to counteract the whine-y-ness of the last few posts... here's a "katy's new favourite things" post...

1. tea tree oil baths. add 1/2 tsp 100% pure tea tree oil to a clear, warm bath. i'm still... i'm not sure what the word is. it's not quite strong enough to call tingling, but man does it feel good.

2. frozen blueberries. on their own, or even better, in plain yogurt. for extra fun, don't defrost them first... they'll freeze all the liquid surrounding them... instant frozen yogurt!

3. snowstorms in april. go whistler go.

4. pure, unsweetened cranberry juice -- very diluted. it's tart, but not sour... so tart, in fact, that the aftertaste is sweet, somehow... it's like a reaction on your tongue.

5. dogs. i want a dog.

6. ron burgundy. "don't act like you're not impressed!"

7. products that are organic/made in canada/not tested on animals/all natural/biodegradable/hypoallergenic/etc. whistler, perhaps not so surprisingly, is a gold mine for it. there is enough of a selection that you can pick through the shitty products that don't work, and find the wonderful stuff that does. makes you feel like a responsible consumer and a decent human being. (can you tell i'm on a kick right now? and i like it.)

8. fireplaces in your bedroom. i mean, seriously.

9. virginia woolf. i finally read a book of hers that i really, thoroughly enjoyed: to the lighthouse. it was only about a hundred billion times better than orlando.

10. good friends. fuck yeah, i have some seriously awesome friends. and family. how blessed am i?
