Cleanse

A few weeks ago I watched a documentary titled Hungry for Change. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, I highly recommend watching it. My boyfriend can vouch for me on this one. This life-changing, 89-minute documentary talks about food, but more specifically, why we eat so much of such terrible food. It goes behind the scenes on why we crave chocolate, processed foods, late night munchies and everything in between. Not only is it educational, it is mentally stimulating and makes you want to change your current eating habits. One of the men who is interviewed in the show completed a 60 day cleanse; clearing out his intestinal tract, improving his medical conditions, and even dropping weight.

Now why am I telling you this? I've decided to take part in either a 2 or 3 day cleanse (I haven't decided yet if a third day will be a wise decision). I researched juicers and purchased the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juicer a few weeks ago. I looked up a 3 day juice cleanse created by the same man who I previously mentioned and the creator of the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I'm excited for a lifestyle change and to overhaul my inner workings after a terrible month of eating poorly, mainly due to traveling 16 days out of the past 30 days.

Wish me luck as I start my new journey!

Wandering Soul

I spent July 27th, 2013 celebrating the 2 year mark of my grandmother's passing. She was a strange woman who always kept to herself and never let anyone see her without her hair done; yet, she was beautiful in every breath she took. It was after the death of my grandma (the only living grandparent I had left) and my aunt's breast cancer diagnosis that I learned a valuable lesson. I should also note that this lesson was taught to me more specifically by my mother - who is kind, brave hearted soul. I learned the summer of 2011 that you should never take a day for granted and that a day spent unhappy is a day wasted. I've learned a lot in these past 2 years about myself, my family, my friends, and my significant other. If it wasn't for her, I don't think I would be living this East Coast life and experiencing so many new, exciting things.

I apologize for the long delay between posts, but as I have mentioned previously, I spend a lot of my time wandering around looking for my next adventure. In these past few summer months I've traveled to Texas, California, Arkansas and Virginia. I've spent a lot of time by myself as well and I've realized that sometimes I care too much about money and other insignificant things in this world. I've also come to the realization that I enjoy the memories of traveling, laughing, spending time with my favorite people more so than tangible items such as clothes, beauty products, etc. I've been thinking a lot lately about where I want to be in the next 5 years: what my career will be, where I'll be living, who I'll be spending my days with, and many other fleeting thoughts. It's a strange thing trying to figure out your future, yet still living in the moment. My thoughts usually jumble together, much like this post, and then I end up drinking a class of wine and relaxing with a good book...which is what I'll be doing in just a moment. I hope to post soon on recent events just to give my blogger audience a little more insight as to what I've been doing for the past few months.
