Ravelry.com has lots of great gothy patterns. I don't knit, but I've crocheted my share of skulls.
There is absolutely no time limit for posting. This is great, thanks for sharing.
Don't forget to focus on your breath work.
I'd cram that in my facehole.
Of course! I appreciate you.
Badass tshirt. Do you own that one?
Stolen from my mom's closet (it didn't fit her anyway). But I'd guess Walmart originally.
Thanks for the tip, I will try to avoid that source in the future.
I have two Jean jacket picks on my pinterest inspiration board:
And here are my attempts to emulate them using items I have:
Thanks! I am proud of myself, not for the weight loss which I view as incidental, but because I've made healthy choices. Even the ones that haven't stuck for me yet, it matters that I'm trying.
Some things are harder than others. We all have little things that are important to us. Coffee wasn't bad because I started buying flavored coffees (Aldi ftw!)
Beans, lentils and chickpeas are really hard. They're so good for you and I don't hate them, but I don't love them. I just keep trying new things. Fortunately I compulsively cook new things anyway.
I'm actually afraid of new foods, but I've learned to introduce them by "hiding" them in foods I like. Pizza and Risotto are great for this.
Based on the Pinterest boards I think I'm Mushroom x Mountain x Sun. Which is funny because my quiz answers indicate I should be heavily Stone and Earth but those aren't how I want to dress at all.
Mountain - "The Mountain Style Root is the structured, formal source of inspiration in your style. People with the mountain style root are authoritative, ambitious and confident and dress in a professional, powerful, exaggerated style."
Not me. I'm not even officually employed, and not ambitious in the traditional sense (I describe myself as a type A personality in a type B body). But I like structure, I like being perceived as confident, and it's important to me to combat fat stereotypes by not looking sloppy. I want to look intentional.
Mushroom - "The Mushroom Style Root is the clean, understated source of inspiration in your style. People with the mushroom style root are calm, composed and serene and dress in a classic, timeless, minimal style."
I'm definitely not minimalist, which is why it's great that these style types combine. But I am practical (pockets! Pockets everywhere!) and I like being comfortable. I do have a relaxed energy.
Sun - "The Sun Style Root is the experimental, eclectic source of inspiration in your style. People with the sun style root are creative, eccentric, fun and dress in a bold, playful, artistic style."
This element was never in question for me. I'm drawn to bright colors and patterns. I like to stand out.
Love me some bare arms, but that's about it. Purple and cheetah print aren't in my color palette. I could do red and zebra. Also don't care for the flared part of the top. I used to wear a lot of empire waist to try to hide my belly, but I've since realized it's not because I actually feel good in that style.
As someone said, it looks great on her.
I'm not ready to be in charge of anything, and I don't wear makeup, but I can do some wardrobe related posts.
Heathianity for Christians.
For several years I've been making incremental changes with eating habits. Every year I try to pick something small to change, so I have a hope of making it last. I have successfully;
- stopped adding anything to my coffee
- stopped eating pricessed sugar at breakfast
- switched to mainly whole wheat
- eat fruit daily
- eat at least one vegetable with every dinner.
This year I'm focused on eating something fermented every day. I tried last year, but hadn't succeeded until this year. I'm also still struggling (but trying) with eating more beans, and only planning one meal per week with meat.
It's not the primary goal, and most people wouldn't be content with this rate of progress, but I have lost 40 pounds over 5 years. I don't seem to be in any danger of gaining it back and the changes I've made were incremental enough to become solid lifestyle habits.
That's so stupid. Just gently tip a bucket around the edges of the body, you'll waste a lot less paint.
Dad?
I don't know about the others, but Storygraph does.
