Black weekend madness

I didn't had time to enjoy this year's back friday. Actually I think we should call it black weekend because most of the stores were extending the sales during the weekend. Anyway, I had to work, so I was home alll weekend. And I did not had time -- nor patience -- to go shopping.

Let's face it, most of the stores that were having like 20% off, wore not worth the trouble. Most of them are relatively cheap and actually they are always having promos and mini-sales. And I hate --really really hate-- to be in a fucking full store. You can't move, usually people smell bad because it's too hot and it's way too loud for me. I rather have a good and smooth shopping experience than to save 20%. The only thing that would be worth it, it would be electronics or appliances. But now I don't really need or want anything...

In the USA usually the sales go up to 60-70% and that is totally different. But still, is it worth having to - literally - fight and endure all that shit?

I hope you had a great weekend - either you spent it shopping or not!
Happy Monday!

Review | Colgate Portable Kit

Since now I have braces, I need to be more careful and more responsible with my oral hygiene because I don't want to walk around with food in my braces and because good hygiene helps speeding up the process. Therefore, I needed to buy some sort of portable toothbrush that I can just stick in my bag and always have it with me. I ended up buying this one. 

This one comes with a foldable toothbrush, a baby toothpaste and a plastic zip-lock bag to keep everything thigh  I think that having a toothbrush with you always is a very good idea, even if you don't have braces. You never know when you may need it, and it is good to brush after every meal. If we carry mascara, lipstick and blush why not have a toothbrush as well? This is super small and compact. I found it perfect for everyday!

I saw a lot of different options -- and there are this type of kits specially made for braces, but they cost around 10€ and I know that braces ruin toothbrushes super fast. So I thought that It's not wort to invest in an expensive thing when it's just going to get ruined. This one costed only 4 euros. Its nothing fancy but it does the job. 

Do you own something like this? And do you actually use it or it ends up just being there? I'm afraid that's gonna happen to me! Let's see!

Braces | Let's get it on

Today I went to get my top braces putted in.

The spacers I had on -- click here to read about it --  they were hurting a bit. Mainly because they were really pressing again my gum, but it was bearable. I had them for two days  The first thing the doctor did was to remove them... 

The process of punting on the braces was very easy. They glue each individual bracket with a special glue that needs a blue light to set. So far, so good. No pain at all. 

But then the doctor had to put some rings where the spacers were. These rings are what hold the wire and they have to be really stuck between my teeth. And ooh god. When she pushed them in, it hurt like hell. But it's just for a moment. Then the pain went away. But yeah that's not nice at all... After that she added the wire and the rubber bands to keep it in place. Again, painless. I choose baby-blue for my firs color. 

She explained me how to brush and how to take care of my braces. I can't eat anything crunchy like chocolate, toasts or apples, nor sticky stuff like chewing-gum, soft-candies. I should not drink carbonated drinks -- like coca-cola -- because it can remove the glue. Also, if I drink natural fruit-juice, to use a straw because the acid from the fruit can also remove the glue and oxidize the brackets. She gave me some wax to put on the braces if something is poking my mouth. 

As soon as the doctor finished installing it, I immediately felt pressure. A lot. And I'm still feeling. It's not pain, it doesn't hurt, it's just uncomfortable. But so far that's it. It doesn't hurt. Just pressure. 

I have to admit, lunch was hard. I was not able to chew properly and I kept hurting my tong.So I just ate some soup and some ice-cream. But I guess -- better say, I hope -- I just have to get used to it. Ans yes, food gets stuck all over the place. 

I am returning there in the beginning of January. But I will keep you updated :)

Also, guys, if you have any tips or tricks that will make this smoother, let me know :)

What Really Grinds My Gears | Slow people

I understand if you are a slow person, you know you're not fast passe. That's ok. But when you're a slow person and you are completely inconsiderate to fast people, that really pisses me off! You're not in a hurry, I understand you going slow. I don't do it. I'm always in a hurry. But if you like to go slow and enjoy life, that's fine. But not when I am trying to hurry because I have a bus or a train to catch! And these people usually go on the escalators and stay there. ON THE LEFT SIDE! aaargh this annoys me so much. If you don't want to walk, if you are lazy, if you are tired, stay on the RIGHT SIDE! Other people have lives, busy lives, I don't have to be asking for permission to walk faster than you!
