SOUL SESSIONS

I am currently in love with:

Coffee. It's the one thing that if I sincerely had to save money, my almost daily Starbucks/Coffee Bean will NOT be the first to go. I don't know why I love a good coffee so much but it helps me get that kick I need to really get my day going! My bf wants me to cut down, because all the caffeine probably isn't good for me, but my day isn't complete without it!

Reading a good book instead of going out. Maybe it's my lazy attitude lately towards getting dressed up to be anywhere near a big crowd (special occasions only)... but a good book + coffee always come out the winner in choosing between the two. I have so many half-read books, so many untouched books that I've bought and haven't read...that I'm sad I haven't given myself time to go back to them. I remember reading an article about loving what you love + owning it.... reading books has always been one of those things.. and I'll own it forever.

Productive early mornings. Not to say that this happens everyday, or often actually, but when I actually do get myself out of bed to appreciate the morning, I really really love it. Sometimes I wish I still lived in LA where breakfast can be eaten down the street or I can grab a cup of coffee before anything, but I'll take even just the serenity from a quiet morning at home in SD. I love when the day hasn't really started for other people yet either and everything is still slow and beautiful.

Sunset after exercising. I love stretching after a run while the sun is setting. The sky is beautiful and I feel alive.

 Eating healthy + more fruit to my diet. My bf and I have been on a workout tip lately. The fact that he teaches me on make better choices about eating/sweets/working out, has me already feeling better about myself. I strongly believe in living a healthy lifestyle and not just dieting for the season.
