Computer Desk – Left Legs

I recently bought a computer desk for $30, and a 7up crate for $5. I bought both of them at garage sales. I used 7-up crate to hide a massive amount of clutter. Inside the crate, I put two external hard drives, a fan to cool the hard drives, an extension cord, 3 AC adapters, and a lot of wires.

*The black box on top of the 7up crate is a battery backup system for my computer. 

Bathroom #1

Here’s a picture of my master bathroom, AKA bathroom #1

I only buy Q-Tips and body lotions from Costco.  3 packs of Q-Tips last about 3 years. I take about 10 minutes to put the Q-Tips neatly in the container as pictured.

I got colognes over the years for various reasons. The oldest bottle of cologne is Tuscany. I received it about 27 years ago from a girl who had a crush on me. Bottle of Gucci is 20+ years old.

I rarely wear colognes. Sometimes I wear cologne on Sunday when I’m home alone. Colognes are like music. Some people will love your smell. But it will make a lot of people gag. So, please think twice when you wear perfumes or colognes to work. I guarantee you some of your co-workers are talking about your smell behind your back.

Sometimes, I wear fragrance when I’m with a female companion, but ONLY after she approves the smell.

Takeya Thermoflask Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle 40 oz (Twin Pack)

You pay less at Costco for 2 bottles, compared to a single bottle from Amazon.

If you are lucky enough to find these Takeya Thermoflasks at your local Costco, just so you know, this is a really good price. This twin pack was $34.99. Usually, a single canister goes for $35. These high-quality canisters keep cold drinks cold for 24 hours, and hot drinks hot for 12. I haven’t used it yet, but I believe this is a good buy.

This is why I shop at Costco frequently. I never know what I’m going to find. 

Amazon is selling the identical bottle for $32.18 (plus shipping). 
So, you pay less at Costco for 2 bottles, compared to a single bottle from Amazon.

Sodastream Soda Water

I like Diet Coke. In fact, I like soda of any kind. They taste so good and I have a huge craving for them. I also know they are bad for me. I drink soda once or twice a month. I wish I can quit soda completely. 

I’ve been drinking soda water from Sodastream I bought at a garage sale ($2). It’s been satisfying my craving for Diet Coke somewhat.
