My life be like...

I have like....4 draft blogs where I started writing and did not finish...so I'm going to keep it simple today. My dear Summer is about to come over for a visit and i'm SO excited...I miss her a lot....then I will be cleaning my house from head to toe, changing out air filters, fixing faulty lights and moving toward a greener and healthier life. Here are some things i will be moving toward:

I might have showed you this baby before. It was originally a $86 showerhead that I got at Tuesday Morning's for $26. It Helps regulate waterflow. When the shower gets hot, the water will shut off and when you are ready to wash off/use thewate, you pull that little string on the left and it will resume waterflow. (yay for going green in the shower!)

We'reall familiar with these guys. They're expensive and don't always fit into a college budget, but they're a great goal to slowly buy for...because they save on that energy bill!!! I believe this bulb is a 15 watt bulb which is equal to a regular 60 watt bulb AND lasts for SEVEN YEARS!!!

This is my new best friend. I was never a "water bottle" drinker, but I did by the 64 cent jugs of drinking water at Wal-Mat: very wallet-friendly...eco...not so much. So I switched to this beauty and never looked back. Sure, you have to change out the filter ever 2 months (for less than $10...it was how much I was paying for jugs anyway) AND I don't "run out of water." Conway's water system is HORRIBLE. Pet stores even advise against it, and if it's not good enough for your pet, why would it be good enough for you? This water is fresh, crisp, and I never run out! LOVE. IT.

I'm also switching to healthier foods. I'm following the rule "stay to the outside of the grocery store." On the inside is many processed foods designed to set on shelves for long periods of time --which is also what the food does in your body. The ouside of the grocery store contains, the bakery, meat market, and NATURAL cheeses. Pictured above is my FAVORITE type of cheese, Gouda cheese. I quit eating processed cheese completely. Natural cheeses has much better flavor and are MUCH healthier for you. I love to cut the block up in cubes, pair in with a glass of white Zinfindale and indulge in them while taking a lovely bubble/vapor bath. Add a calm classical music (I love Vivaldi) and relax!! Heaven in your bathroom!
Last but not least, i don't beat myself up about eating "crunchy" foods. Now, I ONLY eat multigrain chips and homemade salsa if I must have my fix. Yes, that's right, I made the salsa myself. If you can't tell by the almost empty bowl, it was delicious (I wan't the only person who ate it, by the way, Zack and Austin helped. These multigrained chips are the only ones I eat anymore, and I don't allow myself to have queso anymore as well (again, processed cheese). So hopefully these tips help! What do you guys do to stay healthier? go green? I'd love to know! I'm new at this and am trying to make smal changes allthe way! Havea great day!
