i’m leaving for france tomorrow for six weeks and i barely have anything packed.  why is it that whenever i travel i always want to bring outfits i never even wear “just in case”?  i don’t need 600+ pairs of socks if i can do laundry. 

someone please help…i skipped school the day we went over “packing light.” ;/

 i kind of want to make a list of foods that really scare or trigger me so i can work on dealing with them. 

• unhealthy breakfast foods: pancakes, waffles, bacon, oatmeal with sugar or cream in it, crepes, really sugary cereal. whenever i start the day off feeling unhealthy, i just want to stop trying for the rest of the day. i’ll eat bad and beat myself up ALL DAY. 
• croissants, french bread
• most pastries 
• hard cheese
• milkshakes
• churros
• zebra cakes (holy god, who can seriously eat just one of these?)
• anything containing peanut butter AND chocolate
• Japanese candies/ desserts
• having a sweet food/ dessert at any time during the day OTHER than after dinner 
• non-sugar free gum
• sugary drinks (juice, soda, teas, etc.)
• alcohol 
• not technically a food item but cough drops or sugary cough syrup
• honey
• cookies or cake of any kind. 
• italian ice 
• whipped cream
• cream-based soups
• butter
• cream cheese
• sour cream
• mayonnaise 
• ketchup

wow. nevermind i need to stop. this is kind of depressing and i realize i could probably keep going and going. :(

letsdothatnakeddance:

So much to do, so little time and all I want to do is nap.

no surprise. i am an absolute HORRIBLE flyer.

not only does it scare the shit out of me, but i am constantly restless and can never calm down or get comfortable. since my flight to Lisbon is a red-eye flight, i was wondering if anyone knew of a good or reliable way to calm down and PREFERABLY fall asleep (i’ve NEVER, EVER been able to sleep on a plane before). i don’t want to sit on a plane for 7 hours annoying the person next to me or staring at the personal tv in horror. i want to feel somewhat rested since if i don’t sleep, it’ll make me feel even more jet lagged. 

i’m open to:

• sleep aids (except anything needed by prescription OR DRAMAMINE because it doesn’t work for me. it just makes me ill)
• relaxation techniques
• anything, really. 

just please help!

• work out (20 mins hula-hoop with arm workout, 10 mins jump rope, “jump of the jiggle” chart)
• dye hair
• go to the mall to convert some money into euros…
• buy a neck pillow for the plane
• check my email obsessively to see if my host mom answered me
• go to target 
• make a new “abroad” tumblr
• read Moliere
• buy watercolors/ watercolor notebook and markets for my trip
