Happy Halloween! I hope you're making a ghoulish green mug cake this morning to celebrate 😉 And watching the Halloween marathon all day on AMC! I'm a little sad though, my 1 Friday class isn't meeting today 🙁 I love my Friday class of UW! We are having a fun "online" discussion, analyzing Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining instead! Haha! But I'm bummed we don't get to meet for actual class :/ Anyway…I hope you have some fun things planned! Although I hear there is a huge cold front moving in for tonight and this weekend (at least there is here in DC). I know there won't be any trick-or-treating in the cold for me! I'll just watch something scary on TV or Netflix 😉 If you find yourself really bored this evening, just read some of these links! I have a bunch this week, take a look!
Make your life the best!
I like these! Very good to keep in mind!
You change, but you also stay grounded.
On and off the mat!
+ Must We Put Others Down To Feel About Ourselves?
A loaded post. What do you think?
Give yourself some love and care!
Sometimes it just won't work out.
I do want to run. I do want to like it. But there is still something holding me back from committing.
Great points! All real, safe, and effective!
It really is so much more than what you think.

It takes time and patience!

I totally agree with this order. You should always be first!
Sometimes we can't say what we want to say.
These are great and can be used in any situation!
This is a wonderful post! It can be really hard to let go of those "fake" sources.

+ Hard to think of much this week, but I guess I am just SO happy it is Friday and the weekend. I just want to get some work done and sleep!
+ Random but I promise it will make sense soon…Like I asked on my Facebook, what is your favorite nut/seed butter. I want specific brands, flavors, etc.!
Wow! This week flew by just like last week. I hope this welcome trend continues into next week. And let me tell you why (ie: I am about to whine and complain a bit 😉 So at least this weekend I don't have any obligations outside the house, just work inside the house. But that also includes preparing for next week. So Monday I have a huge AP Government and Politics project/presentation. My partner and I will be giving underclassmen history classes a 40 minute presentation on current events and the NJ special senate election and gubernatorial election. We are doing this for 4 classes, so that is 160 minutes of presenting in front of 4 different classes. Ugh! I am excused from all my classes that day, but on my off periods I am opting to actually attend the classes I can. But sadly I will be missing my Psychology class which we have a test in so I am hoping to take that during a different period. I also have a math test that day, but I am off that period so it works out. On Tuesday I have 2 other tests, and then Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we have our quarterly assessments in each of my 9 classes. Instead of midterms and finals, we have quarterly assessments at the end of each marking period and then a final at the end of the year (4th parking period). So I am going to be bugged down with work and studying all week. Ugh, can I handle it? And the kicker is next Saturday I have the SAT. This final one I am going to take. O man, My life depend on it (haha…kinda). So I also need to be practicing for that…particularly math. But once November 3rd comes, I will be a happy girl. I just have to get through this next week and I really hope I don't have a breakdown in the process.
I totally agree with all of Michelle's "rules" and the ones she doesn't follow.
Who ever defined these body types/ shapes in the first place? Come on, apple shape? What does that even mean?
Do you waste your time on any of these?
Yes! Taylor posted a new Variations post! Love these!

Gina does a great job on explaining how to foam roll!
+ What Should I do when I'm out of Breath During Yoga?
As long as you connect with your breath and breath, it is okay! You don't need to be exactly with in the inhales and exhales of the instructor.
You should try giving Taylor's Morning Reflection Challenge a shot.
You must read this right now! Kaila just wrote out my exact feeling on this topic! I hate those commercials and ads. I also want to add that big name companies are disgusting when they try to pass off their extremely processed "non-real food" as healthy and a better option. No, just no.
Vegan Oatmeal Pumpkin Spice Muffins. All the pumpkin!
Quinoa with Mustard Greens. So simple, so good!
