30 Things for Turning 30

I'm 30.  I know 30 things.
My 30th birthday was a month ago.  I meant to post sooner for this however, tomato, tomahto, September, November.

I am compiling 30 things I feel pretty certain about.  You know, since it's legit that I'm like a wise adult officially.  I mean, all my cousins who are at least 6 years younger than think I'm 35+ already so there's that.

1. My fave: Water. Drink it, live it, love it.
2. Smile often.
3. Eat breakfast.
4. Read fiction.
5. Don't eat a cookie because it's there. Enjoy treats as just that; a treat that's special and one you can't have any old time.
6. Faith and sweat even a playing field.
7. It's not bad to have 1 credit card for those crazy moments that can come up.
8. Buy the shoes.
9. Eat eggs.
10. Meditate. It's mind, eye, physically opening to much more.
11. Go the distance with education.
12. Laughter is so good and so necessary.
13. Give time to people more than gifts.
14. Traveling really is worth any expense over material purchases.
15. Workout some where, some how, some way.
16. Don't forget where you come from.
17. Work hard, be nice. End of story.
18. You can't unring the bell; think before speaking.
19. Wear the "wrong shade" according to Cosmo if you dig it.
20. Eat clean more than not.
21. Share with a friend. Bring an extra breakfast sandwich for your office buddy.
22. Ask for forgiveness and grant when you can.
23. Stay in touch with your family/friends not in immediate distance.
24. If you can make a living off of a passion do it.
25. Spend time as a server.  You'll meet all kinds of people and learn how to hustle.
26. Organize ambitions.
27. Just drive sometimes.  Windows down, music up.
28. Send thank you notes.
29. Hug hard and full.
30. Wake up every day and start with gratefulness.

To the next 30, friends.

Until we meet again,
M

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

This cat: Amazing company to go through life with: Food Trucks: #TBT: Laughing like this: Seeing the world through the eyes of the littlest people: Fashion: Kate Spade in particular: Family, with a highlighted focus on our generation: I feel very fortunate for what and who makes me happy. 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
