i hate chocolate

i hate all things sweet. like literally hate. looking at that statement you might go wow this girl is crazy! but i have my reasons. these foods (such as cake, brownies, ice cream, cookies, chocolate, pie, etc) are just not worth eating to me because i get so sick. i just have a problem of forgetting this... i honestly don't like the taste of most of those things since last year but i still get a sweet tooth sometimes. here's what happens. i eat something with sugar in it and then within 5 to 10 minutes i get amazingly sick. my stomach hurts so bad and my body gets burning hot. this can last anywhere from a half an hour to around 3 hours. it's not a consistent thing where i will get sick every single time i eat something sweet but it's over half the time. once it hits, i remember my hatred and curse myself for being so dumb yet again haha. reason why i'm writing about this? i woke up from my 3 hour sunday nap craving brownies. i made some and had some rocky road ice cream with it too. within minutes i was regretting it. i am almost feeling normal again but it's been about an hour. i just want to eat some steamed spinach now... i need to remember NOT to eat stuff like this because it really is never worth it because of how crazy sick i get. it does make me curious as to why this happens cause i know it hasn't always been like this, just like the last year. i'm really tempted to go and try to get it figured out but i have no idea where i'd even start. i just need to not forget so i don't have to go through feeling so sick.

fall must be in the air

it is surprisingly chilly today in St George. who would have thought?! i get to wear a cardigan with my shorts! and it's my cute one that i fixed with the heart patches on the elbows :) today i just felt like wearing warm cozy clothes and breaking out all my hats! it makes me unbelievably happy. i love the season of fall but i really don't think i will get a true fall here. their "winter" will be my typical fall temperatures so i'm just hopeful for that. on pintrest, i've been OBSESSED with all foods including some sort of pumpkin. pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin fluff dip... it all sounds beyond amazing to me right now! i plan on testing them for sure but i say that always so i guess we'll see.
i have worked so much this week already. i work both at life is good and urban couture basically everyday all day. it's slightly exhausting haha but the pay check will be sooo worth it! anyways i should probably start to close. wish me luck with the rest of my week!! 

p.s. i decided to include a couple of the recipes i've found in case anyone else is craving pumpkin as much as me
cinnamon sugar pumpkin pull apart bread
pumpkin fluff dip
pumpkin muffins
pumkpin pancakes

birthday goals for next year!

1. NO soda. absolutely none.
2. run a 5k sometime this year
3. do something every month that i have always wanted to
4. never forget to be adventurous and do anything and everything
5. keep it simple

so idk if anyone noticed but my blogs photos are gone. which is nice and extremely irritating! i think i know what happened (it got connected somewhat to my google+) so i'm just going to have to go through and redo all of them... yay internet.
