And I’ve been contributing to the suicide of books lately. Way too much to admit.
I’ve found since starting my new job I turn my brain off on the train ride home and have a hard time turning it back on. I have a huge tendency to zone out and watch episodes of those soul-crushing Kardashian reality shows while I *attempt* to clean the house.
So I’m making some changes and doing a bit of a total life detox for the next 2 weeks. I’m hoping to tame my addiction to sugar (it’s the end of day 2 as I write this and it is HARD!) as well as my addiction to the internet and American television on the internet. Doesn’t mean I won’t still be baking some sweet stuff, just means for two weeks I won’t be inhaling any of it!
And for those two weeks, I’m going to limit myself to only an hour of computer a day when I get home from work. I am gonna get productive.
So instead of zoning out and eating junk, I’ve got big plans. The list of craftiness I’ve been planning on doing is so long and I’m heading out to my studio to tackle some of it. Very excited, Etsy shop, here I come!
What about you guys, do you ever feel the need to reign in your life a little? Spending, watching, eating? I’d love to hear I’m not the only one who can lose direction every once in a while!

Hi Em! Reading your blog is my way to relax after a hard weekend at work! I’m sitting here with a cup of tea, thinking about all the interesting things you are doing.
I, too, made a resolution to read more books this year. It isn’t the TV that is distracting me, it’s just life in general. The days get so busy, and I feel like reading goes out the window first.
The blog looks great!! 🙂 Em
Ah thanks Em! Im’ so glad you like it! Catch up soon??
Great addict on this website, quite a few your blogposts have seriously helped me out. Looking towards updates!
Funny that we both did the same thing despite the ocean between us! I’m now onto week 2 and the sugar thing is getting easier…The post-work napping habit, not so much…
it’s because we are the same person 🙂
Ah, but have you saved your newly energized brain from Jersey Shore damage. That would be the best outcome of all.
I’m pretty sure jersey shore damage is irreversible! just gotta balance it out with more good stuff in there!
Hahah, love this post – myself and my sister (a v.busy med student) do exactly the same thing! My boyf has a theory that the smarter a girl is, the more rubbish she watches on TV, not sure how true it is, but I know I’ve lost many a perfectly good hour to the Kardashian madness!
Ha I think your boyfriend is a very smart dude! um does your tv detox ever work tho? this one definitely didn’t!!
