Bison bath salts. Got them at imomoko.




Reordered a lot of my favorites plus a few new ones to try.


Also wanted to share what I did with that IKEA stuff I bought for my cubicle. Keep in mind I work in an older government building where the main colors include maroon, brown, and gray. The stuff I got helped spruce it up a bit I think. I’m really happy with it and if I ever get tired of it this stuff will fit into my home decor easily!



I wish the photos had come out better but florescent lighting just sorta kills everything. Mostly my work materials are on the top shelf and in the magazine files. I now have my tea in the rose containers. I cleared away a lot of old work documents and put them into proper drawers leaving room for photo frames and a bit more open space. Seeing a stack of papers all the time was really a downer. Clutter can feel like such bad energy sometimes. So putting them up, away in file cabinets, was long overdue.


Lastly, these Emi-Jay hair ties!

I bought these over a month ago… I LOVE THEM. I got them at South Moon Under. They’re perfect. They don’t pull my hair when removing but still stay in place for high ponytail looks. I usually get headaches quickly from having my hair pulled back, these don’t give me bad headaches at all. Not to mention they’re lovely aesthetics. They’re sweet to wear around the wrist as an emergency hair fix!

I picked up the “METALLIC COLLECTION” version. I would actually purchase another pack. So far they really last. The ends are fraying just a little on the silver one which I wear the most but they’re secure and wouldn’t need replacing very often. I felt sorta stupid at first spending $12 on hair ties but looking back it was totally worth it and I’d do it again. Actually I’ll probably pick up more eventually!

IKEA Gets

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 | 36 Comments

Sunday night I went to IKEA and picked up a few things for my office. Yeah, my cubicle. A few months ago I sort of purged my cube of all decor in a sort of MUST DE-CLUTTER TO THINK way. But now it feels cold and I really want it to be a warmer space. A la Korean office goods or sorta zakka trend style. Besides if I change my mind later or something I love everything I got and can use it at home!





The little finger bowls are perfect for emptying my 100 calorie packs into. Makes the snack seem to last longer than just eating them out of the bag like an uncontrollable cookie monster. The KNUBBIG is a small table lamp. I plugged it in today on my desk. It gives it such a cozier atmosphere and it’s nice having some extra light that isn’t from giant overhead florescent bulbs. And the faux greenery… greenery is so good to have surrounding you even if it’s fake, haha.


Monday the contractors finished with the repairs. Now my house smells like new paint but that should air out soon. It’s actually so mild tonight I have the window open for ventilation!

I spent the 8 hours they were here to gather items for a donation drive ran by the Lupus Foundation! They accept nearly everything! From clothing to housewares. You then schedule a pickup (I did it online) and they’ll pick it up for donation. It’s wonderful and a great excuse to finally let go of things you know are still in great condition but you have no use for it. They take the items and sell them raising funds for the foundation.
