Hello!

Welcome to my blog.

I have been hatching this idea for a while, and it's been germinating for a few months.  Oh look at that, a mixed metaphor - eggs and plants.  Both are extremely important ingredients in a healthy, balanced diet, and so I think that's a good way to start this new blog.

A short intro to this new space:
This is a blog about healthy living and the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.  By this, I mean that I shall be writing about healthy food and, when the mood strikes, I shall post a recipe or two;  I shall be writing about exercising and going to the gym, about certain observations I have made and lessons I have learned while on my fitness journey.  Of course, said fitness journey is a lifestyle choice, and it is not without its struggles and, sometimes, it's failures, so I'll be writing about those too.

Importantly, feeling good improves your perception of your body, so naturally one would want to look good and show off your healthy body.  Because I am a lady, it would be remiss of me to ignore this side of my journey, so I shall be writing about body products, skin products, (very infrequently) clothing (this topic would be more concerned with my personal clothing choices and what I have learned while shopping for clothes), cosmetics (very very rarely will there be a cosmetics post - the reasons for this I shall explain in another post - but to cover my bases, I'll list cosmetics as a topic here too), and general miscellanea to (I believe) increase the feel-good factor in one's life.

I am 25 at time of writing, I am 1.75m tall, I'm a size 12 and believe in body love and body-positive messages.  Megan Trainor's "All About That Bass" is one such body-positive piece of pop culture.  I do love my body, I think I have "all the right junk in all the right places" and "won't [ever] be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll".  But of course, there are always the bits of one's body that one would like to improve, parts one wishes were smaller, bigger, tighter, less wobbly, less embarrassing.  I have those too.  But I don't think they are worth getting hung up on or are enough cause to hate one's body.

Also, I have a long history of doing embarrassing things to my body, so there will be some of that too.  Maybe, if I feel brave.
