In the shower....

There’s something so revitalizing about a shower. Personally, I put on some Pandora radio (lately I’m loving City and Colour or Alina Baraz & Galimatias) let the hot water run and escape. And for those 10-15 minutes I reach a place of zen, it’s the closest thing to a reset button I have found. 

My two favorite items to keep in my shower at the moment are Dr. Bronner’s Hand & Body Shikakai Soap in Peppermint which I use as a body wash; the other is Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Soap Unscented, this I use as a face wash. I love the Dr. Bronner’s brand especially the face wash, it’s the only soap my acne prone skin agrees with and believe me I’ve tried it all. I also use it to wash my make up brushes! I always make sure to keep it on hand. The peppermint scent is so refreshing, I especially love it in the mornings because it just provides that bit of zing to wake me right up. 

 I don’t know about you but I hate when I pick up a new deodorant at the drug store and it doesn’t agree with me. It feels like such a waste of money and it’s one of those things you can’t regift to anyone lol. Gross. 

I picked this Secret deodorant up this weekend and I’ve fallen in love! It’s in the scent “Brazil” quite a lovely and subtle scent. The best way I can describe it is that it smells like me. A lot of the times deodorant fragrances smell very....how can I put it....deodoranty....esque....ish. Meaning that once you break a sweat you can tell its a fragrance trying to mask B/O. This Secret one just goes so well with my natural chemistry. 

Random Confession: “I’m a pen addict.” 

Whatever it is you’re saying, what matters most is your delivery. 

It’s only Monday and already the work week has started off with issues. As I observe my attitude and that of my co-workers, I realize there’s nothing that can be better resolved than with a patient and understanding attitude. We sometimes fail to realize how much easier and more pleasant our life can be if only we adjust our attitudes. We all know it’s no fun dealing with “that” person, you know, the one who has a problem for every solution. 

Like the saying goes, ‘Check yourself before you wreck yourself’

Hmm, I will dream of you Hmm, you'll dream of me too Hmm, your hands, they're on my face Hmm, there would be no better place

I'm a sucker for deeply moving and melancholic tunes, so when I came across London Grammar, it was like finding a little piece of heaven. Heather Reid's voice is both haunting and angelic at the same time. It speaks to my soul :)
