Obsessions: 09.21.18

Hello from Cleveland, where our professional football team has won an actual game! In other thrilling news, Hannah and Michelle have their ten-year high school reunion this weekend. If anyone has any family or medical emergencies they’ll need our help with around 8 pm on Saturday, please feel free to call and we’ll be there immediately. Anyways, here’s what we’ve been thinking about this week in our And Then We Tried obsessions.

Keto, again.

Alright, so I’m back on the Keto train. Today is day four for me and I have managed to stick with it, even on a trip to Barrio. I had two Skinny Skeletons and one single chip with queso, go me. I’m struggling to come up with meals that don’t rely so much on full-fat dairy, but the heavy cream Butter Masala I made for myself last night was legit. So far, I’m eating a lot of avocados, cottage cheese, nuts, and yogurt. Aldi also has these Grilling Cheese patties now and they are so so so tasty, but they can’t be microwaved so I can’t enjoy them for lunch at work. Hit me up with your tips for vegetarian keto meal planning!

Architectural Justice

I went with Erika and her parents to Architectural Justice in Medina last weekend and it was AMAZING. They have a slab yard, which is what dreams are made of, and a ton of cabinets, lighting, tile, flooring, and other home stuff inside. We were able to find a counter top and backsplash for her parent’s kitchen remodel, and everyone there was so helpful. I’d love to go back and take a full tour to learn more about all the services they offer there, and to touch those slabs again. After we finished up at the design room we headed to the cafe for lunch. They use the cafe to showcase some of their products and the food was great. Erika and I both got French 77s which are now my fave bubbly cocktail.

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before

to all the boys i've loved before

I finally watched the internet’s new favorite movie and I’m in love. Not only did I watch it Sunday night, I then watched again Monday and have been listening to the soundtrack all week. Who gave this movie the right to be so cute? I’m probs going to watch it again tonight. Also, is anyone else convinced that Noah Centineo is just young Mark Ruffalo in some sort of 17 Again situation?

Benefit Brow Contour Pro

I picked up this handy little tool when Michelle and I were in Boston a few weeks ago and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. We all know the importance of a well-groomed eyebrow, but I’m not exactly skilled in the makeup department. I’ve been using Glossier Boy Brow for a while and loving it, but I was ready to take my eyebrow game to the next level. Enter: this four-in-one eyebrow pencil. It has a light and dark shade for filling in your actual eyebrow, and then two shades for defining and highlighting around the brow. This foolproof tool makes it look like I actually know what I’m doing! The price tag is a little high ($34) but I think that now that I know the strategy I might be able to recreate this with cheaper products in the future.

Attaching a wood fence to a chainlink fence

As I mentioned in my last fence/gate update post, I helped Erika attach a wood fence to the chainlink fence in her backyard. The process was similar to when I converted a chainlink fence to a wood fence, except in this case, we left the chainlink fence intact. This method is a good option if you want to add a little more privacy to your yard or camouflage a chainlink fence while you wait to save up for a completely new fence.

Fence Updates and Two-Panel Wood Driveway Gate Plans

Hellooooo, I’m thinking about fences again! You all had the pleasure of following along as I moved and rebuilt the fence in my backyard and then converted a chainlink fence into a wood fence along my driveway, and now it’s finally time to build that driveway gate. Of course, I can’t just build a driveway gate and leave it at that, I’ve also decided to cap the entire fence to cover up the dogear pickets and give everything a cleaner and more finished look. HOORAY!
