RTT got a bit bloated this week, so I am breaking it into two posts! Today’s is beauty, travel, and random categories, tomorrow’s is fitness, physical health, and mental health categories.

  • Mani update from last week!


  • Both of the German friends I’m meeting up with on our Europe trip have said their kids really want to meet me, and I am absolutely honored! How sweet that a child thinks I would be a fun hang. Not sure that is accurate, but very sweet (and I’d love to meet them!).
  • I’m getting my balayage updated today! Since I’m such a n00b I had no idea what to book and booked the whole process then realized I only need something called a “single process” for touchups. Always learning. Sometimes retaining.
  • I didn’t realize the tumbler I got at the WWM holiday party was a knockoff Stanley. I didn’t even know Stanleys were a thing until I’d had it for a few weeks! Then I kind of felt like a weird poser having one, and didn’t want people to think I was someone who had to have a Stanley (I have legit been using the same style of Rubbermaid water bottle for YEARS until I got this) but I really like using it. So whatever. And feeling weird didn’t stop me from getting a cute nameplate for mine when I saw the other ladies at the gym do it! Much better than the washi tape I’d put on the handle to distinguish mine.

  • My brain no worky. I asked for new towels for Christmas and received them, then realized I didn’t ask for enough, so ordered more, then realized I didn’t ask for bath mats, then ordered those, then washed the ones new ones I had and went to put them in the bathroom and realized the color only goes with one of our bathrooms and I need to order a different color for the other one. So I have to exchange a lot of what I ordered. Oops.
  • Also, I had to call and rework some of our Europe flights and got confused and messed up one of them and now we are stuck with a four hour layover (I wanted a shorter one) because I was confused on the phone. It costs $1000 each to shorten the layover by 1.5 hours. No thanks.
  • I am absolutely loving Nathan Hill’s book Wellness but did not realize it’s sooooooooooo long! Over 600 pages! It’s taking me forever to read! My loan expired and I had to turn off the wifi on my Kindle to keep going. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
