kind words
for some reason, whenever i go to lululemon.com to shop, i always end up reading their manifesto. i am not yet sure if it is because i need the constant reminder of the message that it sends or if it is simply because i think it has a massive cool factor, but i wanted to re-post it on here for those of you who haven't read it lately (or ever). i have always found kind words and messages such as those embodied by the lululemon corporate persona to be motivating. it makes me think about what my personal manifesto would read, should i ever choose to create one. what would yours read? i am still working on mine but for now, my favourite line is one that i shall thank my favourite teacher, mrs. wilson, for:
if nothing else in life, be flexible and keep smiling.
nice, right? think about yours. it may encourage you to do or be something wonderful.

ello mates!
i hope that all of you dalhousians out there had an excellent break from studying and are ready to be back in the barracks and to brave the inevitably long days that await us at the killam. i don't know about you guys, but one of the most inconvenient things for me that comes along with long library days is the struggle of eating healthily. the only snacks i really enjoy packing are fruits and veggies. unfortunately, after 7 or 8 library days in a row, these snacks tend to lose their appeal and i fall victim to the unhealthy, carb-filled treats that tim horton's and the bistro provide. i also find it difficult to bring sandwiches, salads, or wraps due to the soggy state they take on after 5 hours of sitting in my back pack. i know that the grill and the booster juice in the SUB provide a decent selection of food and drinks, however i find that they are, for the most part, unhealthy and over-priced.
that is why i am so excited that the DSU has only extended their sodexo contract for one more year and is currently in the process of (potentially, with YOUR help) working out a better food deal for students. this coming thursday, march 3rd (at 5:00 p.m. in the mcinnes room of the SUB), students will be given a chance to voice their opinions on what types of food they would like to see on campus after the sodexo contract expires. this is an excellent opportunity to share ideas and really give some input into what you'd like food on campus to look like in the future. whether it be vegan alternatives, better priced meals, or locally produced food, the possibilities really are endless - especially if the student support is strong enough!
i understand that many of you will likely be busy with getting back into the swing of things but i hope to see some of you there :)

i was in toronto the other day to visit my boyfriend and he took me to this great little restaurant downtown called the pickle barrel. we had the bruschetta as an appetizer which just so happens to be my fave food of the moment and it was absolutely unreal! not only did it taste amazing but it also looked super nifty, too. if you're ever in toronto and in the mood for some tasty eats, check it out.

plain and simple, thom yorke is nothing short of a living legend. i cannot stop watching the video for or listening to the song lotus flower off of the new radiohead album the king of limbs. if you haven't heard/watched it yet, you would benefit from doing so!

hey guys,
as you may already know, i am a pretty avid fan of running. that is why, with the beginning of some warm (spring like) weather, i would like to encourage you to get out for a run! the link below will take you to a women's health mag article on some basic yet key benefits of running and all of the goodness that comes along with it. the most key thing about running for me is the stress it relieves, especially around mid-term and finals season (which seems to be scarily approaching). i know from personal experience that incorporating running into an every day lifestyle can be somewhat of a challenge so i hope you can find this article useful :)
be kind,

in the beginning
ello ello!
this whole blogging thing is really new to me so i am still in the process of figuring a few things out. the main reason i wanted to start a blog is so that i can get away from using facebook so much and still have the ability to share fun stuff i find online . . . so hopefully you guys will check back often for cool updates.
be kind,
m
