Mmmmmmm

A friend introduced me to a drink called Chi and it is pretty amazing.  Great taste, refreshing and the best part, no sugars and calories!  Now the calorie part doesn't bother me but the no sugar is very important to me and I could drink these all day.  A LOT of the sparkling water drinks have zero flavor to me and usually it makes me even more thirsty or my mouth dry.  But this, it has a lot of flavor without any after tastes you would get from artificial sweeteners and the flavors are really good.  I would say the cans are small (11.16 fl. oz) compared to a regular can of soda (which is 12 fl. oz).  I think with the cans being skinnier but slightly taller it feels much smaller than what we are used to but one can is still a good amount.  The pack at Costco only has four flavors which are lychee, peach, pomelo and my favorite, strawberry but honestly all four flavors are good.  I have seen pictures of a grape and orange which I would very much be interested in trying both but I don't see any where that sells the individually (yet), just in that four pack of flavors at Costco.  Maybe those are two new flavors but I'll drink them all!

Weekly Update:
One of the tools I am using to try and declutter my stuff is eBay.  I can't remember if I talked about this before but it warrants another mention.  Now, I am trying to declutter for the past several years and been doing it through eBay for the most part.  It's semi-easy but not quick because you never know when someone may be looking for something you have so you just have to keep reposting it.  But at least reposting is a simple two click process and that makes it using it very attractive.  I would say I probably sell about 10 to 12 things a year but they range from something the size of a ring or pin to a big board game sized item.  It is very random and when it's something small, I don't even notice the impact it makes in redeeming space in my house.  When it's something big, that is awesome and I see the small difference but the challenge with that is finding the right size box to ship things in.  You don't want to oversize the box because then you have to find extra packing materials plus the bigger the box, the more expensive the shipping.  The smaller the item, the easier the shipping (an inexpensive) but the impact of space it makes, negligible.  But what is the overall impact is the money that I can earn and set aside, that is the best part and I'm not just throwing stuff away... my junk is someone else's treasure as they say.  

At the movies:
No surprise holding ground at #1 is Project Hail Mary with another 54.5 million and that is an incredibly small drop of only 32% from week 1.  It is at 164 mil cume and should hit 200 probably by mid-week at this pace. Also holding at #2 is Hoppers with 12.2 mil more and gradually slowing down. New at #3 is They Will Kill You with 5 mil and probably a quick burn out.  Drop down to #4 is Dhurandha The Revenge with an extra 4.8 mil and will continue to fade out.  Holding again at #5 is Reminders of Him with 4.7 mil which is surprising but should be out by next week.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week at #10 is Forbidden Fruits with only 1.2 mil on a wide release and only doing less than $800 per screen.
