Wellness

Ever since I've been in college I have seen a decline in my health. I have been involve in sports since I was in kindergarten, this was my first year no doing anything and you can tell. My body is not as toned as it used to be. This summer I plan to get back to my roots. I will be definitely be exercising regularly and eating much healthier since I'm not as active. I've been reading blogs and websites such as Livestrong and BodyRockTV to get inspiration. I can't lie, I am a little obsessed with this but it's just something that happens whenever I find something new. I obsess over everything. As far as food, I plan to eat a lot of salads; fruits and vegetables, poultry and fish and try to stay away from eating too many carbs. I also plan to take more vitamins, especially for my hair, lol. As crazy as it seems, I think I'm losing my hair.
This "wellness" isn't only for my body, it's for my mind and spirit also. I've decided to start writing again, which will be easy since I won't have a lot of work to do. I also have a summer book list to read. This summer will be all about bettering myself.

Flâneur

One day while I was watching The Hills, Kelly Cutrone described Stephanie Pratt with the phrase Flâneur, to walk around aimlessly. I feel like that is exactly what I am experiencing. I am currently enrolled at the University of Maryland, College Park but I feel like this is not the place for me. Yes, it is a good school but at the same time, I do not feel like I will be prepared for the career goals that I have. For the longest time, my dream has be to do Fashion PR and possibly styling. I would kill to work at People's Revolution but I dont have faith that can happen going to UMD. For one, I'm not even in New York and while DC is a great city, there just is not anything here for me right now. Idk what will happen, I am just going to keep working hard and hopefully something good will come out of all of this. I have faith it will. Someone once told me that they believe I will be famous. My dream isn't even to be famous, but I understand what he was saying and let's just hope I make it. Essentially, I just want to be happy doing something that I love for the rest of my life. I firmly believe tat happiness is the key to life a I refuse to sacrifice my happiness for a job I do not want.

who are you?

i am roxene edwards. this blog will be specifically for personal writing and photos; more of a journal than my tumblr. if facebook is my way to keep in touch with friends and twitter is my convenient little notebook and tumblr is my inspiration/"post pictures of things i like" blog then this is my sweet escape. This is solely me, everything will be owned by me on this blog. Everything is real and raw.
