I am consciously making decisions to live a healthier life, physically, mentally and emotionally. I am cutting back on my smoking (which will hopefully make quitting seem like a feasible task, ugh), doing my yoga daily (so far, so good!), doing good not eating processed foods so far, and drinking lots of water and freshly made juice.
I am trying to be more productive. Instead of taking a nap, I've done two drawings, read a few chapters in my book, and am going to do homework, after I write this post.
I am going to learn how to be happy with myself, no matter what that entails. I am done being a mess. I fully believe that if I put more effort into my outside appearance, I will be happier with my inner self. Some people think that is a load of crap, but honestly...when I'm having one of those lazy days, I'll feel 20x better if I just put makeup on! So I'm going to start applying that every day. I also find the more I keep up with my tasks, the less stress there is closer to the deadline. So here's to no more procrastinating!
And also no more coffee right before bed ;)

I am doing my best to post as much as possible, but in a few weeks it might be a bit hectic. I am moving, and currently all, or at least MOST, of my possessions are in boxes and cluttering my room. It is so hard to do yoga in a 2x4 space! But the good news is that most of my pictures and things are off the walls already, so the hard part is over (:

I am reading two books right now, both of them are re-reads, but they are just that good!
-if on a winter's night a traveler, by Italo Calvino
and
-The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. (If you haven't read this one yet, you need to stat, it's one of the best contemporary classics out there right now; most AP lit classes are now requiring it!)

This is just an all-over post, I guess. But I have a question for you guys!
Do you have any recipes you can't live without (preferably meat-free, but not necessarily)? I'm looking for some healthy dishes without sacrificing flavor. Let me know!
