Mini Monday: A Quick Morning PickMeUp

Mini blog post time!

How to make your morning commute a little better: cut up some fruit (or pick grapes off the stem) and put in a cup. Snack as you drive. A little natural sugar and a bit of hydration can go a long way at 7am.

NOTE: obviously driving should be your #1 priority whilst driving. Only snack on things that you don't need two hands to eat, or that require you to look down to pick up and eat. Fruit that doesn't drip or squish is also a good idea - don't want to stain that cute outfit!

Mini Monday: My First 5k!

Surprise! Those of you who follow my Instagram (@wornthreadbare) already know this, but I ran a 5k this past weekend! Yes it was snowing, yes I was one of the only non-OSU Div 1 athletes running, yes I had to pee, and yes I wish I'd run outside in the cold at least once before yesterday. But it was worth it!

CRAZY FACE

The race was founded in memory of a 25 year old girl who was non-smoker her whole life, yet died of lung cancer a few years ago. My family has a whole bunch of ties to lung cancer organizations for a variety of reasons, so although I ended up with an embarrassingly bad time result, I at least felt good that I finished and helped out a great cause!

Mini Monday: Clementines

Mi-ni Mo-nday (noun): occasional small tips or tricks (or just cute tiny things) to help make the first day after the weekend a little better.

Don't know what to do with the clementine peels after you've eaten the delicious fruit inside? Kitchen smelling a little funky? Just turn on your garbage disposal, run a little water, and throw 'em on down! The oils in the rind get ground up and makes your whole kitchen smell so wonderful. (Or you could compost them!)

 And how cute is this bowl?? I love T.J. Maxx clearance.
