Kris Carr

Wooah it has been a long time since posting! I had even forgotten my blogger password.

For a while now I have been fascinated by Kris Carr. It was many months ago that I stumbled across her Crazy Sexy Cancer books on amazon and yet just added them to my wishlist not actually purchasing them. Finally this year I got around to getting Crazy Sexy Diet. Now, I'll be honest once again and say that I still haven't read the entire book. It's not just a recipe or diet book, but a book that is packed full of information and lifestyle changes that Kris herself uses to keep herself healthy, and as someone diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2003 (that's 8 years ago!) that's some super life-saving changes!

I find Kris inspirational and amazing through her diagnosis she took her health into her own hands and triumphed. But she hasn't stopped there, everything that she has learnt she has shared with us all and we can find it on her website: http://crazysexylife.com/. Along with many guest bloggers the site is not solely about surviving cancer or eating well, she wants us all to be wellness warriors taking our lives into our own hands and triumphing at all we do. Please check out the website and especially watch her vlogs or try joining the forum where the first rule of the 'town' is:

"1. Practice KINDNESS; speak with care, compassion, and consideration. Negativity will not be tolerated."

 Sounds good to me!

Boo

Just another cute page to look at.. Boo is a dog on facebook take a look..

Hope you aren't too stressed over Christmas, I was quite happy to hear the christmas songs on the radio last week, now though they are getting a bit repetitive! My advice is either make your own playlist of christmas songs you don't mind listening to or just listen to your favourite music with no anti-christmas guilt, there's still christmas cookies, movies and mulled varities of alcohol to enjoy :)

Miranda Hart

I have a little obsession with Miranda Hart, I love her. Her tv series Miranda makes me laugh so much and it's such a nice programme :)
Here is an article written about her..

http://gu.com/p/2yg27 

I think the appeal is as she says because "'I'm an idiot, aren't we all a bit like this, laugh at me.'"She makes mistakes we all fear of doing yet she stays happy.

"While the character is awkward, she is made admirable, even heroic, by her essential happiness. Miranda is one of the few single women in pop culture ever to truly enjoy their own company, constantly breaking into song while alone in her flat, or drawing faces on items of fruit."

Blog Action Day and Why You Shouldn't Use Water Bottles!

So it's Blog Action Day and I should be writing a post about water, but Blogger is annoying me quite a lot! So don't use water bottles, kids. A third of the water is just from the tap anyway. And did you know that people in the US drink an average of 200 bottles of water per person each year, meaning over 17 million barrels of oil are needed to manufacture those water bottles, 86 percent of which will never be recycled. Check out this post.
