I have recently been trying something new with my diet and food: Gluten-free.
A little about my diet would be that I don't follow a diet.
I've never been on a diet.
I don't really do diets.
More after the jump....
I've been looking for the perfect floral blazer and I think F21 is going to take the cake with this one. At $35, it doesn't break the bank, and since it's such a trendy piece, I won't mind retiring it once it runs it's course.
I found them! I bought them!
After over a month of debating over 'the perfect' nude strappy sandal, I finally decided on these Zara buckle heels, almost immediately when I saw them. They are the perfect heel height--not too high, but high enough to make your legs look good--and possess a thick ankle strap (my fave!) and a skinny strap across the toes. The clincher was the price as they were a solid $40 cheaper than most styles I saw. They also come in black & red.
I'm wearing them today and love them so much! They are fine to walk in and definitely true to size (I ordered a 41, which is a US 10, as per the box) and I know I'm going to get my money's worth. Now, to find the perfect black pair (at a reasonable price).
I have never been the sort of person that has the urge to have children. I've never gotten that feeling of, 'I can't wait to have a baby!' or the like. You know some people just have it, and some don't? I don't.
My sister is currently pregnant and she's always been one of those women that wants to have children. Since she was little I can remember her saying she wanted to be a young mom and to have kids. I, however, was never sure if I wanted children...and still don't. Sort of.
As the years have passed and I've gotten older, I kind of thought that feeling would come, that I would get the urge or something, but despite being 29, there is still none of that.
That said, you know what they say, typically one doesn't regret having the baby even if they never had the urge, your life is forever changed and blessed and wonderful (in between those trying times with zero sleep and spit-up all over your not-so-clean clothes) and the couple ends up happy they went through with it. I also think it would be somewhat of a lonely life, later down the line, when you're older and all your friends have aging children and you are alone with your spouse for holidays and special times throughout the year. Yes, you can always share that with other families, but your family will be just two (assuming you spend your life with someone).
All that said, I had a conversation with my mom the other day and she and my dad had been discussing whether or not they thought I would have kids. My mom was unsure, but my dad said he did not think I would, and in turn I felt...insulted! (?) I'm not sure why, but I felt like jumping up and being all, 'Nooooo! I will have children!' So funny considering how I'm distinctly perched up on that fence.
What about you; assuming you don't have kids (or pre-children), do/did you want them?
