things i love as of late:
1. pistachio gelato, quinoa and a vegetarian burrito bowl from chipotle.
food. food. food.
these are my cravings lately.
2. going back to my second home in life; the dance studio.
as nice as it was to stuff my face with carbs and sugar during break...
it's not so nice putting leotards and tights back on.
that being said, the motivation to get back in shape is exhilarating.
3. reading.
oh, how lovely it is to pick up a book for enjoyment rather than for school.
we've been cozying up while reading ourselves to sleep. it's the perfect ending to a day.
4. aquifer lip balm.
it's incredible.
i've been addicted to aquifer for years. but the new lip "stuff" takes the cake.
5. little old grandpa's and grandma's out and about.
they melt my heart on a daily basis.
movies, grocery stores, restaurants...
i wonder and hope we'll be as charming and as cute, years down the road from now.
things i hate as of late:
{strongly dislike or am easily bugged by}
1. the "bumps" on the road.
california roads have obnoxious bumps as dividers for the lanes instead of nice smooth lines.
it sounds and feels like a miniature earthquake every time you change lanes.
2. the opposition in our school semesters.
lovebird started this monday. i start in three weeks.
this so kindly makes our spring breaks and the last day of the term one month apart from each other. boo.
3. the way my body aches.
welcome back to ballet.
every muscle is screaming. quite literally.
especially my neck. i underestimated just how much ballerinas use their necks.
4. dry skin.
i'm a crocodile right now. and that about says it all.
5. when someone walks out of a public bathroom without washing their hands.
yes, i'm a germ-a-phob. but, that's besides the point.
it's disgusting in every way.
a little love-hating in life can never do you harm.
{as long as you love more than you hate.}
