Play with Kittehs!

So, whilst in the middles of my online escapades, I can across a wonderful site where you can play with cats in an animal shelter using robot toys. By simply pushing a button, a toy will move around in some way, and (hopefully) the cats will play with. You can watch, in real time, the animal shelter room, and chat with other people who are also on the site too, if you choose. Check it out, it's pretty neat.

Operation Beautiful

Whilst watching an episode of "The Doctors" where some Hollywood doctors talk about health and junk, i heard them talk about a woman who started a project called "Operation Beautiful". In this project, you are supposed to write some positive message on a post-it note and put it in some random place. The goal is to end the toxic negative self-talk. Like this:

hydrant  or this

Pretty neat huh? I think it would be fun! just leave them in school textbooks or the bathroom windows, stuff like that. What do ya think? Wanna join me? Check the website where you can find other peoples post-its:

Product Reviews!

  • Mio Water flavorings two stars
I was pretty disappointed in this one. I don't know why, but I just thought this would taste good. Some would argue with me, but i don't think that this tastes that good. I have tried the mango peach and the berry pomegranite. The mango peach, in my opinion was better than the berry pomegranite, but both were not very good. They tasted ok at first, but the after-taste was pretty bad. it was the after-taste you get when drinking, get this, flavored water. that weird chemically bitter aftertaste that stays in the back of your throat? Thats what this tastes like. Just a warning...
  • V8 V-fusion   four stars
V8 was a lot better than I expected. Despite the advertising, i really thouht that this would taste like vegetables. But instead, itpretty much tastes like fruit juice. There is a slight undertone taste of something else (my guess it that it's the vegetables in the juice), but it doesn't taste like a carrot or anything. V8 V-fusion also comes in many different flavors, like the concord grape raspberry i'm drinking now :)

  • Bath & Body Works Body Lotion Bali Mango five stars

First of all, I'm probably bias to Bath & Body works because I have had a long history of loving their stuff (doe that make bias?) Anyway, this scent is very nice! The scent is prevelent, but not overpowering. But it isn't too soft either, a very happy medium amout of delicious fruity scent. mmmmm.


  • Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstain in Cherry Pop four stars

I had high hopes for this, but the biggest down fall is probably my fault. I thought cherry pop would be a light reddish color, but no, its darker. Which shocked me, so when I tried to wipe of some of it to make the color lighter, it was pretty hard! Which would have been a good thing if I had liked the color. I eventually rubbed some of it off so it looked better. But the color stayed on even after going swimming for an hour and eating dinner (mmmm tacos). So yeah, it stays! just get a lighter color unless you want to look like you just ate a cherry snow cone. Also, the application was weird, it was like drawing with marker on my lips. It would spread like gloss will if you mush your lips together, so it was kind of awkward. Oh well.
