There She Goes: New Products Available!
Hello & Happy Wednesday!
I’m off to visit a friend this weekend and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen this friend and I finally decided to make it happen, even if it meant dealing with all the logistics (both getting COVID tested, being extra-super-safe beforehand, and leaving my partner with our puppy for the first time ever!). I hope to have a few photos from Flagstaff, AZ to share with you beautiful people next week.
Remember to vote! vote! vote!, to stay healthy, and to be kind. The world needs your light!

Songs To Stitch To, Sing To, Get You Through The Week
Set Aside Some Time This Week For Some Self-Care
I. Simplify skin care! Do a little inventory of what’s working, what you love, and what you could do without. Toss the products you never use and focus on what makes you feel best!
II. Brainstorm your Halloween plans! Just because the holiday might look a little different doesn’t mean fun is cancelled! What would make it fun for you: watching a spooky movie; indulging in your fave candy; making some killer spiced cider; dressing up even just to stay in? Make it your own and enjoy!
III. Focus your busy brain. I recently wrote a blog about how to focus your busy brain as an achiever. If you are a get-a-million-things-done-every-hour type person, you may find this helpful!

Her husband lead a team that delivered a baby Gorilla in Boston yesterday via C-Section. Check out the cuuuuuute photos below! Thank you, Tracy, for letting us share this wonderful news! e
