Under the Influence: Sunday's Are For Dreaming

Relax folks, it's Sunday. The day of rest. Time to Reboot.
Sunday mornings are my favourite time of the week.

I've had a busy week and have been patiently awaiting the weekend to sit still with my thoughts and do the old catch up on stuff routine. Saturday was taken up by an impromptu shopping trip. 5 hrs and several bags full of goodies later and the day escaped me. Oops. At least the shopping expedition was a great success.

Treated myself to some new work attire and a new journal for 2013. Today I shall christen it with my first entry this year. Marking the first crisp sheet of a new journal is one of my favourite pastimes. Nerd alert. First entry should cover off my plans and dreams for this year.

Didn't have time to work out all week so I was feeling pretty tired. All it took was one heavy yoga sesh on Saturday to make me feel alive again. I'm waiting patiently for my new yoga mat to arrive in the mail.

Blue Skies

This week at work I took every opportunity to escape outside for lunch to soak up some sunshine. The weather has been darling so it hasn't been hard. I'm so thankful for the beautiful park opposite my work.

Revitalise Tea

My sleep routine has been out of whack following many late nights and late mornings over the Christmas break. As a result, I hit the dreaded 3pm slump most days this week. Rather than reach for more coffee (which I've resolved to limit to one hit a day as you may know from my Life Habits 2013 post), I've been relying on the Revitalise tea from Pukka to get me through. Cinnamon is kind of my go to spice so this blend is right up my alley.

"Full of good intentions but can sometimes lack motivation." Haha, yep...

My new work cup. Matching :D

Weekend Eats

Scrambled eggs with mushrooms, red onion and garlic fried in organic butter with some fresh herbs from the garden. Holy eff.

Breakfast this morning: I have sorely missed avocado this week as last week's supply we bought from the markets turned rotten with the heat wave. We're back. Mum also bought some amazing brie.

Followed by coffee and banana pieces topped with ABC butter and walnuts - a lil' invention of mine. Sweet ending to a lazy breakfast.
