Those school days . . .

Hey everyone! It's Aya~ I'm going to school again today (see a trend?) and pretty much the rest of the weekend. But thought since I have a bit of time now, why not hit up the bloggy?


So I think y'all are wondering about the detox and how it went. Well, here's a report sans any pictures. Nothing significantly happened that should have been snapped.


I had 3 square meals of plain yogurt and banana, followed with lots of water, tea, and vitamins.

It was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be. The plain yogurt and banana held me over really well, and every other time, I just drank water. It may also have been easier because I just sewed all day long and thus, didn't have time to really think about food.

However, I caved in at the last hour of the day to some flavored yogurt. It was due to the fact that I actually have the longest school day on Tuesday and I really needed some of that sugar. Also because at one point going home, I was starting to feel nauseous. I don't get motion sick but once I realize we're actually moving in a rickety way on any transportation device, I can't stop thinking about it. So that happened on the subway, and that plus the lack of food and maybe lack of sleep from previous days made me feel sick.

Overall, not much change. The day afterward, I ate like I normally do. It was easy to do so because it was only a 24 hour cleanse. I did notice that my mouth didn't feel as dry as it normally did because I kept myself hydrated the whole time. I also found myself savoring each bite of my food more, because that's what I did during detox.

I would say results vary on people, but if you do plan to detox, don't do it on a day you plan to work for long hours or go to school. Best on lazy days. I also realized it's ideal if you aren't in any stress or have sleep deprivation as this probably helped me feel nauseous.


Well, there's the report on that. I hope it helped anyone who was thinking of also doing the detox (or avoiding it). I think in conclusion, I will go by the old standby of healthy eating and exercise instead of doing periodic cleanses, but since it didn't have much of an effect on me, I may do it again in different circumstances (i.e. not during school)

In other news, I totally banged out a blazer.

It's not necessarily made for me since everyone had to use the same pattern, but I think I did a good job choosing the fabric and buttons. It's fully lined and padded at the shoulders! Victory! I will show better pictures once it's back in my possession . . .

I also visited the knitting lab. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. See for yourself . . .

It was right after a textiles class and my teacher decided to give us some swatches downstairs in this lab. Needless to say, I whipped out my camera and took pictures.
I'm seriously wanting to live there so I can knit myself a new wardrobe for fall. Or crochet. And THAT LADDER. Best kind of ladder in the world. One day I will work in a bookstore with that kind of ladder !

Recent lunch!

Salad at Guy and Gallard. This place is actually great for salads because they don't get too expensive (unless you get a bunch of things in it).

Now I should be getting off to eat some lunch. But the semester is almost ending! One more week of torture and sleepless nights left! Yes! So see you guys later~
