I had a salad today.

That was a good decision. I really liked the assortment, too: spinach, apple, walnut, feta (supposed to be goat cheese but they were out), cranberries with raspberry vinaigrette. Yum.

I’m trying to eat healthier at breakfast and lunch in order to offset the Trader Joe’s freezer food and other vitamin-deficient meals that Gavin and I have been preparing all week. We hadn’t gone food shopping since we got back from the snowboarding trip and then spent most of the weekend doing family stuff. Suddenly, Monday arrives and it’s now Wednesday already.

Luckily, Gavin did go food shopping today while I was at work and got us some good stuff. We spent the night preparing for his shoot on Thursday for Inked Girls magazine (cleaning and re-organizing furniture.) I cleared off the “make-up table” for Meagan, Gavin’s main make-up/hair artist.

After all that work, I took a lavender salt bath (part of the push toward decreasing my daily stress.) There was a lot of unnecessary drama this week.

I’ll definitely be glad when its the weekend.

Clearing out the Digital Clutter

It’s a week into the new year and so far I’ve been pretty good about cleaning up my digital clutter. I was inspired by an article on LifeHacker last year but didn’t have a chance to fully take part in something like this because there were a lot of things going on- mainly, a wedding to plan.

This year, I started cleaning up the clutter when I unsubscribed from email mailing lists I’m no longer interested in (pretty much all of them.)

It’s super simple and now, after a week of doing this, I no longer have to look at over ten emails of spam every morning when I wake up. It’s actually quite amazing.

In addition, I went through my downloads folder and have been deleting files on my laptop that I no longer use. Added bonus: more space on my computer!

I found even more tips on Mashable. Looking forward to getting started ASAP.
