Sundays are my favorite day.
I usually take Sundays slowly, but the past couple weekends I’ve been ramping up my activities to set the tone for the week.
And I enjoy it.
Today I got up and had my coffee on the porch. I sat outside reading and drinking coffee. I finished reading The Miracle Morning, which I highly recommend.
Then, I made a small breakfast and a loaf of gluten free bread.
I’ve been putting off painting our bathroom doors. So I broke out the paint and spent a couple hours finishing up the master bathroom.
I went to my favorite farmers market, and I came home and moved really heavy rocks from the middle of the yard to a covered spot under the barn.
Now, Annie and I are snuggled up watching Netflix.

And I may or may not have ate the majority of this bag of delicious chips.

The plan for the rest of the day is to prep for dinner and get ready to start my Miracle Morning routine.
I need to figure out what time to get up so I can have ample time to prepare for S.A.V.E.R.S.
On a different note, I got my first bottle of Beautycounter’s Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion in the mail yesterday.

This stuff is legit.
It smells amazing. And while I was working outside in the hottest October heat, my face felt cool and fabulous (even though I was completely drenched in sweat).
I will sample it out to anyone interested. Visit the Contact Me page and let me know. I’ll send one your way.
Quick story: Yesterday, I ate 89 percent of a bag of grain free granola.
It was delicious. But it was also the most sugar I’ve had in 35 days.
My. Head. Hurt. Like. A. Boss.
The Whole30 is no joke. It changes your life. It teaches you to notice how your body reacts to things.
Just because it’s grain free and Paleo and all that jazz, doesn’t make sugar any less powerful of a dragon.
The thing about Food Freedom is it allows you the grace to acknowledge the habit (eating a whole bag before lunch) and revise (more veggies and water and good stuff).
Do the Whole30 program. Change your life. It only takes 30 days. You can do it.
Now for the favorites.


When I started down the road of cleaner and safer, my focus was food related.
But I quickly realized to live my best life I had to think about what I was putting on my body.
Never once did I bat an eyelash at the thought of my disposable makeup removing cloths weren’t safe for my skin and eyes.
Enter Beautycounter.

I’m so excited to have a safer, high performing formula to remove my eye makeup. It works perfect for waterproof and long-wearing mascara and eye shadows. But it’s free of silicones and mineral oils.
It uses the power of coconut and macadamia oils to break down pigments and cornflower extract to soothe delicate skin. Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, too
This is an easy way to introduce yourself to Beautycounter and its mission without giving up all the things you currently love. Safer beauty starts with a choice. And I can’t think of a better one than this one.
Start small with our Instant Eye Makeup Remover. Then add in a Charcoal Cleansing Bar to try out a best seller and a favorite of mine for skin care. Then try our new Volumizing Mascara.
One piece at a time. Safer beauty with each step.
When I placed my first order of Beautycounter, I had no idea how much I would love the products.
What I didn’t know before becoming a consultant was there was a membership program with awesome benefits.
And I kind of felt like I missed out on something, even though I was a consultant.
Now through Saturday, Beautycounter is running a special for becoming a part of Band of Beauty. And it’s an amazing deal.

If you purchase $150 of product and add the $29 yearly membership fee, you will get:
So for your $150 purchase – $30 Lip Sheer – $34 eyeshadow duo – $22 product credit – approximately $5 for free shipping….you get $91 in product or rewards. So you really only spend $59.
When you do the math, you get a ton of safer beauty and personal care products and a heck of a deal on future savings on shipping and products via product credits.
Not sure what products to get to reach the $150 goal to get the pretty Lip Sheer in Twig? My suggestions are the Charcoal Cleansing Bar, Countermatch Adaptive Moisturizer, Body Wash in Citrus Mimosa, Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner Set and the Volumizing Mascara.

Get yourself that best lipstick ever. And save big time. You will be so glad you did.
