Organized Chaos

Monday

A little something to get your week started on the right foot.

It's my birthday:)

 

Building frames for your visions

I've had a bit of a stressful week. I'm not sure of what it is exactly which makes it even more frustrating. I think mostly I just need to let go, give in, get over it(myself).

These images help.

 

I've also been drinking absurd amounts of tea. Those quite, methodical moments really help. I wish I could meditate, I just can't bring myself to. What do you do when you find yourself in a darker place? Write, fight, cry, scream, it out?? 

 

 

 

The many shades/cuts of me:)

 
For roughly thirteen years I couldn't leave my hair alone. Take a gander.

 

And after all these years, I did this.

A seven on men's clippers. And I've finally decided to keep my hair its natural color. I know my parents are proud;)

I know you're tired of looking at my face. My point is, you can do it, cut your hair, dye your hair, shave your head! It's just hair, it'll grow back!

 

 

 

Weekly Reminder

SWEET POTATOES!

Mmm..I like to wrap two or three in aluminum foil with some butter(after I've poked some holes in them with a knife) and bake them on 450 degrees for about an hour, depending on the size. You can put them in the microwave too, but I have opinions about microwaves..

Then add some butter, cinnamon, some cream, and you're set. At least I am. You can do so much with sweet potatoes though. Pies, casseroles, be creative! This is my favorite sweet potato crunch recipe. 

And the best part: Sweet potatoes are so good for you. They are loaded with vitamin A and fiber.

This is my weekly reminder to you. That, and, you are loved. 

Check out the Batman cowboy!

I'll be back later with more pictures from all the many holiday celebrations we've been attending this week:)

Weekly Reminder

This is a post that I hope to make weekly, hence "Weekly Reminder." heh. 

And the idea behind it is, I suggest one things, and one thing only, that you should do this week. Even if you do nothing else.

In the spirit of New Years right around the corner and all the resolutions that will be made (and broken). Boy am I just the optimist?!

Try this:

Apple Cider Vinegar

I can't find anything better than Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar. What ever kind you decide to try make sure it has "the mother." This simply means that it's a "live" food. 

Apple Cider Vinegar can be used for SO many things.

I use this recipe as a face wash pretty much. I just put it on a cotton ball and swipe over entire face:)  I don't wear much makeup so if you do you may want to use it more as an after tonic. Figure out what works for you and make it a beauty staple!

But wait that's not all! Apple Cider vinegar can aid in weight loss or a body cleanse. The options are limitless. And to top it all off, this stuff is so inexpensive. 

So my Weekly Reminder is this:

Get some Apple Cider Vinegar. Buy a bottle for your bathroom and your kitchen if you must. 

At least try it once. What could it hurt??
