Try Not to Freak Out. Just Read the Finds. ||4.19.15

 || 2.5 Weeks to Go ... I'm sorry, WHAT?! ||

The weather is warming, the rain falling from the sky beckoning May flowers, and the time is short until I'll be packing my room and heading back to Wilmington for the next four months. Amazing how quickly time passes when you're growing older. Please slow down but speed up to the parts where I'm not quite so stressed, please. Is stress a state of mind? That's a thought for another week, but a thought I have often -- almost enough to cause more stress. Lawwwdddd. Let me go bury myself back under the covers while I figure out how to take back my life.

Coming up this week is a continuation of the Embrace Yourself Series. I'll be bringing up thoughts on being dependent, independent, and understanding what you want from someone in your relationship (whether it's within your family, in regards to being sexually intimate (gasp, I'm going there), or being romantically involved). Did you catch last weeks Spring Produce video? Also, catch the Embrace Yourself Series Pt. I and Pt. II. Xx.

What are you up to this weekend? Are you watching hockey? Who's your team?

Naps, Netflix, & a Nosh Filled Weekend || 4.11.15

 || La la lazy ||

Thank goodness this week is over. I've never looked more forward to the weekend, I don't think. I'll be working a little, relaxing a bunch, and enjoying the sunny skies that have taken up this part of my world. I have too many thoughts in my head to put any of them down. How did you guys like the video yesterday? What kind of topics would you like to hear in the next coming weeks? I'm thinking of doing one a week -- every Thursday :). Can't wait. I'm happy to look into and touch on anything you wish to hear regarding health, fitness, and the like -- so comment below and let's get started!

What are you up to this weekend?

Written while home with dogs on a couch that isn't my bed || 4.4.15

 || Hellooo Long Weekend ||

Do you ever wake up in the morning and just feel different? Like somewhere in the universe, a moon and a star aligned for you to feel not like yourself but not entirely in a bad way? It's happening to me. It's a wild thing, this not being yourself but not hating the new you taking residence over your body, mind, and soul. Below is a little sneak preview to the draft of this week's post on embracing the self, and then it's on to some weekly finds!

I like weird pairings like Birkenstocks and socks, and things that shouldn't taste good, taste good to me, like chlorella tablets, unsweetened raw cacao, Trader Joe's tofu, and cheap champagne. I like imagining the good in people first and seeing the unexpected later. I like to have high expectations, but sometimes I convince myself they aren't there so I can enjoy life without disappointment. I want to go to all the festivals in the world, but I'm a little scared of not showering or not being able to drink enough water. Some days I feel like the oldest soul alive...

What are you up to this Easter weekend? Do you celebrate Easter?
