Daylight Savings is one of my favorite days of the year. Yesterday didn’t disappoint, there is a new frozen yogurt place that just opened, we tried it, and my life is changed! While I love the later sunsets, the later sunrises are hard for the first week. This beautiful photo reminded me of my besties Lo & Katie, as our hair represents the spectrum. Hope you have a wonderful week!

I’ve happened upon a blog called my favorite and my best the author, Jenny is so straightforward and has amazing taste. She wrote an “open letter” to spring and summer, imploring them to come visit us soon. These photos are from her blog but you really must visit her post to get the full effect, you can do that here.
March 14th is daylight savings time. The beginning of Spring (according to me).
Do you ever have one of those days where nothing can pull you out of a strange funk? It’s like nothing is really going wrong but nothing’s really going right either. Even though you have things to look forward to, you can’t see them clearly in your mind. It’s like one of those cheesy Claritin clear commercials where the person can’t see for their allergies? Except it’s not allergies, it’s just the “can’t help it’s” as my mom used to call it.
Today is Tuesday. My office has tinting on the windows, so that people outside can’t see in. You’re supposed to be able to see out, but the tint is so extreme that everything ALWAYS looks gray unless the sun is so bright you’d be blinded if you were out of doors. Some days it bothers me more than others, today is one of those.
So…let’s see, what should I be happy about today? For one, it’s March. March can honestly be as dreadful as February but it’s at least nearing spring. Daylight savings is coming up. That’s always lovely. It feels gorgeous to be sitting outside at 8:30pm and still feel the sun shining on you.
I am looking forward to that and to sundresses. Hope you get out of your funk today. Music always helps.
G’day. I don’t remember it ever being -5 degrees in Fayetteville, Arkansas but apparently that is what it will be tomorrow. What is one to do with their time besides shuttling in and out of places like office buildings, grocery stores, basketball arenas and homes when the weather takes this sort of turn?
I have decided to go on a “cleanse”. Initially, I chose the master cleanse or lemonade diet. On Monday night, I mixed up a pitcher full of water, lemon juice, syrup and cayenne pepper (after a $50 trip to the co-op). On Tuesday, with my first sip of the concoction, I nearly gagged. I was quite depressed as I’d hoped to continue on this path to inner cleanliness and healthier lifestyle for 10 WHOLE DAYS. Supposedly, you should consume 10 servings of the drink. I barely got through 3. By 8pm I was starving, hungrier by far than any other time I’d accidentally gone without eating. I decided to switch to a juice cleanse, where you drink around 800 calories/day of organic and unadulterated fruits and vegetables. Needless to say, I guzzled down some veggie juice and felt much better. Later I spoke with my friend Lydia, who is a master cleanse veteran. She explained that you cannot add the cayenne pepper to the batch if you make a day’s worth ahead of time. The longer the cayenne sits in the mixture, the more it seeps in and the more it seeps in, the spicier and albeit grosser the mixture becomes. You MUST add the cayenne on a per serving basis. Good to know.
For today, I am still on the juice cleanse. I feel fine and I actually slept really well last night. Hopefully, that will continue. The evenings are much harder for me when it comes to resisting food temptations. I am actually excited about ridding my body of toxins and spending 10 days w/o caffeine or alcohol. But, there really isn’t much to do besides eat & drink when it’s <10 degrees out!
Despite my new year’s resolution to save more money, I’ve been salivating over a few things…
Have a fabulous day!
