High Five for Friday!

High Five for Friday!



1. A month ago I got laid off.  After seven years at my company, they didn't need me anymore.  To say I was heartbroken is to put it mildly.  But....after a month a girl in my office decided she didn't like her reduced hours, and they called and offered them to me!  My office hadn't even been touched. I brought my box back that I had packed my stuff in and never opened, and settled back in!!



2. Thankfully I ordered some Ningxia Nitro.  Like 5 Hour Energy but without the chemicals.  I wouldn't have been able to make it through the week without it!  Daily naps have made me lazy!!



3. This kid.  I can't even.  This was the day he wanted to come back in the house sooo bad.  But when I opened the door, he just stared at me.  When I shut it....you would have thought that I had signed him up for a life on the streets.  (for the record, he was only in the sunroom.  he thinks that is the real outside).



4. I have a hard time sticking to healthy habits.  This time, I'm only committing to 30 days.  Maybe I usually fail because I think of things as life style changes and figure that if I am going to do something for life, skipping a day won't matter.  So this time it's just 30 days.  30 days of green smoothies and 30 days of daily walks.



5. My deck.  It has been in process for over five weeks.  The deck guy is also painted 16 auto parts stores an hour away, soooo my deck isn't getting done very fast.  Just a little more railing and we should be all set.  Cross your fingers!!

Coma in a bottle!


I know you would all love to hear about my adventures in sleep, right??!? When we first started this essential oils journey, Steve and I were putting lavender behind our ears at night and the sleep was awesome. So great. And then I added some cedarwood to the mix. People were raving about it and it's super inexpensive so I thought "why not?!" and that made the sleep even better.
Apparently, even through all of that, I had no idea what good sleep was. I kicked it up a notch and got Tranquil, a blend of lavender, cedarwood, and chamomile.
It is a coma in a bottle!!
Plus, it rolls on. So easy, a Steve can do it. I asked him last night if he minded if I stocked up in case it ever goes out of stock and his response, "uh...yeah...I count on this stuff!"
