Okay, this one is a toughie for me because I don't really like to talk about this, except maybe with my best friend. I don't like to openly admit, out loud, to others (on the Internet!) what my body hang ups are. However, this is an open, safe space and we agreed to share and just be totally honest. So, here goes nothing...
If I could change something about myself, it would be my...

Okay, this is a little bit of a weird one this week, but I heard this discussed on the radio and was shocked at what I heard.
The morning show I listen to, has two men and two women. The men were all for shower peeing, claming it saves time, is sterile, and isn't a big deal. The two women were totally grossed out and did not agree.
I spoke to a few of my friends before posting this, wondering if I should go there, and most of the girls I asked said they did, but one said, 'I bet 60% of women do but half won't admit it'.
I personally don't think there is anything wrong with it, and totally 'go there'. I mean, why waste time (and toilet paper) if you don't have to? (Haha)
Are you brave enough to Chat about this?
About a year ago, I was shopping at Old Navy and upon arriving at the fitting room, this cheerful middle-aged woman greeted me with an uber friendly, 'Would you like to try those on, love?' I smiled big, felt warm inside and said yes. She showed me to a room and that was that. When I left, despite not finding anything to purchase, she said, 'Have a good day, love!' and I just felt so special. So much so, that I had to tell her that her cheerful demeanor and pet names made me feel happy and that it was really nice to come across someone so sweet and friendly in retail.
I personally love it when people use pet names; love, sweetie, hon, beautiful, etc., even if I don't know them. It just makes me feel nice inside and who doesn't love a friendly person?
That said, I know some people that hate when others use pet names (a friend said, 'I don't know them, why are they calling me pet names reserved for special people in life?').
So sound off: love or hate?

I was listening to the radio the other morning, and they were talking about full service gas stations and how you should tip them. I'm often of the mind-set, 'When in doubt, tip' but it had never crossed my mind to tip at the gas station (which I'm kind of embarassed to admit). Admitidly you are paying more for full service, and I guess that was my rationale.
When it comes to tipping, other than restaurant servers, who do you tip?

After such positive and great feedback on last week's discussion (thank you!), I've decided to post these on Wednesday's and call them our, Let's Chat posts. Please chime in within the comments below, I love hearing from you all, and it's fun to interact.
When I was single, I went on several dates and remember one date asking me if I ever kissed on the first date. What a surprising question and one I had to think about it. The answer was no, since being re-single, but not because I think it's bad. In fact, I don't think there is anything wrong with a kiss on the first date, but for me, up until that point, I guess I never felt comfortable with most dates or ready for that step.

Kissing can be so intimate, or it can be so impersonal. I remember not having any reservations about it when I was younger, but as I've gotten older, I totally shy away from the idea, as if it's something I reserve for a few dates in.
What about you, do you kiss on the first date? Or did you?

* Do you wash your clothes before you wear them?
I was thinking of starting up a weekly series here, of thoughtful topics we could discuss, in a safe environment. We could get a little risqué sometimes, or keep it clean other times. I love hearing from you in the comments, getting your feedback, opinions and hear about similarities or even differences among us all. What'd ya think?
Today I wanted to talk about laundry (keepin' it clean for this first post; clean...get it?).
When you purchase a new piece of clothing, do you wash it before you wear it?
I never washed my clothes before wearing them (except undies), despite being a bit of a germophobe but I like leaving the tags on until I go to wear it for the first time. A few years ago though, I started to wash everything before wearing it, but am now back at wearing before washing usually.
The other day however, I got home from shopping and had a ton of laundry to do, so after slight hesitation, I removed all the tags to my new Zara clothes and washed 'em up. Unfortunately, one of the tops shrunk so bad (it didn't even touch the dryer) it doesn't fit. I am so disappointed, I didn't even get to wear it once. And so, the dilemma of washing before wearing.
So, do you wash before wearing?
* The photos are from my Instagram and I often wonder if I should post them here or not because I don't want things to become too repeatitive for you guys... but then I figure not everyone has Instagram so I should share some here too. Thoughts on that?
