#Blessings.

Today I'm [extra] thankful for:

1. A hot shower & clean water.

2. My job. [especially my days off.]

3. Mason jars. I'm a little obsessed.. 

#Blessings.

Three things I am thankful for today: [in no particular order]
1. My Mommy. I can't thank her enough! For the good life, for her friendship, and for making me who I am today.
2. My iPhone. [first world problems]. This thing literately is my life-line, if not my life. #sadbuttrue.
3. Having a warm place to sleep. It's amazing how much we take for granted in this world.

Here is to a healthy week..

Some fresh green [+beet] juice, celery soup & some sassy water. 

Dear this week: #BRINGIT
I'm ready to look good and feel good. (:

In an effort to blog more, I am going to attempt the trendy

"Three Things I'm Thankful For" every day until Thanksgiving. 

Wish me luck.

Three things I am thankful for today:
1. Sundays, the best day of the week, for so many reasons.
2. Great souls I can truly call my best friends.
3. Yoga pants. (& nice asses. ;)

Life changes so fast.

Life changes so much so fast, yet it seems to stays the same.
I am at work-- blogging instead of doing my homework.
I am still loving my job in Labor and Delivery.
I am still living at home, and loving it.
I am still in school, and still over it.
I still don't want to ever grow up, but I have at least been thinking about it a little more lately..

But..
I am stoked to say: I fell hard for a boy.
I met him the night of August 24th, It's been intense since then.
Even better than the fairytale movies.
I don’t know where he came from, and how we haven’t met before... but the timing could not have been more perfect for either one of us.
I’m still trying to catch my breath. I know, so cheesy and cliché, right?

Anyway, I just wanted to give you a little update, I'm very much alive and kicking.
I know I always say this, but I do intend to blog more.. (believe it when you see it)
If you are into love stories, I started a silly little blog about our adventures together.
Stay tuned until next time fellow stalkers.
Peace, love & bits of sunshine from my life to yours.

Hydrate.

Another obsession of mine lately: SASSY WATER.



I got the original idea from pinterest of course. It is part of the Prevention magazine's Flat belly diet. The original recipe is here.


Health Benefits:
"Proponents of the diet maintain that ginger in sassy water helps your digestion and can reduce your risk of constipation, while lemon works as a natural diuretic and promotes a healthy pH balance. Cucumbers contain erepsin, an enzyme that helps your body digest protein and also supports the health of your kidneys due to their diuretic properties. Chemicals in mint leaves also support digestion." Along with many other nutritional perks.
You can find more information here.

I make it for my mom and I every night. I put about 5-6 slices of cukes, around half of a lemon, a few mint leaves, and peal some ginger (I like a lot, my mom likes less). I bought a ginger root from Harmon's, pealed it and keep it in the freezer. When I need some I just use my potato peeler. Also, the mint needs to be twisted and broke apart a little bit to better release the herb's oil. Without fail, it always tastes great. I just fill it up with ice (and sometimes water) all day long.

The biggest reason I love it tho, it tastes AWESOME. I usually drink a lot of water, but I feel I have increased my H2O intake by quite a bit. So cheers to this amazing, refreshing summer beverage. Isn't it pretty?

A cheesy little post is better than no post at all right?
