Studying for comps or qualifying exams can be very mentally (and yes, even physically) demanding. To do your best you need to be at your best, so you must take care of your health. This means eating foods that serve your body well, moving your body to counteract all of the sedentary time spent reading and writing, resting when needed, and having a strong support system.
Happy Monday Guys! And Happy New Year!
I was on FaceTime with my sister earlier and she joked how things with 2017 on it already seem so outdated. Out with the old, and in with the new! Onward to 2018.
A new year brings with it the excitement of new dreams, new opportunities, and new adventures. Vision boards are made with references to health, peace, and prosperity. This is going to be the year I finally…fill in the blank – start my own business, travel more, meet the love of my life, lose those 10 pounds, etc. There’s nothing wrong with any of that.
Hey Guys. Happy Monday!
Christmas is but a mere week away and I think I’m all set. Wait, how many siblings do I have again? I kid, I kid. But this Christmas is a little different for me. It’s my first one not being in school. Translation: goodbye 3-week long winter breaks and hello holiday parties. I guess this is what adulthood feels like. I’m not mad at it lol.
Happy Monday Guys! As promised, I’m sharing details about all of the yummy food I ate while I was in Chicago.
Lyfe Kitchen
After our first full day in Chicago we went to Lyfe Kitchen for dinner, which was conveniently located right across from our hotel.
I got the Thai red curry bowl which I quite enjoyed. It comes with eggplants, broccoli, peas, peppers, and wheatberries in a coconut curry sauce. You can add a protein to it if you like, but I left it as is. I’m putting this on my list of things to remake at home for sure. It seems like it would be super simple. I also got a pomegranate lemonade to go with it which was a great choice. I’m always down for pomegranate lemonade and this did not disappoint. Their baked sweet potato fries with garlic parmesan and chipotle mayo were also a crowd pleaser.
Happy Monday Guys!
How was your weekend?
My weekend consisted of getting some impractically long braids (but they’re so pretty), trying to do a little shopping to refresh my fall/winter wardrobe (didn’t buy anything), and working on a blog post for a health news writing gig (sort of).
As it turns out, I did end up baking for the lunch we had at work this past Friday. Surprise, surprise lol. The owls made me do it. I made spiced sweet potato muffins, and broke out my owl muffin tins and owl jar for the occasion. People seemed to really like it.
