- I also enjoy saltine crackers with jelly, except I prefer strawberry. I'll have to try it the Carrie way though, with Vogue!
- I always drink a bottle of Voss or Fiji water before bed while reading Nylon magazine.
- Giving myself pedicures and manicures right after a shower.
- I love to have lunch, watching TV uninterrupted, when nobody else is home.
- I give myself facial masks and then sip lemon iced tea while watching Gilmore girls reruns, letting it work on my face.
- I hide fruit in the fridge in a secret spot just for me.
- Making Mocha Cafe with marshmallow creamer every morning to drink before work.
- Watching "girly" TV on DVD just before bed while eating a freshly made fruit salad.

i want to put my make up alone and i prefer shop alone :) weird:D
ah we have a few things in common.. i always drink a bottle of water before bed while reading a magazine. except its poland spring water and INSTYLE mag.. and a few times a week i give myself a facial while drinking green tea though.. i watch rerun episodes of full house on my laptop during that time lol.
great ssbs! i can relate to all of them. i love eating alone with the tv- the peace is unbeatable. i also love reading magazines in bed! i have a certain routine when i come home everyday that includes outfit pictures, checking my email, and eating, and i hate when i can't do the whole list of things, in order!
Ooh this is such a great post! For me there are a couple:
*I apply lavendar lotion on my elbows, knees and feet right before bed
*Eating uncrustable sandwiches frozen
*ALWAYS say I love you to my hubby over the phone EVERY time we talk...even if it's for 2 seconds
I love eating sea salt potatoe chips while reading on the couch in complete silence. And I love watching the cast comentary of Lord of the Rings (any of the three)over and over again. Scary, I know.
i love being alone, i reearch tons of wierd things, i blog alot and read articles online.
i play dress up and stare at the mirror for some time lol listen to wild music and dance. i rearange my room daily .

Oh golly! I can't just think of a single secret behaviour but i have a couple, like:
- Always having to kiss/rub Beckett's head/neck at night (he coos and chirps, its so so lovely)
- If i sit for a prolonged period of time my legs must be crossed otherwise i get super fidgety from the discomfort
- I crave marmite (a salty NZ spread) with cheese everyday
- I find it difficult to fall asleep if i havn't read anything just before hand.
Not so secret anymore (not that they were terribly revealing) ;)
Btw, what are saltine crackers?
Oh and to do the striking thing its like writing a command fro something bold or underlined except instead of writing a "b" or "u", you input and "s" for strike. Hope that helped! :)
I have the same "quality me-time" with a feel good meal (McDonald's!) while watching TV when I'm home alone :) it's perfect.
I also watch TV to unwind before bed. usually to Friends, Sex and the City, or Gilmore GIrls.
I like laying out at the poolside to sun while reading my Vogue.
Something I also try to do weekly or every other week is to have a foot scrub with paraffin or pedi while reading Bazaar, Elle, or Vogue.
so many fun girly things that I love to do when I get downtime from work and other stuff! this is such a fun entry, babe. and that poster is beautiful. I wish I could be as professional with photoshop!

that's so funny...i also hide fruit in a secret spot.
& i watch old episodes of "dawson's creek" on dvd at 3 in the morning. how embarrassing is that? :)
Love you SSB post, sadly I have none as I am not single! Just wanted to stop by and say I love your blog, the interview with What is reality anyway was so great, and I love her blog as well. Also, I just linked to your blog on mine, I'm trying to get a little more following and seeing as how thats how I discovered you I was wondering if you would consider linking to me as well? I'm at http://turntheworldon.blogspot.com. Thanks either way!
My S.S.B. is drinking ginger tea and watching Seinfield before bed and mediating and streching in the morning while sipping on some hot lemon water :)

Hahaha, Erica, this post is so cute!
I love Fiji water and nylon, lol. I'm not sure what my own personal secret thing to do is . . . I love to binge on some type of Ben and Jerry's ice cream while reading x17online! I also love to just dress up with makeup and sexy clothes and heels and dance in my mirror. If I ever come home drunk from a night out with friends I won't go to bed, I'll stay up and play oldschool video games (Sega and Super nintendo)! Hahaha...
Love this!
xo, Mavi
What a fantastic post!
Hmm...
-I love to eat Kraft macaroni and cheese while watching trashy reality shows.
-I watch an episode of The OC while doing the elyptical at my house, or two episodes of Sex and the City, otherwise I lose motivation.
-When I blow dry my hair, I always read fashion magazines to help pass the time and cure boredom.
-I eat wheat toast with grape jelly every day I'm at school :)
-In the summer I lay in my pool for hours reading British and French Vogue.
Seriously, what a fun post!
Hey Erika!
Lovely post as always! :)
hmm...what's my SSB?
- I love sushi and if I could I'd eat it every single day!
- I fall asleep watching The Sex and the city movie on my Iphone! ( I don't have tv in my room, lol)
- I love going through old magazines to see how much the styles have changed or returned.
Well...these are just some of many...Can't give all my secrets away, right? :-P
i like vogue and tea in bed on sundays...
your adroable...girly TV with fresh fruit just sounds divine!
frassy (hearts) fashion chalet

Right now all my behaviour is single, much to the disgust of the boy thing who likes to think we're a couple haha.
I'm dreading the day when I have to give up my little quirky habits!
I like to lounge around in my daggy pajamas. And bake cookies - just for myself. :)
Hmmm, reading stories/magazines/brochures/books I love over and over ;)
How you doing beautiful girl?

Haha love it! Fruit Salad and Gilmore Girls reruns = amazing!!! Annnd it has to be strawberry jam above all other flavours.
Great post!
I love lazying around in nothing but boyshorts and a guy's tee, doing my nails, drinking Coke Zero and watching my shows (medical dramas always go well with this medical soul :P). Also, dancing to Muse/Fall Out Boy/My Chemical Romance in the morning :))
haha! I love this!!... hmmm. my SSB..??? I like to drink miso soup out of a coffee mug..and i like frozen peas..really weird right? haha oh well.

Haha, I know what you mean about the ads. Lets just say I started noticing the jewelery after a couple of minutes of staring ;)
Oh, I totally forgot to mention my glasses! They're part of all of my SSBs and I love wearing them most around the house, paired with a comfy outfit.
After your post I suddenly have a feeling I'll be buying saltine crackers tomorrow!
Is very nice and girly your post.I will think on that and do my list.:)
nice, fun post, for me, i have to read one of my fashion magazine or browse my fashion folders on Ipod before i go to sleep. :)
hope you weekend went well!!!xx
SATC = best show in the history of the universe.
And I love this post, I can't imagine how I'll ever live without my SSB's. Some of mine include: dancing around the house to awful music, taking ridic pics of myself with photobooth, staring in the mirror for hours trying crazy hairstyles, and also I could live off Corn Pops and Clementines.
I don't think I have time to list them all in this little box!
lol-xxx
Have so many too !
Crackers are my faves too, the mythic ' Gran Pavesi ' ( italian institution xD ).
Sometimes I'm working ( for school ) at breakfast, it's so much fun when you're not enterely awake, eating and drinking your tea and pretend to ' work ' !
And I eat tons of biscuits or Special K when I'm listening to a soccer play ( italian again ! xD ) because I'm SO stressed !! xD
I usually eat fruit during the meals, but the fruit salad must be something.... hmm, need to test it !
Ow and I don't talk about smoking, because well... not a cool habit at all !
Hello's...haha, such a brilliant post the one thing I adore is kickboxing, haha.
Peace and Ribbons...
Prettyneons X
So funny to see that everybody does weird things and not just me!
mmmm...i have so many...
I love to have long walks alone in the Barcelona's gothic quarter (so rommantic).
I love to dance music that puts me up.
I need a chocolate piece daily
I love to drink red tea while in front of my laptop
I have an obsession with ice-cream and cookies (my friends call me the Cookie Monster, seriously).
XX
naked time
calms me down
*bisous*
I like to go for a long walk at NIGHT right after Dinner, or after a really boring Night CLASS. It, RELAXES me. Sometimes I'll buy an ICEE or Snow CONE to accompany me. :-)
SxD
Your life sounds so relaxing and fun.. Judging by your secret single behaviour. YOu must be really good at pedicures, I noticed that wehenever you wear open-toe sandals :)
Hmm.. My secret single behaviour is.. Well I spend loads of time in the bathroom, I'm ashamed to say!
Gosh, I'll reply to your e-mail soon sweetie, you don't know how little time I've been having lately :)
Kisses,
Cate
@ J.C.-
That sounds amazinggggg Ginger tea, and I love Seinfeld (Elaine and Kramer the most!!)
Hmmm my secret! Well if its a secret..why would I tell ya's'!? By the way I just stumbled across yours and I love it, great work!
I came across your blog and the cool tune made me stick around to see some of your latest posts - I love this one about SSB! I can so relate to it xD
Great blog :)
This is post is amazing!! I have one where at night, I drink hot cocoa, it's freezing where I live, and I watch Chelsea Lately.
I also watch Gilmore Girls reruns all the time.
Also, I give my dog a big hug everyday.
haha! ace =D well, looking up photos of really hot guys on google images, laughing at the funny thing in desperate housewives, listening to the soundtracks from really cheesy musicals and watching friends re runs insterad of doing maths homework... xx
This post made me smile - I so fondly recall (other) Carrie's description of her SSB...
I have so many - one of them is eating peanut butter right out of the jar with a baby spoon while sipping hot cocoa. Also love to do legs-up-the-wall pose and watch tv upside down.
xoxox,
CC
Oh dear- i have so many!
washing my sheets, making hot chocolate (wish marshmellows and cream of course) having a long bath with my mango shower gel and then coming up to bed all warm and cosy and snuggling into fresh sheets.
Unashamedly, i do this probably 3/7 days a week. but eh, whatever Carrie does, i can do better?
heheee, lovely post, really got my smiling :)
m xxx
Crackers with jelly!? Never thought of it, though I love crackers, so maybe I should try... ;) Mmm, I'm trying to find any Secret Single Behavoir to tell, but... I can't remember any!
xoxo
you are great ;)
This is a great one:
let's see...
I fall asleep watching SATC episodes
I put lotion on my hands and elbows everynight as well as chapstick
Every Sunday Evening i do a facial mask
Every Wednesday morning i do a Facial Scrub
I get upset when anyone reads my magazines before me LOL
I wait for all my monthly magazines to arrive then i read them...and first i look at all the pretty pictures...then i read the articles LOL
Oh i must always have something sweet after dinner...a cookie...a piece of chocolate..a scoop of frozen yogurt...etc.
and i've done the saltine crackers with grape jelly since forever
great post!
lol...I just watched that one recently ..maybe it was on late night cw. I'm like Charlotte ...with the skin ...but mostly picking at it instead of just looking at it.
Nita K: I prefer shopping alone too.
aww this is cute, mine is watching oprah everyday.
although i cant promise i would stop if i lived with a boy!
Thank you so much for commenting on my blog! It made me happy!
My SSB is to do a crossword before I go to bed. Every single evening...
May we can link each other up?
I love this post so much!! :)
My ssb is to play my favourite "happy-music" as loud as the speakers can as I dance like crazy in front of the mirror in my underwear (when nobody's home) haha!
I love this!!! Ok, now everyone is dishing I will do mine....I like eating double stuff oreos and dunking them into vanilla soy milk while watching Rock of Love (so terrible I know).
I too enjoy shopping alone, I get more done, it's just another "thing" of mine I guess....
Ohhh and sudoku and word searches/ crosswords puzzles, before bed, get me sleepy and are fun to do as well! :)
How cuuuutee
Mine is: I HAAVE to fix my hair and do my makeup everyday in my underwear. I don't know why but if someone comes over and I have to get dressed, I get cranky and irritated while fixing my hair and doing my make-up.
i drink beer with peanut butter :D and i have secret sites that i watch (no, not porn)
I loved this episode, ah Carrie.
Gilmore Girls is definitely one of mine... not many people in the England are fans, all my friends think I'm mental. I like eating sweetcorn out of a tin, making 3 cups of coffee and drinking them all slowly at the same time (but I normally end up just drinking half of each cup), doing G2 crosswords... shopping alone is definitely best. I listen to some awful music when I'm alone, too... Miley Cyrus to mention but one name.
I loved reading the comments on this post! And thank you for your comment, but I really think that my hair needs to CHANGE! x
i also:
- give myself manis & pedis after a shower
- love eating lunch in front of the tv in an empty house
- gilmore girl reruns are so appropriate when doing girly things
and:
- spend hrs on the computer surfing blogs, shopping, "researching", while having mindless tv on in the background
- eat dessert and call that dinner
- watch rom coms while flipping thru fashion mags
what a fun post!
I should make a Part II. I have thought of so many new things thanks to all of you!! =]
HAHA. fun stuff! x
