A SPECIAL BOY...

 

Hey, everyone. Hope you're all well on this fantastic Friday.

 

I decided to take a step in a different direction today with both my blog AND my YouTube channel and featured a very important person in my life.

 

My son.

 

Each Friday while my daughter is at school, I take my son out on a little date. He's only 3 years old so, he's not quite in school yet and while my daughter is off at school eating animal crackers and playing tag (which of course is "HE/SHE PUSHED ME!"), and arts and crafts etc. I wanted to give him a day where he gets to go out and do a nice little activity of his choosing. Whether that be playing at the park, riding his scooter, or just a nice relaxing walk around he neighborhood. I think things like this are extremely important as parents. We need to show our children what they mean to us in every way, especially in ways that DO NOT REQUIRE MONEY.

 

Today, he decided on a lunch date, which I made a video blog of.

 

 

 

A lovely day, indeed. I plan to do more of these once my channel/blog become a bit more structured.

 

Feel free to watch the video for a little laugh/smile because I promise, he'll give you one of the two. :)

ASIDE from coffee..

This is definitely my favorite drink AND morning meal! I know there are hundreds or thousands of posts out there just like this one, but I guess I'm just here to show the simplicity in my own way. And the best part? It's SWEET ENOUGH because of the apple and carrots that you DONT NEED TO ADD ANY SUGAR! :)

 

Recipe calls for:

 

- About 2 cups of fresh/raw baby spinach, (I usually go for one handful of spinach and one handful of kale but, I didn't have any kale on hand today).

 

- A small handful of baby carrots (I'd say between 7-10)

 

- 1-2 TBSP of FlaxSeed (Here, I'm using whole Organic Golden Flaxseed by Beveri).

 

- 1 apple of your choice, (I chose a yummy honey-crisp)

 

- 1.5-2 CUPS water OR enough to full blender about 1/4 of the way full

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

 

- Use a sharp knife to cut apple into basic slices, set aside

- Cut carrots length-wise, set aside

- Add spinach to blender (ALL)

- Add water to blender until it reaches near 1/4 the way full (depending on the ending consistency, you may either want to add more water if the smoothie is too thick, or more spinach if the smoothie is too thin.)

-Pulse until spinach is slightly blended

-Add apple slices, carrots, and flaxseed

-Blend until smooth, or desired consistency

-ENJOY! (At least I hope you do)

 

Again, I usually like to add an additional handful of KALE to this recipe. It's wonderful for flushing out nasty stuff in our bodies. Kale is able to absorb more than half it's weight in HUMAN TOXINS! Uhh, can we say WEIGHT LOSS?! In addition to THAT it's a SUPER FOOD!

 

As for the flax seed, ALSO AWESOME. It's such a great source of fiber. You can simply add it to smoothies, cookies, yogurt, cereal and many more foods! Also a quick way to get your daily dose of ALA- Omega-3's.

Winter Makeup Routine!

I am by NO means any sort of beauty guru or anything of that sort but, makeup is absolutely one of my interests. I figured I would do a video on my quick, every day routine for the Winter. And you can bet your ass that there will be red lips involved. I think that's a given for this time of year, haha. Bear in mind, I am a mother of two so really, anything I do I like to be quick and easy and that's just what this is!

 

I'll be sure to list all the products used in the video description and it will DEFINITELY be up by the end of the night, so I'll link it in my next post so you guys can check it out! Meanwhile, check out the other videos on my channel if you're interested.

A Wonderful Ritual

Although, I am CERTAINLY NOT by ANY means a morning person, once I do manage to get myself up and going, it becomes a wonderful time of the day for me. Since I do have to kids, I try to get myself up at least 30 minutes before I suspect they will be awake. I need to have those view minutes by myself to digest how I'm going to take on the world. Sometimes, I never know how I'm going to make it through the next hour let alone the entire day but, I'm still going hard so, I guess that count's for something!

 

Today, I'm going to film my video about my diagnosis for Bipolar Type II that I received just a few days ago. I have no idea what to really say but, sometimes it just feels like you're getting it out there to someone, somehow. Maybe it'll end up helping someone. I like the idea of being able to do that.

 

Either way, this is what I'm currently doing and I'm loving the hell out of it. Some good music, good quiet time to write, and of COURSE, my peachy green tea that I'm currently OBSESSED with!

 

Take care, everyone!

My poor, poor computer. :/

 





It's my first!

 

 

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I sincerely hope you're all well...whoever might or might be reading this. Ha..

 

I'm quite new to communication of any sort through the internet aside from, of course, Facebook and Tumblr. I do love my Tumblr blog, but I wanted to sort of keep that more based around photos only. Here, I'd like to actually WRITE and TALK more! I'll post the odd picture here and there if anything exciting or interesting catches my eye but, for now, life is preeeeetty dull.

It's 10:20PM now and I'm ridiculously exhausted from my new medication that my psychiatrist put me on. I'll be sure to touch on that subject a little more in depth soon.

Goodnight.
