a nerdy girl living the cat lady dream in the mitten (Ann Arbor)
I miss this space, so am going to try to come back regularly. And maybe post a little. We’ll see. I guess now is as good a time as any, right? :)
This summer I’ve made it my goal to always smell like a coconut because I am obsessed with that smell currently. Not sure why. So, here are some coconut-smelling products I’ve purchased and have been using and loving lately:
1) Aveeno Skin Relief Gentle Scent Lotion For Extra Dry Skin, Nourishing Coconut
I normally don’t buy Aveeno because while the product is good, I think it can be a little spendy. Case in point, this small bottle was $7. HOWEVER, the scent is great and the lotion is thick so I probably don’t use as much. Love.
2) Victoria’s Secret PINK Coconut Milk & Pineapple body spray
I got this last summer and didn’t really use it and it looks like they may not make it any more, but I love the smell of this.
3) Advanced Care Caring Coconut Antiperspirant
I used to hate when my deodorant smelled like anything other than “clean,” but I’m loving the gentle scent of this.
4) ChapStick Total Hydration 3 in 1
I love this particular brand of chapstick, but am pretty much obsessed with the coconut flavoring. Naturally.
I also purchased coconut and pineapple candles from TJ Maxx so my home pretty much always smells like a pina colada. Highly recommend.
What are your favorite coconut-smelling things? Anything I should definitely try out?
Haven’t posted here in a while (and honestly, I had to reset my password because I’d forgotten it), but just wanted to pop back in to remind you all that dating is terrible and men are the worst.
No, I don’t want your dick pic. And I don’t know how many times I have to tell you that. This is doubly annoying because the conversation, before it went WAY south, was actually really good and I didn’t mind that it would be a minute before we actually met in person.
Why do I have to send messages like this to ADULT MEN?
Until you get comfortable with being alone, you’ll never know if you are choosing someone out of love or loneliness.

I know some people I’d like to say this to.

hi, hello
haven’t posted here in a million moons, so just stopping in to say hello!
also, work got me subscriptions to the entire Adobe CC collection… so, beyond Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects… What do I need? What’s your favorite Adobe app? Which one should I invest my time in learning?
(I’m in a pretty creative environment where I spend time doing most of our digital marketing, social media and also cool stuff for things our reporters work on)
What is this? A man who actually makes concrete plans, gives options, and remembers that I like sushi? Pinch me, I must be dreaming.
Gilmore Girls Update
Does Jess ever get nicer? Less annoying?
Does Dean ever get less clingy?
Does Rory just have horrible taste in men?
Neither my mom or I have ever watched Gilmore Girls, so we’ve started binge-watching it. We’re hooked.
We’ve even started calling ourselves the “Westrick Women.”
This is a long overdue life update, mostly because I have a million thoughts/plans happening right now, so want to get them down.
1) New job in Michigan is good. The people are nice, there’s tons of creative freedom, I have a window view. I know it’s not what I want to be doing forever, but working for a university has a lot of perks, including tuition reimbursement, so I could potentially get another masters degree in something else. If school ever sounds appealing again.
2) Living in Michigan is good. I miss my people. But I’ve met a few Tumblr ladies in Ann Arbor and they’ve confirmed their wonderful-ness. SO now I’m just hoping that once I’m finally settled in Ann Arbor, meeting more wonderful people and building relationships with the other wonderful people will happen a little easier.
One of my deskmates just asked me if I knew of the cartoon “Josie and the Pussycats” and I was like “DUH!”
ANd then he said I should have named my March Madness bracket “Jodi and the Pussycats” instead of “Jodi & the Cats” (which is what I oh so creatively named my current one).
AND I AM LEGITIMATELY UPSET THAT NO ONE HAS EVER SUGGESTED THIS TO ME BEFORE. In general, as a nickname or other hilariousness. I mean…. THINK OF ALL THE MISSED OPPORTUNITIES!
