Hiatus

I took a breaky for a bit from ohgabetta. I was getting a little over zealous for a minute and truth be told I burnt out. I admit, school, work and day to day events have me going at warp speed these days. I let this little space o' mine fall behind me. I know it's life and it happens and it's not the end of the world but to me it is. I really want to stick with blogging as a steady thing. I need this. I am doing what I want to do, which is living my life and being able to capture so many happy thoughts an ideas to place down on virtual paper. I like talking in this space and adding pictures the way I see them. Talk about serenity freaking now.

I needed to breathe and reboot (wise words from the fab CB from SATC, BTW) and honestly the few days I've had off from work extra were much needed. Yes. They. Ar--I mean Were. As in, time to go back to reality and alarm clocks. Es la vida, no?


It helps that I got my paws on some new (on sale-yesss) stationary. Lots of happy desk spaces for me! I think this cures this bout of writer's curse(block). Having trouble virtually? Kick it old school with some dainty little sheets, some new mechanical glitter pencils(um, duh), and bam! You get it together and address your blog abandonment issue. Done.

Evidencione:




School ideas, errands, house projects, random thoughts of inspiration, grocery items---literally my brain in a five minute window. That reminds me; poor Hunter.


Okay, so I see in the bloggy world alot of awesome recaps from the weekend and a lot of reflection on the first day back after everyone's awesome holiday. Honestly, the world is wonderful right now. It was a beautiful few days to spend celebrating those who have fought, are fighting, and to those who aim join the Armed Forces. Thank you to anyone who come across this article for your courage and sacrifice in so many ways.

It sure is nice to have time to do what ya wanna do, take in some natural vitamin D, and quite honestly do whatever else blows your dress up. Travel, be lackadaisical, party, don't party, clean your house, trash someone else's pool, whatever the kids are doing these days. Hunty and I chose a little bit of homebody-ism with a side of visits to the pool multiple days:




Le view from under my floppy hat


Good healthy brain food and some lounging with red box in between pool vizzies:





(notsomuchpuppies)puppybabies time, talk about lounging this weekend...





These two? Ugh, of course they did.


I'm very rejuvenated for the short work week to commence and I'm especially thankful I had one extra day. I spent the entire day focusing on my final publication that ends my first semester of grad school. That doesn't mean much of anything actually. I start a new class Monday. That's the joy and the pain of a 1-year program indeed. It is 20% of my grade and I am earning every bit of that 20, let me just say. Excited, nervous, eager, antsy-you name it and I am feeling it on this one. Ready to bring to life my planning and create this story.


EEK,

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w

Tell me, what makes you happiest in all the land? Until we meet again, M

Reset on a Weekend

One of my favorite things in the world is laying in bed on a weekend night watching Netflix movies while my Hunter and my Ro nap next to me and I scroll Instagram home design and wellness accounts as well. This is particularly enjoyable after an extra long week, I might add. I feel calm and giddy alike throughout this downtime. I am able to relax and unwind, often taking mindfulness breaks and enjoying a komboocha or lemon water simultaneously. It couldn’t be any more basic. This recharge makes me naturally happy creating reflection and gratefulness for everything in my life. I’m a hard worker with determination and I like to reach goals and make new ones so I feel like I’m on more than I’m not. I need to reset like this because it reiterates what it’s about most at the end of the day; health, happiness, and an attitude of gratitude. What is your approach to bring it all back to center?                                                                               mk
