peace + love.

[i snapped this pic on my cell phone, but still -- the beach is so pretty.]

i'm in a great mood today because the weekend was exactly what i wanted it to be: full of sleep and relaxation. i cleaned my apartment, rearranged a couple of things, grocery shopped and went to the beach, which is always so incredibly refreshing and soul-cleansing. some people go to church on sundays; i go to the beach. it is my church. truly.


other than that, i didn't really do much of anything, which is exactly what i wanted. and now i feel appropriately rested and rejuvenated for the coming week. i'm looking forward to getting back in the swing of things -- picking up the exercise, eating better, sleeping. and in the spirit of those things, i think some of this week's posts are going to be dedicated to health, well-being and feeling good. today's recipe is green and healthy; tomorrow's "stuff i love today" and "going green" will be health-oriented; i have a fantastic guest blog lined up for wednesday; and i'll try to pick a "style file" subject who is the epitome of health and positive self-image.


anyway, this is a short monday post, but stayed tuned for today's two -- yep, two! -- upcoming blogs: one on one of my favorite confections (ok, clearly that's more of a feel-good post than a health-inspired one) and the aforementioned recipe, which will probably be up tonight because i'm going to make it and take pictures (i'm very excited).


i hope you all had as relaxing a weekend as i did. xo.
