Moment #92-Listening to Audiobooks

10/18/2019

 
Listening to Audiobooks makes me happy.  I get most of my books from ​Audible.com

Here are a few that I've read that I loved:
Just FYI, I may get a percentage of the sales of any of these books from Amazon.  Either way, you will not be charged anything.  It just gives me an opportunity to share what I like.

Moment #91- Expensive words

4/10/2018

 
 Remember that time in elementary school when your teacher gave you a list of 15-20 vocabulary words that you had to look up, write the definition and then spell in a test at the end of the week?  I HATED those assignments.  Writing took forever and I wasn't very good at spelling.  But, now I think to myself: those were the easiest homework assignments I ever had!   My God, all we had to do was look them up in a dictionary, use them in a sentence, and then remember how they were spelled!  Are you kidding me!?!  AND--It's even easier to do now because dictionary.com will look up the definition for you!! 

Everyone once in a while I like to bone up on some words I haven't looked up in a long time.
​Definition of luxurious. 1. extremely comfortable, elegant, or enjoyable, especially in a way that involves great expense 2. ​giving self-indulgent or sensuous pleasure.

​Definition of sachet. 1 : a small bag or packet. 2 : a small bag containing a perfumed powder or potpourri used to scent clothes and linens.

I love to brew my tea in a tea sachet.  Have you ever said the word sachet out loud?  It sounds like Saah-sshhay.  It feels luxurious in your mouth.  Like, you paid a lot of money for that word that you just said.  But, guess what?  It was free.  Words are free to say. 

And there you have it, I just looked up two words and used them in a sentence.  Don't ask me to spell them on Friday though.  I spell-checked luxurious three times.

Moment #90-Being cared for

Being cared for is nice.  It's the emotional equivalent ​of the world's largest massage chain (see image below)

Moment #89- Great Hair Day

4/10/2018

 
Sometimes your hair for whatever reason decides she wants to shine that day. Today my hair decided it was going to have a great day. That was so nice of her.

Also, while I was thinking about this someone came up to me and said my hair reminded her of a beauty blogger by the name of Keiko Lynn. I have no idea who this is, but after checking out her website I am deeply honored. (See picture of Keiko Lynn below)
