Things for October
Dear lovely friends,
I’m writing to you on October 1st from my bed while Johnny reads next to me.
I am officially 33 and I feel amazing. My goal this birthday was to completely shift my mindset and change my life and I have done just that. I have been listening to EVERY book from The Secret. So inpsiring.
We have a fun month ahead of us. Filled with family and friends :)
Whiskey our dog is on week 3 of chemotherapy and he’s doing GREAT. He has blood work on Thursday to make sure everything is going as planned. I am so thankful for modern medicine for this situation to prolong his life even just a bit longer.
I am so thankful for the changing of weather and the cool crisp mornings. We are still heavily into hot summer days here in North Carolina so I am slowly transitioning my outfits but in reality I’m wearing three outfit changes a day.
I hope this month is filled with more FUN.
Wishing you so much love and peace and most importantly J O Y .

Sneakers
As a Mom I am into anything that makes following my kids around daily easier. And sneakers are life right now. My SIL just bought the classic Adidas Samba and said they are so comfy and to size 1/2 down. I have been eyeing this color but also interested in these Vince pair that look similar.
Amazon Sets
I have a Varley set and I LOVE it but I have two toddlers and stains happen often in this phase of life. So I decided to invest in a few Amazon Sets and let me tell you they are amazing. Quality is surprisingly good and worth it.

Facial Cupping and GuaSha
I have been working on lymphatic drainage A LOT lately. I’ve been loving this Gua Sha tool and these cups. Perhaps, I should share how I do my routine and how it makes a huge difference.
Crunchi
I have been using the new Crunchi Sunlight® Tinted SPF 30 and its been awesome. I love how it isn’t too heavy and definitely gives me a flawless finish. I am wearing the Light Medium right now but probably will need Light during the Winter. Have you tried the Concealer yet? I love it!

Acupressure Mat
I am intentionally trying to ground my mind and body every evening. I bought this acupressure mat a few months ago and I am really loving it. “Pain Relief Benefits: Acupressure massage mats offer a simple yet effective at-home solution for back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches & migraine relief, improving blood circulation throughout the body, skin rejuvenation & helping to relieve tension. The included acupressure pillow provides additional relief and acupressure stimulation to the neck and upper back.”
Assembly Workouts
I was influenced and started doing Assembly classes and wow I am obsessed. My arms and everything is so much more toned and STRONG. I feel amazing. I am officially hooked. I may just want to move to Charleston so I can take live classes haha
