Little Inspirations

I'm feeling really inspired lately, probably because spring must be on it's way eventually...although the forecast says snow and more snow. I've been reading blogs that I'm interested in, pinning on Pinterest and writing in my journal nonstop. Even with all of this, I think everybody could use a little extra nudge sometimes. I could use that nudge right now. I figure there's no better way than to share with the internet world that I am going to stay good to my body - eat well, exercise well, sleep well. Then I will feel well. :) Let's count this as a pact.

Story time:

I went downstairs to search for ingredients to make a healthy lunch just 30 minutes or so ago. Being at my parent's house, they don't care quite as much about living a fully healthy lifestyle as I do. I searched the fridge and the pantry and with nothing really healthy and appetizing in sight. Then I laid my eyes on an unopened box of Valentine's Day chocolate. Dun dun dun...

I'll let you imagine what happened after that. So yeah, I really need this extra nudge of motivation.

First we have this little quote. Tres inspirational. I'm a top notch procrastinator so let's try to remember this one. Ya got that, Isabelle?

No more giving power to the Valentine's Day chocolates. They didn't even taste that good and Valentine's Day is so three days ago. Let's not forget that one either.

Here's a little warm weather inspiration. I think Candice might be from a different dimension with that bangin' bod but a girl can dream, right?!

'If you don't trust yourself, no one else is going to, either.'


More inspirational pics are coming your way so stay tuned, folks. Enjoy the snow and keep in mind that hibernation is coming to an end!

DIY - Botanical garden prints

I've been wanting to hang botanical garden prints in my kitchen for a while now. Problem is, I only had a few books with prints and they are all way too nice to tear pages out of. So instead I decided to make my own! I went with water colors because I think there's something so beautiful and delicate about them. I could see colored pencils looking nice too. The plan is to make some more, I'll have to wait until I have more spare time. These really didn't taken that long but putting away water colors once they're spread out on the table can be such a pain!

To make these, I simply went on Pinterest and searched for botanical garden prints. I picked some pictures that I thought were pretty and painted away! It took about 10 minutes per painting. This was very relaxing and put me in a great mood. It's a perfect Sunday morning activity to do with a cup of tea.
