A joyful January
I'd like to share a few items that added joy to my January, in the hopes that they might brighten your February!
- Thanks to a recommendation from Loren, who has been my "Gayle" since college, I have been running to Oprah SuperSoul Conversations on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0nMF1JL5tNJW7B0teIFWxV and enjoy the hit of positivity. I also enjoy finishing the run to the Greatest Showman Soundtrack.
- Clearly women are taking over the fashion industry and designing for our bodies. Spanx leggings https://www.spanx.com/leggings/and Namaste-Put hipsters https://shop.lululemon.com/p/women-underwear/Namastay-Put-Hipster/_/prod1360087 feel fantastic!
- Thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow, I began "dry brushing" https://goop.com/beauty/personal-care/godfreys-guide-dry-brushing/. Granted I got my dry brush for $4.99 at TJ Maxx, but it does seem to be helping to get rid of dry skin. <Unknown-3.jpeg>However, when I shared this tip with my book club, I learned that I needed to switch from dryer sheets to wool balls. No, wool balls are not a sex toy for the ski slopes but rather replace your dryer sheets. Sarah has been suggesting this for months, but it took the Tide Pod Crisis for me to do an overhaul of my laundry products. Get yourself some balls https://www.amazon.com/Wool-Dryer-Balls-Softener-Alternative/dp/B014WOWNAY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1517431654&sr=8-3&keywords=wool+balls.
- We treated ourselves to new sheets and cannot stop talking about how soft they are https://www.brooklinen.com.
- Gina Homolka has saved my waistline with www.skinnytaste.com and even the This is Usfinale did not cause me to break-up with my crockpot. Stir up some of her Tumeric Roasted Cauliflower Soup from this
Fast & Slow Cookbook https://www.amazon.com/Skinnytaste-Fast-Slow-Knockout-Quick-Fix/dp/0553459600/ref=pd_bxgy_201_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0553459600&pd_rd_r=5XF0424N71J054JTRCZY&pdrd_w=cjJtO&pd_rd_.
- Living with teenage boys can be prickly. Kelly Corrigan has been taught me a lot with these three words: Tell Me More.....https://www.amazon.com/Tell-Me-More-Stories-Learning/dp/039958837X.
- Thanks to binging The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel https://www.amazon.com/Pilot/dp/B06WPB59TM/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1517411220&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=marvelous+mrs+maisel, I am planning to add a lot of dresses to my spring wardrobe.
Hoping these suggestions bring some happiness to your February! xoxo, Sami
