In a Blink the World Changes || 2.20.15

|| Friday, Saturday, & Sunday ||

What????!!!! Only two weeks left until spring break? Time. Flies. So. Quickly. I mean don't hold your breath or anything, but wow, so much happens in the blink of an eye -- maybe that's why I haven't been sleeping much/well. Food for thought. What are you doing this weekend? My mom's coming to visit (!!!!!!!!!) and she's bringing the puppies and I am too excited to care about grammar or correct vocab usage. She's attending an event with me tonight --- yay dress shopping, and it's nice to see her after everything that's happened over the last 6 days.

How has life been lately? Excited for spring? Bogged down from winter? Ready for links?

Super(Bowl) Weekend Finds || 1.30.15

January 30, 2015/ ekfriend

|| 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.
