My Favorite Things

My Favorite Things,I love sharing my favorite things that keep me smiling with all of you! Here is my favorite things list – some will take you directly to a product in my shop. Hey – a girl’s gotta make a living somehow! ;o)

If you are looking for a photographer to capture your heart and soul on film, Alyson Rorem at Jasper and Fern is the perfect person to do that! She’ll take you on a sweet journey to your happy place and you’ll absolutely love the final result!

Coffee is the morning nectar of the gods and if you are on a quest to find an amazing cuppajoe – here it is! Magic Beans is a coffee roasting company in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina offering a superb array of smooth coffees.

At the end of the day, I always enjoy a glass of wine. One of my very favorite wines is from Shelton Vineyards in Dobson, NC. Madison Lee Red is a wonderful dry red blend and has been my favorite for a very long time. If you’re new to wine, this is a great one to start with.

The fragrance that I use everyday is light, breezy and oh-so-very sophisticated. You will smell absolutely amazing not to mention your skin will be nurtured and moisturized! I began using my own products in 2014 and I appreciate it when people tell my how beautiful my skin is.

Where do I get my pure essential oils? Mainly from Eden’s Garden. It’s a small, women-owned company that supports unsprayed, ethical and sustainable essential oils. I need to know the chemical makeup of each oil I use (over 160 and counting) and they offer the testing results with each oil. And – the best part? You can order directly from them without “joining” or being forced to attend meetings. That’s a win in my book!

Aromatics International is a wonderful company that gets essential oils directly from distillers. They only buy from distillers who use plants that are wildcrafted, sustainable and unsprayed so you know you are getting absolutely pure oils. They also teach you how to use the oils, too. I use their oils in my products and blends.

Looking for insight for your life and career? The Tarot Lady is perfect for shedding light on life’s biggest problems. Theresa Reed cuts to the chase and gives you the information you need to move forward in your life.

Another one of my favorite things is the car I want so-o-o-o-o-o-o very bad. I’m dreaming…

This is the linen spray that I use every single day – every night when I go to bed and every morning before I make my bed (yes, I make my bed every day). Awesome stuff to help relax and clear your monkey mind!

I truly want to make a difference in your life and that’s why I’m a certified aromatherapist. There are very few places that have a certified program, and the Aromahead Institute is the best (and most affordable). Essential oils are plant-based and help you with your overall emotional and physical well-being. Andrea Butje is the bomb!

As for my Holistic Life Coach Training – again the best in the business which is Annie Mascelli of Your Spirited Life. Combined with aromatherapy, it is an excellent way to take charge of your overall wellbeing – you can book an appointment with me by clicking on the calendar button to the right.

The guy who writes Blog Tyrant is awesome in so many ways, but this particular blog post about website pollution really is important to read. Take a moment – will you?

Food is healthcare; medicine is sickcare. Maybe you don’t buy into that, but you can pay the farmer now to help you stay healthy or you can pay your doctor later to help you get well. Your choice. I prefer to stay healthy with good, clean food. Start HERE! No doubt about it – food matters!

Tressa Krenzer, owner of Lovingkindness Reiki and Yoga is a fabulous yoga instructor for curvy women. No matter what your skill level, she can work with you to reap the benefits for your health. She’s also a Reiki master – you’ll love the energy she brings to your session!

I love watching and listening to this amazing video on YouTube. So very relaxing and calming, especially when I am studying!
