A pic of oatmeal and books, my truest loves (oat details below)💕 I can't really explain why books are such a strong form of self care for me; I don't even know if I know the extent of it myself. What I do know is that little Olivia used to read nonstop. That everyday when she got home from school, she'd go straight to the couch and read before doing homework and then again as soon as she was done. That she read so much in the car that her mom (lovingly) threatened to take her books away from her. That she'd sometimes not check over her answers on tests so she could spend the remainder of the class period reading. And when she grew, she knew all she wanted to do in life was talk about books 📚 So she didn't take science her senior year of high school, but instead doubled in English. And in college, there was no doubt about what her major would be. And now, she's working in the publishing industry and hoping to talk more about books on here in her free time, because nothing brings her more excitement than words on a page that have the ability to bring people together, educate people, or cause debate. Books have been the love of my life since as far back as I can remember, so why should I not praise them 24/7? #deats: 1/2 cup of @bobsredmill rolled oats and @salbachia chia seeds cooked in @pacificfoods unsweetened vanilla almond milk, @vitalproteins collagen, and cinnamon. Then I topped with @wholefoods pumpkin seeds, @navitasorganics cacao nibs, almond butter and @bobsredmill coconut flakes. Clearly the perfect bowl for any book you're cozying up with 😜
