'Do & Dining

Many people have asked me in the past if I would ever consider wearing my hair down, and my answer has always been "no"...





... until now, that is.


Yes, I got quite a haircut recently! And it was purely one of those rare moments of spontaneity.

Me? Spontaneous? Yeah, that's what I thought too, haha ;)

I am starting to become more comfortable with being less of a "creature of habit," and working on accepting spontaneous occurrences as they come.



**My new motto: Life is unpredictable - learn to live it and love it as it evolves.**





On another note...



It has been yet another busy, whirlwind of a week; so to celebrate making it through to the weekend, my parents and I will be dining at an old favorite spot tomorrow night (Saturday): The Vegiterranean.

We have not ventured to this restaurant in quite a while (not since this time or that time), so we are excited to try out some of their new menu options (which, thankfully are focused more on whole foods and not imitation products).

Stay tuned for a recap of our celebratory meal!

***Do you have anything planned for this weekend? Or will you just accept a "spontaneous streak" to let everything fall into place?

Whenever I Am Feeling... It Will All Be Okay Again

Whenever I am feeling stressed out,


Whenever I am feeling weak,


Whenever I am feeling a little gloomy,


Whenever I am feeling a sense of hopelessness,



(All of which I have been feeling this past week...)



I just fight back the tears and frustration, take a deep breath, and look down.




Look down? Shouldn't I be looking up instead, you may be wondering?


To this I answer no - I look down instead. Because when I look down...





and see my little "snaggletoothed shelter pet" peering back up at me...




I instantly begin to smile and know that it will all be okay again.

**Whenever you are feeling a little down, how do you know that all will be okay again?
