July Confessions

don't be eye candy be soul food

Hey everyone! Is it just me or does time speed up exponentially in the summer months? It’s like the cold, winter months go by at super snail pace, but then the warm months where everyone wants to relax and have fun in the sun whip on by!

Oh well, it’s the first Wednesday of the month so you know what that means- Confession time!

Food Confessions:

  • I confess that I totally ate a peanut butter sandwich for dinner two nights last week. I just wasn’t craving anything and it seemed like the most logical, no-effort meal.
  • Until last week I hadn’t ate at Subway in over 3 years! Although it’s good, it’s just never a restaurant that pops into my head when I’m out and about. Apparently the $5 footlong isn’t a thing anymore either!

Beauty Confessions: 

  • Ya’ll know I’m all about makeup and beauty trends, but tightlining (applying eyeliner to the upper waterline) freaks me out.. I cringe when Youtubers do it on camera and shudder at the thought of doing it on myself.
  • I’ve never used an eyelash curler. Never. I’ve been blessed with long lashes that have a natural curl to them so I’ve never seen the necessity.

Random Confessions:

  • I always have the best intentions to go to bed early, and then it’s like all of a sudden my brain goes into overdrive remembering all the things I need to do/finish. Before I know it I’m laying my head down on the pillow 2 hours later, exhausted.
  • I make lists just so I can cross things off of them. Haha this is weird, I know.

Pet Peeve of the Week:

When people hold up traffic in the passing lane. I mean is there anything MORE annoying out there?! Every time I travel somewhere there’s always that one car that does nothing but ride in the passing lane the entire time, and holds up traffic because you know there’s always 74 18-wheelers you’re going to get stuck behind in the right lane, so next thing you know you’re going 35 on the interstate. All because of that one annoying car.

  1. Subway never crosses my mind either…so weird.
    I recently started using an eyelash curler because I didn’t need to, but boy it makes a HUGE difference in how pretty the lashes look. Haha!

  2. I’m the same way when it comes to food and sleeping. I’m SUCH a night owl. I could stay up all night to get stuff done, but then HATE waking up in the morning. And my go-to meal is soup, so that I don’t have to put in a ton of work. hahah

  3. I eat PBJs for dinner all the time! I work late (and commute from NYC to Long Island) so sometimes when I get home I need to eat something that requires zero effort and 2-minute prep time. It’s a no brainer!

    I’ve also never used an eyelash curler before; same reason as you. Also they scare me.

  4. Those funnies are hilarious…especially the Target/Walmart one. That eyeliner thing freaks me out too. I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier every night this week, and it’s just not happening. Ugh. Then, the mornings just suck.

    1. Funny story, I’ve literally been in bed by 9 pm every night this week, but still somehow manage to not fall asleep until close to 10 because my brain won’t calm down lol. I need to figure out a relaxing method or something.

  5. Those gifs are hilarious. I haven’t seen anyone applying eye liner to their upper waterline. I have to look that up!

  6. Yeah I hate it when I drive to work and these so called drivers stay in that fast lane and I am like move. It drives your mommy crazy but I am like these people need to have there license taken from them. I think you get your long eye lashes from me cause I had a woman at work tell me she loved my long eye lashes. I told her thanks and my wife loves them, and I love my wife. Anyway that is a story I will need to tell you some time in the future. Love the post. Love you.. Dad

  7. this makes me LOL every time. First of all, peanut butter sandwich is delicious and I frequently have that for supper. Second.. fine will never mean “fine.” One time I said “I’m fine” and I legitimately meant it and my husband looked terrified……. 🙂

  8. I have been craving pancakes like nobody’s business — I ate them at least three times for dinner last week. I can’t stop ha ha! I tried using an eyelash curler once just to see and it was horrible. I am lucky that I do not need one either. Also, that little boy at “work” so me this week ha ha.

  9. I so hate when people ride slow in the passing lane. It drives me insane! I can not remember a time that I have ever used an eye lash curler either. They kind of freak me out. Lol. That little boy in the picture of trying to stay positive at work is def me lately!!

  10. YASSSS to your random confessions! I seriously cannot get my brain to shut off ever! I’m a huge list maker too! I just love the satisfaction of crossing things off.

  11. this is cute! love hearing your confessions. never used an eyelash curler? I wish i never started. my lashes were so great until I did…haha, but they’re okay now!

  12. OMG Oatmeal Raisin will be the end of my sanity! Lol. That is great.

    I totally understand the peanut butter sandwiches. There is no shame in a comfort food for dinner!

  13. I have eyelash curlers but never use them. Lol. Great post! Nothing wrong with peanutbutter sammiches. And I do the same always rushing around to get everything done before bed.

  14. I used an eyelash curler in high school and had still been hanging onto it. I haven’t used it in 10 years (my lashes are long enough for my liking). Yet I still have it!

  15. I haven’t been to Subway in 3 years and the last time was because my husband wanted it–we lived in a remote part of Hawaii and it was in our neighborhood 🙂 and never needed an eyelash curler either and when I tried to use one once it just freaked me out having it so close to my eye! Lol 🙂

  16. Ditto to subway and drivers! Although, my confession is probably a bigger pet peeve with people that stand on the escalators on the left side so no one else can pass. It’s a big deal here in Washington, D.C.! 🙂

  17. Tight lining freaks me out too! I have tried it and have poked myself in the eye with the liner haha I ALWAYS say ok, TONIGHT I’m going to bed early and it never happens! I have such road rage and hate when ppl hold up traffic!

    1. I’ve heard it can cause infection in your eye too which also makes me leery. Nothing’s worth getting an eye infection over! Haha, I did manage to get to sleep at 9:30 last night, but my brain was all, you could go fold the clothes or watch a couple episodes of Netflix..lol 😉

  18. I totally make lists just to cross things off of them too! It just makes me feel so much more accomplished! Two weeks ago when I was traveling we got stuck behind someone going 60 in an 80 mph zone and it was SO frustrating and they refused to get over for like 10 mins. I almost lost it!

    1. Lol, I don’t even normally get road rage or anything, but it really is annoying when you’re trying to get somewhere. Plus the cop wife in me is always like “This could easily cause a wreck”-haha

  19. They are actually getting ready to pass a law here about the passing lane in Kentucky. NEEDS TO HAPPEN. its ridiculous when people go 45 in it.

    I love a good PB sandwich for dinner. Add in some chocolate chips on it next time to make it ‘classy’ 🙂

  20. LOL at the meme for Target vs. Walmart and the curlers! A peanut butter sandwich for dinner two nights in a row sounds yummy and easy! And I couldn’t agree more about the fun summer months flying by while the dreary cold winter months go by much slower. Enjoy every last ounce of this beautiful summer <3

  21. Ugh! Left lane hang-outers are the worst! Then, when you pass them, they give you this look like, “What?” Grrr…

    I, too, have to be careful not to indulge in a second wind right before bedtime. I can’t allow myself to do anything. Seriously, a harmless little “I’ll take a moment or two and put away some clothes” turns into a two hour organizational task. I’m all about tidying up, but during the hour or so before bedtime, I have to remember to just say no! LOL!

    Happy Wednesday to you!

  22. Girl, not weird! If I do something that wasn’t on my to-do list, I’ll add it to my to-do list just to immediately cross it off. 😉

  23. Hahahhaha the fine scale is so true!!! I haven’t had Subway in forever either. I prefer Jimmy Johns or Which Which. And now that they don’t even have the $5 footlong thing going for them? Probably never step foot in there again lol. I’ve had peanut butter sandwiches for dinner before. It is a viable option and totally legit! And nothing enrages me more than someone that wants to go super slow in the fast lane. Ugh!

    1. Yes, I was so bummed. I’m like well I WAS going to become a loyal customer again but… haha The fine thing is sort of an inside joke with my husband. He now knows when I say I’m fine, I’m totally not fine. 😉

  24. Is there really no more $5 footlong???! What? Next thing there will be no more $5.55 hot-n-ready pizza at Little Caesar’s. I actually at at Subway today but I’ve been away from the USA for two years so I don’t know what the prices are anymore, haha!

  25. I do the list thing too!! I have to feel like I’m accomplishing something! Mind games for sure! I don’t crave much in the way of food in the summer. Much too hot.

  26. Cereal is my go to for when nothing sounds good. I make lists all the time. Makes me feel good to mark stuff off. Like I really accomplished something.

  27. Couldn’t agree with you more about people who are casually cruising in the passing lane on the highway! It drives me (and my boyfriend) insane! Lovely confessions post for the month, Cara! It’s a great way to learn a little bit more about the blogger!
