Are You As Ready for Spring as I Am?

Dear Moms,


Spring is right around the corner! I can feel it in my soul! Lol I say this in jest, and with a bit of seriousness. I was born in May and I feel so at home outside - it's almost as if I have an internal clock that says, "DING, DONG- the season of US is upon us!"

As we creep into the longer days, and warmer temperatures, I begin open up my home as if to invite the days of sun soaked freedom to come in. I always open all my curtains and blinds when there's sunlight! I absolutely love the way the house feels bathed in sunlight! See, how I blather on about how the Sun makes me happy?!

My clock is on countdown mode and if you're a girl like me - feeling the "Spring Surge," here's some ways to do it with ease!

  1. Get Moving- Shake a tail feather, girl! The weather is about to warm up and you were going to have to again embrace shorts, tanks, and the dreaded SWIMSUIT! Eek! So, now's the time to get back in the gym, walk to work, take the stairs - whatever! Just start increasing your physical activity NOW to ease into the greater regime later on!


2. Make room for the season - SPRING CLEANING ! Some of you may have groaned when you read that... Stop it! Lol I have a way to ease into it with the sense of accomplishment that comes with doing loads of work - don't tell! Sshh! Go to your closet and if you haven't worn it in 6 months or more give it to charity, or take it to your nearest resale shop! Trust me, once you've unloaded that taffeta bridesmaids dress and that leopard print mini dress and all that other junk you'll find you feel superb!

Another way to make room for the new season is: open all your windows, (on a warmer day that is!) vacuum out the sills and take a soapy rag to the residual dust. You'll be sucking in fresh air, letting out stale air, and still feeling like you really accomplished a lot! If you feel up to it, rearrange some furniture in a room while you are airing out!


3. Mini Pops of the Season- Spring will not officially be upon us for a few weeks but, you can start adding mini "pops" of spring to your daily life! Try adding a hot spring color around your neck, wrist, or even from your lobes! Experimemt and try some hot spring colors on your tips! A splash of color is always a welcome addition to our often grey days of Winter's end.

4. Cheap Seasonal Treats- Of course you are going to indulge in a couple (in my case, DOZEN) Cadbury eggs and other seasonal treats but, also treat your home to some new season love by way of accents! They don't have to be pricey - just festive!

 I am a YouTube vlogger and I am always filming going to Dollar Tree! They have loads of things in the way of dishes, glassware, stemware and plastic ware. I just caught four tumblers $1! Needless to say, I got a few!


5. Enjoy the Moment- Whatever you have to do, or choose to do - enjoy the season. Embrace the Sun on your face, (make sure you use sunscreen!) Feel the breeze on your skin and enjoy living in the moment!

Happy Spring!

Dear Moms,  OMIGERD!! I have been swamped! Let me fill ya in: I am STILL in school full time, for my Graphic Arts Associates Degree.  I am getting the kids ready for a brand spanking new school year in an entirely new city AND state. I am getting my company: Essential Bath Elements off of the ground. I am working with the susband (soon to be husband) on both the ministry AND the cleaning company.  Oh- and did I forget to mention that I am MOVING?? AGAIN?!? Yeah, moving- once again. We have been in this house for a little under six months...but, the landlord was doing fraudulent things by renting it out during a foreclosure. Long story short, Fannie Mae purchased our home and then asked if we would like to continue renting, OR they offered us, "relocation assistance" to move. $$$$$ Cha-CHING! I was ready to pack while we were still on the phone with the broker! 👀 Am I alone?! Hands? Needless to say, I am scouting places for boxes and taking art...

Migraine and Anemia Rantings  Dear Moms, I recently had to face the truth about the seriousness of living with anemia. I have had anemia my entire life and never knew the true depths of how ugly it can get. I have discovered in my research, that living with anemia is wrought with hidden pitfalls that deplete the body's natural iron levels. Seemingly, every other thing one puts in their mouths on a daily basis is a culprit; robbing the body of iron. Soda, cow's milk, tannins in tea and coffee, and omeprazole (active ingredient in Prilosec an OTC heartburn medication) all deplete your iron levels. So, having an already depleted blood iron content (being anemic) and enjoying the ingestion of the abovementioned items... ¡No es bueno! Anemia is linked to restless leg syndrome and also known to be a cause of Anxiety and Depression. It causes insomnia, and even migraines! And all this time my mother just said I was "special" lol I was obviously being driven mad by ...
