Things discovered in real life and online that you may like too.
FOOD STUFF: I tend to be a ‘repeater eater’. If I find something I like, I will eat it over and over and OVER again. Meaning every. single. DAY.
Some nutritionists say that’s a good thing because our bodies become efficient at digesting since it knows what to expect.
“Newness or difference from the norm is a very urban, almost postmodern, quest. It is recent. It is class-based.” - Krishnendu Ray (article here)
In my mind, this means when I eat the same-o same-o my body doesn’t haven’t to go: WTF is this!? We don’t like this! We ain’t having it!
Other nutritionists say a lack of variety means our body will decrease the amount of bacteria in our gut. Which makes us more prone to various ailments and other problems.
Obviously WHAT we eat matters.
“The single greatest predictor of a healthy gut microbiome is the diversity of plants in your diet.” - Will Bulsiewicz, MD (article here)
***note - This doesn’t mean I won’t try new things or have the palate of a toddler.
I. love. good. food!
Are you a ‘repeat eater’?
PEN I LOVE: I am obsessed with the Pilot G-Tec-C4 - If you don’t like a fine point, skip this. If you love a fine tip, order ASAP!
I press down hard when I write. This pen can take it. Pen fanatics, UNITE!
HOME STUFF: Focused on ‘making my everyday beautiful’. I am preparing to move which means purging.
I am asking myself questions about how I live.
What do I do each day in my space?
What do I enjoy here?
How do I currently live?
How do I want to live?
What do I find beautiful?
The last two questions will be helpful as I continue to purge.
For example, is this lamp still beautiful to me? It’s cute. I like it. But is it beautiful?
Do I need 10 cute wine glasses for ‘how I want to live’? I don’t.
I’d rather have two beautiful ones that I use all the time and figure it out later when I have 10 people over (which means it will be a ‘bring your favorite wine glass’ theme).
You get the point.
Let’s take steps towards living beautifully in 2023.
THAT’S IT Y’ALL - see ya here next Sunday at 3p CT - on his birthday!
