nothing artificial
/A colorful start to the day today. I need vibrant foods like this.
I am a complete freestyler when it comes to making juice. I just start grabbing fruits and veggies from the fridge drawers or the bowl on my countertop. Sometimes it turns out incredible. Sometimes I choke it down. Either way it's so good for me to drink in all that color!
I want you to know that I burned dinner while writing my last blog post. It also seems fair to tell you that there is a massive pile of dirty dishes in the blurry background of that picture above. I don't air all of my dirty laundry here because it's not always appropriate, but I want you to know that I have plenty of it. Piles of it. I'm living inside of a real life with all kinds of beautiful chaos.
Just because I publish a blog and post pictures here doesn't mean for that for one second I profess to be perfect. I want to make that perfectly clear. Nothing artificial. I am a human. I am learning. I am laughing at myself. I am screwing up. I am simultaneously hurting and loving people. Naturally, I am keeping some things private. The messy stuff, the stuff that doesn't fit inside any kind of socially approved or acceptable box exists around here. Frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way. If you don't raise a few eyebrows every now and then, you're probably living life on someone else's terms. Not for me.
It's Friday. I'm happy for that. If you need a little timeout I'm collecting pretty things over here:
