Friday vibes: October 7

This week, I decided to conduct a little experiment. I vowed to eat vegan for breakfast and lunch as a way to get more fruits and veggies into my diet, and to ultimately lose weight and improve my heart health. Inspired by this article in The Everygirl, I decided to have oatmeal with fresh fruit… Continue reading Friday vibes: October 7

Work flow playlist: Autumn 2016

This past Thursday marked the beginning of Autumn, and that means it’s time to buckle down, put your hair in a messy bun, and pound out work until we break for Thanksgiving.
