Just a little Cheer

Hi peeps!

I just saw this baby otter wandering around on the internet and decided that he needed to be shared with my lovely internet strangers. Enjoy.

See, the internet can have positive benefits too! There are so many ways you can harness the power of the world wide web to motivate yourself.
Try fitness tumblrs, funny stories, or youtube videos of super athletic people.
It really gets you moving.

Okay that's it, hope you all are having a lovely sunny weekend!
Enjoy loveliness and remember to muse :)

Banana Cake

FOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD!

I'm not even going to attempt to describe my love-hate relationship with that simply edible entity.
Instead, here's a 3-ingredient recipe for simple and cute-looking banana cakes!

If you haven't yet, read the last post (Refresh Yourself) and try your hand at baking! Let this be your "something new". :)

*From Healthy Hallelujah:

No fuss, 3 ingredient banana cake

- 1 banana
- 2 eggs
- 2 scoops of protein powder

Mix everything together in a food processor. Cook for 20 minutes at 220 degrees Celsius (430 degrees F) or until lightly brown on top.   

Now, I don't know about you, but I don't own any protein powder. I'm thinking you could probably substitute flour with a pinch of baking powder. But hey, I haven't made this yet....I guess my period of begin refreshed has ended, seeing as how I'm becoming reacquainted with procrastination so quickly. 

WELL I hope you give this a try! Enjoy loveliness and remember to muuuuuuuuse! :)

Refresh Yourself

Hello earthlings!

For two days this week I have been dazedly observing some sort of miraculous occurrence; I went to bed before 12:00. Both nights.
STRANGE RIGHT?! Seriously though, I had developed a legitimate routine of getting into bed at approimately 12:48 each night. Not exactly healthy when you need to wake up at 6.

But seeing as how this strange, strange thing will most certainly be short-lived, I'm going to take advantage of the time that it does exist and tell you, to the best of my abilities, how I did it.

I refreshed myself.
Hence the very creative post title.

 No but really, trying something new, or simply forcing your mind to do something a little bit differently, completely refreshes your mind and can easily lift your brain out of that cavernous pit of procrastination and self-despair. You all know what I'm talking about; we all know the inside of that pit better than we know our pillows.

For me, the catalyst was beginning to read for pleasure again. Reading is great. It's like the smart-people form of distraction, and it sharpened my brain while giving is a respite from soggy math homework.
I also found some new music, and this helped to enliven my zombie-like state of being. "One More Night" by Adam Levine. That's my jam.

So step out of your normal routine. Try something new. Hopefully, if all goes well, you'll see a spike in your productivity and creativity and general well-being.

Hm. I guess this is a sign from Mother Nature to literally spice up your life. Because new is only new more so long, you know?
Is a good life the life where there is no normal?

Ha. Let THAT be your unofficial thought provoker. :)

And here's a picture, just for good measure.
