Ever changing views...

I will return to the blog challenge soon, but first...
My most recent case of wanderlust is pulling me away from home and out to explore the world.

Confession Time:
I have been doing yoga off and on since I was a teenager. But sadly the last few years I haven’t practiced more than once or twice a month, if that. :(

In August I committed to a daily workout and couldn't be happier. I currently spend about 30 minutes every morning stretching and relaxing in different poses. Yoga makes my body feel good. It feels great on my spine, and I can feel the tension in my back releasing as I perform the different poses. From there it is easy to flow into my morning meditation and writing. #BIGWIN

And yes, all this happens before work.
Last year I could not have imaged having time enough in the mornings for more than that cup of coffee as I ran out the door! But since I have hired extra help in the office, I have gotten my life back. Thankfully my entire morning has changed for the better.

How am I finding extra time for yoga?
Waking up earlier (and going to bed earlier) ensures I have time for Yoga in the mornings. I used to stay up late working and then felt like crap the next day. Now I have a set schedule and relaxing night time routine. Not only do I feel better, I'm also calmer and unruffled all day long.

The yoga has helped me feel less stressed mentally and my body feels more open and relaxed. This is true even when work gets crazy and I have to work those long hours. I have also noticed when I do morning yoga I'm less likely to eat crap or have another cup of coffee.

What is your favorite form of exercise? Does it help you beat stress too? I’d love to hear.

Traveller By Choice

9/20/2018

When I tell people I'm about to go on another adventure, they always seem shocked and then wistful...So I ask them what's the one thing that holds them back from traveling? They always say the same thing....Money.

And the thing is they have no idea how much a trip actually costs. They just believe that can't afford it so don't go any further. It becomes an unattainable dream. Something to imagine when they are caught in rush hour traffic or working a double shift. Some impossible fantasy that only happens to a select few. ~Sigh~

But you know what? It's not really about Money -- It's about CHOICES. What do you choose to spend your money on? Travel or a new, over priced car? A new luxury purse or a cruise? Sticking to a budget and watching your spending can allow almost anyone to save enough for a trip.

I have found if it's really important to you, you will find a way to make it happen.

For me, hands down I would rather have the experience of travel than a new, shiny "thing". But that's what I choose. Which would you pick?

See you at the airport~

Happiness is...

10 Things That Make Me Happy

9/17/2018

And the blogging challenge continues..
This is an easier post for me than some of the other topics in this daily blogging challenge. I'm very fortunate to have so much good in my life right now. It hasn't always been this way, but I do feel very blessed right now.
Ten things that make me happy and/or I'm grateful for:
#1 is of course my son.
#2 Nature
#3 Travel!
#4 Plants!

I know I said nature, but plants just by themselves make me happy!

#5 Books! (Bet you didn't see that one coming.)

#6 FOOD! All the wonderful fruits and veggies!
I'm so happy we get to eat healthy food everyday.

#7 My friends! They are so cool, so supportive and are so crazy! They make me happy everyday.

#8 My health. It sucks ass to be ill and I'm very lucky that I feel great 90% of the time now and that makes me VERY happy!

#9 My home!

#10 Tie--Sunsets/Raining days

Rainy days and watching sunsets always makes me happy. :D

I feel so blessed!

See you tomorrow for the next post in the blogging challenge!

Current Fav Television Shows

9/15/2018

The blog challenge continues. Today we talk TV.
I don't watch that much TV but I am enjoying a few programs right now:

Wynonna Earp

I didn't want to watch Wynonna Earp because I had no idea what it was about. A western? A country singer? Demons? #WTF?!

Then a friend told me what I was missing! After watching season one I was hooked. The dialogue was spot on and the heroes are tough, not frail women. They are messed up, swearing, demon slaying misfits, but who isn't? Plus it is chocked full of supernatural baddies that keep getting odder and odder. What's not to love? And oh yeah, there's Doc!
Start at season one and enjoy the bat shit crazy ride!

I'm also watching season 2 of Ozark.
Unless you live in a cave, I'm sure you've seen or heard about this one. To me it feels like a 'Breaking Bad' type wannabe drama. Its well written and well acted of course, but I don't know... There is something off about it. I don't love it as much a BB.

Although it does ask some of the BB questions, like how far will an 'average person' go? And when do you stop saying it's to protect your family and just admit your good at crime? At times it feels too heavy to watch and can be a bit predictable.

But at least it's not your standard crime drama, with overtones of the Sopranos as well as BB it looks at crime on may different levels. It's immensely popular so I wont give away any of the details if you aren't caught up yet. And speaking of BB I'm also hooked on Better Call Saul. Which is shot a few miles from my current home base in New Mexico.

Better Call Saul is the prequel to Breaking Bad.
Over the last 4 seasons we slowly watched the random players come together and evolve into the people we watched in BB. "Saul" or Jimmy, is the connector in all of this, with an entertaining, if not disturbing backstory worth watching. If you want to watch a smart, well written and staged drama, then give it a try, it will not disappoint.

Thats all the tv I have room for now. Do you watch any of these shows? What TV shows are you hooked on? Share your recommendations below.

See you for the next blog channel post tomorrow!

Ideas?

9/14/2018

Today was spent desperately searching through old notebooks and scrapes of paper to find some brilliant idea I had 5 years ago. 🙄 This daily blog challenge is kicking my ass!

Where do you get your ideas and how often do you blog? Why did I think I could blog everyday? Shaking my head at myself over this one, I'm pretty sure I've never blogged a solid month ever! Plus it seems the last few years with me becoming busier and busier at work I'm blogging even less. #FML

Well so much for inspiration from the past. I found nothing I wanted to write about.
Screw this... I'm gonna make some tea and read....

Maybe this will generate a book review for later in the month.

Tune in tomorrow as I continue the daily blogging challenge and hopefully have something more exciting to write about, lol.

Top Guilty Pleasures

9/13/2018

Not Guilty about much actually, lol - but the blogging challenge continues.

This is a tough one, cause I really don't feel guilty about much. I work hard and live my life the way I want so I'm not really guilty about anything. #TrueStory

I don't "cheat" as a vegan. I eat 80/20 healthy, plant based. I don't consume sugar, drink or smoke. I haven't had a Starbucks in so long I can't remember when?! So yep, I'm pretty boring and not guilty at all.

Probably my number one guilty pleasure right now is too much online shopping.

#AnotherTrueStory

But its my money and I work hard for it...so I'm not guilty at all. Lately I've been buying winter clothes, art supplies, vegan make up, stuff for the new house and of course stuff for my son.

Random purchase for the house.

Random sampling of beauty products, lol

Newest box.

Even though this kinda counts as online shopping, subscription boxes are another of my weaknesses. I'm currently receiving Vegancuts, Sketchbox, and Fab Fit Fun + add ons and up-sells on all of them. I stopped the beauty mask monthly box just because I wasn't using the masks fast enough. Now that I'm about out of masks I will restart that subscription.

So compared to most people I know, thats not many at all.

Vegancuts

Good amount of random vegan snacks delivered to my door.

My TBR (To Be Read) pile of books is getting pretty low... so I'm not feeling guilty about that at all. If anything I feel like I need to make an effort to find more books. #Yikes!

And you? What are your guilty pleasures? Are you overspending or over indulging? Or are you like me and not guilty about it?

Tune in tomorrow as the blogging challenge continues~
