Enjoy life, this is not a rehearsal

Another weekend come and gone, another holiday accounted for. I lived up to the itinerary I outlined on Friday quite well. I believe I failed to mention this partFriday, but I created a glorious 4 days off for myself so I have an extra day before returning to reality.

This got me thinking about all I've been able to get done while still enjoying time off from alarm clocks and routines. I'd like to go on the record and fully endorse what my campaign would refer to as the "4/3 Greatness". This would be where we would all work 3 days and have 4 off. I mean, the whole life's too short mentality? Um, yea. But most people can't just quit working due to the need for survival and lack of a silver spoon birth right. This would allow moderation but with promotion of living for life, not for a living. Yay! Elle Woods for president!

Some visual recaps:

Can I just say, yumm? Innovative, precise, and tasty would surmise the entire experience.

Jimmy Hula's goodness.

Hot as all be but totally worth it since I was hanging with my good gal pal Jenny. Don't worry, I was lathered up in my SPF.

We totally knocked out the last season and a half of SOA. My god, what an amazing, amazing show. A bit intense at times and it doesn't hurt to have a drink prior to some scenes, but the acting seals its greatness. The entire cast is expert for their roles. Don't take my word for it, Netflix it up.

Happy last week of May! BTW, WTF? When did this happen?

Til we meet again,

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...

Simple blessings

I’m lying in bed, next to a snoring husband and my baby girl dogter sprawled out cozy as can be, while the rain falls down upon our roof. Gone are the days of spending a Saturday night downtown at a club, throwing beers back in a honky think, or galavanting around to anywhere with the lights on. And I’m not mad about it. Not even a little bit. There is tilt no place I’d rather be than with hunter, Roni and our comfy sweet little home happily netflixing and writing this here post. It’s a good feeling indeed. I count my blessings extra on nights like this and say a few additional prayers for love and comfort to continue on. I truly don’t ask for more than health, happiness, and love. Anything else is gravy. To simple blessings for all.

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? ...
