So what does an art obsessed certified licensed counselor know about meal prep ideas and why should you care? About three years ago I started focusing on better nutrition for myself. I was probably at my heaviest, taking daily doses of blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication. Granted both of these conditions are genetic thanks to my mom and dad but also can be managed through diet, nutrition and exercise.
You’ve heard about it, if you’re Jewish you definitely know about it, if you have Jewish friends you’ve probably attended at least one Shabbat service in your life. And if you haven’t and you’re interested please feel free to reach out to me and I would be more than happy to have you as my guest.
Shabbat represents the end of your work week. It is literally the separation between the time in which you work and play any time and the rest and regrouping you spend for 24 hours each week.
I don’t know if decorating a Christmas tree is a bigger deal for a “lonely Jewish girl” or if I’m just weird. Okay wait. I am weird so that doesn’t really help my argument here. LOL but I absolutely love decorating for the holidays! Growing up we had a “Hanukkah Bush” that incorporated both of the religious faiths of my parents at one time. But I absolutely love decorating the tree! I love decorating the mantle and the rooms in general and this is just one of my most warm and fuzzy favorite feelings ever.
If you immediately caught the Lonely Jew on Christmas reference in the title to one of my favorite South Park episodes then you and I can definitely be friends! I’ve always been a fan of South Park. I love the straight-up honesty and ridiculous unrealistic dialogue between all the characters. They make fun of literally everything. And on the surface I’m totally okay with it. If I thought about it any deeper than that it would probably be terribly disturbing. LOL but that’s not what I’m about here today.
Halloween candy is super easy to get addicted to and it takes so much time to get over. I have a huge candy jug on my desk and everyone is totally surprised that I don’t dive into it every day. It has taken me a while to find my willpower but it is there. Lurking under the protective layer of blubber that is my body. Hahahahaha!
Let’s thrift! Thrift shops are the place to go for all things secondhand. I LOVE walking around aisle after aisle of cast offs looking for my next big find. When my kid was younger I hit up some of the local thrift stores to stock up on shorts and shirts for his summer camp. Since he barely comes back with any of his own clothes, I wasn’t going to spend a lot of money on new clothes that would last three weeks max. Sadly the cost of clothing at thrift shops has gone up so much that I can buy new clothes for about the same price. These days you have to know your stuff to play the thrift game.
