How to get free materials for your compost pile

Yeah, I love how my new way of eating is changing me.  I love how my skin is much more clearer and I am more energize.


Simply eating salad daily and drinking plenty of water.
Learning to grow my own veggie cause I want to go organic.  One day I would love to have atleast 70% of my fruits and veggies from my very own garden.

and speaking of garden.
The city came to our house to let us know that they will be trimming our trees away from the power lines.  As I watched them destroyed my two trees I couldn't help to wonder what would they do with all of these fallen branches that is now all over my front yard.  
Another truck came after the tree cutter and began to mulch.  I approached one of the men and asked if I could have some of the mulch.  Without hesitation, they asked where did I want it dumped.

I just chose a corner and now I have so much fuel for next year compost.

Salad Diet

I don't even know if you can call it a diet.  I just decided one day about a month ago, that I was going to start eating healthy.  For many years now, I thought my diet wasn't so bad, and I still think it is not.  I don't eat a lot of meat.  But I will eat a hamburger and love starchy food.

So I am embarking on this eating salads daily.  At first I would go to Wendy's or Saxby's and order their salad and felt satisfied.  But I knew that this was not gonna be good for my wallet and I don't go out everyday.  So I had to find a solution and I did.

Saxby's House Salad

The Salad that started my diet
Wendy's Asiago Salad, it is sooo goood.



My solution is mason jar salad.  and it is so affordable to me.  I thought eating healthy would be expensive, lies!!! It is very affordable to eat healthy.  For less than 10 bucks I can get about 5 to 6 serving of salad by implementing the mason jar salad technique.

and if you don't have mason jars, use old spaghetti jars like I did.  I actually save glass jars.

Here as you can see, I added seeded grapes and boiled egg.  It is a meal.

One thing I am loving about my diet is, I didn't think I could stay away from my Pepsi but I haven't had Pepsi in a month.  and that deserves a standing ovation.  I do crave sweets and I don't let it win, instead I eat fruits which satisfies my sweet tooth craving. 

I only lost 10lbs this month.  But this month, I am adding exercise to my diet and hopefully I will quickly shed some lbs off.

even my coffee cup got smaller.

I really love this new way of eating.  I feel good about it.  I have more energy.  My stomach is not bulging as much.  I shit don't smell as bad.  I sleep better.  My breath smells better.  
I just feel better.

I can't wait till I take it to the next level by planing my own organic salad mix.

Old world lighting

I do have a thing for old world technology.

They were scatted all over the house.  I decided to clean them today and have them ready just in case this thunder storm will have us in the dark.
Oil Lanterns are inexpensive.  Bought these at Walmart for $6 - $10 bucks 
and I have a couple of tea light candle holders.
