seven ways to kick this week’s ass. xo

top ‘o the mornin to ya!  (;   are you ready to make this week a fantastic one?!  i sure hope so. xo

• clean your tongue! get in the habit of brushing your tongue (or use a tongue cleaner) and flossing every single morning.  hundreds of bacteria that harbor in your mouth each night, and cleaning your tongue is the biggest way to prevent bad breath.
• don’t go out to eat this week. make it a point to only eat home cooked meals.  ditch the greasy fast food and allot extra time in your schedule to prepare delicious, healthy meals for you and your family.
• start a blog! jessica mullen just recently posted an amazing bit about reasons you should start lifestreaming (if you even needed one!).  even if you don’t think lifestreaming is for you, try a simple blog about your hobbies or interests!
• create a vision board. christine kane has a pretty great little bit on creating one.
• try a vegan diet for the week. if you’re already vegan, of course, this doesn’t apply to you.  if you don’t think you can go a week, try a few days.  this website gives some pretty outstanding information about how giving up meet, rather than you car, can have more of a positive impact on the environment.
• take a trip to your local farmer’s market. local produce is generally sold within days after it’s picked.  in contrast, the produce seen at your supermarket may take one to two weeks to get to the shelves and may be loaded with chemical preservatives used to extend shelf life.
• unplug your tv. in the times of laptops, iphones and ipads, twitter, facebook and everything in between, why do you need your tv?  take the time you would have spent watching tv to read a book or take a walk.

let’s make this an enchanting week! (: xo
