Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert I got this book for an easy summer read and I really enjoyed it.

I'm so excited to share this edition of my 5 favorites today along with my little stories about each :) There are a couple affiliate links* below, but when you read my stories, you'll know why I am sharing each. 1. #Truthbomb Decks from Danielle LaPorte If you follow me on Snapchat (kmm810 if you don't! I love the snaps!), then you see me pull a #truthbomb card every morning! I absolutely love an uplifting, motivational quote, especially right in the morning. I was pulling on

New Monday. New Month. New Post! 1. Hydracentials Water Bottle I feel like my entire life has been spent trying to find the perfect water bottle (okay, that is a bit dramatic). BUT this Hydracentials version has pretty much everything I love - except for hand washing, but hey, I'll give a little. It's stainless steel, meaning it won't leech BPA and other toxins into your water, holds 25 ounces so it's a substainal amount of liquid, double layer keeps away the condensation, an

HAPPY NEW YEAR !! I love a clean slate. A new opportunity. An "easy" way to put everything behind you. I have witnessed a lot of negative talk about resolutions out there. Like, whoa. Most were saying they don't keep their resolutions or don't believe in them. I get it. This is one of the main differences between the 4 Habit Tendencies that Gretchen Rubin talks about in her book, Better than Before. But what I don't get? Not learning about yourself and WHY you did not ke

I must admit, I get excited to share these every month...especially whenever you let me know that you ordered one of the products :) Here are my new favorites! 1. Tin Star Foods Grass Fed GHEE It hasn't been a secret that I am sensitive to dairy, so I have to use ghee instead of butter. Usually, I make my own...but we had 4 weddings this month and I have been launching my new business, start a few new side jobs, and just generally trying to survive day to day! Therefore, I

Holy crud, it is already July 10th!! Better post my July Favorites :) 1. Farmhouse Fresh - Sand Your Ground - Clarifying Mud Expoliation Mask In the summertime, I feel like I just need a deep, cleansing mask between the yardwork, walks outside, and sweaty workouts (except when you spend your time in Pgh...)...this is just the one! I got this in a spa in Florida and it is my favorite. It can feel pretty gritty/sandy when you put it on, but then it dries like a mask and your

Another edition of 5 Favorites! :) 1. Thrive Market I'm all about sustainable, natural products...as you probably know if you have been on this journey with me. I just ordered some great household items from Thrive Market and love that I didn't have to go grocery shopping for them (time = saved!), not to mention I'm not sure where I would find them in PA. I got some clean dishwash soap, parchment paper, sandwich bags, alumnuim foil, and some other goodies. I also love their

My 5 Favorites for this Month : ) 1. Soma PJ Cool Night Pants Honestly, I may never wear another type of PJ Pants again. I truly debate leaving the house because I know I will have to take them off. Sad, maybe, but true. 2. Fresh Blooms A beautiful bouquet of flowers can brighten any day, any mood, and any room. The smell, the colors :) It just reminds me of sunshine and smiles. After this winter, I'm sure those of you living in the North will definitely be appreciating you

5 Favorites: April Edition
A series I'd like to start is "My 5 Favorites" : ) Ever come across some products that you just love and think others could benefit from? Yeah, me too! So here is the first list! 1. Synergy's Kombucha Gingerade Kombucha is a fermented tea that is made by adding a culture of bacteria and yeast to a solution of tea, sugar and sometimes fruit juice and other flavorings. I'm sure this sounds unappealing to some of you, it did to me at first!, but the benefits are wonderful. It
