my throat hurts so bad that i couldn’t finish my yoga class tonight. how embarassing. i’m beginning to think i have the highly publicized mystery illness from asia. oh the pain…. the agony….

i’m such a wuss.

my new favorite beauty product? this citrus and ginger scrub by olay called “ohm”. it perfectly compliments my yoga practice and the inner wannabe artist in me… and it smells fruity. mmmmm. i love how the people at olay.com try to make oranges and ginger sound new and exotic.

everybody say “oooooh”.

Ohm by Olay Exfoliating Body Scrub - Citrus & Ginger
Ohm by Olay Exfoliating Body Scrub washes away dry, flaky skin, leaving the skin underneath retexturized with a complex containing Citrus and Ginger. Re-energize your mind and help restore your skin’s youthful look and feel. mandarin orange (Citrus nobilis)- a known anti-oxidant, the Mandarin Orange is a citrus fruit native to China and adopted around the world. ginger (Zingiber officinale) Indigenous to Southeast Asia, Ginger was quickly embraced by European spice traders who were attracted by its energizing and refreshing properties.

there are signs up everywhere announcing the annual “spring cleaning” of our fair city. i wonder if i’ll notice a difference. the bright pink strip club that i pass on the way to school is getting into it, though. it’s being renovated right now — but rest assured — it’s still open while under construction.

the pink blossoms that were so plentiful a week ago have gone– there are only a half dozen or so left on the trees surrounding my apartment. in their place– ugly red leaves that are sure to fall to the ground and muck up the entire place. i can’t believe the one thing that brought a little beauty to this place is already gone.

time to move.
