So yesterday Marquette talked about her awful experience with baby oil, her razor, and her irritated shaved legs. You can read that here . I laughed so hard reading this because I have had THE EXACT OPPOSITE EXPERIENCE!!!! I LOVE baby oil as a shaving aide and recommend it to everyone!! I totally converted my mom who was a conditioner as a shaving cream lady (like Marquette) for a good 20 years! She loves it! I originally saw it on this pin: http://www.budgetsavvydiva.com/2012/08/extend-life-razor-with-baby-oil/ Now of course I didn't read it, I just saw the picture an tried it, and it was awesome (one of the only times this worked out that way lol). One tip she gave was to pour a little bit on the end of your razor before shaving, and the other tip was to use it as a shaving cream. I use it as a shaving cream. I was floored! My legs were smooth, shaving went smoother and faster than usual, I don't cut myself as much, I haven't gotten ANY ingrown hairs (a rarity before all ...

Today I am showing off Marquette and her awesomeness!! This week she brought me this little dittle and told me I was a Unicorn. You have no idea what a compliment that is. Seriously. I died. She is the best friend a girl could ask for, this totally has helped to turn my not so awesome semester around for the better! I don't know how to crochet, and I'm not sure where she go this from, we'll have to bug her to get the pin later, but it's AWESOME AND I LOVE ITTTTT!!! **Marquette here, sneaking in: I got this pattern off of Repeat Crafter Me . The tutorial/pattern is great and she has it adapted from newborn up to adult sized hats.** I named him Keith. Behold, tis' Keith! Pure unadulterated bathroom selfie happiness. Thanks for helping me show off something this week Marquette, even if it isn't mine. The only thing I have to show for this week are two banged up legs ( I fell...twice) and 8 pages of essays, not exactly Blog Show-and-Tell material. Happy Saturday all...

So, anyone else having one of those weeks where you swear someone is going to jump out and say "Just Kidding!". Well, that's this week around here. I'm sure you've all had those weeks. Life gets sailing along smooth and everything seems fine, and then suddenly from out of nowhere a piano falls on you and Wile E. Coyote grins because for once it's not him under the piano. The dumb part? I don't even have any awesome photos of this Life Pinstrosity week to show you. But, I do have a whole blog of 500+ posts with awesome photos. So, let's dig back through the archives and see what we can find in the way of "How to Survive a Wile E. Coyote Week". Survival Tip #1: Cake http://pinstrosity.blogspot.com/2012/03/wise-owl-saysjust-go-buy-cake.html Cake isn't my first choice of dessert, but seriously I'm not going to turn down a piece of cake. Does it have frosting? I'm in. Cake doesn't even have to look pretty. Cake is cake even with ug...

Today's H.U.M.P. day will be a little different, today's H.U.M.P. day is actually a H.I.A.P. day.   Honey I Am a Pinstrosity.   That's right, me. I'm the Pinstrosity today. I have had strep throat 5 times since December 24th. Yep I had strep on Christmas that continued on until New Year's. I had strep the week before my first half-marathon race. I had strep the week of Valentines' Day. I had strep the week of my wedding anniversary. And I have it again now.   The funny thing about your health is that you don't think about it until there is a problem. I find multiple truths in the saying "If you don't have your health you don't have anything." Right now that is exactly how I feel!   Ever since I have been sick it makes EVERYTHING else in my life seem harder. School has been a pain in my patootie. Cooking dinner is a fiasco (we ate at 11:30 last night, a real awesome cooked dinner, but it was at 11:30). Unfortunately at this "trying...
