I won't pretend to say anything about how long I've been gone or how my ups and downs have gone. Life gets crazy, and if you're still reading all of this you know just how crazy. Let me just give you the run down of how things are now.
1) I have a bunny! He's all black, his name is Loki and he is a MASTER at chaos.
2)I have a gaming computer now, and in an effort to try to equalize things I'm going to start streaming again, but the way I want to this time. I'll be playing games, mixing music, and if I feel like people want it I'll start mixing drinks too. I'm open to possibilities and want to build a community of friendship around myself.
3)Our two kittens are happy, healthy, and as unpredictable as ever.
4) I'll be taking LOTS more pictures soon.
5)I have a good job, with good pay, and good hours. My manager cares about my health and most of my coworkers are brilliant.
6)I. Miss. Music. So you'll be hearing a lot more about that.
7) Float tanks are BRILLIANT. You know, the sensory deprivation float tanks? I haven't been able to reach my toes in years. After an hour I could touch the floor. You'll be hearing my adventures with that and possibly...what's it called...cryotherapy? They one where you go into a pod that's super chilled for a short amount of time.
8)My journey towards health and happiness is ever changing, ever growing, and ever evolving. If you have any tips, tricks, hints, or support don't hesitate to let me know. I'm all ears for respectful people.
Have a good day my lovelies and I'll be seeing you much more soon.

Alright. It's been a long journey. It's been a long time since I've updated my blog, but this is the time in my life where it's actually more feasible to start a large project like this. I promised myself a while back that I was going to be more healthy, more fit, more active, more alive. It's taken me this long, but I've finally started the path that direction. I have many things to talk about, including the workouts I've started, and the recipes, ,but for now I'm going to start with this
Fruit infused water
And let me just say that my inner drink artist is satisfied with this, although it's lack of alcohol content is a bit saddening. In my quest to become harder, better, faster, stronger I've been trying to drink enough water. (Half your body weight in ounces) This is difficult for me given that before now my water consumption was notoriously low. Drinking water is difficult when your favorite drink is milk.
So here goes. This is my first attempt, so I didn't think to much into the combinations except what I thought would taste good.
Bottle One: Apple, Lime, Rosemary
As you can see, there is quite a bit in these bottles. In fact, I cut up half an apple and a whole lime. I was apparently a bit overzealous with the rosemary for my first time though. I placed an entire sprig of rosemary in the bottle, and even now I can taste the regret. Between the lime and rosemary it was bitter, with a long after taste. The apple seemed to help a bit, but overall it was extremely sour.
The verdict? 3/10
Definitely wouldn't do it again like this, but I would probably modify the recipie and try again.
Bottle Two: Orange, Lemon, Mint
The ingredients in this one? Half an orange, half a lemon, and 2 sprigs of mint. The orange and lemon are a bit bitter, and the two of them together can cause a bit of acid for those people who are a little susceptible to that. I have a problem with textures especially with the foods that I eat, and until now ingesting oranges has been tough. This water makes me insanely happy. I enjoyed the refreshing quality of the citrus and the aftertaste of the mint.
The Verdict? 8/10
This would be my go to if it didn't cause so much acid. So happy I can have oranges in my life.
Bottle Three: Strawberry, Cucumber, Mint
OH MY GOODNESS. Okay let me say first that this was one mini cucumber, about 4 strawberries, and another 2 sprigs of mint. Now that that is out of the way, this is amazing! I couldn't get enough of it and I was sad when it was gone.
Verdict? OMG like 11/10
I'm making another one tomorrow, but unfortunately I don't think that I can reuse the stuff that's already in the bottle. A little more spendy, but SO worth.
