I am trying out a standing desk. The recent buzz is that sitting down all day is bad for you. (See also: articles on Lifehacker & Forbes.) Up-and-coming health trends should be taken with a hefty tablespoon of salt, but I follow several of them anyway. For example, I don't eat most kinds of processed sugar, especially the ubiquitous sucrose, but I bake with agave syrup and coconut palm sugar. My rules for myself aren't completely rational; there are inconsistencies. Regardless, it just makes sense to me that eating less sugar is healthier. I feel the same way about standing rather than mooching around in my armchair. So I'm doing a trial run with a setup similar to this one. My ideal arrangement would be a gorgeous wood pulpit.
Day one observations: I am more energetic and active than usual. If there is music playing, I will dance while I'm typing. In fact, I am doing that right this minute, because my mom is streaming Miranda Lambert's Crazy Ex Girlfriend from her laptop.
My armband thingy is actually supposed to be a mug cozy. Simple outfits are perfect for accessories and OTT makeup:
Weirdly, my random Instagram #selfie demonstrates the drama better.
I wish I could wear armbands. I have long had a desire to wear a golden snake one, just once in my life ;-)
ReplyDeleteSadly, the shape of my arm doesn't seem to lend itself much to the whole rigid armband concept...
Maybe Karen can felt you a golden snake armband! That'd be cool as heck!
DeleteCrazy for your felted armband and dramatic makeup. Grrr.. fierce!
ReplyDeleteAlso, poor Miranda - it looks like they airbrushed out the bridge of her nose.
Thank you. And I think you're right, alas!
DeleteI've never heard of a standing desk, what an interesting idea! I have found that I work a lot better when I'm sitting up straight at my desk than lounging on the couch. I love your eyeshadow! I used to wear color all the time but haven't in years, I'd like to start again.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's really fun to play with! I hope you decide to start using color again and then blog about it!
DeleteWait, standing desks? That's a thing!? How is it going?
ReplyDeleteGood. . . but also standing up all the time sucks =P
DeleteI want to go down on you
