Juicy

-

A friend first turned me on to Juicy Couture perfume. I bought the purse compact the last time I was in Vegas. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like the smell of Juicy. Fresh and cute.













I also picked up these knee-length 'Juicy Angel' skate socks. Skate socks are fun with short skirts or short shorts. Holly Madison of The Girls Next Door (basically the most awesome girly show on tv right now) sells a three pack of pink/white/black skate socks I keep meaning to pick up. But honestly? I don't wear short skirts or short shorts often enough to justify more than my Juicys. And let's face it, I am in fact an angel.








And the clothing Juicy is known for: hoodies and yoga pants. Hoodies in general are the perfect investment. (In San Antonio, an array of hoodies doubles as my winter coat.) Combined with yoga pants, it's hard to want to ever wear jeans again. Comfy, cozy, soft, easy to throw on and off, easily worn to the grocery store, the movies, a casual dinner with friends, or just lounging around the house. Darker combos can be dressed up with fancy chanclas (gold, silver or my Marciano jeweled ones come to mind) or dressed down with plain, dark colored ones. Pink suits look cute with ballet flats or simple tennies. The only time they aren't great is the mid-summer months, but luckily there are nine other months in the year that are perfect for hoodies. And what girl doesn't look cute in a hoodie? It just works on everyone. Juicy track suits come in a couple of different fabrics, but in my opinion, go velour or go home. (But don't pay full price for one.) My chocolate brown hoodie/yoga pants velour track suit just might be what I am buried in someday.

I'm jealous! I love Juicy Couture! Hard to find unless you live somewhere huge, like Toronto or Vancouver, here in Canada. Or maybe I'm just not looking in the right stores. :)

Nordstrom here also carries some Juicy stuff. Can't remember if you have Nordstrom in Canada? There is a Juicy in San Antonio. Last time I was there I walked by but didn't go in. Didn't want to subject my male friend I was with at the time to all that estrogen haha. He had already been to Tiffany with me, I figured that was enough for one day.

Quick Notes

I cut my hair today, it now looks like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. It took two hours, it was the most meticulous haircut I have ever received. He was amazing. I wish I could take him with me to Chongqing. Tomorrow I move into a hotel with the other volunteers in downtown Chengdu. We have a few days of meetings and then I move to Chongqing on Wednesday. It's about 4 hours away by train. Our new school helps us move, I am crossing my fingers they bring a car or some strong men to help! My suitcases are hella heavy. We had a banquet last night for our host families. The power went out so we ate in the dark, and then we decided to move to a restaurant next door where dinner started all over again. It was a very China evening. I will post pics asap.

This One Time I Thought I Was Really Hot (But It Was Just The HVAC Talking)

-
Back in San Antonio, my friend Stacey had asked me to pick her up from the airport. It was full summer, and for those of you who haven't been in San Antonio in the summertime, you know that expression 'hot as an oven'? Well, I like to say San Antonio summers are 'hot as downwind from an exhaust pipe.' (Which means when you actually are downwind from an exhaust pipe, things get really unpleasant.) It's quite common for there to be a temperature difference of 35-40 degrees between indoor and outdoor air during a San Antonio summer. True story: I had a small heater at my work desk and turned it on in the summer, not winter, because the air conditioning was on so high in our building I froze to death at my desk. So anyway, I go straight from the gym to the airport to pick up Stacey. It's 10 pm but still around 100 degrees outside. Inside, it's a balmy 60 or so. Gotta give those tourists a false sense of comfort! I'm pacing a bit in the baggage area wa...

Really?!?? AKA, Cultural Mishaps in China, They Will Happen

-
After judging a speech competition all morning at a school that is not my own, I was asked to hand out the second place prizes. They also asked some other teachers, but I missed the details because they only gave them in Chinese and I didn’t understand everything. I was only supposed to hand out 4 of 12 prizes. But the prize girl kept handing me certificates, so I kept handing them out, while the audience laughed at me. I didn’t know what was going on, so I just kept going until someone stopped me. Later, I was interviewed for the school news, on video, and the girl interviewing me asked me this question: Random Girl: “When you made the mistake and everyone was laughing at you, what did you feel inside?” Really, random girl? Really? On camera you ask me this? Really? Two years ago, this would have devastated me. Now, I just have to laugh and say, “Oh well! Such is life in China.” Cultural mistakes will be made. It happens. For the record, I told her I felt that it is maybe go...
