Thought I'd update a personal post in between my Philly Day 3 so it doesn't look like a jumble of entries. Another via instagram life update :)
I've recently been obsessed with making sushi. Part of the reason is lent and no meat friday's too. I made these without a sushi maker, just saran wrap and being very careful. I used half brown rice aswell! For the longest time my parents have switched to having half brown rice and half white rice, so naturally I've taken their eating habits and now incorporate them into my own. I also recently noticed how healthy both my parents eat. We always have organic meat, eggs, fruit, and vegetables. If not organic usually home grown or from local farmers that my parents have made friends with. They also handle their own meat, this is probably the upside of having a family in the agriculture business. I know these habits have been with them since their Philippine day's but it's made me think how I'll be eating when I have a family of my own. I hope to eat just like my parents though, even if it's a bit pricey, I know it'll be the most healthy.
I was lagging on my exercise habits but I've slowly been back to working my way up to exercising often. I found something new to keep me motivated in gaining weight/fitness goals. Myfitnesspal counts my calories for the day also keeps track of my "goal" calories. The sad thing about all this is I actually never realized how much I ate a day till now. I'm glad I decided to do this because it's keeping me on track instead of just stuffing my face with unhealthy food to gain weight. I'm actually finding healthy ways to eat while building my calorie intake.
This is actually from earlier today, i'm trying to color block more often. That explains the touch of red/orange bracelets and the statement teal pants. I wore my Zara Knit that's actually quite revealing since it has a whole bunch of holes in it, but I wore a bandeau under since it was a nice sunny day out. I added my Tom's Wedges (I know I did say I was boycotting them but I already bought these plus their my skin tone, which is so hard to find in shoewear if i'm going for a nude look). My bag is actually thrifted from a retro/vintage store in Berkeley when I was visiting my beau <3
The reason I went out today, along with other organic face products. I've recently been experiencing horrible dry skin. My skin is severely sensitive to most products and I know for a fact that usually if I choose all natural products for my face, it is 100% effective. My lips have recently been acting up, they've been so dry that they were starting to blister, been so bad that they won't take anything but 100% aloe to heal them. I was using Cetaphil & Proactiv for a while and both seem to be drying for my face now, and when I do wash my face it's hard to miss my lips. The combination of dry weather and face products must of been the cause of horrible dry skin. Today was one of the first day's my lips haven't been so bad, thank goodness because I was in pain for the past 2 weeks.
Usually when I eat dinner (I don't really have anyone to eat dinner with so I usually just eat alone) I watch T.V (yes, I know horrible habit) and Hair Spray was on! Well at least the last 20 minutes. I was reminded how much I absolutely LOVE this movie, the era, and musicals. Ok I never forgot about how much I LOVE musicals, haha. Anyways I leave with one of my favorite songs from the movie. Welcome to the 60s and the reason for my headline ;)
