Invent The New You

So the other day I was browsing the web. I stumbled upon a pretty good website.

http://www.livingorsurviving.com/

If you submit your email address, they will send you a free 59 page ebook on giving your life a makeover. I just started looking at it and I think the book is really helpful on just organizing your goals. The website also has some good articles on improving the quality of your life in a variety of different areas.

So, check it out!

Winter Blues And Fun Times

How do you fight off the winter blues??

As someone who feels like they have seasonal depression, my happiness in the winter time comes from keeping myself busy. If I stay on top of things and keep my mind busy instead of bored, I find that the seasonal depression isnt quite as bad.

What is your favorite winter time activity??

For me, I dont necessarily have a favorite, but I have a list of things that I would like to do once this season:

• play broom ball
• go snow tubing
• drink some home made hot cocoa

Tomorrow, I am going to a "Winter Blues" bingo party...basically blues music and bingo with prizes.....should be fun :)

Look Out!

Hey! So driving to work today, I think I found my positive attitude again!

I was kinda just letting my mind wander while listening to some good music and manuevering through the beginning of rush hour traffic. I started making a list of things that I am thankful for. So for Thanksgiving, I have decided that I will make a list of things I am thankful for in my life. Look out for that post -> COMING NEXT WEEK <3

So, it is officially winter here in Minnesota. Snow storm over the weekend led to a lot of people re-learning how to drive. Thankfully when I had to venture out, I did not skid, slip, or slide. I made it to my destination safely! Thats one of my main concerns when driving in the winter. Just keep in mind, if the roads are bad, go slow and dont slam on your brakes! Or just stay in and drink some hot cocoa while reading a good blog :)

Anyways, I have decided to do some major changes here with this blog as well as my others. The changes for this blog include layout and design, frequency of posts, and also I would really like to find some people to contribute to the content! So send me some feedback if you like the changes!

not everyone is perfect (hey thats actually a pretty positive statement)

i really need some positivity in my life right now...i just got back from vegas last night and pretty much just lounged all day long - i am so exhausted from the trip....but anyways, i go back to work tomorrow and i am dreading it immensely...actually my job is fun and i love it, i dont mind going back to it....its my apprenticeship which is unpaid that i do not want to go back to...

i dont really have much to say right now....feeling kinda blank at the moment....but after i get some rest...i will write some more with that positive outlook again!

The Wedding Can Couple

This couple is amazing! Not only are they creatively coming up with funds to pay for their wedding, but they are going green and helping are Earth along the way.

Pete and Andrea have recycled 400,00 cans in the Spokane, Washington area. They started the blog weddingcans.com to show the progress. Many cans have been donated to them, and they are still accepting donations. All the donations they receive now will go to their honeymoon fund (40% of donations) and to charity(60% of donations). Their wedding was on Saturday July 31st, 2010.

Congratulations to both Pete and Andrea! I wish you both the best of luck! Thanks for the inspiration!! Keep making the world a beautiful place for us all!!

Hey followers!

I am so busy trying to get stuff organized. I am trying to live a little bit greener life. I am preparing to have a garage sale and I am also starting to recycle my soda cans. I also buy a lot of items from the thrift store (good deals & less damaging effects on the environment by creating more products). Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!! I love it.

Anyhow, with that being said, I am also busy trying to find a place to live and trying to find a better job and preparing to go back to school...I need your help to keep this blog up! I am looking for contributors for this blog. If you have an optimistic outlook on life and believe you can find a positive in every situation and want to write about it, email me for more information. cassandravacha515@gmail.com please put typically positive as the subject.

Tiki Treasures

Hello, Hello, Hello, to all of my awesome readers out there in the blogging world!!

Sorry it has been a long while since the last time I posted anything. I have been so busy working both of my jobs, I barely have time for myself these days!! Speaking of my jobs, I actually picked up more hours at my one job. I work for the local Census Bureau as a Crew Leader Assistant. Fun job, much of which is classified as confidential. My other job is with the local Lions Club. I am a Bar Bingo Seller and just recently also became a Pulltab Seller as well. Tonight is actually my first night selling pulltabs by myself. It is pretty easy and fun. The bar I am actually selling in tonight is a new bar that just opened up last week. It is a Caribbean inspired restaurant. It is called Mango Tango, island restaurant and tiki bar. It is a pretty fun place, with reggae music playing all night. I most definately have to say I love the atmosphere because it just reminds me of being on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world!!

Anyways, just the other day I got a new laptop. So, I figure that since I will be bored at work during slow times at least twice a week, I should be able to update this blog at least once a week!

Hope everyone has a fabulous day.

Peace and Love!!
