July Favorites

August already?  Senior year is about to start for one member of the household which is absolute craziness.  July went by quickly.  Here's what I discovered. 

I prefer men's deodorant.  I have replaced my Secret with Old Spice.  Not only is it working better for me, it's half the price!

The Naked Smoky palette that I didn't think I needed....I need it.
I love it.
I seem to go in phases with my blush colors...July was this rosy color from Clinique in Heather Pop
I apologize in advance for recommending these.  I honestly wish I had never discovered them because they are THAT good.  Greek frozen yogurt with 6 grams of protein per serving...cookies and cream, mint chocolate chip....it is seriously a danger to keep these in my house now.  I mean at least a whole pint is a whopping 24 grams of protein if you were to say, accidentally eat it all.  Not that I would.  Or did.  Or will again. 
I think my favorite flavor of Quest bar is officially S'Mores.  I've tried several now and was excited to try the mint chocolate chip.  It was a let down.  It totally didn't take like girl scout cookies.  My expectations were probably a bit too high but I want a protein bar to taste as good as a protein bar can taste. 

Now my not so favorite for July...the dentist.  Probably a lot of people's not so favorite thing. 
I, like most people, really dislike going to the dentist.  Thursday was no exception.  I was not looking forward to it and was not looking forward to the small talk that is typically done.  I woke up with a headache and neck ache which I knew would not mix well with the dentist chair.  I waited about 30 minutes past my appointment time and during this time I learned everything about the new patient Sue.  She was very concerned about the front desk lady knowing her history and even got into the details about the meds she was on that helps with her “pee dribble.”  Yes, that conversation actually happened.  Finally my name was called and I was happy that the hygienist I had was not a talker.  She, like me, didn’t appear to want to be there.  We did the x-ray thing then proceeded to the cleaning.  I’m not sure if she was just being a bit rough or what the issue was but that awful sounding, sharp pokey tool was pretty painful when she did my back teeth.  That is my least favorite part.  Next she asked me if I wanted cinnamon, spearmint, or peppermint flavored polish to which I wanted to say “which flavor do you think pairs the best with the blood taste I have going on?”  But I simply said the spearmint.  In case you are wondering, this is definitely not a good pairing.  After polishing comes the flossing of course and then I remember maybe this is my least favorite part.  I hear “I’m getting quite a bit of blood, are you flossing regularly?”  I take this to mean that now my mouth must look like a scene out of Spartacus because I already thought the “quite a bit of blood” thing had been happening earlier.  I give her the so-so hand signal…the answer I give every single time I go to the dentist.  By now my right, tensed up shoulder is numb and I would really like to stretch my neck.  We finally finish this whole, bloody process and she tells me the dentist will be in soon.  I thought “for the love of all things holy, please just sit me up in this chair.”  Instead responded “ok.”  She handed me my little goody bag and like a little kid I peek in to see what color toothbrush I got and pout a little when I see it is the same color I always get.  My third purple in a row.  She finally leaves the room and I can do my much needed neck stretches.  As I wait for the dentist to come in I eye his dentistry books lining the shelves and wonder just how many pages you can fill with discussions on teeth.  Here comes the dentist finally…does his pokey thing and tells me that we finally need to replace the filling we have been watching for the past 3 visits.  I didn’t think he’d appreciate me responding with “hashtag awesome” in a not awesome voice.  So went with the standard “ok” again as he showed me my x-rays and I pretended to see whatever he was showing me.  So I will probably have a not so favorite of the dentist again in September when I go back for my filling replacement. 

Favorite TV show of the month I accidentally discovered:  Downton Abbey
Favorite Song of the month:  Let You Go by the Chainsmokers

August is set to be a busy month...like every month of the year seems to do, I'm sure it will fly by!
