Sassy sugar scrub

2 Comments / Uncategorized
Inspired by my favorite lip balm: C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve, I wanted to create something just as sweet for my hands.
What you’ll need:
1/8 cup of extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup granulated white sugar
10-12 drops of fragrance
8-10 drops of vitamin E oil
5oz leak-proof jar
red food coloring
decorative rose
ribbon
Where to shop:
Grocery store: olive oil, sugar, food coloring
Hobby Lobby: Crafty Candle Fragrance
Something Fabulous fragrance, 
Vitamin E oil, ribbon, flower accessory
Sally’s Beauty Supply: 5oz jar
Mix your ingredients in a bowl separate from your jar. Add more fragrance if olive oil is too overpowering. Add red food coloring so the color matches the scent.
Spoon ingredients in the jar.
Perfect for a homemade gift, beauty night, or just to simply treat yourself.
Enjoy.

Until next time,

Here’s to always being your B.E.S.T!

Officially eight months in the year…times waits for no one. The color run event that I have been training for is just around the corner.
Quite amazing how a little sweat can help clear your mind. Help you discover what really matters, and provide some ease for life’s transitions.
One of my goals for this race is to enjoy being outside with people who care about giving back to their communities. I have already put in the work, now it’s time to just enjoy the world around me.
Some insight on my preparation:
1. Weight training: 1hr 30 mins. 3-4 days a week
2. Cardio: bike, elliptical, treadmill 30min-45mins 3-4 days a week
3. Stretch after every workout
4. Post-workout protein shake
5. Track 2-3 miles 2-3times a week

Everyday is an opportunity to be better than we were yesterday. May we have more days like these and tender thoughts to guide our dreams.

Until next time,

Here’s to always being your B.E.S.T!

July rewind

Leave a comment / Uncategorized
I have neglected my sweet blog long enough and wanted to rewind, recap, and remember my recent adventure. (I think I put enough r’s in that sentence).Moving on to Austin, Texas: (June 28th-July 1st)
I really love and adore New Mexico, but my trip to Austin was quite a fairytale. Granted, I was with a great group of gals which added to this sweet, treasure of a city.

This big city swooped this small town lady off her feet!

The lovely accommodations.  
The view from the hotel.
Local pubs, hubs, and everything in between.
I never saw anyone on these scooters, but they made for a nice picture.

 The sign says so…so it must be true.

  
Literature for the trip back…   

                                                          and thank you for getting me home.

Amazing how much you can squeeze in a short amount of time. The travel bunny in me has been ignited. There is so much I haven’t seen or experienced in this world. I can only hope that I will use my time wisely. We don’t live forever and thankful so, because then we really would take everything for granted.

Until next time,
