The most important relationship that you will ever have in your life is with yourself. Many religious and spiritual practices offer guidelines and practices by which someone can develop that relationship. Ultimately, it’s about knowing yourself as an individual, growing and becoming a better person every day. But one thing that we tend to forget is taking care of ourselves. I’ve always had a negative association to being selfish. To me, it meant not caring about anyone else around me and ...

Lifestyle { Celebrate Life }
Today is my birthday. Even though I’m a shy person, I can’t deny that the attention and overload of love is heartwarming. But I’ve realized that in the last couple of years, I have created my own tradition to celebrate my birthday. And it’s not a celebration in a traditional sense of the term.

Maybe it’ll give you some inspiration for your ...
Food { 22-Day Revolution | Week 3 }
I did it: I was fully vegan for 22 days! It has been an interesting and eye-opening experience, and I’m so happy that I was able to do it fully.

Here are a few more detailed ...
Food { 22-Day Revolution | Week 2 }
Somehow the second week on the 22-Day Revolution vegan diet was harder than the first. The first week was about adapting and learning, while the second week was more about sticking through it, regardless of whatever I was craving. I had a few moments of frustration for not being able to order what I wanted (turns out that my black bean burger with avocado was actually pretty good!) and other even more frustrating moments where I feel as though I should’ve lost more weight but have not…it’s all ...

So far, here are a few observations: { Hunger } The first 2-3 days were the hardest. I found that I was often hungry and had a headache, even though I drank enough water. It was also challenging to break the habit of having a morning and afternoon snack at work. Although my snacks are usually an apple or a banana oat bar, it was still interesting to notice ...
