I started reading a book for leisure coming out of finals and I'm so excited to embrace more simple living once school is over.

good luck on finals everyone!! im personally trying not to eat out this week

This past week I got to hang out with some adorable bunnies! I suggest everyone spend more time researching the products they use and seeing if they're cruelty free. It saddens me to know that a lot of our cosmetic and household products are tested on animals like the one in this picture. The consumer, aka you, play a role by embracing compassion with your purchases!

it has been a great semester challenging myself and furthering my awareness on ways I can cut down waste in my life and conserve energy. 

I just dyed my graphic design portfolio cover with madder root!

I planted my miniature veggie box yesterday afternoon with a purple tomatio, squash and some herbs as a bed cover like double, mint, chocolate mint, and thyme! It just so cute you guys! I will post a pic soon or even bring t to class on Wednesday!

Just finished up my personal sustainability plan! I enjoyed this writing experience as I got to put my thoughts and actions into words to keep me accountable in the future.

My challenges definitely were hard at first.  Now I have better habits as a result.  I eat way more vegetables and less junk food.  This is all in an attempt to eat less meat and avoid things with palm oils.  I still could do better at avoiding meats or dairy though still.   I also find myself still occasionally taking long showers once or twice a week.   Though I have significantly cut down on my water usage otherwise.  
I have found that I drive my roommates a little insane when I get on them for leaving lights on or not recycling.  Though I think my influence is making them slightly more aware of their actions as well.  I'm not sure they'll never get enthused by composting.    I try to use what I learned in this class to explain to them why I'm trying to make changes.  I haven't exactly found "common ground" with them all but I'm getting there.  I still got a week in a half of living with them so maybe I'll figure it out.
I know I still got a lot to improve on but I know I took this class for a little sustainability "push".  Hopefully I'll keep improving my lifestyle from the momentum I was given out of the class.

I am limiting myself to checking social media twice a day to avoid scrolling out of habit and looking on my phone. This is something I really want to work on and think will improve my days by milestones!

I found out that you can throw meat scraps and dairy in the compost except I don't think I will because the smell may just be wicked.
