**#1 and #2: The Episode & Update
Episode 27 (**which is 3 minutes and 15 seconds in length**) features an update and a VGTV cast member who has not made an appearance in a while...
**#3: Friday Night's Easygoing Agenda
- Study (Not for long though, since my brain has been overworked this past week)
- Watch a film (Disclosure - good level of suspense, drama, and thrill in this film, so I recommend it)
- Enjoy dessert (Coconut Bliss - a mixture of the Vanilla Island & Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge flavors)
- Practice some gentle yoga (courtesy of my dear friend Polly - please check out her short, effective yoga practices!)
- Read some more of my current "guilty pleasure" book (Gossip Girl, The Carlyles #3: Take a Chance on Me - sorry, but I am in serious need of some mindless reading tonight, haha)
**So tell me: What is on your agenda? Are you taking the time to incorporate some easygoing activities into your life/busy schedule?

hey! Sorry that school is taking up a lot of your life right now! I bet that is supppper stresseful :( But your agenda seems pretty good. I love Polly and her yoga :)
My agenda for the weekend...is pretty easy. Workouts, yoga, (lots...of cleaning) and football. I am not in school right now so it is obviously way easier then your agenda lol. But this agenda may change because i am also getting my h1n1 shot and I'v heard it makes your arm VERY sore afterwards.
Have a great weekend!
Hey girly! Love your baby- what a cutie!! Like the hair cut. Glad you're taking some time for you, you deserve it! School can get so busy! I'm at Body Pump training all weekend- so busy busy! Monday, I am hoping for some more me time ;) Enjoy your whole weekend. I so wish I could come to your party (whenever it will be). JEALOUS!
I can definitely relate to school taking up so much time!
I've been incorporating rest and fun things like shopping and baking.. but schoolwork is still included on my agenda!
you need a good night's sleep, or at least a night off :-) I'm just watching the leno show, eating a bit, and going to bed at 11. I did my fair share of studying I think
LOL i love the dog treats/dog droppings comment lol. Get some nice rest tonight girly!!! Midterms are going to be very stressful so we need to take things one thing at a time. :)
And i love your looking at the cover of the book comment too hahah. I'm trying to watch online lectures right now.. but obviously that's not going very well lol.
Get some rest!!
Hey, this is my first time commenting, but definitely not the first time I've watched VeggieGirl TV. ;) I'm sorry about your brain! You totally deserve a relaxing Friday night. Just chill out and do whatever. Very effective at restoring sanity. :)
Awww Chooey!
Ugh I know what u mean by "work overload" I too have much studying, papers due and tests coming up :P But hopefully the holidays will be here before u know it!
good lick for the next week!
xo
-Laci ;)
Oh my - my agenda is not pretty!
1) Homework for school
2) Homework for work (marking, report cards etc).
3) Study for a test
Blech. Is it Christmas yet?
love the veggie episodes! i am going to do some mindless hiking tomorrow and then baking something out of pumpkin. not sure what but i know it will involve pumpkin! lol.
i hope you enjoyed your night, girl! i stayed in and watched a movie with riley, too :)
and chooey! looking beautiful! aw, i love the close up noshing on her treats.
best of luck with your classes! dont worry, the countdown to winter break is on...! XO
Good luck getting everything done - I know how stressful this time of year is! Perhaps after the movie and some guilty pleasure reading, you'll feel more relaxed!
On my agenda? Today and tomorrow - day trips around Ireland with a friend of mine. Monday - paperpaperpaper. Sigh.
Chooey is too cute for her own good!
Take care! xo
That's a crazy workload you have there. It takes me a week to write one paper, I have no idea how you can handle so many! I kind of miss school now that I graduated and have no idea what I'm going to do. Well, that's not totally true, but I'm currently not doing anything too productive so yea...haha.
I've only read the first three gg books. Have you been watching the show? I don't think it's as good this season. As for some mindless reading, I'm re reading New Moon...again... I need a little refresher before the movie, which I totally can't wait for! I don't think I've been this excited for a movie release, ever. Anyway, before I get a little carried away and start rambling too much about twilight, I hope you have a great weekend!
What a sweet pup!
I'm sorry your brain is so fried, but it sounds like you've got quite the relaxing evening ahead. I'm also doing mindless reading. I'm reading a chicklit book, "Time Of My Life" by Allison Winn Scotch. I just finished reading, "The War Within" by Bob Woodward. It was a bit dense and a little depressing. I figured I'd choose a little brain candy for my next read. Sorry to be long-winded! Enjoy your evening!
im sorry youre so busy with school work! i would say i am too, but you sound like you have quite a bit more on your plate than i do (ah not trying to make you feel worse!!)
we appreciate that you take the time out to still keep us posted everyweek though :)
chooey is absolutely adorable with her little treats!!
good luck on your essays and midterms, VG :D
My brain = your brain. Enough said. I. am. fried.
Hope you get some time for yourself this weekend! Can't wait to catch up with you!
Happy Friday Miss VeggieGirl :) Love how Chewy looks up at the end and decides that the treat is much more interesting...so cute! I think I'm going to "borrow" one of your agenda items and have some dessert right now :)
gosh, i think EVERYONE has had a crazy week this week. seems like each person i have talked to is completely exhausted and in need of a tropical vacay...including myself!
i just got home from work, so my agenda is to read some blogs, catch up on episodes of the office and call it a night!
chooey looks soooo cute all shaved!
have a good one girl!
Oh I remember that feeling all too well - I am really glad I am at a place in my life where I don't have to write papers all the time.
Hang in there VG, and don't apologize for a second. You deserve a break! Enjoy your coconut bliss and your mindless reading.
Awww, Hi Chooey!! Love the new 'do ;)
I'm glad you're taking it easy on the studying tonight (last night?). You deserve a little break :)
No, I am not totally sane...but that is nothing unsual ;)
Happy Weekend, VGL!
I love VeggieGirl TV!!!
I have never tried the chocolate or vanilla Coconut Bliss - but I do have the Naked Coconut. LOOOOOVE it.
Errr...no, not really. Not this weekend. But I am a huge believer in easygoing time as a general rule! Enjoy every moment of your Friday, sweetie.
nothing takes the stress off better than a little GG reading. :) it makes me insanely happy that you read those books. they were my guilty (hide in my room, because i didn't want my parents to know i was reading them) books in the 7th grade. ah bliss. (not to be confused with coconut bliss.) ;)
yay for a video post! i love hearing the voice with the face. hope you survive your weekend!
DANG! I just left a comment and wordpress was giving me problems! BOO.
I'll try again.
I hope you get some ressssssssssst this weekend!! I am so sorry you have been feeling sick!
And holy poop! 6 papers in one week is insanity!! Oh HW!
I loved getting to see Choo Choo's precious face!!
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, VEGGIE GIRLLLLLLL!
Ohh what a cute little dog you have--love the haircut too. That's the only bad thing about pets--their hair just takes over your house!! My dog is a shedding machine, eek!
Hope you have a relaxing weekend--I have a loot of homework, but at leas the semester is half way over!
Sometimes we just need a break. You come before your studies!!
I'm doing some work this weekend, but making time to go see NY Chef David Chang's book-signing event here. Should be fun. Then, my hubby and I plan to go pig out on fish tacos afterward. Ahhh, sounds like a perfect evening to me. ;)
you are so cute, and i think you are even funnier when you are exhausted :) enjoy your weekend and get some rest!!
Hi My Love..I remember the days where you're at right now with school & life. Yeah, it's alot. You have a great spirit and attitude and you know I just cherish you to pieces :) and you will get thru this...hopefully with your sanity LOL.
I am going to check out a new yoga class in the morning at a studio and I am thrilled b/c I need to immerse myself in REAL community here in our new town, not just the virtual community. You know how that is...when you need to step back from the screen a bit :)
Love you sweetie and it was great dialoging with you this afternoon...that was the joy of my afternoon, without a doubt! Thanks for hollering at me
xoxo
Hey Lovey! I hope things calm down a bit soon! Chooey and Ginger act the same way. Haha, I need to get her on video soon and post it! Anyway, sending you lots of calming thoughts!!! :) HUGS!
P.S. I am emailing you right now about something..
Hang in there love! *hugs*
Well, you know what was on my agenda last night... :)
6 papers a week for one class?!? Papers for Theater? Honestly, I'd rather write papers then have to get up on the stage and act.
Looking forward to some VG baking - maybe over Thanksgiving?
Love you VG!
Wow you are a busy girl, I don't know how you do it.
Taylor
Hopefully things calm down for you! Too busy to bake? Veggiegirl? That is insane!
You're so lovely!
And your Friday evening agenda sounds wonderful - I hope you enjoyed it...unfortunately my Friday night consisted of reading towards my dissertation, and planning the next section that I'll be writing this week...ah, so much fun!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend,
xxx
Cute puppy!
I can't believe how much work you have, hang tight, you'll be fine!
I hope you take some time for yourself this weekend to relax!
Oh, sweetie, I think we all have those weeks when our brain seriously feels FRIED! A nice relaxing weekend is just what you need. Yoga will work wonders for you, and maybe you can try baking just a simple dish to keep your mind off any stress. School is definitely a top priority, but you have to remember that your mental health can't go without some R&R once in a while. :) Have a wonderful weekend!
xxoo
Heather
gosh do I feel your pain! my hubby is starting his PhD, and he is crazy-busy. please try and take 15 minutes a day and just meditate & breathe--it does help.
hope you get some r&r!! have some fun with chooey, too :)
CHOOEY!!!!!!!!! so cute i love it!!!!
hope you have an amazing weekend my love!
"i'm a vegan for health reasons. period" -- LOVE IT!!!!
Your agenda sounds nice and relaxing, I need some more yoga and coconut bliss in my life!
I love to bake on my weekends off, need to find a good recipe for today!
Oh, hang tough, Liz! My brain was like that yesterday (which was why I didn't see this post yesterday!) Hope you enjoyed your evening and get some R and R this weekend!
Not long till Thanksgiving- do you get a break from school then?
You have such an adorable dog! I remember those days when homework and studying dominated my life. Hang in there! :)
Hope you enjoyed your low-key Friday! My roomie is hosting a Diwali (Indian holiday) party in our apt. today so I plan on...eating. :)
Chooey :) what a perdy face!
best of luck to you on your agenda girl! Sorry to hear school is getting a little overwhelming :( rest up!
hang in there girlie!
I hope your evening agenda was as relaxing as you wanted it to be! Sounds like there's no end in sight for you any time soon. (((HUGS)))
You sound like one busy lady!! Good luck with everything this week and studying!
I can honestly say, I am happy not to be in school anymore (Well I am everyday but Im the one giving assignments) lol. You sound like you have your work cut out for you. It can be stressful BUT just think.. Thanksgiving break AND Christmas break is just around the corner.
Hang in there.. cant wait til your back to baking! Have a great weekend :)
Aw man, sorry hear things are so busy! I can definitely relate, but I am taking a little "me" time right now to do one thing I love a lot--read your blog:) Hang in there!
Wow! You have a really full load with school! Hope you have a great weekend and get some much needed R&R:)
Your poor thing! At least you are studying something that you are passionate about - your hard work will definitely pay off in the end! :) I am glad that you are still working in some "guilty pleasure" reading time - it's important even during stressful times to make sure to do things that you really enjoy (that aren't school related!)
Krissy xoxo
P.S. Love chooey's haircut!! SO cute!!
hahaha, you are hilarious. you sound like me on most days...im impressed you ever get videos posted with all that work. theater class with papers? boo! i totally wouldnt have expected that.
so glad you dont have random turds lying around the house, haha, you freak...the fact that you have to clarify that just goes to show you how much you are used to getting crap (haha, pun intended) for everything you write.
happy weekend!
Hi Veggiegirl,
I just want to say that I think you are such a wonderful asset to the blogging community! Keep it up. :)
I think your night sounds perfect...you deserve a break!! I did get a chance to relax a little bit but do have to get in the kitchen tonight to do work : ( Enjoy your night!!
I Love your pup...so adorable! Love her new do!
Good luck with your schooling, it will be all worth it!
Chooey looks adorable! I hope you had a nice relaxing night. Sorry about the school overload!
hey liz!
thank you so much for you comment on my blog. i am back at home now and i might be getting some advice from you in the future. my doctor said i have a mild form of crohn's disease and i am still a little bit unsure of what that means and what changes lie ahead of me in life. so maybe i will be writing you a FB message sometime if you're okay with that!?!
hope you get some well deserved rest this weekend my love. you looks so exhausted in the video you poor thing. and 6 papers?? that's crazy! try to skip the first agenda and put those books to the side this weekend
you really deserve a break now
much love
Neela
Hang in there with uni, it's worth it in the end! I had an easygoing agenda planned for yesterday, saturday, which involved watching movies, reading books, and lazing around the house. But a spontaneous invitation saw me lazing on the beach at Magnetic Island instead--so worth it. I feel much more relaxed and I think I'll focus heaps better this week.
It's healthy to take a break so I hope you enjoyed your evening- sound like you have a crazy load! The rest of my weekend will involve dance and yoga, maybe a movie night and school projects. Enjoy!
I'm glad you took it easy last night and gave yourself a little break. It's so important to be kind to ourselves! :)
Nothing on our agenda other than (hopefully) getting over this cold we have all been fighting...
Have a good week! And don't forget to take regular study breaks! :)
Ah The Carlyles!!!!!! I was obsessed with the gossip girl, a-list and it girl series my sophomore, junior and senior year of high school.....and totally forgot about the Carlyle spinoff! So i'm guessing you love them?? :)
Aww man, now i'm getting a craving for some fun, mindless GG reading and a game of the SIMS!! hahahaha......
Hope you had a lovely friday night Liz! The doggy's adorable :)
i love guilty reading and gentle yoga....sounds like great weekend plans to me!
hello darling :)
loved this video, its always so nice to just hear your voice, love you so much...and you are just the cutest person :)
and your agenda sounds perfect! coconut bliss, i am getting that asap once i am done with my laloo's goats milk ice cream...lol..cococnut bliss it looks and sounds so good, and they have all the flavs at my co-op yay :)
and yoga, i should start doing that again, i did pilates for a while, loved that...but yoga is the perfect relaxing exercise and is so centering.
love you girly and as maya said, Xmas break will be soon and hang in there will school, and all the work...and NY ? ;) hope so i will be so happy to meet up with you again and as i said to you this time i will be loads more happy and have loads more energy to do fun things :D
much love
xx
Eliza
good luck with all the papers! I certainly remember what that was like!!
I LOVE to read it's one of my favorite ways to relax
your agenda sounds perfect! a lot like my saturday night is gonna be like :)
That sounds like my kind of night! It must be in the air because my brain is shorting out as we speak : )
My agenda: Yoga, reading and I wish coconut bliss was in there too! It was actually on sale at my local co-op but I wasn't going straight home so I couldn't get it : )
Hope you get rejuvenated and recharged!
Hey Liz! I'm all about a little guilty pleasure reading now and then...magazines are my mindless escapes :) I hope next week is a little less stressful for you! Chooey looks adorable with her trim too.
Wow 6 papers?! That's crazy. I'm a journalism major (I believe you are too?) so I know that a lottt more writing is headed my way.
And I love the Gossip Girl book! Definitely a guilty pleasure, and a mindless read is necessary sometimes!
Good luck with your big midterm coming up :)
Great looking doggie cut! I feel ya when it comes to being busy. While I don't have stuff to study (yeah!!....sorry) I have a lot to do for my new business, it's crazy! I'm all about agendas. I write mine out every evening so I know what my next day looks like, and I can make plans around it, if need be.
I hope the studying paid off, and your agendas are helping!! Stay positive and stay cool ;)
CHOOEY IS ADORABLE! So cute :)
It sounds like you had a nice and relaxing friday night. Gossip girl + coconut bliss = heaven.
Funny enough one of my goals is to begin to practice yoga again, and to make more me time in my day.
I hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend and can get some much needed r&r!
Ohh Liz I definitely feel ya! Hang in there. The semester is coming to an end and I hope that you've got plenty of R&R to look forward to. It's crazy how all the extremely time-consuming school tasks all happen around the same time. Evil planning!
Chooey is looking as cute as ever! I hope our puppies get to meet one day. I seriously think I would faint from all the cuteness I think. Love you m'lady!!
p.s. cool new layout!
Good mid-morning Lovely Lady!
I'm SOO glad I came across your blog! Your posts are so insightful and I'm greatly appreciative for the extra motivation towards my own recovery :)
I believe self-care activities are crucial to our everyday lives-- so cheers to that! hehe
I hope you have a Sweet Sunday!
With Love,
Rebecca
I am not even vegetarian, let alone vegan, but my husband and I do make healthy, organic choices on a daily basis. Just want to let you know that I really enjoy your blog! Love VGTV, it's always a lot of fun to watch. And you're beautiful!
Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog, my mum had a lovely birthday.
You sound so so busy you must have 25 hours in your day to fit in all in! Its good that you still find time to do things for yourself too.
Good luck with the papers and exams
awee chooey looks so precious !! And you look so cozy:)
I a going to practice some yoga today as well :)
Shame, you sound so tired... Hope you could rest over the weekend!
I am totally in the same boat VeggieGirl- school, school, school, work, school!!!!!
I made sure to take it easy this weekend, and I'm glad you found some time to relax, too. I like Chooey's short hair!!
LOVE the new 'do on the Choo!
Indulge darlin' — a (veggie) girl's gotta have a few guilty pleasures! :D
xoxo
I love that Enjoy Dessert is on your list! It's awesome to make that a priority ;)
I just came across your blog and I am so sorry to read that you have so many allergies on top of Crohn's! I can relate a bit as I have food allergies as well, some of which I cannot get properly diagnosed. That is the worst part...anyway, I'm glad to have found your blog!
Hey girl! I really want to watch the video, but my youtube is really messed up and all the videos are slow and don't work! Sorry!!
Have a great week!
<3 jess
xoxo
Definitely don't miss school!
I am back to work after two weeks off and ready to go. Lots on my agenda, starting the day off making Kombucha!
Nothing wrong with some mindless reading...really is there any other kind? I kid, I kid! I read educational shiz, I do!
I don't exactly schedule leisure activities, but on certain weekends after particularly long work weeks (cough, like this one) I just kind of space out for a day and watch movies, and generally take it easy. It's necessary to take a break some times!
Morning! I was at the Foodbuzz Festival all weekend! Why didn't you come?!?!?!?
Love your doggy. SO cute!!!! Hope your Friday night was relaxing!
Paper writing is no fun, but your doggie is super cute. Hope you had a relaxing weekend!
hope you enjoyed your guilty pleasure & movie- your puppy looks like he loves you so much! coconut bliss party?!!? whenever it happens it sounds like fun!
my agenda:
-find an apartment
-move out of my ex-fiance's house
-deal with being an ex-fiance!
-presentation on Food Desert
-Exam in Medical Nutrition Therapy
-email you about our chron's and ulcerative colitis class
-Presentation in Lifecycle Nutrition..
-Format recipes and production of Iron Chef Battle Farmer's Market for class
-Work at Job #1
-Work at Job #2
-Blog.
That isn't even scratching the surface!
When did life get so crazy? Glad to see you got in some easy going activities- yoga! I'm going to Yoga now.
:)
omg LOOOVEEE your doggyyy
and do not worry your pretty litte head about the lack of baking and cooking...school comes first!
loving the agenda...organization is super important and this is one thing you are great at!!
good luck on your papers and make sure to enjoy some coconut bliss!!
hi love, i hope you were able to relax this weekend and follow your easygoing agenda...which sounded so great to me!
i always take time for some easygoing activities, haha! usually that means spending time with my friends or reading/journaling. taking mini breaks in between school work always helps me :)
love to you, my dear!
I am glad you took Friday evening off. You sound past exhausted and that is not good for you.
Do us all a favor and relax. I know you have requirements but don't take on extra responsibilities.
We need our Veggie Girl fixes . You have to take care of yourself so you can take care of us.
Don't forget to take care of yourself! ME time is very important:) Love the new do too:) Have a good week!
You have such cute hair!
I think I'm going to get into yoga. You, HEAB and Gina have inspired me. I think I'll buy a DVD or something. I think it would be nice to do every once in a while.
Wow an you are telling me to slow down. ;)
I can't believe how much you have to write so much! Crazy. Hopefully you love it though.
Tell me about it! I have speeches, papers, and presentations coming out of my EARS it seems :)
I have a nice boy who has taken to making me cd's and bringing me tea, so that kinda makes things more relaxing!
Hope you were able to get some rest and relaxation! Chooie(sorry if I'm spelling wrong) looks so handsome!
what a cute blog you have! my agenda? work, work and more work.
I love your de-stressing techniques! Dessert, yoga and mindless reading :) Sounds perfect. I had a whirlwind weekend and looks like things are going to be pretty busy until Thanksgiving Break! Then it's all food and celebration though! Oh and a paper....it never stops huh?
Your disclaimer about the treats on the floor cracked me up... our floor is always covered in random dog chews and treats, so I can relate! Hope you enjoyed your night of relaxation & that this week isn't as crazy busy for you! :)
I also love to add gentle yoga into my daily schedule. It helps to slow me down and bring me back to the present! Otherwise, I'd probably be 24/7 frantic.
I hope you had a good, relaxing brain break on Friday :) We all need that, even when our schedule is crazy and doesn't seem like there's time, otherwise we can refresh and move forward on those tasks. I feel like a school slacker compared to you - I've never had any classes that are so writing intense like that. I don't know how you do it, but if you love it, I guess that's what gets you through :)
And say hi to Chooey for me!
Man you are busy girl! Hope you are taking it easy and getting lots of studying in! hahaha
~Justine
You are keeping busy! I'm glad to see that you put together a low-key agenda :-) This week has been busy, and last weekend was The Boy's birthday. Our kitten has been keeping us both very occupied!
You've mentioned coconut bliss ice cream a bunch of times .... would you believe i FINALLY had some recently - tried the coconut, choccie hazelnut, and mint chip... OMG, amazing!
Back to norm is the agenda. After a weekend of eating and drinking too much, we're both on a mission to detox and incorporate the gym! It's still the holiday season though, so the baking will continue. :)
My guilty pleasure is just finding the time to veg on the computer. Otherwise, I've been busy with baby, and when she lets me, I've been reorganizing my house.
We definitely all can relate to the times when our brain feels like mush and we can't think straight. Just keep focusing on what you need to do and feel better next week!
I love your agenda...I ENVY your agenda!!! It sounds so relaxing :) But, of all people, you totally deserve it...enjoy!
I'm loving the lap dog! Our 80-pound Chessie would love to be a lap dog too, but she's a little big to share a chair with me!
Hope your crazy-busy schedule settles down soon and you find time to enjoy the upcoming holiday season.
Sweet friend! Hope you get more time this coming weekend. As for me, my guilty time indulgence is blogging!
The only thing on my agenda is don't go crazy from being so busy! haha.
Dear VeggieGirl,
I am a researcher working at the University of Bath, UK, working on designer behaviour. Currently I am conducting an experiment to see how watching footage of people using and explaining the use of their kitchens can encourage better eco-design ideas.
An example might be designing a fridge to reduce the time the door is opened by the user etc.
I have been looking for videos on the internet and found the 'Kitchen Tour' video you posted on google videos. This would be perfect for my research but unfortunately when I download the video it fails to work. Thus I would be very appreciative if I could get a copy of this from you. It does not need to be supper quality but if you could re-upload it to google and make it available to download (This is important as I am required to keep records of everything I use) that would be perfect. Or if there is a more convenient wed based method that would be fine.
Unfortunately I can not offer payment for this but it would very much help my research and hopefully help us to develop better techniques for encouraging eco-thinking and eco-design.
I appreciate you may no longer have the video or not be inclined to help but thank you for your time in reading this request.
Best Regards,
Phil
i wanna try the coconut thing im so hungry rightt now x
Love your agenda- sounds so fun! Your dog is sooo cute too! :)
The coconut bliss party sounds awesome! Maybe you can have it later when you are less stressed :)
A lot of us crazy bloggers definitely don't take the time to just have an easygoing evening. I think a lot of bloggers are type A people who always have to be on the move accomplishing things. Being home sick for the last few days has made me realize how lazy I feel just sitting around not accomplishing anything but in reality, we all need to just CHILL OUT every once in a while and embrace restful days.
Hope your week was less stressful! I know how it is to be so overwhelmed with stuff. Sounds like you had a great plan for some Friday night relaxation. I love Friday nights in...usually I'm so exhausted by the time Friday rolls around that I don't want to do anything!
good luck w/all your schoolwork and exams... I've been there and know how you feel... but just keep in mind "this too shall pass."
I am sure that you will do great w/everything, it's just hard while you are going through it.
