Although I don't wear them very often, I really love long witchy/bohemian skirts. <3 

This outfit was just thrown together on the fly, before going with Gary, his mom, and grandmother [and her two dogs] on a hike yesterday. It's a far cry from hiking gear, but I didn't know I was going until the last minute. LOL Spontaneity is the spice of life, right? 

Outfit: Summer Hike + Starting June Out Right

What I'm wearing: 

tank top - unknown | shorts - Old Navy 

belt - Lowlife | bandana - Jagermeister | shoes - Sketchers

The new tattoo is still a bit painful today, but healing quickly. There wasn't much shade on today's hike, and it's a cloudless day, so I made sure to cover it with my hand when the sun was most intense. I used sunblock, but new tattoos feel much like sunburns, and you definitely want to avoid direct sun exposure. 

What a great way to start out the new month - new body art, exercise, and a 'diet'. And by 'diet', I'm not exactly trying to lose weight, but rather, eat healthy [well, more than usual] and aim for more [lean] muscle definition. My body is important to me. 

As a 'Fibro Warrior', exercise is extremely important, to keep the muscles active and work out the knots. I'm always super stiff in the mornings [to where it's difficult to get out of bed] and the only way to relieve that is to get out and walk. It may hurt like hell at first, but feels so much better later. I've found the best way to deal is to just 'walk it off', even if it takes a couple hours. Usually that means a long hike for me, and Gary is the perfect hiking buddy. 

I'm definitely looking forward to what June has to offer.. Summertime is the best! <3

Yesterday Gary and I went on a long hike [about 17 miles overall] to Newtown Battlefield State Park, founded to commemorate the Battle of Newtown [1779], in the American Revolutionary War. 

Here I am, standing next to Sullivan's Monument, which is HUGE! 

What better way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend than to hike and grill veggie burgers at a historical site? 

Yum!

I'm so happy to see warmer weather again (even if it isn't very sunny out today). I have a LOT more spring/summer clothing than I do for the colder months. 

I'm in the process of reorganizing my wardrobe, and I get so excited when I rediscover an older piece I've missed. This tank top is one of those pieces- I've had it for many years now, and altered it for a festival a few years back, with just a pair of scissors and shoelaces. 

I'm a regular MacGyver. LOL

I'm so in love with my new Chuck-Chucks wrist cuff! (how to get 50% off) 

Outfit: I'm Dreaming Of A Green Christmas

What a beautiful weekend!

Only three days until Christmas and it's 62 degrees in upstate NY. However overcast and rainy, it's been wonderful!

Gary and I went walking today to an old cement foundation, as I hadn't seen it yet and he thought it would be a good place to take photos. He was right.

What I'm wearing:
hoodie - Teenage Runaway
pants - Old Navy
shoes - Sketchers

I like how the bones on my hoodie glow green in the dark - so fun! (But also a dead giveaway if you don't want to be seen. LOL)

It felt so good to not have to wear a bajillion layers of clothes to stay warm these past few days. Frrreeeeeee! I wasn't weighed down and out of breath like I've been feeling the past couple of months. It feels absolutely amazing, and I can't wait for the warmer months to come.

Outfit: Lots Of Layering

The days are growing even colder now, and it's time to wear extra layers and a heavier jacket. Tomorrow, we're supposed to see our first (..i don't want to say it..) snow flurries of the year. Hopefully it'll at least hold off until after the Zombie Ball Saturday night...

What I'm wearing today:
hoodie - Royal Bones
tunic - Bongo
ripped jeans - Lovesick
leggings - unknown
hat - unknown
shoes - Sketchers

Outfit: Rainy Autumn Morning

It was a chilly, rainy morning here in NY. Thankfully, it cleared up and the sun shined on the beautiful, bright fall leaves.

What I'm wearing:
jacket - Ambiance
jeans - Lovesick
hat - thrifted
belt - Hot Topic
shoes - Sketchers

The rain this morning did not help my mood much, honestly. I already had a migraine forming, I just rushed through my makeup, and then I had to go out to find it was raining. This led into an extremely rushed, busy day. But I handled it. And friends helped me through it.

The company you keep is a very important thing. If you surround yourself with people who thrive on drama, you can expect to have lots of problems. If you find a nice chill group of friends, you'll find yourself more relaxed. If you hang out with successful people, you will probably be driven to find success of your own. Funny how that works, right?

As much as some of us would hate to admit it, we, humans, are products of our environments. Where you live, your lifestyle, family, and friends are all factors in what makes you you. You can't always choose your family, but you can always choose your friends. Pick wisely.
