#dailydiary

yesterday, a warm saturday, me and my friend, h, went downtown. it is usually the place we first think of when a hangout is proposed (mainly by her, because she is not connected to many others). we have been many times. this time we watched a movie, It Ends With Us, went to a market, and got food. kind of like a romantic date.

im gonna start using Tumblr as a real diary ! who wants in on my inner demons !!??

Winds of change in here.

I am thinking about investing my time exclusively for Front-end learning. Wish me luck!

I had forgotten to do my daily morning blogs because of how busy my day already started, and I had woken up pretty late in the morning. Despite waking up late, I woke up with good intentions and positive thoughts. I like to think that having positive thoughts can benefit me a lot especially my future and my hair. 

When I woke up I did my daily morning stretches/workout. For me working out and stretching really helps me with not only my body but me spiritually and mentally. It helps keep me energized and ready for anything and really helps me stay calm and collected. It also helps keep me a happy person so there’s that.

I feel like today definitely almost became a bad day but I managed to turn it around and make it a good one. To anyone who’s having a bad day, just know that just because everything feels hopeless doesn’t mean it is. ♥

If you’re looking for a way to spice up your yogurt, add a little protein to your mid morning snack, or just love granola in general, I suggest you try this recipe. It’s super simple, uses only a few ingredients, and is so good. 

THE RECIPE

1/2 cup maple syrup  1/3 cup packed coconut sugar  4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract  1/2 teaspoon sea salt  1/2 cup coconut oil, melted  5 cups old fashioned, gluten free rolled oats  2 cups raw almonds or pistachios, coarsely chopped Shredded coconut 

1. Adjust an oven rack to the upper-middle position and preheat the oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

2. In a large bowl, which together the maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla, and salt. Then whisk in the coconut oil. Fold in the oats and almonds until thoroughly coated. 

3. Transfer the oat mixture to the lined baking sheet and spread across in an even layer. Using a stiff metal spatula, compress the oat mixture until very compact. 

4. Bake until lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through baking. Remove the granola from the oven. Allow the granola to cool before breaking apart into pieces. 

5. Store the granola in a glass jar on the counter for up to 1 month.
