    Thursday’s adventure: Dieting

    As you know, or maybe you don’t so you should go read this, I am trying to lose a moderate amount of weight and become generally healthier (aka, not binge on junk food all the time and be able to take a hike without wanting to die at the end). I am reluctant to call it “dieting” because dieting is a fad, and I plan to implement this healthy change of eating habits for the rest of my life. I would like to start writing a weekly weigh-in post, both for myself and for any of you who are trying to become healthier, to record a general overview of my…

    July Goals

    Emily over at What Emily Did Next writes monthly posts about goals she’s met and new goals she’s setting, and since I’m a total thief– but mostly because I have no outfit for you today, the reason for which I’ll tell you…eventually– I’m going to sort of steal her idea and write out my own monthly goals. 1.

    A Tribute To Hair

    I’ve been sitting here researching haircuts, and I came across an article that has you measure your face and it will calculate your face shape for you. Since I’ve always guessed oval, but never really known for sure, I did the little test. Came up round. Which… isn’t bad. Anyway, so that brought me to Googling “Haircuts for Round Face Shapes” to see what came up. One celebrity whose short hairstyle I really like, and whose face shape is round, is Ginnifer Goodwin.   This hairstyle is shorter than I had originally planned,  but I’ve been thinking “It grows back, and I’m cutting off a good amount anyway. Why not?”…
