Goddess Provisions Box: April

No Comments

Another great box arrived this month from Goddess Provisions! I’m sure I sound like a broken record but they just know how to do it over there. This month’s theme continues the theme from last month but at a more in depth level. Last month’s theme was Ayurveda wellness which is the practice of ensuring health through connection and harmony of the mind and body. In order to keep energies symbiotic and flowing smoothly, Ayurveda suggests ensuring that your chakras (or energy centers throughout your body) are open and aligned. This month’s box is the “Higher Chakra Ascension” box and […]

Hey friends! Happy Sunday! What are ya up to & what’s on your mind?

Goddess Provisions Box: Past Box Favorites

No Comments

I just can’t get enough of this subscription box! I told myself that I’d stop the subscription once all this fertility business is over but “lucky me” it just keeps going on therefor so does the subscription! It’s like my little treat for getting through the months and for motivation to keep going too. I love nothing more than getting surprises in the mail and while I always know it’s coming, I try not to sneak peek what’s in it. It makes it feel like a Christmas present when it arrives (it’s for my inner child obviously). Since I’d taken […]

Did this week drag for anyone else? It was one of those weeks were I thought Wednesday was Thursday- the worst! Maybe it’s the weather and the fact that it’s April and we’ve had snow twice this week. I try to stay positive but unrelenting cold weather is a special kind of torture. Thank god for the 10-day forecast (even though it’s never right) for giving me a glimpse of hope for next weekend. 60 degrees…maybe? I’ll take it! No returns Mother Nature! Speaking of Mother Nature, are flowers blooming in your neck of the woods? We’ve got daffodils in […]

Zuzu Luxe Liquid Eyeliner – Raven

No Comments

It’s said that the eyes are the window to the soul. I think you can learn a lot about someone through their eyes, and even in how they choose to enhance them. I think it seems as if we like to enhance them the most of all our features too. Following the metaphor, it’s like how people paint the doors to their homes or put shutters or curtains on their windows, we want to make our eyes look most inviting. I don’t know if that makes sense but to me it does and I’m no different. Eye makeup is what […]

Put to the Test – Round 3

No Comments

Here I am with another sample stash post! I’m loving working my way through over here. It’s been so fun to try out new products. So far I’ve been trying the product out without looking up it’s description online first. It’s kind of fun to check the description afterwards and see if the conclusion I came to is what the intent was. This mostly applies to scents and colors I guess. I feel like I have a pretty good sense of smell (my husband says too sensitive sometimes haha) and I’d like to think I have a keen eye for […]

Current Faves: Spot Treatments

No Comments

I’ve been struggling to find the perfect spot treatment. I want something that is easy to apply, doesn’t cause drying, reduces redness, smoothes my skin, flatten zits, and make blemishes disappear instantly. Poof! Like, I’m just over here looking for real life magic, is that to much to ask for? I guess so, as I’m finding that discovering the perfect spot treatment is as elusive as getting a glimpse of the lochness monster. I keep hearing its out there but I have yet to find it myself. I have two on rotation right now that I think I like (but […]

Goddess Provisions Box: March

No Comments

Ok, this just might be my favorite Goddess Provisions Box yet! It was jam packed with goodies this time and the theme was so timely and on point – Ayurvedic Wellness. If you’re not familiar with Ayurvedic medicine it’s the world’s oldest holistic healing system developed in India over 5,000 years ago. It’s applies the notion that total body wellness requires a delicate balance of the mind, body and spirit. It’s principle is promoting good health, not fighting disease, so it’s a proactive health approach, not reactionary. I just read a quick description recently explaining that it’s basically the science […]
