April's Challenge

9:00:00 AM




We all love something that gives our life a bit of a challenge. I mean, how can you know whether or not something is right for you if you never try it out? Giving up sugar for me last year, meant not feeling as anxious and jittery. Yet as much as I tried to explain that to everyone, I still got sugary sweets in my gifts. In January, I changed my lifestyle again and started clean eating. It went really well at first and I was even down 4 pounds in two weeks, and then it got increasingly hard as school started. I gave up meat for Lent this year and honestly, I really loved it. I was still really intrigued  by plant-based diets. And in April, that's what I'm challenging myself to live by. 

I'm not going to force my views onto anyone in these posts, but I hope you stick around and discover fun recipes with me. If you're looking for answers to that big "why" questions, then I'd suggest youtube-ing the answer. There are so many benefits to living plant based and I think it'll be a good change.This link is one that I think is really helpful and useful in talking about veganism and how even little changes in diets can make a big difference.  I've made a few vegan snack recipes before and my campus has a few vegan alternatives that are actually really delicious! I just want to feel my best. Especially with having about 5 weeks left in the semester!  

Honestly, with summer coming soon my diet will probably change again since watermelon is cheaper and that's all I really like to eat when it's warm outside! 
If you want to follow me on twitter (I actually created a new account for just tweeting food) because sometimes I like to just look at photos of food okay? Otherwise you can make sure to follow my main account and my instagram!  Also my brand new Facebook page is up and running and it would mean a lot if you shared it and gave it a like! :) 

Did you participate in Veganuary? Have you ever given veganism a go? What are you most excited for in April? Let me know what kind of posts you'd like to see in the future! Sorry this one is so..wordy!
Looking forward to hearing from you in the comments!

April Showers

3:37:00 PM


As I am writing this right now it is currently pouring rain outside. It's been doing this for an entire week now, and I'm starting to feel as though Wisconsin has slightly shifted closer to England? Though, I feel like I shouldn't complain because hey at least it isn't snowing! 
       The weather does make me quite happy that my mom had purchased a pair of rain boots for me! (Let's go jump in all of the puddles now!!).  

(Note this is clearly taken during a sunny day and not this week!)
With the rain comes the nonexistent lay outside in the sun weather, therefore I'm stuck inside. Which is fine and probably good since exams are coming up. I have to admit it is a whole lot easier to focus on hours of tedious and boring homework when the sun is shut away behind the dark gray clouds. I'm realived that I can finally see the end of this semester out on the horizon. It's been filled with what feels like never ending stress and I'm more than eager to get it done with. 


Unfortunatley rain does bring bad news, Sadie and I haven't been able to take our afternoon strolls! But don't worry, she's been making the best of her bottled up energy by running around the house after me and playing with her neon green rabbit, and also sleeping which frankly I wish I could sleep too. 
(Doesn't she just melt your heart? she's in the middle of yawning in the left side picture.)

Maybe if the rain slows down I will try to take her out and see how she gets on with it. 
No I don't mind the rain so much I guess. Besides, I do want to live in England after all. 
I hope where ever you are that the weather has been sunny and warm!
Sorry most of my posts have been about food recently, I just really haven't gone on any adventures but never fear! Second semester is almost up and I've got a few adventures planned out!
