Yorkshire Tea is the best! I have a ton of exotic teas but Yorkshire is my go to for a classic cuppa.

Ryder uses monthlies and dailies, but weeklies are widely used in the bujo community, especially for people who need to plan for a week and not set up entries day by day. I have used both and settled on rolling weeks as my best format. And save me from those calendar box monthlies. Utterly useless for me.

You have done a great job, and I promise it will only get better as you refine what meets your needs and incorporate new things in your bullet journal. I have been using it for two years and my formats have changed over time, but I have never gotten into the artsy versions. If you don’t want to bother with all the prettyfication (yep, made up word), just call yourself a bullet journal minimalist (yep, thats a real thing in the bullet journal world).

These people are looking for sweet drinks with minimal liquor taste. I agree that they sound disgusting. And the creator of the pear margarita has no idea what a shot is. One cup of pear juice with a half ounce of tequila? Yuck.

The “ough” words are really a problem: rough, cough, thorough, through, bough, dough, bought. Makes my head want to explode and I am a native speaker with a post- graduate degree.

What the hell is a size 27?

I am so glad I went to the University of Chicago where this nonsense was banned along with big 10 sports. Yep, banned back in the 1930s. We were pretty snotty about it too (looking at you Northwestern) but my entire college experience was better for it. This all seems like a foreign culture.

#11 - I always think quinoa cooked looks like maggots are in it. Yes, I know it s just a sprout tail, but yuck.

Search on “minimalist bullet journal” to find the formats that are simple, practical and easy to do. One of the key benefits of bullet journals is that you can assess what is important to you and incorporate that in your format - and change it as necessary. You can’t do that with pre-printed pages. I have been bullet journaling for two years and never have done the fancy full color art-filled version, and it has actually become more useful to me over time.

**jogging**

Until you start jigging and your phone falls out…..

I saw one running down our street with a bunny in its mouth. I live in Minneapolis near the Mississippi. We also have deer and a ton of raccoons. The raccoons party in our yards at night.

There are almost always appliances included when you buy a house in Minneapolis, and alway appliances in rentals, apartment or house rental.

Alcohol, vinegar and magic erasers. I have given up all the special cleaners and am finding that I never needed them to begin with. If you want a general cleaning spray, mix water, alcohol, vinegar and a small amount (very small) of Dawn. Magic erasers clean anything - but they are a very fine abrasive so be careful on wood and walls.

Do you know and knitters or scrapbookers? Every one of them hides what they buy sometimes, which weirds me out. Maybe same sex marriages are different.

Chai with a shot of espresso. Former coffee shop owner here ……

Yep, even grandma. Family can be the worst at body shaming.

Never Walmart …….

Warp and Weft from Stitch Fix. I got these skinny jeans in my first box and love them. Never thought I would find skinny jeans to fit and I hate going from store to store. I am a curvy girl, size 18 and these are fabulous.

#4 - if that stove is a Aga, it is a $10,000 appliance that takes a consultant to learn how to use it. My friend bought a townhouse with one in it and what a pain it was.

Invisibilia is fabulous. Lots of interesting information that makes you think. Love it!

Don’t believe the pricing in the article. If it is from Amazon, once you enter your size, the price jumps to almost double. Maybe it stays the same for the tiny feet? I wear a 9.

Fementable oligosaccharides, di-saccharides, mono-saccharides and polyols.These are all sugars that tend to ferment in your gut. Low fodmap is not a lifestyle diet but a temporary elimination diet to help you identify triggers. It is not nutritionally sound to stay on it but great to find out what causes problems for you.I cannot eat any kind of legume but some other oligos are fine. And simple carbs are a problem if I eat more than a little bit.

Who the heck is Jillian Curtis? I watch a ton of HGTV and never even heard the name.

Did anyone else prefer the before version of #16? Those distressed white cabinets look icky to me.
