    I don't know if I'm surprised by the impact of our industry. I just have noted that I use so many things (gloves, wipes, etc) that make so much waste, and that's only me! I'm trying to be mindful when I'm cleaning and rooming!

    I almost got a new snowboarding jacket because mine had a small rip. I haven't found a new jacket, but my friend Laura showed me the no-so patches! And they have adorable ones and ones you can trim to the size you need!

    I've been so bad about getting a solid 7-8 hours, but I'm slowly inching my way there. I'm making sure I cut down on tech time an hour before I go to bed. I used to only get 5-6, now I'm getting around 7!

    It is so annoying to eat enough fruits and veggies. I've been eating frozen juice packs to make sure I hit the daily intake.
