Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. Confession. I really want to stay in a hotel that makes towel animals. I’m not sure if this is a tropical thing, and I’ll admit that I haven’t taken many tropical vacations, but I’ve been in Hawaii a handful of times and never gotten my towel animal. Then my parents go to Mexico and [of course] send me a picture of the ones they got. Not bitter at all. Nope. Not me.
2. Confession. I’m a wimp when it comes to anything and everything that’s spicy and/or sour. And if you want to know just how big of a wimp I my tastebuds really are, I’ll have you know that I had trouble getting through the sweet and sour Skittles I bought the other day. The sweet ones went down fine, but the sour ones… not so much. And the sad thing is, if you’ve ever had them, you know they’re not even that sour. Like… not at all.
3. Confession. I’m paranoid that I’m going to walk out of my house with only one of my eyebrows done. Not even joking. And I think it all stems from the fact that one time I –almost- walked out with only one set of eyelashes coated with mascara. See, what happened was that the phone rang while I was finishing up my makeup, and I got distracted and basically forgot that I still had one set of eyelashes to do. Thankfully I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror before I walked out, because that would have been awkward. And I feel like it would have been even worse with eyebrows since those are so much more noticeable.
4. Confession. I’ve been making [and eating] way too many cookies. Or at least I would be if “too many cookies” was actually a thing. Still crushing on these ones. Not ashamed at all.
5. Confession. I have no self control around chips and guacamole. Absolutely none. I tell myself I’ll only eat a few to kill the craving, and before you know it, half a bag of chips and half a tub of guac has magically disappeared. I don’t know where it all goes, but apparently I can put a lot away.
6. Confession. I’ll listen to a song on repeat until it’s absolutely dead to me and then I’ll ignore it for a few months before repeating the process all over again. I’m going through a bit of a dubstep kick apparently, and Too Late by Klaypex has been my poison of choice. I’m a little bitter that I can’t embed YouTube videos in my posts anymore. Sorry.
7. Confession. The “recommended for you” tab in things like YouTube and Spotify gets me every.single.time. With Spotify I don’t mind as much since it’s introduced me to some awesome music, but YouTube points me in some really weird directions. Can we say 10k calorie challenges and meningitis documentaries? Like… those two things aren’t even related – why am I seeing them? And what’s worse is that it just becomes this thing that sucks you in and refuses to let you look away.
8. Confession. I’m way too hyper right now seeing as it’s currently 1:27am and I’m running on about 5.5 hours of sleep. Maybe it’s all the cookies. Or guac. Or… sour Skittles? And I don’t know… do I go lay down and try to get to sleep or just wait it out? Decisions, decisions. Either way, I do need to stop writing since this post has to go live in about half an hour. Hope you guys are having an awesome day. Talk to you soon!
Let’s chat!

That’s crazy because I’ve noticed meningitis documentaries show up as well. It’s strange and I haven’t done much meningitis searching either lol..
Love the dub step. Also – your eyebrows though…#babe
I’ve only seen those towel origami animals on a cruise I went to a couple of years back. Not sure if it’s just a tropical thing though since we were in Alaska. 😬 The monkey one was probably my favorite!
I also definitely know that struggle of falling into the YouTube trap. Once you start watching, you can never turn back.
Avocado always magically disappears around me…as does nut butter…and homemade granola…
I still remember the towel animals from my first cruise yearssss ago. So much fun!
I lose self control around chips and guac, too, and apparently my toddler does the same. Haha, at least it’s something he eats! 🙂
I don’t know how you get by on so little sleep. I’ve been there, done that, but not by choice. I really like my sleep!
There can definitely be too many cookies. Take it from me. They’re a real weakness, and there was a time I’d eat them til I was sick — like an entire box in almost one sitting. Damn, now you have me wanting cookies & I already ate a couple earlier!
Confession: I love spicy and sour so I’ll take those Skittles off your hands for you.
Are we supposed to exercise self control when it comes to chips and guac, because I never do. 🙂
I have watched some of the most interesting & bizarre things from that “recommended for you” links on YouTube.
When I worked in housekeeping at the YMCA of the Rockies, I learned to make towel roses and goofy towel ducks. That dinosaur, though, is a work of art!
I’ve only gotten towel animals on cruises! I didn’t realize regular hotels did them at all, just associated them with boats 🙂 And I’m 100% the same way with chips + guac and songs. Takes me forever to be done with a song…
My mouth started watering and I cringed a little just thinking about sour skittles lol. I do NOT handle spicy food well at all – barely any spice and I will start sweating and chugging water/milk LOL.
Your cookies are so good; I just made a batch yesterday and froze them, but I almost want to get them out of the freezer and just eat them right now.
5.5 hours of sleep? Wow you are a wonder woman gal; running on that little sleep would be hard for this girl. 😀
Towel animals are so cute; my mom always sends us pictures of them too when they go on a cruise.
mmmmmmm Chips and guac. You aren’t alone! Your make up is stunning by the way!
Cruises are the way to go for towel animals! At least the ones to Mexico 🙂
And I am with you on the spicy and sour thing. I am such a wimp when it comes to those two things! I seriously had one of my friends chips that was UNDER a jalepeno [like, maybe the corner of it touched the dang pepper] and I was choking and sputtering for almost 5 minutes. Embarrassing but true.
I totally agree with you about current songs – I play them SO MANY TIMES until I’m just over them. On to the next one!
I love sweet and sour and can eat anyone under the table in spice. I could never be a chef because no one would eat the food but me. Also, I’ve always wanted a towel animal too (or my leftovers from a restaurant folded into a foil swan)!
That towel animal is adorable!!
HAHa totally agree with you on sour foods and towel animals. I am such a whimp for sour things. My confession js that as much as I love working out, i HATE outdoorsy workouts. Hiking? Absolutely not. Im good.
hmm those cookies look good. Also don’t worry everyone has that problem with chips and guac 😉 Ok my confession is that I have eaten cereal for 3/4 of my last meals .. oh man.
I more than once went on tv forgetting my mascara until about half way through the show. DOH!
They do the cruise animals on all cruises I’ve been on! I’ve also had them in a few places in the Caribbean.
haha these are all great! Confession? Yesterday after work I ate too many BBQ chips and then wasnt hungry for dinner until almost 9pm!
I say no to all things sour, throw them out and go buy yourself a blue or purple bag of skittle because those are the best! And if you walked out of the house with only one eyebrow done yours would seriously look better than mine, I need some eyebrow help asap!
It’s impossible to only eat a few chips!!
I always eat all the chips and guacamole too. No control. I am going to have to go buy some avocados now.
Chips have a magical way of acting like air in your belly and somehow making you more hungry than you started. One time I ate an entire family sized bag of tortilla chips (okay, I was slightly intoxicated) but I was STILL hungry. Explain that!
Have you ever taken a cruise? Every cruise I’ve been on has done towel animals so it might be something to do?
How about this: I’ll take your spicy and sour, you can have my…. I’m not really sure, I want all the food. I have problems around baked goods, period–thus why my husband only got 3 of his birthday cookies. Hey, he had plenty of time. Maybe.
