September 2017

Posted on by teresamunoz91

A new month a new list of things to do this month! The biggest thing I’m doing this month is the 30 Day Vegan Challenge. I have given up meat and poultry for a month before, during Meatless March, but I’ve never given up dairy products or other animal products. This will be hard for me. Here’s a list of my goals and bucket list for this month!

1. Run 100 miles

I’m training for my first marathon next month so this is definitely possible. In August, I ran about 90 miles. This will be my last full month of training so I hope I can stick to the training plan as much as possible. 

2. 30 Vegan Challenge

No meat, no poultry, no dairy products, no eggs, no seafood, etc. I’ve on!y been vegan for about four days and it’s been really hard for me. I’ve had headaches and have low energy. This is bad for me as a runner. I know I will need to improve the way I eat if I want to last the finish the 30 Day Vegan Challenge.

3. Continue learning German

I know some basic German, but I want to be able to read the German version of the Harry Potter books. One day I would love to visit Germany, it’s one of the top countries on my travel bucket list.

4. Learn to play guitar

My boyfriend said he will teach me to play guitar. I would love to be able to write some songs for him to sing while I accompany him on guitar.

5. Go on a spending fast

Anyone who knows me knows I have the bad habit of buying things I don’t need. This month I want to stop that. My plan is to not buy anything like books, running shoes, makeup, non essential things.

RIP Chester Bennington

Posted on by teresamunoz91

First of all, I want to say what a shock it was to see the news that Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, committed suicide. I first saw it on Instagram but thought it was fake. I went on Facebook and saw that many news stations had posted the story. Normally I do not get emotional over celebrities passing away, it is sad but I don’t know them personally. This death was different.

Although I listen to mostly country music, I grew up listening to music like Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, to name a few. I could relate to the lyrics in Linkin Park’s song. They have helped me through hard times and I know I am not alone. Looking at my Facebook feed, it seems that so many people I know are affected by this loss. It is a heartbreaking loss, not only for the music business, but for the world. Linkin Park’s music helped so many people here around the United States and outside the United States. Linkin Park is one of those bands that is liked by so many people regardless of what genre of music they like. You can listen to hip hop, rock, rap, country, pop etc. and Linkin Park is still one of your favorite bands.

Monday Night Raw June 26 2017

Posted on by teresamunoz91

I took my sister Angelina to Monday Night Raw. This was my fourth time going to Monday Night Raw and the second time this year. Before going there, we went to Little Damage and Bottega Louie for some treats. 

Bottega Louie is one of my favorite places in Downtown L.A.to get treats. My favorite things they have there are macarons and beignets. They have so many treats for anyone who has a sweet tooth. I try to go there every time I go to Downtown L.A. I usually get raspberry macaroons and raspberry filled beignets.

This was my first time going to Little Damage, which was about a block away from Bottega Louie. My younger sister Destiny had told me about it. They have charcoal ice cream and charcoal cones. At first I thought it was strange, then I decided to see why it was so popular. I ended up getting the avocado ice cream, which was vegan. It was so good. I would definitely go again.

Earlier in the day, I took Angelina and my other sister Aleah to meet Bayley. We waited about 3 hours but it was worth it because my sisters were so happy. Barley had a meet and greet in Compton from 11am to 1pm. After what happened last time when I went to see Charlotte but didn’t get to meet her because we got there too late, I made sure we got to Bayley’s signing as early as possible. We got there at 9am,two hours early, and we were surprised to see that there was already at least 50 people in line. I read my book while we waited and they played around. We finally got to meet Bayley around 1230pm or so. Angelina gave her a bracelet and we went back home. 

Angelina didn’t know we were going to Monday Night Raw. I kept Tina surprise until we actually went inside the Staples Center. That’s when I pulled Out or Roman Reigns shirts and told her why we were there. Monday Night Raw was fun. We were upset that we didn’t get to see Charlotte or The New Day, but it was cool seeing Cesaro and Sheamus. Angelina and I were both huge fans of Enzo Amore and Big Cass, so we were upset when they split up. For a moment it looked like they were going to fix things but Big Cass attacked Enzo again! 

It was also cool seeing the women, Sasha Banks is my favorite on Monday Night Raw. We also saw Ema, Bayley, Nia Jax, and Alexa Bliss. We also watched the cruiserweight division. Neville is our favorite. My sister also likes Cedric Alexander.

Next time we go I will take my sisters Angelina and Aleah. They want to dress up. Aleah said she wants to be Bayley and Angelina wants to be Sasha Banks. I might dress up as well, but I haven’t decided which female superstar I should dress as.

7 Things I Love About Summer

Posted on by teresamunoz91

I’m a few weeks late, but summer is here! I admit  that it isn’t my favorite season, because I can’t handle the heat where I live, but there are a few things i like about summer. Here are my top things I love about summer.

1. Going to the beach with my bf and family

Sure the beach is available all year round here in California, but from reason summer time equals beach time here. My favorite beach to visit is Santa Monica but I plan to visit Huntington Beach and Venice Beach this summet.

2. County fairs

I love going to the county fairs. Whether it’s the OC Fair or LA County Fair, I enjoy both. County fairs are known for having crazy good dishes that you can’t try anywhere else, such as fried cheesecake, chocolate covered butter etc. It’s fun for me to try new food each time I go. I also like going on the rides and seeing all the farm animals. I’m a city girl so it isn’t too often I get to see pigs, cows, goats, and all the other animals they have at county fairs. 

3. Swimming

I’m not the best swimmer, but I do know the basics. I love being able to swim a few times a week during the summer. It’s so fun and relaxing. Going to the pool near my house can also be a good morning workout for me.

4. Summer dresses

Normally I live in t-shirts and jeans. But during the summer I love wearing summer, flowery dresses. The One time of the year I dress girly. I have a small collection of cute dresses I save just for the summer. 

5. Summer fruits

I am generally a healthy person and I love eating fruit as a snack instead of candy. During summer, so many of my favorite fruits are in season. I love eating watermelon, nectarines, strawberries, plums, and peaches. Sometimes these fruits are available at other times in the year but they just don’t taste as good. 

6. Travelling

Whether it’s travelling to another city in a road trip with my family or another state with friends, summer is the best time to explore new places. It gives us some change in our everyday routine. Something to look forward to. Something we can talk about for the next few months. 

7. Farmer’s Market

Since I love summer fruit, it shouldn’t be a surprised that I like going to farmer’s markets. You can find one in almost any city, usually Saturday mornings. I like walking around seeing what fruits and other goodies they have. Of course I also love the samples!
