exam week comfort

Took my first calculus midterm today and I could cry of happiness. Baggy everything and my chucks were the highlight of this week. Comfort over trendy, period. Finished off the exhausting day with my boiled veggie salad with scattered seaweed, some organic unsalted peanut butter on an English muffin and a cup of yummy Darjeeling tea. I just enjoy food :)

veggie salad: boiled corn, sugar snap peas, broccoli, regular peas topped with red chili peppers, seasoned black peppers and lots of seaweed (here, i cut mine into small rectangular bite size pieces. Sometimes i roll my veggies with seaweed into small sushi-taco hybrid). Seaweed is the best topping for any salad or even just as a snack on its own. Salty, crunchy and packed with Vitamin A and C (what more can you ask for).

Mornings

Some Oolong Tea, reading and a serious cuticle massage is my favorite way to attack a new day. I have been trying to help my unhealthy obsession with coffee with the next best thing: tea. My favorites are Oolong and Earl Grey. Both are very earthy in taste and like all tea, looks like muggy, dirt water mmm. And the cuticle massage...let's just say, growing my nails is definitely not my forte (it has been on my new year's resolution list for 8 years now and still counting). As a chronic nail biter, I find that the only way to "fix" my terrible habit is by coating my nails with just about anything, whether it be a hardener, moisturizer, hand cream or cuticle cream. Burt's Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream has been my trusty friend for four years now and I don't see myself switching partners in the near future (unless the company discontinues it, in which case I'll probably cry).
