I dreaded going.  Voodoo doughnuts  is a cult so actually I had to go!  Otherwise how would you know about it?  So we went, Tom and I on a Sunday morning.  By the way, he still has not forgiven me for my last post!  We added it into our hike making sure we skirted the Mission where all the homeless hang out.  That is sort of where Voodoo doughnuts is located, not the greatest part of town.  It’s also infamous for it’s lines and if there’s anything I hate it’s standing in line.  But anything for my faithful readers!  Standing in line in this town is a right of passage.  I have never seen so many lines outside of restaurants, doughnut shops, ice cream parlors anywhere else.  It has to be Social Media and the younger generation seems to have nothing better to do than join lines.

A cream filled delectable treat.  Then there is the signature:

He got a little messy on the way home.

Portland is a series of discoveries!

From Real Simple Magazine:  Finding Motivation on Monday:

Slap On Some Lipstick

A 2011 study found that women who wore just a touch of makeup looked more competent than those who go bare-faced.  Try a classic Red, which has the power to make even a so-so outfit look polished.

I rest my case.

Tell me, is Portland unique in the lines category??
