It’s been awhile

I haven’t made a new blog post in awhile cause I’ve been kinda busy (but kinda lazy at the same time). I haven’t been on my computer much lately.

Life has been a bit stressful and complicated… And often times when i think it’s finally getting better something happens and it tears me down.  I feel really sensitive, and i can’t figure out why.  It’s hard..because most things i shouldn’t get upset about are upsetting me, and it feels like no one cares.  I try to not care…  I know i shouldn’t care.
But guess what, I really do care.  And i can’t help it…  I can’t change my feelings even though i want to.
I think i need to just sit down and let it all out.. tell someone.. cry and have someone just hold me for awhile.  I just don’t know who to go to.. cause i don’t even know what to say.

Despite my 6day/week exercising, healthy eating and keeping my skin clean, my skin has been freaking out lately.. and i think i just figured out why.  My facewash is too harsh (I don’t use store bought cleansers cause they have chemicals that fill my pores like there is no tomorrow. ew) so, i’m looking for other options (Honey, Fresh coconut milk, fruit, veggies, essential oils, etc).  Hopefully, my skin gets better.

I’ve been baking a lot! Making Gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free goodies (That aren’t exactly goodies cause they are so low in calories and healthy)
Finding out more foods that i can’t eat has been a pain.  I can’t have Legumes (Peanuts are being tested now, i think i might be able to in super small and rare amounts) and most definitely have to avoid potatoes (But i can have sweet potatoes! yum).

My sister comes home in 9 days 🙂
I plan to spend most of my summer with her hehe. So excited!

I have to go do some laundry while it’s still sunny out (And warm! Finally warm here in Canada)
Hopefully i actually post again within two days.
Stress, go away.

Settling in.

This week I’ve been very busy with packing, un-packing, moving things around and throwing things out.  My room is starting to come together (This summer i will be doing some painting here and there to make it look the way i want it to.  For now, it shall remain white walls with un-matching desk, dresser, bed, shelf and chair haha.)

So far, everything has been pretty good.  Everyone has been getting along well and I’ve been getting healthier and happier.
I’m hoping to be able to start exercising again this week.. i don’t know, though.  It depends if there is any boxes left around that could get in the way.
Tonight, my parents are bringing my desk here.  So, i’ll be able to unpack almost the rest of my things. (Still waiting for a shelf for all my books, tea-cup and other odds and ends)  I’m a bit of a clean-freak so everything being stacked everywhere in my room is driving me crazy!  I cannot wait until i’m finished and can just relax (Before going into a get body ready for summer mode)

My bunnies are gone, a lovely lady took them in at her little farm.  She was kind, so i am at peace with it and know they will be loved and taken care of. 🙂
Well, I need to do some tidying up so i better get off the computer.
I pray I can successfully sort this stuff out!

A little summer inspiration

I have been in such a spring and summer mood lately! This year i hope to fill my wardrobe with much dresses, sunhats, collars, lace, and anything that has to do with flowers!
I love sewing and making little accessories in the summer.  Warm weather always seems to make my creative side blossom! hehehe.
So, I have been looking for a little summer inspiration (i’m already ecstatic to get my hands on some supplies!) for what i want to buy and make starting spring. (today is the first day of spring, can you believe it??)

In one fleeting moment..

You know those moments when someone says something unexpected, but it’s exactly what you’ve always wanted to hear?  like, if someone who is good at one thing tells you that you are good at doing it too.. you feel rather fantastic.  I had that this morning.. In one fleeting moment, i had a passion returned to me.. and now i feel all bubbly and terrific.

Recently, I began to have all my creative passions come back, things like painting, drawing, sewing, etc.  It’s been over three years since i have had any form of desire to have anything to do with these things.  I’m quite ecstatic to arrive and settle in at my new home so i can start putting my creative mind to work.

I’ll start looking for a sewing machine soon..  The two that i own are much too old and run down to use anymore.  And my Grandmother’s appears to be broken.
I pray i can find one that isn’t too expensive.  I’m hoping to make myself some lovely skirts for summer 🙂 Often times i can’t find what i like in stores. I recently came across vintage Simplicity, Butterick, and McCalls sewing patterns that i forgot i had in my possession. I’m hoping i can alter some of the patterns to fit my personal taste.
We’ll see how that goes,  pray i don’t mess it up hmm!

Anyways, i feel like i am just blubbering on for no reason.
I have to keep moving forward with my day.  I drank some piping hot lemon water with cayenne pepper (It did not agree with my taste buds one bit!) so i am feeling rather chipper and will use this burst of energy to tidy up the bunny cages and help finish the packing that is left to do.

Progress

I’ve been so busy with moving!! Was at my grandparents all week (without internet!) moving boxes from our storage bin.
I’m so excited to find all of my old things again.. Porcelain Dolls, Vintage Teacups, Jewelry Boxes, Sewing supplies, books, etc.  I haven’t seen these things in over two years..

Today, i am packing up everything in my room and helping my sister with any Kitchen and Living Room packing that needs to be done.  We will be cooking supper for my family (They have brought some boxes to my grandparents and will be back later) so we have lots to do!

I must continue.. can’t dilly dally for too long.
