Micro Hangovers

A little #witanddelightfortarget for the weekend! Love these cork coasters used as a trivet. (Pairs well with a @tomdixonstudio tea pot, too!)

Hello, semi-faithful blog readers. I was posting pretty consistently for a while there, then I just fell off the grid. Where did I go? Honestly, I don't know. But I'm back and feeling like I'm gonna be spending a little more quality time here again. I've got that writing and reflecting bug. I hear it's going around...

I like hangovers. I know, I know, I know...you probably think I'm insane, but let me explain. I don't like those gnarly hangovers (the pukey, headachey, wobbly, I-think-I'm-still-drunk kind of hangovers), but I like the mellow ones. The ones where you feel just icky enough to not want to drink again for a while. I like these baby hangovers because they serve as a reminder and act as an incentive to re-evaluate some of my not-so-great habits. For instance, feeling slight shitty today made me think about my general health. It's sufficient, but I could be taking WAY better care of myself. Then I was like, okay, I haven't been to the doctor in god knows how long. So I made an appointment for a physical at the end of the month. Next up was a dental appointment. Same day as the doctor--check! I scheduled a massage for tonight, I'm going to get a manicure and pedicure after work and I'll start organizing my bedroom to prepare for some minor rearranging that I've been thinking about. Now you see, I have been meaning to do all these things for a few weeks now, but it wasn't until I had this micro-hangover that I actually got around to doing anything about it! Thanks, beer!

Until next time xoxo

The Link Queen's Thursday Things

This gorgeous, slouchy trench . Should I just buy the damn thing already? This cute high school girl isn't getting great grades and didn't get into her colleges of choice...but she started her own company , and it's adorable (and successful). In love with Lianne La Havas right now (thanks, Shane). This song is especially fun. I also really like when she sings with just her guitar. Pretty floral dress for a springtime wedding. Another great option here . ASOS is offering 20% off their label for a limited time only. Per usual, Wit and Delight's wish list is spot on. "As per vs. per usual" ^ via the Grammarist . And now that you've just clicked on all of these links, here's a link to an  article  that suggests that link hopping and surfing the internet can be harmful to your brain. Fantastic exhibition on view at Richard Heller Gallery featuring work by collaborating artists Neil Farber and Michael Dumontier. Love this image. Com

Cleanse Day One

I'm writing this post as a way to keep busy and not notice the hunger pangs that are currently clanking around in my stomach as loud as the bells of Notre Dame. I'm doing a 3 day juice cleanse with my friend Alysia. There was no way I could do it alone! I've got to complain to someone, and who better to complain to than someone who is feeling the same way as me? Empathy baby. This morning while I was sleeping I had lucid dreams about drinking three of my juices too quickly and being so starving for the rest of the day. What a nightmare! Needless to say, I was more than a little nervous for what the rest of the day would feel like if I was already dreading it in my sleep! 8:30 am: Grabbed the Greenest #3 juice from my fridge and began working on it while I got ready for the day. Gilmore Girls on in the background, curls in place, and make up on, I actually felt pretty good. I didn't feel the need for coffee at first, but the second I walked into work, the caffeine de

The Big Five

A while back I asked my closest friends to send me five words that come to mind when they think of me. I started out by writing down five of my own. Energetic, Eclectic, Gregarious, Considerate, Fun Here is what the others had to say. I put stars next to words that several people used. Passionate Energetic** Eclectic*** Embellished Yogi*** Enthusiastic** Outgoing Student Driven** Kind Creative** Playful Madewell Caring** Desiring harmony Optimistic Perceptive Imaginative Facilitator  Empowered Spirited Cultured Intelligent*** Thoughtful** Organize Uniter Bold Persistent Fabulous Love Beautiful Strong Glue Steadfast Anxious Art Real Bangs Generous Compassionate Empathetic Goofy as heck At this point, I am merely putting this list out in the universe in an attempt to manifest/manage these traits. I'd like to return to these qualities from time to time, especially if I'm feeling down or confused. They could be a good starting p
