Welcome to Chaos !!

That's a Swedish proverb. If you want to know what that means.......then Google it!
It's 8 10 AM, Tatiana is on the couch with a cup of coffee and the Today Show on in the background......Tatiana likes the morning shows.
It looks like there will be rain all week. YEAY! Great summer weather here in Alaska. At least all the trees are green and lush.
Chhaya is still sleeping.

Not only is Tatiana nice, funny and a great conversationalist, she ALSO makes people feel better.
There are studies that prove that hugs are good for you, after a hug your body has increased levels of oxytocin and that affects your health in positive ways.
Tatiana always gives hugs. No, not some lingering, pervy, slimy hugs (Tatiana does not like those, yuck). Like a good ole' hug.
It's nice to make people feel better.
Have a great day and here's a hug for you!

I really like this shower creme. It smells soooooo good!

And I do no like it when people stink like bad BO in public. Especially at my place of work. YUCK !!!
I will not sit next to a stinky person and chit chat, I will not subject myself to torture like that.
My Mom always said that soap is cheap and if you have hot water coming out of the faucet then there is no excuse not to keep yourself clean.
It is one thing if you are out hiking or camping, but if you decide to go to a club, post office, restaurant etc. reeking of BO then you are just nasty.
Keep the stink to yourself. There is no need for cologne or perfume, just be clean.
A couple of summers ago I worked with a girl at The Bush that had really bad BO. And I was not the only one that noticed. Other girls could smell her and guys too. She had no problem spackling on make up, she favored lots of glitter on the eye lids, and keeping her hair ok looking but she sure did not know how to shower. It was bad. There were some complaints made to management and the girl finally, it took a while though, got the hint.
If I managed a club, personal hygiene would be a must. And if a patron came into my club smelling like dirty armpit/ass, I would tell him to leave and come back only after taking a long hot bath and investing on some deodorant.

Of course it's ok to be as dirty and stinky as you want in your house. Tatiana does not always smell like vanilla and JUICY perfume (yes she does). She is not washing, shaving etc. all the time, that would be too much. She can also excuse temporary stinkiness if somebody is going through some kind of trauma. But if you can get up each morning, put on clothes and make up, or whatever, then there are no excuses for BO.

Tatiana had a pedicure last week. She went to a place she never been to before, a lazy, not focused, chunky girl did Tatiana's pedicure. Very haphazardly. She was no good. Tatiana will not spend $$$ on a pedicure from that girl again. There was a guy giving a pedicure right next to Tatiana, he seemed ok, so Tatiana is going to request him next time and see what he has to offer.
The price for a pedicure varies depending on where you go. Tatiana wants a GOOD pedicure, not some sloppy one. She had one of her worst ever at Allure Day Spa in Anchorage, supposedly voted one of "the best spas". HUH? Tatiana does not know who voted but that place sucks! The pedicure was awful, the girl that "performed" it was totally clueless. Then they have the nerve to charge $ 85 for it. AND expect a tip! Tatiana also had a massage and two facials there, no good either.
Allure Day Spa gets Tatiana's vote to be one of the WORST places she has been to. Seriously. Tatiana loves facials, massages, pedicures and she knows when they are done well. The connoisseur that she is.
Anyhow, back to the pedicure from last week.
First Tatiana picks a color, she prefers to bring her own, so she picks from what she has at home.....



Here is a pic from the pedicure place, the toes are separated, painted and drying.......



And the result. Some lady complimented Tatiana's nail beds, Tatiana got that once before, a nail bed compliment, wow.....!
The color, pink, Tatiana LOVES pink.
Not bad for some crusty, old dancer feet huh?

The remedy for a rainy day?
Yummy coffee and Tatiana's blog!
