B-Side Question: Are you good or terrible (like John Mayer) at moderation?
-
Tiny Desk Rank™ I went window shopping for a new coat in Nordstrom Rack last night and tried on 4 sizes of the same Lauren by Ralph Lauren Tweed coat The sizes were 0, 2, 4 & 6. 0 -2 were *slightly* too small with no detectable difference between the sizes. I couldn't button them comfortably but I did have an athletic sweater under Size 4 & 6 were slightly too snug at the button (4 - but I had an athletic sweater on still) or slightly too loose in the back dart (6) The 4 could have been the 0 or 2, the 6 could have been an 8 or 10 in the end. This isn't a cheaply made inexpensive low end brand. They have old pattern blocks/block makers. What is going on? I wish I took pics to prove this exercise in futility but the store was so filled with people I could barely get a mirror to myself Side rant: I was quite upset to fit into anything marked size 0, it feels misleading. Also my home "Mirror Mirror" does wonder for my confidence but public mirrors ... Meh. I looked thin and flat all over in the wrong places. I think its the monolithic floor to ceiling size that dwarfs my ego 😔

I'm also a huge tea person. I drink all types. Tea is personal. Go with what you enjoy but since you are a RNYer try for less caffeinated variety at first to protect your surgery. To use Artificial sweeteners or not will also be a personal choice mainly on taste and tolerance. At home I use a stevia blend. In the wild, if I can't find it or didnt bring my own I use a little splenda. Good Luck 💙 -

There's just something in my eyes ...

Everything is hyped here mostly small batch and independent breweries/distillers. I went on tours of places and I don't even drink 😂 Its becoming a whole culture now Ive also done honey tastings 😍
-
Also Last I remembered a few years ago liquor stores in my state actively handed out samples in hopes of getting you to buy new items. Wines tastings are super big now 😬
