Thanks Snow Day!

Today was a much needed snow day for us in GA! It sounds awesome to get an excused weekday off at work and time to catch up on sleep...it's been exactly that. A lazy day. Which can sometimes be a drag for me; especially since I got snowed in alone. Not even my roommate is here. So, it's just been me, the TV, and phone. I've enjoyed catching up on rest and just being lazy tho :)

My weekend was super busy, so this makes up for all of it! I keep busy during the weekends. This weekend I spent much needed time with my mom. We enjoyed shopping (at two malls and little 5 points allll day), chatting, and we even had a sleepover at my house!! Fun times! So today turned out to be a great, chill, much needed bummy day.

While enjoying my day inside, I obviously watched a TON of TV. But I also had time to stop and just have a thinking day. I thought about alot. How I want to become a better person in many different ways. Embracing God/spirituality more, spending more time with my mom, seriously living a healthier lifestyle (working out, eating healthy); really focusing on myself and what I need to do to be a better India. I tend to try to keep myself busy; while being alone is never what I consider "fun". But today was different. I enjoyed it- it was a "self planning" day for me. Making a serious plan for the next month for myself is a step forward for me. Having/making a plan is important with achieving personal success. But this is something I never really did. Even journaling was never something I did as a kid. I've just always been kind of "go with the flow" and i definitely don't recommend that all the time.

So, thank you snow day! I needed this! AND I'm especially excited about tomorrow's snow day as well :) I plan to start my new journey tomorrow with my new goals. I think it's an awesome idea for me since I'm such a procrastinator. I mean, being that I'm not in school anymore I really don't feel like I have a real purpose for doing anything. So I have decided every 5-6 months or so I will create obtainable goals for myself that have purpose and importance. Things like saving a certain amount of money; cooking so many days out of a month instead of pigging out on fast food; losing a certain amount of weight, etc..This way the things I NEED to do will happen if I put a time frame on things as well as creating incentive: self benefit! And will also help me create a routine and not just a "binge practice"- 6 months of change should do the trick. This could really work for me- so I'm being hopeful. I'll share later what my #1 goal is for this "semester" :)

Thanks again Snow Day- you've been great!

Intro Entry :)

I have decided to blog :) There is no real reason; just an open diary of thoughts, feelings, experiences, and whatnot. I really don't have a purpose for this blog seeing as it was an idea that one of my bestie's, Sheila, introduced and encouraged. At first, I was like "but I have nothing to write about" and still don't- but we're just going to freestyle it for now until I become more inspired. lol.  I'm a newbie to this so bare with me on the pics and cutesy stuff just yet; Sheila will have to school me on that aspect of it. Haaa! I'm sure she'll be happy to do so, being that she made my blog in minutes (and mind you ECSTATICALLY!!!!) after only mentioning it to me!

An infinite number of thoughts run through my head each day- so i have decided to share them here. I am definitely going through a lot in my life right now. Being that I'm 26 and really haven't "found" myself; I feel very lost in lots of ways. I am single; I live in a city away from ALL family; don't really have many friends (which is a good thing most of the time, but the friends I do have are wives/fiance's/girlfriends- get's to be a real eye opener); not exactly the type to hang out or be "on the scene" (I admit, I'm very much a homebody); and lately I really feel my family seems to drift apart with each passing year. Although these things sadden me each day; I still know that I am blessed!

With that being said: I have many things that I am proud of about my life and that I am excited to share! I was the first of my immediate family to graduate college- yayyyy me!! lol. I also have a great job with great people that I enjoy! I enjoy being with friends doing whatever- everything from shopping and dining to chillin' out/painting nails/doing each other's hair/etc. I love time with family and although we don't live around the corner from each other- I travel ALOT to see them when I can.

I know I tend to overthink alot However, my simplicity and kind heart make me who I am. I love fashion!! In fact, most of my bad days end in bags and bags of unnecessary  shopping escapades that I regret the next day 90% of the time. I admit, this is my guilty pleasure :/

Stay tuned for interesting topics, fun fashion, and more!
