And so it Begins

My first post on my first ever blog.  I love new beginnings.  There are few things better than the freedom you feel with a fresh start.  I turned 30 this year.  30.  Leaving my 20's wasn't nearly as depressing and life-changing as I had imagined it would be.  I've been married for 6 years and have a 4 year old daughter so my days of blowing a whole paycheck on Jimmy Choos and wild nights out have decreased slowly over the past few years.  Don't get me wrong, I still love beautiful shoes and nights out. If anything I think I probably appreciate them more now. 

Over all I am very happy with my life.  As do so many other working women, I find myself  trying desperately to find the enigmatic balance between work and family life.  One of my major problems is that I don't love my job. Some days I downright hate it.  On the plus side however, it's exactly 7.2 miles from my house and since I work in a school, I get the same vacation time as my daughter.  I am in awe of people who love their jobs and I hope that one day I manage to figure out just what it is that I am supposed to do in life. 

One thing that I am passionate about is healthy living and eating.  I firmly believe that what we put into our bodies has a huge impact on so many different aspects of our health.  Because of this I have recently switched to all-green eco-friendly cleaners, laundry detergents and bath products.  There are so many studies linking cleaning products and cosmetics to cancer and a multitude of other health problems.  I've found a wealth of information which I will pass on in future posts. 

Thank you for reading!  I hope that you stick with me through my journey of self improvement and my quest to find pure and natural happiness. 

In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired.  ~Author Unknown
