The Cupboard

Thanks to Kim having to go on a Gluten Free diet, 

we found this really cute cafe' that's only a few blocks from the campus.

The Cupboard Natural Foods is actually a fully organic grocery store with a delicious cafe'. They played very soft and earthy music (with a few 80s mixed in) that really helped to relax you. But I swear Kim and I were the youngest people in that place. The elderly seemed to flock to the cafe' that night.

Kim got some turkey sandwich... thing, with a Fruit Basket Smoothie and a slice of Gluten Free Carrot Cake, which was very yummy! I got a Hot Veggie Sandwich that included avocado, spirulina, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a lot of deliciousness! I also had a Power Smoothie which contained a whole bunch of my favorite fruits mixed with Protein Powder. Gawd, I love protein powder in shakes, it just adds to the whole taste and is just amazing! I was so depressed when I had finished it! My order only came out to a bit over 11$, which is pretty good for all that I got, so I was impressed.

And the decor was amazing! I mean, a place that has a beautiful and unique painting like this has to be great, right?? 

Besides groceries and the cafe', the Cupboard sold a whole bunch of organic beauty products. I was very intrigued with all of this stuff, but it was way too expensive for me to buy anything... I never knew that there was a such thing as organic hair dye, but I wouldn't really use any of it. Sorry, but I'm not a trustworthy person when it comes to my hair, cute pictures though!

They also sold organic chocolate!! And chocolate is like my passion... Not only was there a whole bunch to choose from, but they wrapped the delicious treat with pictures of super cute animals!!! And not just any animals, Endangered Species!! How could I resist that!? But I did... Except that Kim bought me one, so I'm very happy! I haven't opened mine yet, mainly because it'll break my heart to rip an adorable otter open...

But I think I'll save my wrapping because it is so cute! >.<

Another thing that really made me happy is that they used brown paper bags, you just don't see that now-a-days! However lame it sounds, I decided to keep the bags for recycling. 

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm all into saving the planet, and all that jazz, I just wish I could do more than buy a couple of products from an organic store... Too bad I don't have enough money...

This is all I bought. This is all I could do to contribute to helping the planet... 

Sorry world!!

Eating Habits

 I have some really horrible eating habits that I am trying desperately to break: never eating breakfast, always snacking, skipping lunch, eating crap food so I don't have to go downstairs (God Forbid) to get an actual meal! So, I've decided that in this new year I am going to work on breaking these habits!
 I've created my own eating schedule that fits perfectly into my school schedule. This new regime makes it so that I HAVE to eat breakfast everyday, since I have classes beforehand, I mean; I'm already awake, why not eat?? Then, just I head out to my afternoon classes, I grab a plate for lunch. And every night, I eat at Maple, the Vegan cafeteria! I love eating their food! It's so yummy and healthy! And if I ever feel like snacking, I just grab an AppleSauce or fruit!
 Another adjustment I'm having to make along with this bad food habit, is my working out. One of my goals this year is to just make myself healthier. With a change in my diet, I've also started actually working out! I make sure I do AT LEAST one thing of working out everyday, and I only have to go to the gym twice a week, since I have dance classes twice a week, I feel more motivated to get in shape. I'm feeling very optimistic at the start of new year! I can't wait till more and more things start happening! ^-^

Friday: English 1320 @ 8-8:50AM, Japanese 1020 @ 9-9:50AM.

I am NOT a morning person, but I needed to have more free time so I would be able to get a job! And it's actually really nice having so much free time; I usually don't know what to do with myself! >.<

Bertie The Bean!

I got my First Car!! 

&He's SO CUTE!

Dad and Jennifer drove up to SanAntonio to deliver him to me.

We all met at the Cheesecake Factory and before the meal, the waitress handed me a box...

In the box, there were hundreds of jellybeans, including some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.

I was told to dig throughout the beans and inside I found the car key!

We all went outside and there was my car, with a giant bow!

I love Bertie and he is so good to me! 

I'm so excited to start driving around Denton and Dallas!

^-^

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

WELCOME TO 2012!!

Unlike the people who say that the world's going to end this year, it feels more like a new beginning to me!

I've already posted that I have these goals set for the upcoming years, 

but I actually took the time to create a 5year plan!

But I'm not going to post them until 2016, when the 5years are up. 

I want to see how much I'll be able to accomplish in the next few years, I'm going to work really hard to do everything on my list!

First things first: I need to start taking care of myself, like working out and eating better foods.

Also, I absolutely NEED to get a job this Spring Semester! 

But mainly because my top goal for the year is: GO TO JAPAN!!

I'm going to do my best to make my dreams come true! 

So keep your fingers crossed for me! 

^-^
