Birthdays and Boyfriends
My 21st birthday was last week, and I was admittedly a little bummed out that I wouldn't be spending it with all of my close friends and family, but Kirby, being the swell guy that he is, made sure that it was a lovely day from start to finish. It started with birthday donuts and flowers, and it ended with birthday cuddling and Arrested Development (in between were birthday lunch at a delicious cafe and birthday sushi for dinner ). I'm a lucky girl. Damaging my hair never felt so classy. Honestly, this straightener has been kinder to my hair than...
We’re still getting settled.
Remember my post about silly animal paintings? Danielle wanted me to paint her two sweet cats, Chowder and Maxine, shortly after we moved into the new house. I tackled the project in my first little bit of free time: Next in line are my friends Taylor (who has an adorable dog named Nellie) and Katie (who owns two beautiful dogs named Sam and Mia). I'm pretty excited; dogs are my favorite. Several health and beauty related posts are on the way, I promise. Between looking for jobs and the frequent trips to target/marshalls/kroger/walmart, I haven't had much spare time for...
Moving Time and Fake Tattoos
The next few days are going to be incredibly hectic. I'll be carrying lots of heavy things, driving nine hours, and then carrying more heavy things. I probably won't have enough time to pee, much less post. So, this is me saying that I haven't fallen into an unattended manhole or suddenly become opposed to blogging. I'll be back in less than a week, hopefully. Don't stop reading labels... or something inspirational like that. Before you go, look at these pictures from an impromptu fake tattoo photo shoot that took place at my dad's house...
I’m kind of a worrywart.
As someone who refuses to watch the news, who abhors meeting new people, and who cringes at the mention of 2012, I can honestly say that I'm one of the most fearful people that I know. I've never cared for that flaw in my personality, and I've recently started to hate it. So, logically, I'm going to something about it. I'd guess that about 97% of the things that I worry about cannot be prevented, changed or stopped by me. That's ridiculous, and it's also really bad for my health. Did you know that people who worry about things that...
Panic Attacks, anyone?
Filed under: health and beauty, life, natural products, neuroticism, physical well-being
Maybe it's only because I'm on my period, but I've felt a very real sense of dread all day long. I drank two cups of coffee, and they successfully made me feel much worse. I keep thinking about all the bad things that may or may not happen and how little control I have over most things, and I feel like I may be going crazy. I've always been a worrier, but this is a little ridiculous. I know that it's likely a culmination of the stress I feel concerning moving out of the state and my lack of direction...
Louisiana might actually suck less than Mississippi.
Last weekend I took a trip to Lake Charles, Louisiana with Kirby, Danielle, and Kyle. Danielle and Kyle are going to grad school in Lake Charles, and they are planning on buying a house since they will be there for at least three years. Kirby and I are tagging along because we generally go with the flow (also, Danielle and Kyle are two of the coolest cats we know). While in Lake Charles, we looked at a few houses and may or may not have found the perfect one. We discovered a restaurant with tasty vegetarian options. We...
five things
There is something downright debilitating about allowing my hair to grow. I am not cut out for classroom discussions; I am, however, cut out for classroom nodding. The shit town in which I live is slowly suffocating me. Yoga before bed puts me right to sleep. I am taking a class on Graphic Novels, and it is...
I am not a baby cow, or why veganism isn’t stupid
As a new year's resolution, I decided to cut dairy out of my diet.Why on earth would I do that? To make a long story short, I am not a baby cow. To make a short story long, milk is completely unnecessary. I can just as easily get calcium from almonds, oatmeal, wholemeal bread, dried figs, parsley, or kale (and the list goes on). Protein can be found in bread, pasta, brown rice, sunflower/sesame/pumpkin seeds, peas, beans lentils, tofu (among other things). Vitamin B12, a vitamin found in milk, can be incorporated into a dairy-free diet with certain cereals, soya milks...
