    The main thing is making sure I get at least 8 hours of sleep a night no matter what!

    My husband and I are vegan so we are helping lots of animals but there's still entirely too much packaging that is used for many products we buy that isn't recyclable in our city. We could do more by buying products with less or no packaging and encouraging companies to be more creative and responsible with their packaging methods.

    I see so many things I would never see from my car such as cool architectural details, abandoned buildings with amazing graffiti, and new little shops/restaurants. I also see a lot of homeless people of all ages, races, and genders and wonder how we can do better to help them.
