Back in April, Andre and I completed The Color Run again. This was the second time we did The Color Run together and the fourth time I've completed a 5K that makes you more colorful (see: Bubble Run, and Color Fun Fest). Something I didn't worry about a lot before was my car getting stained after the race, because my car wasn't the best, so I was basically like "meh" about it. I would just throw down a towel and go.

But in 2015, I bought a brand new Toyota Corolla and my seats are fabric. I love my car so much and would like to keep it fairly clean. So when Andre and I went to The Color Run this year, I knew I needed to take some precautions to keep my car seats clean after the race.





How to Keep Your Seats Clean

The day before the race, I headed to the dollar store and picked up a cheap box of lawn and garden bags for about $1.50. These were perfect because they're very large and I knew they would adequately cover my seats!

When covering your seats, make sure they're fully covered. I used two bags for each seat. For the back of the seat, I opened the bag and slid it fully over the seat, tying it in the back, then tucking it in the front.

For the chair of the seat, I didn't open the bag, I simply laid it over the seat, making sure to tuck it into all of the crevices.





After removing the bags, my seats were 100% color-free! Additionally, you can use leather car wipes to wipe down the steering wheel, console, and doors, then use a vacuum to clean up the floorboards.





This is perfect if you're planning to participate in a color run, a mud run, or even after a trip to the beach or water park.

The Verdict: While I definitely prefer my sifting liners, I love that I can use the Litter Genie to dispose of used litter between siftings - making my life easier. While I only have one cats, I think it would be wonderful to use for someone with multiple cats.

It's been three months since I last checked in with y'all on my 101 in 1001 goals, a list of 101 things I wish to accomplish in 1001 days (approximately 2.75 years). Check out the things I've accomplished in the past three months.

Brief synopsis: Adam Sharp is almost 50. He's got a happy life with his partner Claire (they never married), he has a routine, and a part-time job that makes him as much in 6 months as Claire makes all year. He should be satisfied, right? But he can't help but be nostalgic for the life he had twenty years ago - and the one he let get away, Angelica. Maybe he can get her back though, because she's contacted him. Why? Does he dare find out, and possibly risk the life he's made?

The Best of Adam Sharp isn't something I would usually read, but I got through it because I was interested in how it would turn out. And I can tell you I was not satisfied.

This novel was weird to me. It was divided into two parts, and I really thought part two could go in a totally different direction. I didn't like the characters, and truly, the story was extremely unrealistic to me. Maybe it's because I'm half the age of the characters in the book - but can someone tell me: do these kinds of things really happen in real-life? Again, I'm telling you, it got really weird.

Additionally, there were only three main characters (four if you count Claire, who you don't really see a lot anyways), which you think would mean you'd get below the surface and really get to know them well. Unfortunately, I felt as if everything with the characters was very on-the-surface; really no development throughout the story. I never felt connected or invested, and I felt no emotions throughout the story. No anger, sadness, or even love - which, for a love story, doesn't seem so positive.

The one thing that I did like about the novel is that it revolved very much around music - music from the 60s and 70s that I very much enjoy. The songs that are mentioned throughout the novel are compiled in a Spotify playlist (below). Besides the music references and the playlist, I wasn't a fan of the book and would not recommend it to others.

Graeme Simsion is also know for his two novels The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect, which I haven't read, but have heard wonderful things about. Per popular opinion, The Best of Adam Sharp does not hold a candle to the Rosie novels.
