Happy Heart Month

Wow, 2013 is off and running

Where did January go?

Does it seem the older we get the quicker time passes?

February is a happy month

Valentine Day, Start of Lent and the Florida State Fair

(Cheesy but I still love the fair)

Still deciding what I'm giving up for Lent

AND what I'm going to work on

I think I will once again do the 40 bags in 40 days

What are you giving up?

 This is going to be my ONE Valentine craft this year

And I would really LOVE to make this

And this has nothing to do with my post I just thought it was so fitting :)





I LOVE Lent

Class Ring, Grandparents and Cheerleading

Junior Year is a big year of high school

I want it to slow down 

It's going to fast!

Savannah had her Class Ring Mass and Ceremony this week

She also had another cheer competition

And grandparents day at school

She is scheduling the ACT and SAT test

which means college is one step closer

How do they go from age 5 to Junior year so fast?

Yoga and Such

I went to my very first Yoga class last night

it was

Relaxation Yoga

90 minutes

pure heaven

I actually dozed off at one point

I know that's hard for you all to believe

I snorted or something and woke myself up

no kidding

I'm going back tonight for round two

this time it's not relaxation

it's the real deal

I have wanted to try Yoga at a "real" yoga studio for about a year

I think I have found a new love

it's so different than setting my computer up on a chair

watching you-tube

trying to keep my dogs off of my yoga mat

the wrong scent of candle

on and on

it just didnt' cut it

but this little studio - oh yes, we will be BFF's

I just have a feeling

(this is not me but I'm hoping to do that one day ;)

I started using doTERRA oils

a few months back

Lemon

Peppermint

Lavender

Have you ever tried them?

I honestly LOVE them

I'm actually thinking about selling them

(these are the oils I'm using and thinking of selling - I truly love them)

Here are a few ways to use them:

Lemon:

Put a few drops with your detergent in your dishwasher to avoid spots on your dishes

Put a few drops on a warm rag and disinfect your butcher block and cutting boards  

Put a few drops in a cup of water and boil in microwave for 5 minutes for a clean smelling kitchen

Put a drop in your night time face cleaner to brighten your skin

Lavender:

Rub the lavender oil in the palm of your hands and feet for calming effect

Rub lavender oil on chapped

 and sunburned lips

Put a few drops in your laundry detergent when washing linens and bedding

Put a drop in your hands and rub on your sleeping pillow - very soothing

Peppermint:

Inhale the bottle of peppermint to help with concentration

Rub a drop of peppermint oil on your temples and back of neck for headache relief

Put a drop in your morning bottle of water for energy

Peppermint also boost your mood and fights fatigue

Those are just a few areas I have tried them.

I am truly loving them.
