It's the Little Things

Yesterday I got my office in order, today I got my home in order. Unpacked, cleaned, got groceries, all that good stuff. I am generally not too stuck on any habits or routines, I'm quite flexible. But I did realize today that there are some little things I really did miss, and appreciate having back now:



My favorite Olay lotion for my face at night. Sadly, over 3 oz. sized jar.



Having a shower which is above my head, not requiring me to scrunch down to Asian-person size or cheap-hostel shower height.



My bedtime snack. And afternoon snack. And studying pick-me-up. Oh, come on, chocolate is Nature's cure-all.... :)

And in the spirit of the little things, when I took my shower today I did I very empowering thing. I tossed out my bottle of body wash. I was only 1/4 of the way through the bottle, but I hated the scent. I was only using that soap because I paid good money for it - all of $4, I think. But life is too short to be cringing when you reach for the soap...



Now I get to buy myself some much better-smelling body wash. I might spend all of $10 this time - look out!

  1. I traveled a lot last year for interviews, etc. and didn't want to check bags so I invested in some smaller containers to put my regular products in for travel (for products that don't make travel-size). I definitely think it was worth it to have my favorite products with me.

  2. Haha, my husband just got back from a trip to an Asian country a few days ago, and spent about 20 minutes in the shower in our house. Apparently, he had to take all of his Asian showers on his knees. Ouch.
