Tired of being tired?

Five Simple Things (March 1)

 Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. This moon.

The view from this window gives us a feeling of being whole with the phases of the moon. It shines through in such a way that makes us forget the hurt, and negativity of the world. It's a positive mental flush, in a way. It reminds us of how small we all are in this universe and there isn't anything that is out of our control that we need to get upset about, or lose sleep over. We are all going to be okay.

2. These papers.

It's the time of year again.

3. This kid.

 

He loves trains. Ever since the first time I bought him a wooden Thomas the Train and wooden track he has loved them. I am so happy I gave him that love of trains to get him started. He can tell you about trains from the west coast to the east coast and it's information about them from the front to the back. It's incredibly impressive.

4. This water.

We fill out water bottles every two weeks, and sometimes once a month. We fill them at our local food co-op through a filtered machine inside their building. We have about 10 bottles, three and five gallon. We also have a filtered water machine at home that the bottles fit on. Our water task hopefully is helping us filter out microplastics. I would love if all of our bottles were glass, but we do what we can right now. I recently found out that Mountain Valley Water from my hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas, also delivers. Possibly a future option for us. Be sure to always chose glass over plastic when we can. The world is full of enough plastics, as it is.

5. This stick.

My go-to right now for dryness on my face and chest in this colder, less humid weather. It is great for under and around the eye moisturizing, too, especially on the go.
Citrus is in season. Stock up now!

Positive affirmations this week:
Try to work on cutting ties with people that don't serve you, or your mental health. It is okay to let go and grow for yourself. If anyone makes you feel like you are less, that's a good sign that they aren't for you. Remember the old saying, if they aren't there to support you in your growth, they shouldn't be the ones there when you succeed and reach your goals.
You can do this!🌈


Have a nice weekend.

Five Simple Things (February 23)

 Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. This place.

A night out is always in order. Dinner at Bo & Vine and ended up at the Beer Place after. A great night.♥

2. This sticker.


3. These spaces.


It's that time of year again where we do a massive downsizing. A lot of things we've parted with we don't miss. We are minimalizing down our house little by little and it feels good. Our garage is about to see an entire redo and the small closet in the hall is going to see a new facelift. More soon...

4. This fill-up.

Yikes... Things are getting a bit expensive lately. Hopefully, this November we get a better leader that can actually relate to the American people. Someone that actually knows what it's like to pump gas, buy groceries, sit down and pay bills, and actually know what it's like to live day to day at a real job. 

5. These favorites.

A few of my favorite things I am loving lately. 

One last thing:

Still loving my vacuum. I have to say that Miele is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. It's a canister vacuum and the bags and filters definitely make a difference in our home with animals. I am allergic to almost everything; dust, pet danger; molds; pollen, you name it and this vacuum gets it all. You can read more about our Miele Compact Vacuum here, and the AirClean Miele 3D Bags here.

Positive affirmations this week:
Don't forget to take note of the little things in your life. Make it a habit to notice at least one little thing that brings you joy every day.
You can do this!🌈

Have a nice day.
