Welcome to the FRIDAY FIVE! I’ll be hopping into your inbox each week with some quick tips, tricks, Feel-Better hacks, and maybe a few recommendations of things that I am loving and that will maybe help to improve your day! I will share my experience, my inspiration, what’s working for me. A High-Five from me to YOU!

If You Do Nothing Else this week…tap into some SELFCARE!

Do you need a little self-care today?

Why not take a moment to just B R E A T H E … (go ahead, I’ll wait)… NOW, pick something from this list and give yourself permission to do a little S E L F C A R E. Your family will thank you, and even doing just this one little thing for yourself today will make a big difference in your overall outlook. Trust me, I know.

What I’m Watching…

I finished watching Downton (for the second time through) and needed a new series to begin…ask and you shall receive! My dear FB friends filled my feed with numerous options, you can check out the thread here. Many great suggestions! I chose to start with the Durells in Corfu (on amazon prime video). Loving it so far!

Also enjoyed this great Ted Talk from Matt Walker about how to prioritize your sleep! Professor Matthew Walker is a world-leading expert in sleep and is wonderfully articulate and will leave you in no doubt that prioritizing your sleep is well worth it. Enjoy!

What I’m Reading…

I’ve been creating some systems for my Beautycounter business to be more efficient and productive when I sit down to work. Whether it’s for 5 minutes or a full power-hour, and I needed to seriously stop overthinking things, enter Don’t Overthink It, by Anne Bogel (yep, Modern Mrs. Darcy ;-)) The take away so far is three things:

Setting Ourselves up for Success, Taking Charge, and Letting the Sun Shine In (my favorite part!!) Let me know if you’ve read this one already!My February Faves from Beautycounter…

The Jellies are back and here to stay!! These little cuties sold out over the holiday season and we’re so happy to have them back! Only $29 for the Duo and such yummy flavors!!

I’m also loving the Melting Body Balm, it’s a savior for dry, winter skin, even here in Arizona when our temps dip below 40 degrees some nights!! This was also featured in Allure Magazine and won Best of Beauty in 2019!

And my last February pick, although there are SO MANY I could share here with you (you’ll just have to have a peek around my personal Beautycounter link here) is the Counter+ Overnight Resurfacing Peel! Hands down one of the best products Beautycounter has created!! AND, if you become a Band of Beauty Perks member for only $29 (plus $50 in products) you can get the Peel and the Charcol mask for FREE!! ASK me how!!

And Finally a Quote I’m taking to Heart…

“The beautiful thing about living, is that you’re the author of your life’s story. So be cool to your future self. ” (Matthew McConaughey, Greenlights)

Have a blessed and beautiful weekend friends!!! xxoo
