Colorado Kimmie

Most people who read my posts know my story.  I relocated to Boulder County, Colorado from the East Coast March 2020 right as the world would forever be changed.   The beginning of the infamous “two weeks to break the curve” turned into “shelter in place” and ask no questions whatsoever - you best  trust the science, or else - with relentless propaganda repeated in cycles!  My next post will discuss the power of social conditioning, or brainwashing, through repetition.  So stay tuned! They say there’s really no good time to start a business, to do a major relocation, or start something scary and totally new.  But, wow, like I got dealt one of the worst undeniable possible scenarios in what otherwise would have been the most exciting moments of my life.  Often times I wonder about the many other people who packed up their cars to move to a new city across the country to be completely blindsided by the unforeseen events and met with despondent masked mob...

 Hey Guys!   I worked legit all weekend on launching a website!  I had no idea how long it required one person to sit completely still until completion.  However, after about 100 people in a row asked me if I had a website for my soaps, I figured maybe I should.  So, I did.  I consider it my virtual Farmer's Market.  Business cards are en route.  So, I present to you my website, ColoradoKimmiesDopeSoaps.com . This weekend, I made a few soap sets inspired by the changing season and impending Autumn - and quite honestly completely forgot how much I love taking raw ingredients and crafting them into a satisfying end result of exquisite artisan soaps.  Every time I make a new batch, I take one for selfishly for bathtub.  I love each and every one of my creations. There are a few things that make my soaps unique and a bit harder to sell online.  First, my signature soap bars are called "Colorado Kimmie's Beach Bars," and they smell ...

Brrrrrrr! Scientific fact: when things get cold they contract.  In rifles and guns they use cryo to vacuum out the air in the chamber to make the metal rigid and molecularly extremely strong. Last week I tried cryo therapy for the first time ever!  I’m one of those brave people who will try most anything once.  Plus, I had been hearing about all the health benefits and thought I’d give it a whirl, especially since this place in Denver was offering intro prices of $10! The health benefits include a variety of bonuses: lymphatic health, reduction in inflammation for athletes, runners, bikers, and an increase in production of collagen (among other things - these were just a few benefits that interested me).   And, I had a lymph node that had been sticking out since the COVID variants and was told that some people who come into contact will have a lymph node harden for 6 months to a year.  And after one session of cryotherapy my lymph node disappeared! Okay, so here...

 I learned this a long time ago.  A lion does not have to tell others he/she is a lion.  Other people will just automatically know and recognize a lion when they see one.  On the flip side, a person demonstrating narcissistic and arrogant behavior is revealing deeply rooted insecurities and hurt.  I will repeat this.  People who seem narcissistic and cocky are the most INSECURE people to walk the face of the Earth!  Arrogance is one of many masks a person will wear to hide their insecurities. What can be their insecurities? That they're not good enough (even if they are). Not intelligent enough (even if they are smart as a whip). Body dysmorphia (even if they are perfect). Weaker to their competition (even if they are the strongest). They may constantly feel slighted by the opposite sex (even when they aren't). Bottom line, these insecurities are rooted inside a person's head and have absolutely nothing to do with you.  When someone acts like an a...

Annnnd the winning numbers arrrrre… The Mega Millions lotto went down a few weekends ago, and I was eating guacamole and fajitas with friends and washing it down with cerveza as they called the winning numbers.  Nobody at our table won, unless you consider that guacamole a win (which I did, along with the Texas-style mesquite fajitas).  There were many winners that night all over the country, but I’m pretty sure the big winner was an airline flight attendant from Illinois.   The state of Illinois is fortunately one of the states that doesn’t require a posting of the winner and actually allows anonymity, which is a good thing!  People will come crawling out of the woodwork as soon as they publish your name, and winners have attested to this nightmare to the point many published winners have to go into hiding and become a recluse.   She cuts her teeth on wedding rings in the movies  I had always heard, in passing, about the curse of the lottery, but I never r...

Ello Mates! I was sitting on the back of a boat full of guys after tying off with my friend.  We had paddle boarded from her boat over to a boat party where these guys offered us pizza.  We were being handed beer and jello shots for just being cute in a bikini, and the club music was pumping.  A boat of 20 somethings had just cruised into the cove and were booty dancing on one of those inflatable dance floors.  The sun was beaming and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.  The breeze was incredible...which brings me to some theme music.  What's a Colorado Kimmie blog without some tunes ?  Sorry no club music here... Okay, where was I?  Oh yeah...so having already experienced a black out drunk moment my first time on a lake in Colorado, I knew that you really have to know your limits, have plenty of food, and plenty of water.  The sun exacerbates and highly amplifies the sedative effects of a delicious alcoholic beverage.   Most people ha...
