☺ Inspirational: Motivational Mondays!☺


Perhaps I need to change this to "Motivational Tuesday" hmm? Well, a day late is better than nothing ;) I promise to be more on the ball of things from now on. I just had an insanely epic weekend that I can't wait to share with you all which is why I am late to post. But in the mean time... Motivation for the week!!! :)     

☺ Be Comfortable being By Yourself! An experience this weekend really pushed me to embrace this. At first I was a bit scared and uncomfortable but after I eased up and allowed myself to just "Be" I really enjoyed my quality time alone. It's fun to go on adventures and just be by yourself sometimes. Start being comfortable with it!    
☺ Make Things Happen!!! If you want something to happen then make it happen! Manifest all of your desires and believe they will happen with all your heart and they will! Trust me when I say it works! I will share my story with you this week!  
☺ Love Your Body! Take a moment to admire and love every inch of your beautiful body! There is likely not a person living in this society that isn't self-conscious about Something! Stop! Everyone is beautiful and we shouldn't allow society to drown out that love with their self-loathing advertising. Love your body! You are beautiful!!      
☺ Talk to Strangers! It's always fun meeting new people and they can really surprise you! First impressions are not always the best, give people a chance and actually talk to them!  
☺ Influence Your Self! Meaning don't let others be so influential... unless it's something super positive and good for you of course! ;) It's too easy to say "I'm not going to drink" (or anything else) and then be surrounded by others who are and get pulled into it. You choose at the end of the day and you should stick to what you truly want to do and not what is easy to get sucked into. They are not the bad influence, you are your own influence! Trust yourself!!
☺ Be Extra Giving! It's a wonderful feeling to be giving towards others! Whether it's giving someone a special gift from your heart, doing someone a favor, or any other good deed, do it!      
☺ Accept Kindness! To go with the above, allow yourself to accept other people's kindness! We live in a world where we feel almost ashamed, selfish, or guilty to accept other people's kindness and gifts, as if it's a bad thing to do so and we somehow "owe" them if we do. Accept their kindness and gifts in whatever form they come in. If you are a giving person then why not accept other people's gifts as well? It's a beautiful cycle that we should embrace not be bashful or guilty about! 


Hope my words add some inspiration for your week! 
Most of all remember to have fun!!! Hope you are all having as beautiful a summer as I am! You are all amazing and beautiful!!

☺ Inspirational: Motivational Mondays!☺

Okay, so it's not Monday... I'm a day late *gasp* but better late than never right? Hopefully you had a beautiful Monday and fabulous weekend! Here are some ways to make your week even brighter!    

☺ Make room for everything in your life! No matter what you may think, there is room for all the things that you want to do. You Can make room! Remember, you decide your life. Make room for the things you love to do! Remember, you should be working to have fun, not working to buy things and miss out on life!    
☺ Take Photos of Everything!! I know I've mentioned this one before, but it's so much fun!! There will be those who just don't get it, but taking photos is a lot of fun and why not?!! You get to capture amazing moments, beauty, memories, and all the things around you!      
☺ Have a Crafty day outside...in the sunshine with a friend! It's fun getting creative! 
☺ Hit up your local Thrift Stores! You can discover all sorts of hidden treasures! Or find amazing items to be made into something new!! This is my favorite! There's already sooo much out there, why not get creative and make something new!    
☺ Think for your self... and stop waiting for others to think for you. Make a decision without a second opinion, problem solve something for yourself instead of relying on another. You have a beautiful mind that can think for itself, give yourself the credit and the opportunity to grow! 
☺ Stop consuming Hydrogenated Oils... An amazing friend turned me onto this recently and so now I am committing to it as well. I will write a full article on the topic very soon, in the mean time, in short, they are bad! ;) They act more like a poison in our bodies than anything else! Yikes!     
☺ Have faith that Everything Happens for a Reason. Sometimes it's harder to remember this than others, but have faith and remember that life goes on and possesses so much amazing beauty. Seek out the beauty and happiness and positivity. And remember that Positivity draws more and more positivity to you. :) 


Hope you are all wonderful and vibrant and fabulous!! Tell me how your last week was, some fun adventures you've been up to or something amazing going on in your life right now or planned for the week! :)

☺VeganCraftastic Giveaway!!!☺

Who's ready for another Giveaway?! ;D 

I am very happy to share with you the lovely work of VeganCraftastic! 

VeganCraftastic is a neat Etsy Shop that specializes in handmade accessories for crafters, pins, notebooks, crafting patterns, and more! You can find some super adorable printed pins, keychains, magnets, and zipper pouches, and totes, just to name a few of the amazing work! 

I personally purchased this super cute "Little Pig" Keychain, but I'll tell you it was tough to decide as there were so many I fell in love with! I am extremely happy with my new little Piggie to guard my keys! 


*********************************************

Before we get to the giveaway, here's my interview with the lovely lady behind VeganCraftastic...

Tell us a bit about yourself. I'm Kala and I'm a crafty vegan girl that loves to make stuff, bake, and dream up recipes. 

How did Vegancraftastic come to be? Vegancraftastic started as my blog, I wanted a name that would describe what I did in a fun and quirky way. A few years ago I decided to open an Etsy shop and it just seemed natural to also call it Vegancraftastic. 

Where do you find inspiration? I get inspired from everything, nature, animals, art....inspiration is everywhere!

If you had all the money in the world, what handmade item would you buy? I would probably buy an amazing and intricate handknit shawl, something beautiful and so complicated that I would never want to knit it for myself.

How long have you been Vegan and what made you decide to be Vegan? I've been vegan for 10 years and decided to become vegan for ethical reasons. Once I stopped kidding myself about how cruel and damaging an omnivore lifestyle can be, it was a simple choice to go vegan. 

Random fact? I love uncooked tofu and tempeh and love to gross my husband out by eating it :) 

Best piece of advice for life in general? Never make decisions based on money alone!
