21 Smoothies

My variety of Hale to Kale with a little mag reading

I though to myself in what ways could I physically
attempt to show some love for myself.

Then I received an email from Men's Health
claiming to have found 20-something smoothies
that not only have good for you ingredients,
but are also quite tasty.

Or so was the claim.

I've read around many juice cleanses and smoothie lore
so I understand risks and benefits from attempting either.
But I don't think I will ever have the will to do a juice cleanse
(or any "cleanse" really)
due to the mere fact that I need to eat.

So me and a couple of co-workers decided it would be fun
(and hopefully beneficial to our health)
to put these smoothies to the taste test.

This will be 21 smoothies in place of my breakfast 
or just as an add on for the day
everyday for 21 days.

In good challenge style I will try and incorporate 
all ingredients included in each recipe.
But since I'm pretty broke some things might be outed if
they aren't used in more than one recipe.
And if I can't find them.

Up for today is Hale to Kale.

Sorry Kale, first impression was not so good. =(

The Love Yourself Challenge

March, the month of my birth, I think is a good time to learn to love myself more.
Love myself and love the things in my life I might not notice.
So I think it’s the perfect time for another challenge:

Begins Now ^_^

On another note I finally jumped into Instagram! It is quite wonderful.
Makes me feel like a photographer, and since I am poor and don’t have Photoshop or anything close to it…
(Hello paint, my friend since middle school…) it’s also great to give a little something with the filters ^_^
I think I’ll see if I can document the things I loved today on it and share it in compilations here later.
Many things planned for loving myself this month. Many more things to plan! Let’s go March babies!

Tights, Leggings, And Such Days 5&6

Tights Week Challenge
It's coming to a close!

           

         

   

So I was having way too much fun  

with these photos while taking them.
So I decided to have fun with this
aspect too ^_^


I just wanted to change up the tights
week challenge and go for something 
way more bold. I decided to wear 
this on my short day of work.








And on the last day of working in tights I went with all black.
Except for the kitty print pink scarf and the silver metallic sweater.


I can say I am quite glad to have the week-long tights challenge over with. 
In this cold I really missed pants. lol

Tights, Leggings, And Such Day #3

CHALLENGE DAY 3
NIC Ghost
(in fishnet tights)



We call the randomly weird things that happen at our night shifts in the office the
acts of the NIC ghost. 
So, I thought it would be fun-- with such vintage inspired office attire--
to play around with the camera and present my fishnet-tights challenge day
as the NIC ghost might look like. What fun!
I just hope I don't actually run into him/her.

Yey for Friday and a pretty easy (I hope) tights day challenge! ^_^

Random Wednesdays

RANDOM WEDNESDAY

Day 2 Challenge
&
Sale Alert!
So just a simple sweater + leggings combo
Sneaky peek at the striped shirt lol

Nasty Gal is having an "EPIC SALE" . If you don't know about it I suggest you check it out. Maybe I'll finally buy something from them and stop drooling...
Anyway, another sale is occurring at JCP in stores.
Having no work today I randomly strolled over and found

OMG! $3!!! *dies* 
So I did get to bring a few basic beauties home, but
unfortunately not many things were my size... or fit well...
Go check out your JCP!! You might find something very good
for an unbelievable price!

Also, I guess I have to go to the thrift store to find a new basic black purse.
No better place to find these without a huge ticket price. 
And if you find the right thrift store some are new with tag!


Isn't this yellow buggy awesome? It had racing stripes too!
How cute!
