writing, reading, art, music, going good to shows, hanging out with friends. I love learning about health, especially holistic nutrition. I am happiest when I am making or eating some amazing, delicious, raw/vegan food. I love puppies more than is necessary for a grown woman...i have a sweet little English Bulldog of my own named Pork Chop. I love shopping, walking in the open air, sleeping in a cozy bed, sweets, and pandas.
