| Did you know nuts are fruits?
I kinda figured.
I was looking in the back of my walnut bag while munching on them and 1/4 cup is 200 calories. So much calories. But apparently, walnut is high in this Omega-3 Fatty Acid, which is good for you. Of course, everything should be eaten moderately.
Then for my curiosity, I had to wiki 'nuts'.
Nut is a hard shelled fruit of some plants that has an indehiscent seed. (Wikipedia)
I guess if you're not convinced: when you eat an almond, after peeling or cracking the hard shell, the almond that you eat is the seed that can grow another almond tree. Just like a seed from a tomato or an apple.
I wished I had Kirkland Vanilla icecream right now. Love to eat it with chocolate syrup and walnuts. Also, Buca di Beppo's Apple Gorganzola Salad with the apples and walnuts is very delicious too.

| Washing hair can become an addiction. I remember when I was young, I only washed my hair every five days because I had long hair. Also, I never used conditioner. Kind of the same reason why I never knew softener existed until college. (Always wonder why kid's PE clothes are so much softer than mine, and hair is more smooth).
I think starting some point in elementary school, my friends told me that they wash their hair everyday, so I decided to wash my hair everyday as well. During college, I realize that I can never grow my hair long anymore because it always split when it grows up to a certain point. Kind of sad when I tried so hard to grow enough hair to donate to that organization. Figured that even when they receive my hair, most damaged hair would be picked out. Gets quite frustrating to see unhealthy hair. I don't even dye, curl, straighten my hair.
A few weeks ago I decided to wash my hair every other day. It is very uncomfortable as I'm used to seeing puffy/volume soft hair every day. The hair would look greasy. Also, scalp gets a bit itchy. But the greasiness is natural hair oil. And scalp gets itchy because it used to its previous dryness. Hopefully, I stick to the plan.
:) Swedish people takes bath/shower every other day. So Americans probably obsessed with hygiene.

| So I understand that sick people (catching a severe cold or flu) deserve a little more love and a little bit more understanding. I know it sucks to be sick. It feels like the whole world hurts. It feels like the world is crumbling. Yes, it sucks to be sick.
But can't they be a little bit more understanding instead of subtlety blaming everyone for causing their immune system to fail? I always wonder when a sick person is so fragile and lethargic, how in the world do they have the energy to be mad at the world? If I were sick, I would probably be too tired to care and just want to sleep all day long like a polar bear hibernating his winter. | | |
