Can I Go On a Mini-Vacation Alone?

Not have taken any time off during Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years, I am totally ready for a vacation! Like any person, I thought to do a quick Google search on mini-vacations to take alone. Something nice and relaxing, not too expensive, weekend trip, drive-able distance. Here’s how my search went. First reaction: I was taken aback! Why can’t I, as a single woman decide to take a vacation by myself? Does it have to be an Eat Pray Love kinda situation? Of course, I was just briefly and quickly browsing for some ideas, and if I would have paid closer attention to the captions for each website, the first website DOES say it’s for divorcees.

Meal Prepping My Way Into the New Year

Like my previous blog suggested, the New Year is all about optimism. With this optimism, I prepped my meals for the week. Hard boiled eggs, turkey bacon and fruit (banana or orange) Flat bread wrap. Toppings: Smoked Turkey Deli, Hummus, Jalapeños, Craisins and Avocado Slices. Snack: Jalapeños String Cheese and Apple Slices. Option 1: Tandoori Chicken and Sautéed Mushrooms, Onions, Spinach and Bell Peppers. Option 2: Coconut Thai Noodles ~Cell-ebraTez

During this time I tend to forget about all the hardships that life brings about. New Years brings out the hopeful and optimistic side of me (the only time to be so, if you ask me). I finished 2015 with a BANG! I like to think that I accomplished most of the resolutions I had set for myself. I tried to be healthier, I worked out more in the year 2015 than I ever have in my whole life, I traveled a little, I tried A LOT of new experiences, I got my first tattoo, I over came heart break and opened myself to new relationships, made new friendships, went to Harry Potter World, and last but certainly not the least, finished my independent project of 2 years and submitting my first, first author manuscript!! Take that 20...
