Self-tember

September was really good to me. I'm calling it #selftember I tracked my self-care for the entire month. This month saw me let my hair breathe and allow the barber to free me up some. It saw me increase my ear piercings, just because I wanted to. 😉 

I've read Bible Apps, mindful magazines and all kind of books. I've cooked more from scratch, fasted, prayed, organized , decluttered, drank lemonade from crystal wine glasses and taken baths at sunrise, sunset and for no reason at all. 

On Sunday I had an organic pedicure that consisted of a product that contained aloe and ground walnut shells. I'm living my best life taking care of self. #beAtpeace #betruetoyou #selfcare #ineedsomemetime

If that was Self-tember then I can't wait to feel the self love of Self-tober. 

Lavender Sugar Scrub ~ Thank You Ms. Rita

I received this gift weeks ago and I didn't open it in a timely manner. Why? Well, one it was so pretty. I wanted it to stay like it looks in this picture and two, I needed a special moment to use it. I'm pretty weird like that.

If you really know me you'd know that lavender is my favorite scent. It's my absolute favorite scent. Even our toilet paper is lavender scented. Couple that with some sugar and a cute mason jar, I was in awe.

This past Saturday was a tad stressful and I needed something that would make me feel really good. Aha! The special moment had arrived. I filled my garden tub with warm water and I scooped out my lavender sugar scrub. I started with my feet. Chilleee!!! The warm water and the scents of lavender brought on an immediate sense of peace and serenity. After I applied it to my feet, I applied it to my hands and then my arms and legs. I was felt like a lavender scented princess.

My skin was so soft and smooth and the scent filled the bathroom. Yeah, it was definitely a moment of heaven on earth. The peace that I needed for a slightly stressful Saturday.

I remember reaching out to thank Ms. Rita for making this scrub for me. Now, I want more and I am wondering if peppermint sugar scrub is an option.

Thank you Ms. Rita for your gift to me. The scents and softness of my skin blessed my soul. To be honest after writing this post I've decided to go and use it before I turn in for the night. I definitely added your lavender sugar scrub to my self-care regimen.
