Here we are on Saturday... a day of resting, catching up on work around the house and playing with the small human.
I also like to reflect on the week I’ve had and prepare for the next week.
📝 Reflections from this week?!
We have A LOT going on right now .. I can’t even list them all but a move is one of the BIG things. 🏡 I was constantly reminded of this scripture before bed this week:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
~ Philippians 4:6
Whether you believe in God, a Higher Power, Fate... doesn’t matter. We have to give our worries and anxieties in life away before we can have proper rest.
Being a child of the 90s, I had worry dolls. I used them a lot and I never knew the impact of them (a common theme this week) until now.
💭 Your thoughts? Quotes or ideas or epiphanies that have come to you as you focused on sleep this week?💭
👇🏻I’d love to hear them! 👂

🎶 Let’s talk music 🎶
How many of you listen to music before falling asleep? 😴
💊 I was in my teen years when my sleep took a terrible dive and I was prescribed medication to help me sleep.
🎻 I played violin in years prior (wish I would’ve kept that up - but, I digress) and always loved Pachelbel’s Canon in D. I would play it on my DISCMAN (did I just age myself 😅) to help calm me down before the meds would kick in.
Thinking of it now - did the meds do it or the music?!
It took me several years to be able to finally not need meds to sleep. Now, I resort to as natural ways as possible.
👇🏻 Post! Comment! Do you listen to music before bed? 👇🏻
Happy sleeping 😴

You know what they say about the best laid plans?!? ... 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Last night, and several previous nights, the kid fought sleep for 2 hours before finally settling. 🙃
Then at 1:15, she woke up screaming like she had a night terror. It took two adults and 45 minutes to calm her. 😔

🛌 So in honour of her going to bed right now, I am also going to go with the gift of time and put this tired mama to bed. 😴

I’ll be Live tomorrow to make up for today... I leave y’all with this quote...

💭”There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and never overlook either.” - Alan Cohen

Do you have any quotes or scripture you turn to in times of needing reminding you rest?! Post below 👇🏻

💤 Sleep routines... what are yours?!

Sometimes when I am SO tired I don’t even bother to wash my face. 🧼

BUT then I wake up in the middle of the night and NEED to wash my face. 🤦🏼‍♀️ My sleep is disrupted and then I need to start all over again.

Tips for a better night’s sleep:

✔️ Start turning away from screen time up to 2 hours before bed, a minimum of 30 minutes before bed
- screens emit blue light that disrupt the production of melatonin
✔️ Establish a routine that is short and simple
- your brain will associate the routine with sleep
✔️ If you can’t fall asleep within 20 minutes, get out of bed and do a low light, low stimulating activity (ex. Reading)
- the longer you stay tossing and turning in bed the more likely your brain will associate restlessness with bed

🎬 Tomorrow I’ll be going LIVE for our mid-week check in!

Happy sleeping 😴

Hello beautiful people!
I’ll be making a draw tonight for the Ortho Ease! Such an amazing product.

Timing update:
I will be on at 830 as opposed to 730... you know how that life things goes right?!
Can’t wait to see you all then!

“Anyone who says they ‘slept like a baby last night’ clearly doesn’t have one.” 👶

🛌 I’m kicking off SLEEP WEEK tonight around 7:30 and I am so excited to talk about the thing most of us are lacking - why is sleep important and what is stopping us from getting good quality sleep? 💤💤

Stay tuned! See you soon xx

Get ready, get set to love on yourself this week. We live in a hectic world and sometimes, even finding 5 minutes for ourselves seems impossible. This week, we are making ourselves a priority. I’ll be live after work today to kick off the week; but let’s start here: what are some of your favourite things to do to have “me time?” For me, it’s getting outdoors. Even when it’s -500 degrees. If I’m stressed, I get outside.

Hi everyone!!! I’m having some technical issues tonight and I’m not sure if my live video posted. I will just do a quick recap. The winner of this week’s challenge is Kirsten Reich!!! Congratulations on the water bottle and orange flavouring!!! Next week is Self Care week. Our guest next week will be doing a class on makeup techniques! Great job everyone on staying hydrated, and keep going!

Honestly have to say... this kid... MY kid... drinks more water than I do. 🤯

I tried very hard this week to get my 3 bottles in... I may not have met my daily goal but what I am MORE aware of is the fact that I know I need to drink more water.

So where do we go from here??
- I drink more water in the morning, so I know I need to get two bottles in before lunch time

That’s my plan. Did you notice anything about your hydration?
Share below!! 👇🏻👇🏻

We’ve almost made it to the weekend!!! Drinking plain water can be boring. Here’s how I mixing things up today. What are some of your water recipes?
