I have officially finished my first Master's course, woo hoo. I am now 2 weeks into my second course - Theories of Personality. So fun. I get to delve into why people are the way they are. I do that all the time in random places like grocery store line-ups and sidewalks, now I am adding to my repertoire. Awesome.
I thought I'd share the Personality Questionnaire with you cause it was SO interesting and SO bang on who I am. I now have to write a 10 page academic paper on my results - analyzing MY personality. So fun!
So if you're intersted here's what you do:

stuff I like - part 1
I have the tendency to get very attached to things. I think it has something to do with being the baby of the family and about as sensitive as a little flower. Aw. Anyways, there are so many things that I have that I love and cherish.
One of those things is my reusable mug. At first, I bought it because my sister likes me to be enviro-girl and I like to make her happy. It didn't take long for me to practically attach the mug to my hip. I use it every day for my coffee, if I forget it at home I turn the car around to get it. When I make my espresso at home I now drink it out of my to-go mug so it stays warm for at least 3 hours and I get to enjoy every sip slowly.
When I went to Hawaii my mug came on board with me so I could get a much needed coffee at 5 in the morning in L.A. and at 4 in the morning in San Fran on the way home. Every single morning on our trip we went to Starbucks to get delicious coffee (I swear Starbucks tastes better in Hawaii).
One day I took it whale watching and sipped my latte as I watched 40,000 pound beasts throw themselves out of the water - wicked. Anyways, on the way back I went into a lavish bathroom and left it sitting on the edge outside.. I didn't realize until the next morning when I headed out for coffee. To me it was gone. I was sad, but you know what? I knew I'd get over it... Eventually.. My knight in shining armour insisted we drive back to Lahaina and check to see if it was there. I doubted it but always like my man to be the hero so I agreed. Sure enough it was sitting there waiting patiently in the 10-minute parking zone. I guess I thought for sure someone would pick it up but when in retrospect, why would someone want a well-used mug that recently survived a tumble down the stairs?
I'm sorry for leaving you mug. I cherish you even more now that you had an overnight adventure in the big bad woods of a Hawaiian pier.

coco
You know something I've always wanted to do? Give myself a facial while sauteing my onions...
Well now I can.. and I do! What is better than using the oil you ingest on your skin? I have recently been introduced to the wonders of coconut oil. This stuff is so freaking awesome. I've been using it since before I went to Hawaii, it was one of the first things I bought at the grocery store in Hawaii and I have used it every day since returning. I was super worried about my skin peeling when coming back from a humid environment to the super dry air of the Rockies and was also worried cause my skin reacts when I detox from milk (inevitable on vacation I have decided). So every night and sometimes in the mornings I smother myself in coconut oil and my skin looks better than it ever has, I swear. I love highly recommending products and this one is a definite must - like Birkenstocks!

words to live by
Have you ever had a conversation with a friend about life's issues and all of a sudden one sentence they say might as well be blinding you like the lights of times square? I love that. I live by so many one liners that encourage and motivate me to be a better me. Those few short words are easy to remember and recall during moments of distress... or delight. It's like a little mantra to repeat in your mind and remember what's important. I definitely have had many of those mantras spoken to me by wise friends and family members but I've also found them else where, waiting for me to unwrap them just like a present. When I go to my tea drawer, more often than not, I grab the Yogi tea for 2 reasons: first, it really is delicious tea and secondly, about 1/3 of the way through my cup I check the words of wisdom attached to the tea bag and do a little reflecting of where I am in that moment and how those words pertain to me. A few weeks ago my sister left me her Yogi teas words of wisdom which, resonated with me at the time and which, I yesterday, repeated to a friend and let the words resonate with her. It's an uplifting treat to look forward to and just seems to make sense when you give your body something as refreshing and cleansing as a cup of tea that you get a little refreshment and cleanse for the mind too.

white rabbits
February 1st. Wow, could it REALLY be February 1st already? I hardly believe it. It seems like just yesterday that I was writing about new years. It just gets crazier and crazier how quickly time passes. I remember when I was so little running around the backyard, naked as I came, thinking how far away tomorrow was. Actually, I probably wasn't thinking that at all, the concept of tomorrow isn't even in a child's conscious, unless of course, tomorrow is Christmas. Then it seems like a completely realistic and conceivable million days away. The point of those last sentences is to cherish every moment. Live in this second cause they go fast, again, unless it's something as awesome as Christmas then maybe it's okay to live for the presents that are yet to come....!
My Grandma on my Dad's side taught me about white rabbits. It is something I do now every. single. first of the month. The point is to say "white rabbits" as soon on the first as possible and I guess that means you'll have a good month.. I always try to say it as soon as I can and last night I said it at 12:04. Woo hoo that means that February might even be better than January... I am by no means superstitious. I don't wish at 11:11, I don't wish on the first star, I don't pick up pennies on the street, etc., etc., etc. Though, come to think of it, I do avoid walking under ladders. Odd (and a random fact). So, I guess I just say white rabbits on the first to honour my Grandma and I feel like she helps me have good months. Thanks Grandma :)
