We were recently fortunate enough to make a trip to Barcelona and Rome. We have a marvelous time and I took so many pictures. Here’s a quick video of our time in Barcelona.

I don’t think it’s any secret that I love essential oils.
We use them daily around here for everything from cuts/scrapes to aches/pains. I use them on my face instead of all kinds of lotions and potions and I even use them to help balance my hormones. Recently, I was having trouble sleeping, and I’ve been using a blend on the bottom of my feet before bed. I cannot believe how soundly I have been sleeping. All this leads me to tell you about a little recipe to make your own sugar scrub. If you’re needing to make some Christmas gifts this year, this is the easiest recipe to use.
Just mix together 1c. sugar, 1/2 c. almond oil, 1/2 tsp. aragan oil, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 15 drops of Lavender Essential Oil. Mix well and store in a glass jar. I got these 4oz. jars at Walmart in the canning section and they are perfect!
If you have any questions about essential oils, how to use them, or where to find quality oils, just contact me using the Contact me form in the menu at the top and I will get back to you!
Have a blessed day!

Why do you think women have a hard time with self care? And how do you think this Brave Girl class might help you get through the holiday season?
I think women have a hard time with self-care because we’re so emotionally driven. We try to help and take care of others because that’s in our natural instinct, but because of that we tend to forget about ourselves often. For me personally, i’m a full time nursing student. I work hard to be where i’m at and i’m often faced with many emotions all at once. Fear, anxiety, love, sadness, joy, and much more flood into my life when i least expect it or need it. A Brave Girls Class would be just what i need to rejuvenate and restore my tired, anxious, and overwhelmed heart. Before i did nursing i was a photography major and still to this day run my photography business capturing newborns and all their bitty details. It’s what i love to do, and i hope to some day be able to take a break from studying nursing and live in my creative cloud once more. I just miss it- and hope to one day be able to have an outlet to create in that’s simple and doable. That’s why i’ve been looking into Soul Comfort.
Brave Girls Club will be contacting you soon! Thank you to all of you who participated!

COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS POST. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO ENTERED!
Today I’m offering a giveaway here on my blog to a seat in the upcoming class Soul Comfort over at Brave Girls Club!
Wondering what is Soul Comfort all about? I’m so glad you asked!
To the tired, the exhausted, the overstretched…here’s an invitation…
Life can be simple.
What if we celebrated the brave act of….taking a break?
What if simplicity, comfort, and quiet were the goal?
What if there really was a way to quiet the chatter in our minds and let us recharge our body & soul?
And what if it was fun, too?
Soul Comfort is a fresh new concept using art and journaling as a means to relax and comfort yourself and to get grounded while dealing with the craziness of every-day living.
This course is full of beautiful projects to fuel your creativity in very simple and easy ways that are meditational and relaxing , beautiful comforting things that will have your soul infused into them so that you want to keep them forever.
Melody (course creator and teacher) says, “I want to teach you some new habits of creativity mixed with simplicity that I have learned over the years. Being a recovering hoarder of supplies and techniques, this is really a new way to give yourself permission to do things simply but beautifully.
One of the most wonderful things about this course is that everything fits into one fabric tote bag . . . I wanted to create a whole course where all of the supplies fit into a tiny space so that you could take it everywhere you go…so that you could do it sitting on your bed, on your couch, with your family, do it with your children, in the car, wherever your day takes you. It’s incredible. This has changed my life. This has been something that I have used on my own and I can’t wait to share it with you.
You can count on this class to be . . .
- enlightening, enjoyable, fun, & simple
- customizable with many choices to fit your exact style
- interactive, encouraging, and supportive with a private community on Facebook and weekly live chats
- a beautiful experience that will help you relax, simplify, and enjoy your life
- a place to learn simple new ways to journal, plus the ”Brave Girl” way to use stitching and such to create both beautiful things you’ll love AND peaceful relaxing moments
- a place to learn exactly what nourishes YOUR body and soul, and how to fit comforting rituals into your day
- something that you can finish without feeling overwhelmed
- produced with the level of caring and excellence and attention to detail that Brave Girls Club is known for
We’ve worked to narrow down things to quench the yearning of your soul…to be able to be creative but also to be sensitive to the mess that it makes and the time that it takes as well as the brain space it takes for complicated tools and techniques. We will teach you fun ways to make beautiful things while relaxing yourself . . .and we’ll be participating in the class right along with you.
- This will be relaxing, fun, and simple
- You’ll be able to take it along with you, everywhere you go
- Instead of overwhelming you with one more thing to stress out about, this eCourse will help you relax, enjoy, and feel comfort and peace no matter what else is going on in your life.
Sounds fun, right?
