Take Precautions
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 | 56 Comments 
I “dun goof’d” 
on myself last night. 
I was scrubbing the bathroom tile with some Oxyclean. On hands & knees, toothbrush in hand scrubbing the tile grout. I had the doors open & vent on for ventilation. :good: But I got increasingly impatient (because I wanted to take a bath, lol) and decided to switch from cleaning small sections at a time to spraying the entire floor all at once! BIG MISTAKE. I wasn’t thinking… I’m usually so careful with these cleaners. I always think I’m gonna accidentally mix bleach & ammonia & end up killing myself. The fumes aren’t as obvious with Oxyclean because it doesn’t smell as strongly. Well I was sitting in the fumes much, much too long. 
Being all OCD scrubbing & re-scrubbing. 
After I was done I realized my eyes were super puffy & throat & nose SO SORE. My eyes dried out so badly that they’re still red today. 
GAAAAAAAH I’M SO CARELESS SOMETIMES!
I’ll be wearing my glasses until after the weekend plus no eyemake. Just to be safe you know. :(
Worst thing is I can’t tell if I’m getting sick or if it’s just the fume damage to my throat that has me feeling flu-ish. I have a few coworkers around the office that are sick. So I bought Vitamin C cough drops and AIRBORNE yesterday. 
I got a few winter (fall/winter) items this weekend at H&M. I can’t help myself, I crave fall again so badly!! I EXTREMELY LOVE this little collection they put out. 
It’s full of neutral tones and khaki 
and even has a felted bowler hat~ *_* OK, I must say I borderline hated bowler hats. 
I was quite, “Oh god, yea, I’ll pass this, wtf am I, clockwork orange!?” But then I tried it on & Mike was all “you look cuuute!” And… I really liked how it went with the other pieces from this collection. :!: SO I FUCKIN’ BOUGHT IT. HAH! I blame Emi and every other adorable model wearing it with wonderfully casual looks. 
BTW anyone notice all the Victoria’s Secret “PINK” style sweats in H&M right now? DNW. Why? There’s already plenty of stuff that looks like PINK stuff out there already. I thought maybe they teamed up or something, I don’t even know. I was just a bit taken back by it is all. Probably just trying to get in on the college girls buying up new semester comfies! LOL, Oh H&M~~
OK, I’m off to bed. Mmmmmm I need more time in my days~

aww, i hope you feel better!!!!! i hate being sick, especially during the summer. and super super cute clothes!!
Thanks, I do.
Aw, sorry to hear about your little incident in the washroom. I hope you feel better soon! I sometimes get impatient when cleaning the washroom too.
Omg, I am ALL ready for fall! It has been WAY too hot this summer that I just couldn’t do much layering with my summer outfits and it’s just too hot to be wearing anything. :(
Yea, it’s not fun so you just want it over with
Summer here has been record breaking hot! gaah! even the layer of bra + shirt can feel too much! haahaa!
You do look cute in your bowler hat! I love the striped shirt with the decor at the shoulders too. That looks like it’ll be a cute top to wear in the fall
I’m really looking forward to fall because of the fashion direction change. Spring/summer was all about colours, florals and girly fashions but it seems fall is completely opposite and there’s lots of more mannish styles & neutral colours. I love it!!
Thanks so much! Yea, I’m ready for muted colors again too. And boy styles. Spring I was all very FLORAL PRINT & LACE but I’m over it at this point, let’s get back into black & stripes!
aww i hope you feel better ): those chemicals should have a label saying WARNING, DON’T USE A LOT D:
Mmm I have a feeling maybe they do? Or the “be careful” warning label sorta covers it I guess, LOL! It’s my fault really.
I hope you feel better, why don’t you see a doctor? it’s safer.
otherwise I was wondering, what is your favorite brand of clothing?
take care of u
(in fact, participe in my little contest, see on my blog site!)
Nah, I don’t like going to the doctor so much. Usually they are incredibly useless and unnecessarily expensive.
My favorite brand of clothing? It depends I guess (since I have fav brands for work clothing & non-work clothing.) Right now the brand I get most excited about is WC the Japanese brand.
Ahh~ Get well soon Jenny!
There’s a flu bug going around here in Australia too lol.
Aw boo~ a winter flu bug though right?! Flu season X(
omg feel better! i hope you’re not getting sick before a trip :(
haha i do the same thing if someone tells me i look cute/good in something. even if i haaaated it before, i’ll change my mind if they say that kinda stuff. OH OUR EGOS.
Me too, but so far I’m feeling better each day! So yay!
Oh yes, and esp. if mike likes something I’ll change my mind b/c, really, he’s the only one I care about impressing right!
Awe Jenny, I hope you’re feeling better today! ;o; Cleaning fumes can be so dangerous too… Be careful!
On a happier note though, I absolutely love the H&M stuff you picked out this weekend! ♥ I’m craving fall/winter now too~ I think it’s all this wretched heat/humidity/rain, haha
The bowler hat does look really cute on you too, I agree with Mike! ;D
I am, thank you dear! I know, it’s now extra humid every day too with those storms ;_;
CUTEEEEE
i was just gonna say how cute the bowlers hat is
mike has great taste
glad u got all the items, looks like they’ll be useful soon, it’s getting a lot colder here
i hope u get well soon too
whether from the fumes or actual cold
i am pretty allergic to stuff too so @__@
Wow, you were so talkative in this comment
DDv
I think you’d look REALLY good in a bowler hat! It’s more easily your style than mine IMO
omgosh that sounds scary! Are u okay now/??? :O
I’m OK
whoaaa take care!! i get dizzy from cleaning the shower normally!
i hope you get well soon! take things easy and get back to 100%
oh and the bowler hat pic of you reminds me of rinka!~
WHY THANK YOOOOOOOOOU! Yea she was wearing one last winter I think?
I LOVE fall and winter coordinates so much more than spring/summer. I don’t know why, I feel like the only outfits I could put together that are “stylish” are layered and that just doesn’t work in summer, obviously. I really have no idea how to be fashionable with my summer clothes! haha ;;
I really hope you feel better! Hopefully it’s just lingering after-effects and will go away in a few days.
Exactly. I thought I’d get to layer more because our summers aren’t usually this extreme, but… no such luck.
Hope you’ll feel better soon :0
I love that big black and white stripe top~
I should start looking for fall clothes :/ all I have in my closet are spring/summer colourful clothes….. D:
I am, thank you! Yea, it felt great to buy some muted colors to be honest =Y
duuuuuuude I totally know what you mean about the OCD thing of crawling about the tiled floor with bleach-like cleaner and a toothbrush T_T. I’ve totally done that and right now I’m putting off cleaning my bathroom (I know, gross right) because I HATE getting all sweaty and gross cleaning the stupid tiny hot room while inhaling mass amounts of cleaner only to have someone step in and and take a nice shower before me! sobsob loool. You look adorable in the bowler hat though I gotta admit I dun like them too much since I look fantastically stupid in them with my oddly shaped head hahaha. How much longer till you’re off to Japan again?
I used to seriously spazz like that too!! You clean it then immediately ppl come in & destroy it!! I’m able to sorta cope with that now, but it took a looooong while haahaaa
I leave in 1 week
i hope you get better fast~ and i’m positive you learned from your mistake, so everything will be okay in the end~♪
i absolutely love the fall/winter clothes you got from H&M-you look really cute in them too! wah~ you’re so lucky….
Thanks, I think I am getting better!
Hey at least you clean! I went downstairs to make dinner and couldn’t even find the stove for all the dirty dishes! D: I feel like such a bad wife! Gotta keep up with at least the basic cleaning! D: lol
I’ve learned to love those types of sweats. Maybe I should head over to H&M & get some! I feel like they’d be cheaper than VS…
Yea I bet they were cheaper, VS are so $$$$ all the ones I have from them I bought on sale.
The bowler rocks like the English Beat haha
I heart stripes, they are classic and go with everything and are super versatile! Nice pick ups ☆〜（ゝ。∂）
INDEEDY IT DOES!
I have way too many stripes already. I’ve sorta just GIVEN INTO THEM rather than fight it anymore.
Eeeeee I hope you feel better! Don’t want you getting sick before your trip~~
Ahahah I told myself I’d never wear wedges and now look at thaaaaat I’m eying them quite heavily
I think maybe sometimes I don’t like things because I think they would look bad on me so I’m all “down with this trend” but really you never know until you try I guess!! WEDGES!! Wedges can be quite comfy
Oh man, you rock that bowler hat so well! Don’t see why you hated them, they look so darling on you~~!
I’m sorry that you’re not feeling well though. I haven’t been on top of the weather lately either. ;___; Its not fun, at all…
Also, I added you to my ‘Blog of Interests’ under my Links section on my new blog. I really hope you don’t mind!! D:
Well I hated them before I saw them on me! LOL, maybe because I thought I couldn’t pull it off? I often look really stupid in hats.
Oh I don’t mind AT ALL! Thank you! I don’t mind if people link me
Ahh cleaning chemicals! Not cool. I hope you get well soon. And yeah I’m so scared of mixing chemicals up too, but I don’t have to worry about that until I get my own house. Oh the dirtiness of college students…we rarely ever clean.
It’s pointless to even clean when roommates are around anyway. I used to try & it just ended in loathing!
I hope you feel better!
*-*

Thanks, I am mostly
Cyber police will get you for your carelessness! That vitamin C cough drops looks effective against your flu.
I can’t wait to use my discount coupons on H&M, I’m in real need of fall and winter clothes too!
It could be that the fumes trigger your body to all of a sudden, put up its defense, which then makes you body think its sick..of course, this is just my theory into how I think my body works.
But something similar has happened to me. Except we were working with ‘Spitfire’ or some sort of heavy duty chemical degreaser. I went into the physician, they gave me a prescripted inhaler and some antibiotics. they also suggested me to go get my chest examined because i wasn’t sure if that was the problem or not since I was complaining that my chest felt very heavy when I laid down. In the end, I figured it was some sort of lung irritation from the chemicals.
With a family of smokers, I hated it too. The slightest change in air threw me into a coughing frenzy.
Anyways, with antibiotics I’m sure it’ll go away…Get well soon.
hope you’re feeling better! take care. =)
Aw no feel better soon! I hope it clears up quick.
I like those neutral trousers
They’re very cute.
Hope you’re ok now! Please take care of yourself!
Love your new clothes, it looks so cute on you! Neutral colors is very useful for any coordination! ’cause we don’t wanna overcolor our look! xD I like your coordination!
Yeah i super agree with you… more time in days nooooooooow!u.u
Hope you are feeling better. My brother encountered that before too when he was helping around to clean the bathroom lady time. So I can understand how bad it was!! :(
I just went to local bookstore to get the sept and oct issue of Popsister magazine. I am so happy with my little purchase … Just to share ：）
This is a question that is pretty much unrelated to your post, but… Do you still wear your circle lenses? I heard on the news a while ago that circle lenses were banned from the United States because they can damage your eyes or something… Just curious. :T
Oh no!! You poor thing! I can imagine how annoying it is. Having sore and puffy eyes from cleaning. *sad*
hope you feel much better soon!
Sorry for lack of comments lately, I still follow your blog n tumblr diligently.
Which reminds me, hope things work out with the dr thing as well.
Seems like you’re having a not so good week.
I think you are needing a nice bath, some yummy food and lots of day dreaming about your trip to japan!
*smiles*
I really appreciate your comment/asking, you’re so sweet~~ Yesterday was an incredibly emotional day but today is a new day & with each passing day I’ll feel better
I actually got home from work & went straight to a hot bath too. No worries about being a silent reader. I’m a huge RSS reader so I’m often a silent reader of blogs. Sometimes you just don’t have anything to add/comment on but it doesn’t mean you’re not enjoying the blog posts 
I’m glad today is a better day already! =)
I guess we need blah days to appreciate the really good ones. Haha. Go positive thinking!!
But yeah, I agree with you, sometimes there isn’t much to comment about or somebody else has already said what you wana say…
But i’ll still say hi once in awhile to let you know I’m still a big fan! =D
Oh my. I didn’t know toilet cleansers are so dangerous! I don’t have an apartment of my own so I don’t clean the bathroom! I do once in a while but not with any cleaning agent though.
Love the H&M collection too!
Sorry my comment came so late, hope you are feeling better now!
I think I have the same black skirt as you! The one with the long silver zipper~~~ And I agree, I’m super excited for fall fashion! Favourite fashion season for me! *loves the layers* The only thing i’m not looking forward to is the cold!! =O
ive been feeling a little soar throarty too recently which makes me worry for sure!! I really hope its not a cold or flu!!! But i’m taking precautions as well. ( i hope its just allergies ^-^)
After i saw your H&M snaps I RAN THERE LITERALLY to find that bowtie shirt, but it was like 40+ for a shirt with a rayon necktie….uh no tanks!
found some other great stuff though
