About Me

Hi, I'm a 22 year old born in '88. I'm loving the symmetry.

I also love a lot of other things, and I hope that you'll get a sense of what those things are after browsing my happiness project. This is a less formalized version of Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project - I'm basically just trying to remind myself of all the things I smile about. I'm forgetful.

Detox

As I've mentioned before, I've been sick and under the weather.

Which is why I'd love to do Gwyneth's Paltrow's detox. I like that it involves actual food, instead of just juice or maple syrup water (I hear you hallucinate on the Master Cleanse?)

For now though, I don't think I can commit to it completely. Especially since my day today started with two fried eggs covered in parmesan cheese and peameal bacon-- courtesy of my boyfriend's father.

But yesterday I indulged in instant noodles and a Harvey's cheeseburger (which, sadly, wasn't as nearly delicious as I remembered it being... although I really liked the onion rings. Those were worth it.) so I promised myself to be good for this next week.

Since I'm staying home sick, I was able to plan out my meals easily. After getting home from his place, I had a cup of herbal tea (The Skinny from David's Tea), and then a smoothie (banana, almond milk, avocado, blueberries and spinach), and then miso soup with mushrooms and spinach. I made sure to put the miso paste at the end and to not let it boil-- or else you lose most of its nutrients.

My mom's fixing me dinner right now-- ginger chicken, which should be good for my stomach. Had a snack of blueberries, and did an aspirin/honey mask.

I'm hoping to pick up some coconut water and whole almonds so I can commit better to this pseudo detox that I'm doing. I'll need more blueberries and some fish. But I'm poor, so very poor...

Been watching Supernatural all day. :)



But great, a telemarketer just called me--trying to get me to add stuff to my credit card. That makes me unhappy. Especially when I say politely that I'm not interested and busy, please don't call back, and they try to keep saying that they'll call back. The grievances of mundane modern life?

Aghhhh.
