5 things bringing me J O Y

Hi ya’ll! Happy Monday! It’s a new week and I’m starting off slightly sluggish (period has arrived). I wanted to share a few things that are bring me JOY during this time in quarantine. I have gone through every emotion during this time and my dark moments don’t get me wrong are dark. . . but I am seeing the light wherever possible. Did I mention our Wedding is in August? That brings a whole slew of feelings and stuff! How are you all feeling?

1. WHISKEY AND BAMBINO: These two are the absolute best therapy. I’ve made a point of keeping Whiskey’s routine pretty much the same but just shifting the walk times slightly. He’s a dog that needs and loves his routine. It’s funny we have two different routes we take on our walks and he choose morning and afternoon the opposite one. We adopted Bambino in August or else we would’ve definitely adopted another animal right now. It’s amazing that pet adoption has increased drastically. I would highly recommend reaching out to your local shelters to adopt right now if you are ready! Bambino is from Frisky Fosters.

2. TACOS: Alright, I used to love ground chicken tacos. But since I don’t really eat meat anymore I’ve been obsessed with Beyond Meat Sausages and making them into ground tacos. I use Siete tortilla’s ALWAYS. It’s a staple for us when we need an easy meal or are craving comfort foods.

3. FRESH AIR: The weather in CT is a mix for sure. But I do see Spring on the horizon. I make sure to get at least two walks outside a day with Whiskey. The fresh air makes a world of difference for my mental health and definitely Whiskey’s too. On days when its warmer I open all of the windows too. Bambino likes to sit in our bay window and watch the birds. I highly recommend getting outside as much as possible. I even noticed that if we walk a little bit later after 7pm then less people are outside.

4. ONLINE BROWSING: We aren’t doing too much shopping around here. As we are hoping to buy a house in the next year or so. Bring it on manifestation! But I do love to online browse. . . Rebecca Taylor will always be one of my favorite brands. They have 25% off right now 25FORYOU.

5. THE CLASS: I’ve always wanted to try The Class in NYC, but never made the time. But now that it is online. . . I am OBSESSED. I started a few weeks ago and it has not only helped my body but my mind and soul too. My fiance has noticed a huge difference in my mood and attitude (even though he giggles when I grunt during it). :) Thank you Taryn Toomey for bringing me light!
