5 Ways to Survive a Monday

Ok, we get it, you like to wreak havoc, Monday. You come in through the night and wham! You're live. Not so fast, I'm on to you. I know how to not let you get me like that:

5 Ways to Survive a Monday

1. Exercise early. Even for 20 mins, get up and grab you some endorphins. This one is big before hitting traffic, school buses, or any other human interaction.

2. Make breakfast. I find when I make my own it is particularly helpful in feeling like I've conquered Monday better than usual.

3. DVR a favorite show and get excited to come back home and watch it. Home is my happy space and I love getting back to it. DVR serves as a reminder of my fave place since it lives there.

4. Review any to-do's you missed last week. Then make a list for the current time at hand. Planning is crucial to Monday Survival. Crucial(!) I tell you.

5. Find a way to give back. Buy the person in line behind you coffee, spare a dollar to someone who asks, build it into your schedule to visit a shelter for animals on Mondays. Gotta give to get the feel good vibes, loves.

So yea, maybe I'm on the Monday struggle bus. Maybe this bus has quite a drive to make through the week with many things to get done and accomplished. But at least we all have each other as passengers, amiright?

Your go to Monday kick ass plan is....?

Until 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? ...
