I've Learned that. . .

*Shampoos that contain more ingredients to moisturize my hair cause my skin to break out. yuck.

*Knowing the 50 Nifty United States in alphabetical order doesn't get you anywhere in life.

*A professional manicure lasts two days before chipping. A pedicure last two weeks.

*The daily 800mcg Folic Acid tablet I was taking {in case I got pregnant} was making my nails stronger and more beautiful. Two weeks after discontinuing, my nails are sharp, breaking, scaling and ugly. I just need to get back to the drug store to get another bottle. * NOTE * {All baby-making plans are on hold until further notice. Which means one thing, and one thing only: sex just got awesome again}

*Speaking of shampoo and conditioner, I've learned that if my hair starts looking like ass, to switch it up a bit and try another brand temporarily ...voila! new hair.

*The more I pick at my skin, the more it breaks out ...but that doesn't stop me.

*Certain things never go out of style. Figure out what they are, buy the best and keep them forever. Get rid of everything else.

*Even the person whom you view to be the least competent, is good at something.

*If you try to hold your sneeze in, in an attempt to draw less attention to yourself, you will do the exact opposite.

*What annoys us in others is actually what annoys us about our own personality. When you hear yourself pointing it out, think about how you may act the same and either stop acting that way or stop pointing it out ...either way is a win win.

*If I wear an outfit that I have to fidget with all night long because it doesn't fit right or changes position constantly, I will be focused on it and only it. All. Night. Long. {allNiyeet} ~ And that is just boring.

*Making excuses just prolongs misery. Some people like to be miserable.

*If you don't figure out how to get what you want, you never will.

*Corona with a lime does not taste like pee anymore. Happy Saturday.

You are very wise. And manicures ARE a rip.

Rachel said...

I'm still trying to name the 50 states LOL not to mention in alphabetical order. We do this all the time on road trips to NY.

BTW Corona with Lemon baby!

I recently had a manicure that lasted an entire week. I hated the salon that I got it from but now I have to go back and see if it was just a random anomoly or not.

AT THE PICKLED HUTCH said...

Are you a fast learner or what? Did you learn all that in one day? I unfortunately, have taken years to learn all that. And even when I thought I knew better, I still repeated some of those mistakes. I heartily agree about Corona! One of those mistakes I kept making until I got it right!

SHILL said...

Holly said...

great list, and i feel ya on the corona bit--had one with a lime today after moving all morning, it was pretty much perfect.

Leigh said...

OMG so true, especially the hair, and being an esthetician I should know better to leave my zits alone, but no had a mishap last week, and the thing is once I touch it it looks 90% worse than if I just left it alone LOL.


I am so glad you love your prints, yea!! Thanks again darling..

Also love the wonderful picture of you and the hubby :) soooo sweet..

Kimberlee said...

gorgeous blog bella! - thanks for leaving a comment over at mine, otherwise would have never found you - yay! xxx

Agnes said...

You're very funny Meagan, and I love your style! I'll be back for more reading...
If your hair is tired of your shampoo you can always mix 1/2 a cup of vinegar with your old shampoo, your hair will be soooo shiny! The smell won't linger. Just don't get it in your eyes.

Lump said...

I've never had a manicure in my life. Looks like I will continue not getting a manicure. ;)

I completely agree you on the whole shampoo bit. I have to switch mine out every two weeks!

Chessa said...

I love it here...it's official. I'm putting your fabulousness on my blogroll...that's how I ROLL;-)
ok, my favorite part about this list is the one about non baby-making sex. word. I haven't blogged about it but there's nothing truer than your statement. oh, and, manicures, which I'm addicted to in NYC, are a total rip-off...but I still can't stop.
