My Favorite Things: The Hippie Edition

Happy Day readers!!  I hope you and yours are enjoying this amazing weather and your week is starting off just right now.

 We had a fantastic weekend except for the fact that Em came down with a virus. She and I did lots of snuggling on Sunday and Monday and I'm praying she's on the mend.  

 I had to laugh at some of my purchases this weekend and I even said to the hubs I think I might be turning into a hippie :)  He laughed but had to agree and even kid me a bit.  Ha!  

 I hope you enjoy my favorite things: the hippie edition!

1.  Yoga Blanket

 I went to yoga for the first time in a long time on Saturday.  It was an awesome class that lasted over an hour but I didn't notice.  It was such a great class that was relaxing as well as challenging. While I was there I realized that I needed to invest in a yoga blanket.  I have a yoga mat but never would bite the bullet for a yoga blanket.  

 We used ours a lot in class and since my weekly treat to myself is going to be yoga I decided to invest in one.  I found mine on amazon and it was very reasonably priced.  They come in a ton of amazing colors!!

2.  Essential Oils for Beginners

 I scored this book while I was on amazon purchasing my yoga blanket.  I have really started getting into essential oils but to be honest I need more information.  I know the basics like lavender oil is good for sleep etc. 

 What I needed was a guide to how to get the best use out of the oils I have.  I've been using some amazing oils from Young Living Essential Oils.  I have tried other oils but theirs are my absolute favorite!!  They last longer and give me much better results than other oils I have tried.  I use their amazing baby blend in Emily's bath every night.  I purchased the purification for myself and use it for all sorts of things.  

 If you are interested in purchasing oils or learning more click on the second link below and my friend can help you decide what is best for you or you can search for her on Facebook, her name is, Christina Powell Maher.  Or feel free to message me (ceholley@gmail.com) and I will get you in touch with her.

3.  Headspace

 I'm kinda surprised how committed I have been to using headspace.  I am kind of in love with it and do it everyday.  I normally do it early evening and it really helps center me, relax me and help me push the reset button.  It is so awesome!!  

 I love that it is on my iPhone and I can use it absolutely anywhere.  It is by far my favorite app right now!  You can use a free trial with headspace or you can purchase it for up to a year it's totally your choice.  I highly encourage you give it a try if you have been thinking about meditation.

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

The Power of Positive Thinking

Happy Hump Day readers!!  I hope you're having a great week.  From time to time I get emails or requests for certain topics and honestly I've gotten this request in some form or fashion a few times lately.   People have emailed or Facebook messaged me about positivity or how to stay happy during hard times etc.  To be honest I was a bit surprised that these asks kept coming.  I decided it was a sign that I actually needed to blog about it.   I think we've all heard the typical attitude is everything comments and most of the time they are in one ear and out the other.  Or we don't think they apply to us just everyone else.  However, I don't believe that.  I truly believe our attitude and thoughts shape our hours, days, years and ultimately our life experience.   I think this is a huge shift for most of us.  To take our thoughts from the place they have always been is super difficult.  When I got honest with myself I realized that a lot of times what I was think
