After realizing I have more clothes than the average person needs to survive even the most exciting life, I've decided I'm going to document my use of said clothing to help pinpoint what gets to stay, and what needs to leave!

The Food Hang Over

I know I shouldn't ingest one more, but it's just so good. So I do. I've lost count of how many I've had, but I tell myself: "It'll be fine, I can handle it" But that one pushes me just over that...

An unintentional experiment

I did a very strange thing this week. I repeated an outfit. Wearing the same thing isn't bad, but wearing the same thing to the same event almost exactly one year to the date? It's an unintentional...

A 5K update

Heh, so did anyone notice the typo the other week where I claimed to run 6k in 30 minutes? Definitely a typo. It's 40 minutes. Derp. But remember the first 5K run, I made it in 36:13. While we have...

Most of the time, I have left overs for lunch. It's not overly creative, but so long as we eat healthy for supper, it means having a healthy lunch. But sometimes, we don't have enough food from...
