I suck at living a full life *and* blogging. I’ve been busy, have changed up my diet (vegan to a week long juice cleanse to raw vegan to about 90% raw vegan).

I’ve been enjoying the sun, drinking lots of smoothies, playing soccer, cycling, running. I ran 16km yesterday. I have so much to thank my legs for :)

I’m moving across the country in 3 weeks! Then moving back to the west 2 months later because I found a really special guy. Not just because of him. Not even because of him. I’ve been offered a great job opportunity. The guy (who happens to live in the city I’m moving to for work) is just a huge bonus, though I’m just as excited about him as the job.

He is pretty much perfect. He is an incredible athlete (competes internationally and scores lots of -closer to home- firsts!), intelligent, a kind & thoughtful person, successful, funny, and he is smoking hot! I sometimes stop and wonder why he is so into me, but I guess I’m pretty cool too :)

I liked him (a lot) right away. He told me that he’s been trying to not fall for me (because of the distance) but he couldn’t help himself. We’ve been taking things slow, which is good, but this is the first time I’ve felt like I’m truly over my Australian ex.

I’m so happy and healthy and looking forward to finishing my job in 3 weeks, moving to the coast (hello beaches), quality family time, enjoying real nature (so long city), and then coming back to start something fresh and exciting in a brand new city with an incredible guy. Where did he even come from?!

any raw vegans on instagram?

It’s personal but my Instagram is haykoolbeans!

I’m not completely raw but mine is vegan_emily :)

I’m mostly raw. My Instagram is “peaceship”.

with the guy I played racquetball with on thursday.

we went for a 10km run and chatted a lot along the way. I like him, but I’m not sure if I like-like him. you know?

I moved into a place without one, in a heroic attempt to save the planet. I used to waste a lot of water due to my bathing habits.

I would soak in the tub every night. with a book. with music. with snacks. with a glass of wine. with a boy. with a friend (clothed in swimsuits). with bubble bath. with a magnifying mirror and tweezers. with a bath pillow. with candles. and sometimes with nothing but my thoughts and the wisps of steam rising from the water.

I am sure that I’ve made a small impact on the earth by choosing to live without a tub, and taking (mostly) quick efficient showers, but right now I just want gather some candles, strike a match, turn out the lights, slowly pour lavender bubble bath under the rushing tap, and lower myself into hot fragrant water, with suds up to my chin. sigh.

I have a lot to accomplish today, but I’d rather just go back to bed, so I’m sitting here in front of my computer, spending my “getting ready” time drinking coffee and eating fruit. I’ll do this until 5 minutes before I have to run out the door. then I’ll jump up in a panic, tie my hair back, grab my toothbrush, pull on some leggings & a t-shirt while brushing my teeth, rinse & spit, and run out the door.

just kidding. I always dress like a bro (or at least comfortable and activity-appropriate) when I’m playing sports.

tonight, I’m wearing an ex-boyfriend’s baggy grey volcom t-shirt and pink/purple nike shorts.

he texted to ask when I was available and then booked a court. I’m so pumped!
