Last Thing You Bought?

As soon as i'm a sauerkraut and cabbage maniac, i bought some korean-style cabbage (fermented, in spicy sauce). And something new: sauerkraut in a bbq sauce. I guess, it's very hard to find as i've never seen it before. But tonight i fought with my mom for an hour or so, and convinced her that i already CAN walk to the remote hypermarket with the go-carts. Because it's pretty dull to sit at home when you want to walk but can't go further than to the toilet. But now i got pain killers and no one is going to stop me in my desire of walking. :D And it means more and more sauerkraut, hehehe:devil:. Also we bought pickles, greek youghurt, brownies, beet salad, cranberry juice, etc.:p

I'm up to buying a bottle of drench liquor. It contains preservatives of course, but what can i do...:shrug: When i was a kid, my dad used to boil it himself, of cranberries, and it was tasty. And maybe we'll get some chocolate without milk. I'm not sure whether it's absolutely vegan, but it'll do.:p

  • 1 can Simple Truth organic no-salt-added sweet corn
  • 1 bag Kroger 90-second whole grain brown rice

They were completely sold out of my vitamins, as well as Dos Equis, jalapeños, & the little cartons of organic cilantro. I also totally flaked on getting grape tomatoes & lime.... :fp: The lime I can get from the party store two blocks away... I'll hope my picante will be "tomatoey" enough for tacos. ;)

I ordered a weighted blanket from Amazon. I've wanted one for a while as they are supposed to be good for sleep. It was reduced from £400 to £140 today! It's arriving on same day delivery too.:) I wouldn't have paid the full price for it.

How It Works: The weighted blanket has been shown to increase serotonin and melatonin, the hormones responsible for calming relaxation, while decreasing cortisol, the hormone responsible for stress. This natural, physiological approach decreases heart rate, blood pressure, and more, improving mood and promoting restful sleep and relaxation.

I looked it up and would also like one of these blankets. Looking forward to your feedback when you receive it.
 
Yesterday at CVS I picked up a bottle of Alive Women's Energy multi-vitamin/multi-mineral tablets (veg-friendly)... I used my 40%-off coupon for that. Also picked up two Wet n Wild cosmetics... a moisturizing lipstick in "Cashmere" (brownish shimmer) & a MegaProtein mascara in black... my previous lipstick purchases were a little to dry-feeling, and the e.l.f. mascara I bought before is nearly impossible to remove... I mean, it stays on for days! :confused: Oh, and I grabbed some more makeup-remover wipes (Global Beauty Care, with green tea extract), and a six-pack of Heineken. :p

My self-esteem is crap. LMAO :p I just don't want to run out of multi-vitamins. I'm not going to take my folks' vitamins (they've practically all got gelatin), so I kept searching. I knew my CVS coupon expired yesterday so I had to use it, I searched the site online, saw the Alive brand, Googled the ingredient list (lots of good stuff!)... and I know they're not totally vegan (because of the D3), at least they're vegetarian-friendly, with a plant-based coating, not gelatin. They're much smoother & smaller than the Simple Truth vitamins (those are horse pills!) and I only have to take one a day... the others recommended three times. :eek: I can't afford that sh*t, so I took two a day. Now I'll be down to one multi, one B-12, & two acidophilus per day.
 
I used to use Alive Ultra shake powder mixed with OJ years ago. Loved that stuff! It had a weird vanilla flavor, was green, and just tasted really pleasant to me mixed with juice.

I should look at weighted blankets- although now getting hot :rolleyes:. I've been having really poor sleep. Hard to get to sleep, then waking up for most of the night until about 2 when I have to get up by 4 :mad:. Morning sleep is the best sleep:(
 
Ooooooo- just looked at weighted blanket prices :eek:
I could not sleep knowing I spent that kind of money :p
When I was a teenager I had this huge, heavy, yellow blanket. I don't know what it was made of, couldn't have been wool, but super dense and thick. I loved how it pressed down on me. I don't sew, but am going to keep looking for simple ideas for one.
Some kind of heavy rope I could stitch on to a blanket :confused: ?
 
^ I know, it was expensive.

The delivery man passed the parcel to me and I nearly dropped it as it was much heavier than I expected!:D

The blanket last night did feel very relaxing. I read that it is meant to feel like being hugged, although it doesn't IMO.

My legs felt really tingly as if I had been massaged or was in the sea floating on my back swimming and I did fall asleep very quickly.

This morning it felt far too heavy on me, though and it is very warm so it would be good in cold weather but it is hot here at the moment.

My favourite pharmacy shop is closed from now on, so we went to another good one and bought me a pack of Vitamin E for the cells' renovation and broad-leaved sage (salvia) for my crappy stomach.:cthulhu: I know that it helps for sure because long ago i used to give it to my dad to reduce the paraneoplastic syndroms, - the consequences of his stomach cancer, and it helped a lot.:zen:

The weighted blanket didn't feel as heavy this morning, I suppose it is just a question of getting used to it.

I ordered some shower gel and stuff from Superdrug and forgot to get a B serum. I have been using a Faith in Nature moisturiser but it doesn't suit my sensitive skin.

I'm not sure... Wouldn't think so? Your teeth shouldn't come into contact with them.

We all need to cut down on plastic so I'm sure they will be fine.
