Five Simple Things (September 13)

Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. This heart.

I have been seeing heart shapes around lately. I am not sure why, but I like to think it's a good thing. The universe reminding me that I am loved.

2. This box.

Kiwi Eco Box is always a good subscription to receive. My favorite thing from this month's box, the linen bag.

3. These Crayons.

Nothing is better than a fresh box of Crayons. As a child I loved to open a new box and smell the scent of the Crayons. Now as an adult, I still embrace that smell. It's been awhile since I've been able to find a box of 64 with a built-in sharpener, so finding this made my day.

4. These candles.

Always a good time to burn a nice candle.

5. These flowers.

Getting out in nature is so important for your mental health. One thing that has caused a lot of mental health decline is overuse of social media, and news. Most news now days is bad news. There isn't a lot of good to cling to with that, or with social media. Some of it is avoidable, but some of it isn't. The best way to find that balance within yourself is to take time away from it and get out into nature. Every day of being in nature is best, but even a small amount of time can do a great deal for your wellbeing.

One last thing:

I found these two products this week and at first I didn't think I would use them right away, but of course that didn't happen. I used both all this week and I have to say, no regrets. Jennifer Aniston's Lolavie hair products make my hair feel and smell incredible. Being over the age of 40, this brand is perfect for me. And, we have always been Auromère users in our house, but these soaps smell amazing!
