|| Weekend ||

Is it just me or did time warp, and now it's going 1000 mph? I'm sure all of us are busy and blurry as we hit the shortest month of the year. Just keep those yearly intentions a go go going. I added back into my life oil pulling and am preparing myself for meditation as my February resolutions -- keeping in mind my spontaneity resolution of January. How are yours going? Have you hit February and lost your drive and passion? If you're ready to kick it back up again and beat those energy slumps, self-sabotaging thoughts, and diet fads to the curb, consider working with me -- we'll get you right back on track. Otherwise, content yourself with this week's nutritional excitement of one of my favorite foods -- beets! I'm so glad you're all checking in and getting just as excited as I am over nutrition, yoga, and mindfulness. Really makes a girl's heart swoon -- this girl that is. I'll be spending the weekend making up a big batch of recipe surprise, catching up on work, some studying, and watching my new favorite (soon to be all-watched) series: The Paradise. Love it. Enjoy your Saturday and Sunday!

What are you up to this weekend? Watching the game?

Super(Bowl) Weekend Finds || 1.30.15

|| Fast Intense Week, Relaxed Laid Back Weekend ||

Was I lazy this week or was I overly productive with things not on my to-do list. I'm staying optimistic and not deciding. A busy week for me -- have you checked out my Work With Me tab above? Holistic Health Coaching? We're a go. It's still being all planned out and finished, but it's in the beginning stages, and I'm ready to work with you on your health -- both mind & body. Annnywayyy, I've got some fun things in the making -- Valentine's Day recipes, nutrition posts, some yoga bliss, and general feel good fun. Still trying to stay on top of everything -- but do what you love, and love what you do, right?

I'm going exploring tomorrow with a friend of mine, being spontaneous in my heart, and setting myself up for an awesome weekend. Superbowl on Sunday? I hope so. My professor told my class today that the Superbowl was named after the super ball (you know that ball that bounces way too high when you throw it into the ground -- injuries are a definite) -- apparently during the merge between the AFL and NFL, the son of one of the league's figureheads was playing with the ball and, well, one thing led to another. Think it's true? If not, I like it anyway.

What are you up to this weekend? Watching the game?

Never Too Late for Links || 1.25.15

|| Woah. ||

Where did the weekend go? I basically blinked on Friday, and here I am and it's Sunday. I'm realizing how far behind I could be, how I've neglected my readers, how I've fallen off my spontaneity wagon. Ugh. Pros for the week: balancing my schedule, working on being efficient, eating awesome meals in my room, finding time to exercise, catching up with friends. I'm trying to remind myself that I must be positive to succeed. Oh positivity. Where are you?
