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

Time Blocking

When I worked in corporate world, I learned the art of time blocking. Actually, in middle and high school this concept was introduced through classes being structured to a similar schedule; we had A and B days and instead of taking 6 classes every day for a shorter duration, we took three each day, alternating which three, for longer periods of time. To surmise, I’ve implemented this approach for well over 20 years now! #YouKnowHowIKnowYoureInYour30s #YouReferenceThingsIn20YearIncrements. Anyhowwww...since I transitioned to work for myself from home, I’ve created a time blocking schedule here as well. It’s typically much more flexible than any other time blocking I’ve been part of, but it’s a good system. When you know what you’re going to do or at least have an idea to begin your day, I find it works well and let’s me start out focused even on days I wake up feeling less than on my game. It’s funny looking back, I never realized in 7th grade block classes, it would begi
