+ signs

G'morning Lovers.

Do you ever have a shape that just sticks with you?

I do

For some reason I have a love for these big graphic plus signs.

I think about them all the time although have yet to actually use them in decor projects or in my own home even. 

These images remind me that I needs to be adding some BIG & bold plus signs very soon.

Don't like red, here are some more options!

What do you think?

Do you see them as a cross, or as a plus sign???

does it remind you too much of first aid, or the Red Cross?

thoughts?

JUICE FAST UPDATE:

OK let me first tell you that even though I feel better and proud of myself,

 I got a head cold and broke my toe in the process of trying to basically starve myself, detox years of toxins and lose 15 pounds.

I detoxed, I starved, but I didn't even come close to losing 15 pounds

 I am angry for being hungry for the past 7 days and feel like why did I bother?????

no seriously,

all I want to do is eat ice cream and drink 400 lattes a day.

Overall poundage lost was 6 although I am sure as soon as I think about eating cereal I will gain it all back.

Bull Crap!

Anyways, I do recommend the fast if you want to detox and "clean out" your system...

I don't recommend the fast, unless you want to be a miserable cow willing to eat a dog biscuit to get your carb fix!

There I SAID IT!

Mid Century Modern...in doses

Every now and again I go on a MCM{mid-century-modern} bonanza.

I have come to my own personal conclusion that every room needs an element of mid century.

Whether it's a piece of pottery or a papa bear chair....

It always appeals to me and a little bit is always good...

try to argue it, i dare ya!

JUICE FAST UPDATE:

Still no significant weight loss. Just a sad little pound!

I am feeling actually much better energy-wise. If I didn't have a broken toe and now a head cold & sore throat from hell I could really see how amazing the cleanse could make you feel...

I ate last night...I steamed up some broccoli and cauliflower with water and added some spicy herbs to trick my senses to thinking it was getting some super spicy Mexican food

I am gonna keep up the fast for the 7 days like I promised....

I have modified my diet a bit by adding partially steamed vegetables as a mini meal once a day.

still no sugar

not a drop of caffeine 

no meat

no dairy

no carbs

Everyday gets easier....

everyday I also dream of eating Thanksgiving dinner....

Did you see this??????

This prettiness was just on Glitter Guide and I just about popped my top

This bathroom is everything that is right with wallpaper...

In the words of the Zoe

It's MAJ

It's by Makelike and the name is "Lush" in red

I now must own it or use it on a clients house STAT..

JUICE FAST UPDATE:

Still hobbling

1 more pound lost

Less hungry

Ate an avocado last night and some seaweed....also sipped on some more vegetable water 

Still starving

still sick of juice.

5 things I ain't mad at: PART 2

You may remember a while back I posted about 5 trends I was not mad at...here

well it's time for another round.

These five trends are totally common and most definitely played out, 

however

I refuse to let them go...what do you think?

1: Boho Glam

 

2:Touch Of Brass

3: Leopard Stuff

4: Gigantic Art

5: Rustic Love

 

Love It or Leave it

Whats your verdict?

JUICE FAST UPDATE:

It still sucks!

I dropped a scale on my toe and broke it....

That's right...the scale broke my GD toe and I am hobbling around like an angry & hungry troll.

I caved today and made myself some more vegetable water soup.

I put some onions, celery, carrots, and peas in a big pan with water and boiled it all together.

Then I blended it up and called it a soup..wasn't bad compared to the disgusting juice.

I am happy to say though that It has defo been easier today than yesterday.

I don't feel like I have lost any weight yet accept I hobbled onto the devil scale and I lost 4.5 lbs.

all water no doubt, but still motivation to keep it up,

 at least for one more day.

P.S

Having a broken toe sucks real bad....

having a broken toe and detoxifying your body, sucks worse

having a broken toe, while detoxing, while in pain, hungry and not sleeping, sucks the most!

wah wah wah

Stringy

sometime people impress me

the person who makes string art well, is a great example.

this is a DIY project I reckon I will never do for fear of looking like a moron compared to this talent!!!

observe

it's all so pretty!

This one they created a piece of art using string wrapped around a block..cool idea.

This last one isn't string, it's tape!!!!!!!! how amazing is that!

JUICE FAST UPDATE:

It SUCKS

I did juice all day until around 4PM when I started getting really twitchy.

I went and boiled some water with onions and vegetables and peas so I could feel like I was eating soup...instead of drinking gallons of green nastiness 10 times a day. 

It was a nice treat.

So far, honestly I cannot imagine myself going 7 days....

I don't even know if I could go another morning.

This shit is hard...

ALL YOU DO IS THINK ABOUT FOOD!!!

I am gonna try today to not think so much bout food and think more about the bigger picture.

I am starting again today with a fresh head on my shoulder.

Hey Amber "You Go Girl !"

oh and BTW

In an ironic twist..

I dropped a scale on my toe last night and I am pretty sure it's broken....

FML!
