You can find me in the Kitchen.

I have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen trying to learn how to cook. I can now make a pretty impressive omelet. I have also have adopted a mostly paleo diet, since it cuts out everything I am sensitive to anyways (dairy, fried foods, chocolate). I have occasional cheat days though, where I will eat a slice of vegan cheese pizza, french fries, and donuts (not suppose to eat bread). But life is too short to not treat yo self sometimes. And I refuse to ever give up donuts. Ever. 

Ive also had time to go visit some of my favorite thrift store and found a few gems. I found each of those Willie Nelson records at different thrift stores. It was like the universe wanted me to have some Willie in my life.

What is the most impressive thing you know how to cook?
And where can I find the recipe, cause I wanna try to cook it! :)

Be Brave When Thrifting.

 If you are looking to find great deals, and hidden treasures there is one rule that holds true.

BE A BRAVE ADVENTURER.

I have lived in Orlando my whole life [aka YEARSSSSS]. I know Orlando like the back of my hand, and  I still often find myself driving around down streets I have never been, and revisiting other roads I just haven't touched in awhile. Sometimes, as I explore the city, I stumble upon hidden gems like this no air-conditioned thrift/resale store that is located out of an abandoned k-mart building.

If one thing has ever held the most true when it comes to thrifting and rummaging it is this:

THE SKETCHIER THE PLACE, THE BETTER THE FINDS.

It is just true. You are going to find better quality items, for an extreme bargain. Maybe they don't know what they really have, or maybe they just get so much stuff in they just want to get rid of it and are in a constant state of turn over. But their trash is your treasure! Reap the rewards!

You just have to be brave, but don't be dumb. Obviously, please don't put yourself in danger in any way. Always trust your gut and intuition when it comes to safety, but don't always limit yourself to the comfort of a Goodwill. Often times when I go to a new city,  of course the Goodwills will always pop up on my google maps, but the gems of all thrift stores are usually ones you have never heard of and that only locals know about. Ask around! Be friendly! Explore!

Day Dates.

The smell of old books and adult life.

Spent my day off running errands and ended up at a used book store.

It was so relaxing.

“Old books exert a strange fascination for me -- their smell, their feel, their history; wondering who might have owned them, how they lived, what they felt.” ― Lauren Willig

Now Im about to put on some music and dance/sing/jiggy while I clean.

Best. Day. Off.
