I'm training for my first 5k and duh it's hard. Not just because omg-running, but also because it's a new chapter in the book of My Relationship with My Body. It's weird, sometimes it's sore, sometimes it feels empowering and awesome, but overall there's just a lot of feelings all over the place. 

Reframing has been a major part of my road to happiness. It doesn't matter if I'm slow. I got up on Monday morning and ran a mile by 7:15 AM, and that's amazing.  When I first saw this picture, I saw it as, "oh god, I look like such a dork, that'll never go on Broadist!" But here it is. Reframed, I see a big smile and the rush of friends, doggies running in the woods, and endorphins. I also saw a picture of my dad taken the same day, 400+ miles away, making the same face, wearing basically the same colors/outfit.

sometimes you have to go on a "hike" and think about all the different meanings and uses of the word dish. why? because it's magic hour.

Caroline recently posted about self care and it got me thinking about my own self care rituals. It's not just about treating yourself or taking some time off, sometimes self care is going to that one farmers market that you like (that isn't even the closest one to your house) because you like it (and it reminds you of home).  

I took these pictures in late-February/early-March, but I've dragged my feet about posting them because school is exhausting and I forget that posting to Broadist is a type of self care (see: creativity, expression, communication, community).

This happened last night. I gasped when they pulled out matching coffin knives, not because they pulled knives out at the bar, but because they got them on Etsy (via yo-charlie via pussybow). -C

treasure island! flea market! bff! My girl [Yvonne] Wontons, my boo Alex, and I went to Treasure Island Flea Market at some point during the semester and took these awesome pictures, but I dragged my feet about posting them for too long. I'm sorry to hold out on you. there is so much goodness here.

I don't have Yvonne's outfit deets here, but I'll include my own:

high-waisted skinny jeans: uniqlo

target/missoni button down shirt

sven clogs

vintage sunglasses from treasure island flea market

leather backpack (not pictured) from Renegade Craft Fair NYC 2011

what is anything with attitude is everything?

Don't over-think it. There's more of it all after the cut.

here's our gang! L to R -- Yvonne Wontons, yours truly, and my boyf.

Unfortunately we didn't take this massive gorgeous mirror home with us, but after some light initiation we would welcome any such mirror heartily! 

Things I Love About My Boyf: he made me buy those sunglasses. I made him buy that jacket. Style + Humor + Adventure = Bliss.

this picture reminds me of Caroline. I miss you boo. <3
