Water + Plants = Life

Last month, I started drinking the right amount of water that my body needs. Depending on how much you weigh, you have to drink half of your weight in ounces every day. I found an app on my phone that lets me keep track of how much water I am drinking daily, the notifications really help.
I also started to buy fruits and vegetables from a farmer's market. I am trying to limit the quantity of processed food and animal meat in every meal. I have found that food tastes better when you make it yourself than from restaurants. You know what is going into your plate and how much of it.
I feel I have more energy, I am more upbeat and happy. Overall, I am healthy.

My Lifestyle

During the summer, I spent my time reading and thinking about how our lifestyle affects everyone around us and our environment. 

Although, companies and their advertising want us to believe that we will be healthy and happy with their products, the reality is quite the opposite. We might be content with the purchased product for about a day; while that feeling wears off and disappears, what remains is harmful to us and our surroundings. Most products packaged in plastic do not get recycled and are mixed with trash, which damages our eco-system. The chemicals inside cleaning products affect our air, our bodies, and the environment around us. 

I want a better lifestyle that includes using as few products as possible. Products that have plastic packaging that will decompose quickly and that have few to none chemicals. Products should be safe to use daily. 

A good place to start this lifestyle is to clear out harmful cleaning products from under the sink and leave or add natural products.

Progress

I've been working on sketches for a couple of dresses. I'm feeling creative and inspired. I can't wait to transform my drawings into reality. 

Tote bag

This tote bag was my first project in sewing class. It took me a while to finish it because I lost the pattern. I did have all the pieces cut out before, so putting it together was like a puzzle. It was so fun to sew!

Brand new blogger

First time blogging!

I want to share my projects that I am doing now or have done. I am looking forward to sewing new projects. :)
