Washing my face twice a day every day and always hyper conscious to make sure not to get my sleeves wet. I hate the feeling of wet sleeves. Constantly worrying about this makes the process tense and unenjoyable. This morning, I was wearing a bathrobe and my sleeves wouldnā€™t stay up. Normally when this happens, I am just sure to wash my face very carefully and try really hard not to get water on my sleeves, but today I decided I was tired of dreading this routine part of my day. I realized there was simply no reason I couldnā€™t enjoy washing my face. So I thought today, we will enjoy washing our face and embrace the wet sleeves. The water was warm on my face and quickly trickled down my arms, soaking my (very plush) bathrobe. It felt really nice to just relax and enjoy washing my face without caring about my sleeves. I had to ring out the sleeves after because they absorbed so much water lol. Maybe this is not relatable and I just have aggressive sensory issues, but it felt so nice to just not care about have wet sleeves for once!

I really love feeling clean. But I also hate falling asleep with wet hair. But I can also just wear a beanie in the morning. And I know I wonā€™t shower tomorrow if I put it off tonight. I want to feel clean.

I have taken showering in the comfort of my own home for granted. I started going to the gym recently and I find that the only way I can remain consistent is if I go first thing in the morning. Which means I go straight to work right after. Which means I have to shower in the locker room. Which means I only shower at home when I donā€™t go to work directly after the gym, so Saturday and Sunday. Surely, I could just ā€œtake another showerā€ if I wanted the comfort of my own shower so bad throughout the week. However, not only is that more effort and time wasted, but also, the wait until the weekend to treat myself to a home shower releases a sort of euphoric catharsis. Taking a dump naked and immediately hopping into the shower. The smell of EOS Pink Champagne body wash emanating through the steamy bathroom. Sky Ferreira shower curtain watching my bare butt as I brush my hair and perform my skin care routine. These are the sort of experiences you can only get twice a week.

It always feels like itā€™s going to be wayyy more debilitating than it actually is. Itā€™s funny because in the moment itā€™s so frustrating and I beat myself up like wow Iā€™m so impatient why didnā€™t I just wait like great now my tongue is going to feel weird/hurt for the next few days blah blah blahā€¦ but I swear like 30 minutes later I completely forget about it. Itā€™s funny because it doesnā€™t even hurt that badly, Iā€™m just usually upset by the inconvenience it presumably will cause for the next few days, but I actually canā€™t remember a time when it has lasted more than a few hours. A good reminder that we tend to remember the bad things in life way more than the good things (negativity bias), which cause our anxieties to become heightened in preparation for when we think bad things might take place, but more often than not, nothing bad happens, or if it does, itā€™s not that bad. Try to focus on the good!

I hate protein bars usually, the chalkiness is so gross and it feels like Iā€™m eating to survive rather than eating to enjoy. Iā€™ve tried sooo many different protein bars and I swear none are good EXCEPT Mezcal Bars. Iā€™m actually obsessed with them, and they are even vegan!! They call themselves ā€œpuff-crispyā€ bars because they are made of puffed pea crisps that give it the crispy texture and 10g of protein. I know itā€™s not like a ton of protein but itā€™s still way better than eating just a granola bar. My favorite is the pistachio flavor and the maple blueberry flavor. I get them at whole foods and they are a bit pricey, as all bars are, but Iā€™ve put sooo many people onto these. They are so good to just carry around in your bag incase you get hungry or someone around you starts getting hangry.
