Go out NAKED and I’m not talking cloths … women and girls out there rely on makeup so much its scary. I love makeup and enjoy making my face look like a different face however I learned as a little kid that you don’t need to do it. My mother only wore makeup when going out and her idea of ‘putting on makeup’ was mascara, blush and lipstick. Continue Reading
Lately I’ve been feeling really down lately, a lot of things are getting to me that I normally let slide. How long can I sit here analyzing the same issues in my relationships? I wonder if I ask too much for myself and at the same time cringing at the fact that I’m not happy settling for ‘the usual’ … being a doormat, feeling lonely, not having my own voice or giving myself the credit I deserve.

We went to Russia and visited family for a little while, went to a wedding 🙂 it was a blast. When I returned home I didn’t have the same overwhelming need to go back to my old habits.

I actually did 11,000+ steps for the day which is rare for me and I’m feeling a bit tired today from that. On top of that I have a gym workout today that I kind of want to skip out on but I will not. I made plans with a friend which usually helps out a lot, I can honestly say I am not accountable to myself as I should be but when I have a friend waiting I am more likely to hit the gym even if I don’t want to.

In the past month or so I have noticed a huge change in my cravings. I have to say not everyday is perfect, I did have a moment the other week were I really wanted a Big Mac. I messaged a friend of mine and we had a very quick and to the point chat. I wound up getting my favorite Broccoli Slaw Kale Salad from Trader Joe’s. To be honest I’ve been obsessed with this salad for the past 4-6 weeks. I get it twice a week for lunch and it leaves me feeling satisfied. Continue Reading
