I like to find things that work for me, and that I find personally encouraging, and use those. Secondly, I loathe cliches. I really dislike impersonal, hollow advice and cheesy April 11th, 2012 I recently came upon this post from Adulting, in which she encourages us to just unapologetically like what we like, without going any further. I think there’s tremendous pressure at times to be “cool” and into cool things. We all know a music or food snob, right? And while yes, I enjoy listening to hip music blogs and have attended Coachella, and definitely love me a nice meal, April 10th, 2012 Kale used to scare me. A lot. I welcomed it into my life via a soup a few months ago, but ever since then, I’ve slowly been adding it to salads and getting used to eating it more often. My cousin brought a version of this salad to family brunch, and I’ve been eating it ever since. I think I’m in love. I think you could April 9th, 2012 I’ve mentioned on both Twitter and this here blog how much I love the Joy The Baker podcast. It is my favorite thing to listen to, and I get downright giddy on Thursdays when a new episode is released. I have been a huge fan of Joy’s blog forever and the podcast introduced me to Tracy Shutterbean, and now I just adore them both. Not only are their April 6th, 2012
Happy Friday, friends! As usual, I’m happy to see the weekend. It was a pretty good week though, so I can’t complain too much. On to the links! This is literally the best thing I’ve read in a long time. If you haven’t seen it yet, stop and read it. I’m looking forward to trying to roast a chicken April 5th, 2012 Thanks to The Bully Project for sponsoring my writing.

By overhearing a comment in the hallway, I can April 4th, 2012 I’m not quite sure what Paris had to do with deciding to be a runner, and exactly what running has to do with a recent, personal decision to just stop being unhappy and fix things but I’m going to try to explain the thoughts that have been floating around my brain the past few weeks. I’m a nervous person. An “anxious bunny” is the cute way April 3rd, 2012 I’ve slowly been working my way through my Pinterest crafty board in hopes of doing more than just pinning projects for later. I am beyond excited that it’s nearly baseball season, and I thought it’d be fun to make a little baseball-themed craft to wear to watch my San Francisco Giants this summer! I spotted this tutorial for a baseball string bracelet, and decided to make my own. April 2nd, 2012 It might surprise you to learn that when I was younger, I shunned all things domestic.
