Wishes and Wants

I want to take graphic design classes
I want to go to New York City
I want to go to Hawaii
I want to take a cruise
I wish I could get up early and get my workout done
I wish I could get rid of the extra weight
I wish I was a better cook
I want a Kitchen Aid Artisan Mixer...in white
I wish I could say no to sugar
I wish I could kick my diet coke habit, trying only to have one every other day
I wish I didn't like TV so much
I wish my knees didn't hurt so I could run
I want to be really good at Yoga
So there..

I Love..


A few years ago my sister-in-law Jodi gave me some shampoo and conditioner for my birthday. It was the Burt's Bees Very Volumizing Pomegranate and Soy. I haven't used anything else since. I was the type of person that would get sick of a certain brand of shampoo after a few months and move on to something else. My hair is very very fine and I could never seem to find the perfect shampoo that wouldn't leave my hair feeling limp and just plain dull. I have to say that Burt's Bees is the best product that I have ever used. It smells good, it gives my hair volume and doesn't leave any build-up. But the best part is that all their products are 98.9% all natural. So there are no chemicals or any other weird ingredients. Since then, I have started using their body washes, lotions, lip balm and I use the bubble bath for my kids. Next on my list is their moisturizer's. I just can't bring myself to spend $25.00 yet.. I don't think I will ever use anything else. So thanks Jodi for giving me a great birthday present!

YOGA


So recently I have taken up yoga. I never thought I would be one of those people that would talk about how much yoga means to them and how happy it makes them feel because really, I always just thought of it as stretching for a long time. Well, I am here to tell you that it has become my favorite way to break a sweat. I look forward to going every time, and it doesn't hurt that I get to take classes from my sister Abbey who is amazing! She is the very best yoga instructor around. Yoga has helped my insomnia, it has helped with stress, and it has helped me lose a few inches around my waist, and it just makes me feel really happy when I am done. I never thought in a million years I would be able to do some of the poses, but I am amazed at some of the stuff I can do now! Anyway, I just felt like telling everyone that you should give yoga a try! I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the results.
