Last year’s Wellness Journal

This is my wellness journal from health class last year:

Favorite Breakfast food

I have many favorite breakfast foods. Some might be considered out of the ordinary like this: I love smoked salmon on an onion bagel with chive cream cheese. And good coffee of course. What are some of your favorites?

do you know your interior design style?

Yes. This post seems out of place among the usual fare of on-the-edge science, books, knives, and living green. But I stumbled across this in the tag surfer and got interested. You take a quiz and it tells you what style you like best. I have 3. Zen Style Goodbye clutter, hello clean! For the [...]
