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,

How I Holiday Decor

I love some holiday decor.  It's fun to mix and match consistent pieces for it and and exciting to switch out the ones that have their set calendar time.  Like my pumpkins for example.  I have a set of them that are used for spooky purposes first, then for grateful hearts right after. Let the record show exhibits ... A and A.5: Halloween goodness           Turkey Day decor   Also, let the record show further exhibits of love for Halloween decorating: B: Witch, please C: Even the tissues have monsters on them Oh and D:   Roni hates us, Pepper giggles, we take far too many pictures of this.   If you couldn't tell, my favorite time of year to decorate is for Halloween.  #givemeallthegoblins   I'm pumped to further enjoy this holiday season with high levels of gratefulness and plan to focus on love and happiness more than anything.  Happy beginning of the end of year holiday season and decorating to you and yours!   Until we me

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
