CIGARETTES & NO REGRETS

Never regret anything. Even your last smoke.

YOLOing

Yoloing - A verb to describe making completely irrational decisions while saying ‘you only live once,’ to feel O.K. about them. 

Examples of yoloing:

- Buying a megaphone

- Yelling at someone about what you really think of them

- Drinking too much

Be careful! Yoloing may drain your bank account and might get you punched. But then again, YOLO. 

There’s a lot of hate on the word YOLO but it really should stop. YOLO is my motto. I only hate on Drake. As a side note, cats would probably have to say YOLNL - you only live nine lives. 

Vanilla Coke

Vanilla coke. Possibly the greatest thing to have the graced this world and one of the biggest cons to living in Canada. YOU CAN’T FIND THAT SHIT ANYWHERE. Some stupid CEO’s of CocaCola apparently decided not enough people liked it to produce it cans to be available to everyone. You can only find it in select states in the USA and the UK. What the heck right. But thank my lucky stars because vanilla coke found it’s way to me in two ways. I have a friend who is going down to the states and is willingly bringing me back some cans. I also found out that you can order vanilla coke from Amazon. Hello happy early birthday to me, love me in the form of vanilla coke. Holla holla. 

Alternatively you can go to 7-11 and work your magic on the Big Gulp machine but like, lame.

‘I don’t often smoke but when I do I drink vanilla coke.’

Thinspire

Summa time is on it’s way which means beach bods. For most of us, this is definitely an, ‘aw fuck,’ thought processing at the moment. Don’t freak out! There’s easy ways to drop that last 10 pounds without 7 hours of exercise a day and only eating cabbage. 

1. Start drinking water. Sometimes we think we’re hungry but we’re actually just thirsty. Drink lots of water before a meal so you don’t confuse your thirst with extra food.

2. Don’t be distracted while munching. Don’t eat in front of the T.V. while eating. Your brain can’t focus on when you’re actually full and you’ll eat way more than you need.

3. Cut out carbohydrates! Bread! White bread! White pasta! Doughnuts! Pastries! Cake! Bagels! I am a huge advocate for carbohydrates, to me, a meal sucks if I don’t get some huge serving of carbohydrates. You can get rid of all carbohydrates or eat more refined grains. Brown rice! Oatmeal! Whole wheat everything! Cutting out bagels, sweets, white bread and white pasta will make a huge difference to that little tummy pudge you’re rocking. It’s hard to do, but it is possible!

4. Eat more protein. Steak, chicken, peanut butter, eggs, nuts. Protein is good shit yo, don’t lack on it.

5. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Nuff said.

This skinny bitch ain’t wolfing down them bagels. Fuck. 

The Fanny Pack

My opinion on fanny packs had always been FUCK NO. They were something I thought represented lame tourists. Then something completely altered my perspective. I made a new friend and one of the first things we ever talked about was fanny packs. He explained to me how he would buy lining for his fanny pack so he could put chicken wings in it. He also told me how he’d carry his wallet and weed around with him too. This suddenly changed my perspective on fanny packs. I mean if I could carry around chicken wings, a fanny pack would be pretty awesome. I’ve had awkward jogging/biking/dog walking situations where a fanny pack could of been really helpful. I’m still undecided as to how I feel about how they look but chicken wings!

Then I found this picture of B wearing a glittery pink fanny pack. I pretty much need to go buy a fanny pack now. 

ARE YOU GOTH?

Red is awesome. It’s a punchy colour that screams. People notice you when you wear red. It’s not just reserved for Valentine’s Day or Christmas! The thing with red? If you wear it with black, I will ask you, ARE YOU GOTH? 

Red and black represent the devil, satan, the evil things in the world. Which is why it’s not unreasonable to ask the question, ARE YOU GOTH? when wearing red and black together. But how? How do you wear red? 

That’s easy. With white. Bright colours. Look sunny not mad. 

But seriously, ARE YOU GOTH?

Only Linds is aloud to be goth. 

Cigs

Interestingly enough that my blog name is Cigarettes & No Regrets, yet I haven’t posted about cigarettes until now. Let’s go over some basics. There is a definite difference between cigarettes and cigars.

Cigarettes - Made from lower grade tobacco which means they’re cheaper than cigars. Cigarettes have mo chemicals which causes mo problems (CANCER AND ADDICTION BITCHES). They look white, or caramel with a line marking the filter and are way smaller than cigars. 

Cigars - Made from quality tobacco. Usually made from a variety of tobaccos for the wrapper n layers. Cigar tobacco is usually aged. These puppies are non filtered and str8 up tobacco, no nicotine is found.  You don’t inhale cigars, you taste the smoke and then exhale. You may puke if you try to inhale cigar smoke. Cigars are also a stuffy smoke and take awhile to finish one. Cigars can cause mouth and throat cancer (BUT NOT LUNG!). They look fat and brown.

That’s all for now you naive kids.

Cigar and a teacup pig. How adorable.

TNA

The other day I was at Artizia because I sometimes venture in there to drool over Rag & Bone jeans. I wandered past a mother and daughter looking at phone cases. I eavesdropped on their conversation. Here is how the dialogue follows.

Mom: TNA?

Daughter: Yeah. It’s the brand.

Mom: But these are so ugly. And neon.

Daughter: Mom, they’re cool.

Mom: But honey, TNA totally stands for tits and ass. 

Daughter: Oh my god mom no it doesn’t.

*Daughter walks away all huffy. I laughed. Mom laughed with me. 


For all you curious readers TNA really stands for then, now, always but I believe tits and ass is a better label for the bustier tops and yoga pants. 

Cute! On a side note, TNA also stands for total nonstop action and has something to do with wrestling
