Let’s talk about some products I love even though I have been MIA for a bit and then let’s catch up.  The following products I am going to talk about do not endorse me in any way and I do not receive money for sharing with you.

However, I want to share them with you anyway because I love them!  And I am hoping you will too.  They are The Cutting Cottage, LLC, LuvBooks, and Smartass and Sass. 

The Cutting Cottage, LLC

The Cutting Cottage, LLC is an etsy shop and who doesn’t love etsy?  You know you do.  I love this shop for two reasons:  one because my daughter-in-law owns this shop and is very creative and even though she is an introvert, she does very well on the marketing and selling of her products.

Two:  All products are handmade to order.  You can purchase essential oil necklaces that are just gorgeous as well as rings, earrings and even some mommy and me items.  I currently own four pieces of jewelry and have a few more enroute to me.  

New items are always being added and I know recently she added something for the holiday season so head on over to her shop and check it out.

LuvBooks

LuvBooks offers books to be purchased individually, subscription boxes, mugs, blankets, and more.  There is also an option to purchase books by a specific author. Authors like Meredith Wild, Helen Hardt and some you may not have heard of yet. 

The subscription boxes are quarterly so you can receive a box every three months with books from those different authors along with some other goodies they toss in.  There are different ones to choose from as well.

I will include a picture of my next subscription box when I receive it which should be in September.  I cannot wait!  I love books and this subscription because it adds to my library.

Smartass and Sass

Smartass and Sass offers a variety of stuff that leads to smartassery in all of us.  I have only received one box as I deferred my July box but my August one is arriving today!  This too is a subscription box if you choose.  The current theme is Everyday I’m Hustling which of course gets me humming the tune.  

I have added a picture of the items in today’s box to this blog post.  This subscription box can be quite a variety from t-shirts to cozies.  This means there are different boxes to choose from for your subscription. 

Catch Up

I know I have been MIA for a bit.  Vacation never goes how you plan and I know we all can agree on that.  Vacation in WI was not how I had hoped it would be and quite frankly I struggled with not keeping up with my fitness goals while there.

It truly was not a vacation except the visits with our children and granddaughter.  Becoming a grandparent is the most unique thing ever.  You forget how small your own children were and then you hold that little one and remember.

Our children have very busy lives and I love that.  Each of them is their own person which makes them different from each other.  Our son Dakota (23), owns his own home and works quite hard for what he has.  He and his girl, Kirsten have two pups; Oakley and Masie.  Very energetic pups.  

Next week, it is back to my daily workout routine.  When you fall off the wagon you have to just stand up and brush yourself off and get back on it.  Am I discouraged?  No.  I am just going to plan on Sunday and get back to it.  

Remember, making a plan is what is important as well as making that daily appointment for yourself and not canceling it.  As I have mentioned before, I do not have small children at home anymore, but I do understand how difficult it is to set that time aside for you.  Somehow you will figure it out and be grateful you did.

Enjoy

I hope you all enjoyed this blog post.  I wanted to do something a little different this time.  Please check back for updates on my fitness routine and health and wellness!
