Every Day

The last couple of weeks have been good and bad. Here are the ups and downs: Work has been intense. Ive been working all night shifts, no time for developing my garden, planting more plants, mixing the compost or other office work. We have been busy. Its been good but also super exhausting. Im exhausted. It has given me hardly any time for myself. I want to exercise more but I'm too tired to get moving in the morning before my shift... On Wisconsin!!

Winning against Kentucky was super exciting and then the amazingly close game against Duke was great to watch. I was almost asleep at the bar last night but it was worth it. Shout out to the generator at Melt cause the power was out. Went out right as Ty and I finished cooking for Amber and Darren! (Burrito night!) The cats are super adorable. They come hang out by me a lot and the baby girl kitty loves to cuddle with me. ...

I really needed some face scrub and conditioner but have been putting them off because, what would be an 8 dollar face scrub in the states, is like 13 dollars here... no thank you. Today, I made my own face scrub. Ive never looked into doing that before because, well, Im lazy and I can buy good stuff for relatively cheap. I used coconut oil mixed with sugar and a little bit of cinnamon and honey. My face feels amazingly smooth and clean after using it! I may just be saving a ton of money for myself in the future! Also, a good body scrub? Just buy sea salt and take it in the shower with you. Ive been doing this for years and have noticed a positive change with my skin. Silky smooth softness. Having friends who live here is also a plus. Amber had a bunch of stuff that she inherited from friends who left the island ...
