Garden of Life
A garden, what does it represent? In my opinion, there are three main components to having a successful garden. Food, water and sunlight. If you give these three things to your garden, it will bloom and grow to it's fullest potential. Each of us have our own garden.. it's inside of us, always. In order for us to be at our best, we've gotta water the garden, give it food, and make sure it gets sunlight to grow. If we don't, our garden starts to wilt, and deteriorate. ~~~~~
I want to get back to basics. I never thought I'd be making a tumblr, until a friend of mine started one and then I got inspired. In this blog, I hope to express my thoughts about healthy eating and help YOU get back to basics.
Plus just some of my random thoughts/feelings/interests are here too. Enjoy!

Subway is the single largest chain restaurant…
Disturbing stuff…

Something to think about… but really, there shouldn’t be much to think about. Drinking water is obviously the better choice. I wouldn’t want a liquid that powerful going through my body… scary stuff!
