          H i everyone, hope you've all had a beautiful weekend full of memorable moments and people. Over the weekend I've decided to blog about other things beside food and food on this blog. By other things that means DIY projects, health advices, environment, and just things that will make you live a healthy and beautiful life. With that said, lets talk DIY projects. I've recently developed this obsession with thrive shopping which I am proud to admit becuase I used to be one of those people who just shopped at a high end stores and spent $50-60 for a shirt or sweater. But then I realize that what I buy at an expansive store for $50 I can get at a second, or thrive store for $6 dollars. You'd be amazed at what threat, and needle can do. So over the weekend I had the opportunity to go to this vintage store (second hand store) and got this really cool pants, but as always it was too big and looked like PJs. So instead of  not buying pants, I've decided ...

S o I haven't had a long bath in years, and today I had the pleasure of taking a 5 minutes bath and I feel AMAZING. I know taking a bath is not the best way of taking a shower because of the amount of water used. But Every now and then a long bath is a good idea because it contains a lot of benefits. A long bath goes a long way because it r elax muscles, calm your mind, detoxify, moisturize, stimulate circulation and clear your lymph system.

Green tea has great health benefits, it can reduce the risk of cancer, ease the pain of rheumatoid arthritis, boosts immune system, and helps to fend off infections, and among others.  Happy Hump Day

But it gives me the chance to blog so its win win situation. So lately I've been really into gardening which I don't know why. However, I have a theory that the knowledge of planting something and then seeing it grow over the course of time makes me feel proud of myself because I feel like I've achieved something.  So far I have three plants, which are still alive which I am so proud of. The first is Cinnamon Basil, Green bell pepper, and unknown. As always I am being green here, so instead of using a gardening pots, I decided to use Starbucks and Bridgehead cups which looks pretty cool. Also Today had the chance to do my laundry, and unlike the majority of the population I don't use machine to dry my clothes, but I hang dry it. Hang drying your clothes has great benefits, like you can save money, reduce CO...
