Wednesday's Clean Can Hodgepodge

 

Visit Joyce and join the fun!

1. Your favorite cleaning product? Do you clean your own house or hire out? Most disliked household chore? What one chore do you not mind so much? 

My favorite cleaning product is Method All Purpose Cleaner.  My favorite scents are pink grapefruit and clementine.  I clean my own house.  My most disliked household chore is scrubbing the tub.  I don't mind vacuuming, it is kind of calming to me.  

 2. It's Canned Food Month...do you use a lot of canned goods? What are the three canned items you purchase most often? Last thing you made using a canned ingredient? 

Yes I have a pantry of canned goods.  The three I purchase the most are crushed tomatoes (for sauce), beans and fruit like pineapple or pears.  I had cottage cheese and pears from a can for breakfast a couple of days ago.  

 3. Can of worms, anything can happen, can you imagine?, as best I can, kick the can down the road, more than one can take, no can do, not if I can help it...choose an idiom and tell us how you currently relate.

As best I can.  I am working really hard at exercising and tracking my food.  I would like things to move faster but I am doing as best I can.  I have lost 44 lbs. since the end of August.  Of course, things slow down as you stick with it.

4.The last Tuesday in February is National Spa Day. Are you someone who enjoys a day at the spa? Last time you visited a spa? Do you have a favorite spa? Are salons open for business in your area? Have you made changes to your hair and nail routine since Corona hit? In what way? 

No, I do not like spa days.  I don't remember ever having a spa day.  Salons are open here.  I have a friend who has a little salon in her home do my hair normally because I hate salons.  Ever since I had vertigo it is quite uncomfortable for me to be around all the lights, mirrors and noise.  Plus it is hard for me to put my head back to get it washed.  I haven't had my hair cut in a year!  I do my own coloring and have kept that up although I do admit to using root touch up more often and trying to stretch the time out between colorings.  I do my own nails, usually just a neutral color on my fingers.  I do not like the feeling of bare nails.  I like them smooth and they seem to break less when they are polished.  I am thinking about going to a fancy salon for a new haircut and style when I lose 50 lbs. as a reward and for a change.  

 5. Believe it or not this is the last Hodgepodge of the month. In one sentence sum up your February. 

February was very snowy this year! 

 6. Insert your own random thought here.

In case anyone is getting tired of winter, there are 96 more days until Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer!

  1. 70 degrees and all sunshine here today, and I am loving it! I don't particularly like the sensation of my head at that awkward angle in the salon chair. I do love having my hair done though, and have never tried coloring it myself. Hope you have a great day!

  2. It is warm and sunny in Alabama today! I, too, have been eating right, tracking, and exercising! Way to go on the weight loss. Are you doing WW or some other plan?

  3. Hello Theresa, Congrats on losing those pounds. Hope you hit your goal for that salon day soon. I'm impressed that you color your own hair. I've gone natural grey. Sorry about the vertigo...
    Hope the rest of February treats you well.

  4. Hi,
    I am cheering you on to reach that 50 pound mark. I have lost weight this past year too, I hope to keep it off. Discipline is key, it really is the key to everything. ;-)
    I went natural in 2018. I am a silver girl now, at age 46. It was very hard for me to do, I cried because I had dark, dark brown hair. The skunk line was the hardest to overcome. Now, I am so happy I did it. It was not easy at all, but I was ready to stop coloring. Anyway.. I got my hair cut into a new style yesterday. I too had not gotten my hair cut in a good year. I am so happy how it turned out.
