I am not Oprah. I do not have a television show, nor do I have the money to send you all of these awesome things I am writing about. The best I can do is tell you where to obtain them, and promise you that the next time we are face to face, I will say your name in the Oprah voice.
Without further ado, here are 10 things I am obsessed with right now:
Knitting - it's calming and pretty easy to learn and do. I'm no pro, that's for sure. I haven't even finished my first project yet-a scarf for my mum. But I really love it.
Dry Shampoo - I have a lot of hair. AND I have bangs. Though it may seem like I have purposely made my life more difficult in the hair department, there is a solution. Here the dirty truth...it is not good for your hair to wash it every single day. Sorry clean freaks, but it's true. Your hair has natural oils that it needs to be healthy and happy. When you wash your hair every day, you're stripping your hair of those oils. This is not to say you shouldn't bathe everyday (unless you just don't want to, no judgement!). Dry shampoo acts as something to absorb the excess oil in your hair between washes. My favorite is Not Your Mother brand. But you can also use powder for your face or regular old baby powder.
My New Ragdoll Kitten, Baby Einstein - he's perfect, and evil, which I kind of love.
Dove Hair spray - It makes my hair so soft and manageable, but still holds it in place.
Sulfate-free Hair Products - Seriously, do the research. One week of sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner will make you feel like a natural woman, just like Aretha.
Scrub - I over exfoliate, almost to a fault. Try St. Ives. Or make your own with stuff from your kitchen. Sugar works, as well as steel cut oats or grits!
Skinny Cow Heavenly Crisps - TRY THEM. You'll never look back. This is a 100 calorie candy bar, of sorts, that is the best diet anything I've ever had. Although, 100 calories a bar isn't as impressive if you eat more than one per sitting, not that I'm speaking from experience...
Scramble With Friends - the most fun game I've played in a while. It makes me giddy and nervous with every game, and I get competitive...which is out of my norm. Play me sometime!
Eco-jot - I just ordered some amazing products for the store that are made of 100% post consumer recycled materials. Super cute and good for Mother Earth! Can't get much better than that!
Becoming A Doula - I've found my calling and I want to shout it from the mountain top! If you don't know what a Doula is, you must not have had a conversation with me in the past two months (But seriously...google it). I've been doing lots of research and getting my hands on all the information I can. It won't be happening soon (probably not within this year) but it will be happening. I'm so excited to be a part of profession that empowers women in their most powerful life moment and supports them in their choices. So if you know anyone who is in the early stages of pregnancy and is considering a doula, you let them know this doula-in-training needs to get some births under her belt and would love to serve as their doula for free or a severely reduced rate!
Thanks for reading! Tune in next time for a post that will build off of this one, My Favorite Beauty Products!
