5 Thoughts

As spring flirts with the dogwoods, I've been feeling an itch to add a few things in my day-to-day outlook. A sort of mid-year resolution, I guess.

Journaling

The idea of keeping a large journal where I can write bits and pieces of my day or include tickets, articles, or objects that I've found seems pretty rad. I like the thought of keeping it still, in the same place, where I can add it it rather than carry it with me.

Natural Makeup

With more sunshine/outdoor time, I'm seriously upping my sunscreen quota and in turn changing the makeup I'm putting on my face.

It's usually more pricey, but if I only buy it every few months....

Taking a peek into my closet is like taking a look into my high-school time capsule. I have had some of the same clothes for over 10 years now, and they've got to go.

Lara's convinced me to try a new Smoothie Challenge (mostly because it's free) and it starts next week. Basically, we're replacing breakfast each morning with a smoothie, and we'll be sent new recipes to try each day. I will be sad to give up my pina-colada smoothie every morning, but we'll see what this chick's got up her sleeve...
