Creating a *healthy* morning and night routine for summer

I am not a morning person, I'm the type of person who would rather sleep in till 10am than get up at 6am, but I've decided I need to create a morning routine for myself for the summer period before I go away for Uni (I'll probably try and adapt it for when I'm there though, can't be creating healthy habits and breaking them when I move out). I also need to create a nighttime routine as well because I get so lazy in the evenings and find I don't really get much done when I should. School finishes at 3.00pm and I work 3 days a week so my routines will be subject to my none work days so that I'm not overworking myself because that's not *healthy*. I can also be very lazy unmotivated so I am going to try and push myself to make sure these routines get fulfilled on the days I set them!

☼ Morning Routine for Summer:

- Wake/get up at 6.30am

- Go to the beach for a run (haha this ones funny because I am not a runner and I do not run for fun but kinda keen to start so we'll see how long that one lasts)

- Have a shower and make a healthy breakfast

- Go to school and try and do *well*


☽ Nighttime Routine for Summer:

- Have down time for an hour

- Do at least a couple of hours of school work

- dinner time!

- 10 - 15min of cleaning my room!

- 15min of yoga! (I've wanted to start yoga for a while but I never seem to have the motivation so come spring Imma get into it). 

- try and be in bed and reading by at least 10pm!

When summer rolls round I want to try and get these routines underway so I can make the most of summer, which will be easier when school is overrrrrr. I struggle to hold myself accountable so I have good ideas like this and then when it comes round to actually exercising them, I convince myself I don't need too. I do want to make Sunday my day off day for like everything because I like having at least one chill day where I don't have to work or push myself or do anything that requires leaving the house unless I choose too. Sundays are also just really nice days to sleep in and spend with my family. 

I work all afternoon on Mondays and Tuesdays and then early Saturday Morning so those days are off for my fun 7:00am beach run because I don't want to *overwork* myself.  That leaves Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to complete have fun with these routines! I might eventually make a routine for my work days but knowing how tired I feel after long days, it might be harder to hold myself accountable ✌😶

Wish me luck for when summer rolls round gang✌

Recently my mum and I participated in the Project Jonah Marine Mammal Medic Course. Project Jonah is a registered charity that works with New Zealanders to protect and respect our marine mammals. They run solely on the help of their volunteers, whether they're helping with a stranding or simply just picking up rubbish on the beach. Their work can fall into three categories.  Rescue -  We deliver essential first aid to stranded or injured animals via our nationwide network of trained and passionate Marine Mammal Medics.

Time for a rename! and stuff (:

 I originally started this blog as A Little House Plant, because plants sat and saw everything, so the blog was a place for everything. The Instagram page went from a chaotic blog repost to a coherent bookstagram and I couldn't be happier! I've really enjoyed posting throughout the 2021 period however I feel it's time for a change. So I've updated my name to The Lost Love Library! I like the ring it has (vaguely poetic) and I have a completely new theme for my Instagram (under the same name as this blog) coming as soon as I finish my 2021 posts! Keep any eye out for posts coming soon! Aroha nui xo

In a bowl, beat together vegan butter, the two types of sugar and the vanilla till creamed. Add the flax egg and salt and beat well.  Next add the flour and baking soda and mix until a soft dough forms.  Stir through your chocolate chunks.  Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes (this is not necessary but helps make the cookies chewier) Scoop about 1 Tbs of the dough and roll it into a ball, place it on a lined cookie sheet and flatten well with your hands (they spread a bit not a huge amount) Repeat until all of the dough is used...
