Hello! Such a busy time for many of us, so I'm going to share a few "lovely" things that are making me content, calm, and happy.
Firstly.... a couple of wonderful little books have come my way. I've been reading gobs of fiction lately, and these two little gems are a nice change of pace.
The first is The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo.
This is more than your average organizing system. Actually it's way more than that.... so far it seems to be about decluttering not only your space, but life in general. The author teaches her method all over the world, and it's just a nice peaceful read. Great for this time of year and excess. Even if you don't feel you have clutter, there's plenty to learn and a different take on organizing. You can find it here.
Another book I've got in my pile is The Gifts Of Imperfection: Let Go Of Who You Think You're Supposed To Be An Embrace Who You Are by Brene Brown. I've just started this one, but I'm liking where she's going, and her happy writing style. You don't have to be in the middle of a "life drama" to get something wonderful out of this book.
You can find this one here also.
Okay..... here comes the beauty part! It's all about oil, especially in the winter. I've almost completely given up on lotion because oil seems so much better for winter skin (well.... and summer too). Here's a couple of products I've been using.
The first I discovered when reading a book by one of my favorite "common sense" authors, Mireille Guilano. She writes about an oil called Aragon Oil. I've been using it daily (actually throughout the day) on my face, nails, and hair for over a year. Oh Gosh! I love this stuff! I know Walgreen's carry it, but too expensive. I buy pura dor' and one bottle lasts a good year. I buy mine here.
Another new oil that I'm so pleased to have found is......
Dr. Teal's Olive Oil Bath & Body Treatment. You can find this about anywhere. I came across it at the market. It smells heavenly, and no oily residue. The price is right too!
So.... just a couple of "happys" to share with you over these holiday times.
