Nestlette

What are women known for having?? Intuition! Yes, at times it seems like we over-think, over-analyze – and you (men) may even say “dwell” (eyes rolling). But, when it comes down to it, you can’t deny that our instincts (which help us make such wise decisions) are right. Especially when it comes to things we know, like cooking (that’s gonna burn…), cleaning (that’s gonna stain…), children (that’s gonna hurt…). But what about shopping – the part of being a Nestlette that a Nestlette adores!?

Unfortunately, here is where our powerful intuitive supersenses are weakened. Shopping is like cryptonite. We might have been able to say “No” to dessert but when it comes to a sales pitch, some of them can be really convincing. And what happens? Buyers remorse. It is cruel…but it can be prevented.

Would I have preferred a refund for enduring the stress of being put at risk for choking on a bone and damaging my esophagus? Yes. But a coupon would do just fine and while I am apprehensive to try it again (it happened twice), it was the thought that counted. (more…)

If you are trying to make a point, adding “literally” to your statement doesn’t help your cause unless you really mean that something actually took place without exaggeration or inaccuracy. Usually, literally is used to emphasize some sort of figurative expression:

• I am running around in circles.
• The cupcake was calling my name.
• You are beating a dead horse.

These sayings don’t need emphasis – they were created to emphasize – that is their purpose. I think it’s best to leave them at it and let them do their job. (more…)

Thanks Tom Turkey!
