I’m a strict believer that beauty and wellness care must start from within. This belief is handed down from my mother, who was considered a “health nut” by the standards of her time (70s/early 80s) when it wasn’t so widely accepted or understood even. When once on a trip with the family when I was …
A Simple Way to Start a Morning Gratitude Journal Practice
Well Lovecats, it’s the week of Thanksgiving which means it’s time to give thanks and I think it’s safe to say we’re all pretty thankful that this year is almost over! 2020 has been the worst and the best in so many ways (if you are interested in silver linings), but whether you’re coming up …
Monday Motivation / Step Into Your Feminine Energy
If you’ve been on the internet or blogging for as long as I have then you probably know who Gala Darling is… and she’s pretty fabulous. If you don’t know her and her Radical Self Love movement, do yourself a favor and click through all her pages and books and videos, because she’s a ray …
THRIVE! With Gleefully Tim’s Dance Workout & SMILE
If you need a SMILE today and EVERYDAY, Gleefully Tim is your new go-to guy 🙂 I’ve been following Tim on Instagram for a while now and he never lets me down. I leave with a smile and have DM’d him that probably a million times and now he IS FINALLY GETTING HIS MOMENT and …
The Crystal Workshop Book & The Healing Powers of Crystals
Confession: I buy crystals because they’re pretty. But as I am drawn to trees to connect with nature, I am compelled by crystals to ground me to the earth. I’d like to say that I know what each and every crystal and stone that I have does and what their healing powers are, but truthfully …
New Guided Meditation // Finding Hope in Uncertain Times
Lovecats, there is a new guided meditation available from Oprah and Deepak and if now isn’t the best time to start meditating (if you haven’t yet), I don’t know what or when is. It started 3 or 4 days ago and they usually leave five days of meditations up for five days I think, so …
The One Where I Try Not To Panic About the Coronavirus
Just for the record, I am in total Support of the #CancelEverything and #SocialDistancingWorks movements… which I was already participating in unknowingly and just realized yesterday that more people are self-quarantine-ing themselves and their families, which is super smart. I wondered if it was mandated, but found out it was only suggested, but again… smart. …
Entertainment Meets Wellness with The Goop Lab on Netflix
Friday night I plopped down on the couch after a long day and of course, grabbed the remote and headed to Netflix. The thing I miss about having regular (cable) TV is that sometimes I just don’t want to think about what to watch and then choose. With regular TV, you can just channel surf …
Meditation // Reclaim the Power to Change Your Life -Starts Today
Lovecats! There’s a new guided meditation experience with Deepak Chopra that started today… and though I do miss Oprah’s intro, I’m so happy he released a new one to follow. I have purchased and downloaded almost all of his guided meditations, if not all of them, and though they never really get boring, it’s nice …
#MondayMotivation // Make Time for Wellness & Self-Care
OneOfAKind.life Mindfulness and self-care and even meditation have become trendy buzzwords in the last few years… but sometimes it takes a trend to creep into our minds and make a little home there so we think about it and start taking action. Taking time for yourself is important. And it’s about more than just scheduling …
Allie’s little Unicorn Birthday Party + Tri-Color Unicorn Cake!
I met these littles in the summer of 2017 when Peyton had just turned 6 and Allie was just about to be 4… Peyton is 8 now and Allie just turned 6 this month! I know it’s ridiculously cliche to say, but where does the time go? It literally feels like yesterday when we were …
The End of Summer Calm – Floral Empire Waist Dress
I shot these for Yealands wine at the Lake Arrowhead golf course on Grass Valley Lake, for an Instagram collaboration, but I thought it was a wasted opportunity if I didn’t share them here too, so this is a sponsored/not-sponsored post 🙂 I partnered with Yealands around Christmastime last year and learned all about their …
Wellness // New Free Guided Meditation Experience
Happy Saturday Lovecats! I know I haven’t shared about meditation (or anything at all) in a while, but I still include a meditation practice in my daily routine (sometimes alone, chanting my own favorite mantras in any free time I have -or any time I am stuck waiting for something or someone) but mostly I …
Brüush Gives Me A Reason To Smile… Because it Tickles!
I haven’t used an electric toothbrush in AGES. I did for a very long time (years ago) and then I just didn’t think the one I had was working very well so I went back to the old classic, a standard toothbrush that I had to use a little elbow grease to clean my teeth …
#MondayMotivation // Cheesy Monday Quotes to Inspire
Just a handful of pretty and inspiring quotes today to kickstart your day and week. They may be super cheesy, but hey, sometimes cheesy works! Hopefully one or more will motivate you (and ME!) to get creative and make this Monday the start of something new or the end of something old. Either way, it’s …
