Vanilla and Bourbon

I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the fall season for weeks!  The idea of wrapping myself up in warm sweaters and scarves, drinking hot tea, and being able to open my windows to breathe in the scent of autumn is just so appealing to me.  It's still a little warm for scarves, but that hasn't stopped me from wearing my current favorite fall perfume!

I picked up the Elizabeth and James rollerball set last Christmas as a small gift to myself.  While I do like all the scents, the Elizabeth and James Bourbon is by far my favorite.  It smells of oak, with notes of vanilla, and of course bourbon.  I typically like flowery perfumes, but even though this is more woody, it's actually rather sweet.  I just love how sultry and feminine I feel when I'm wearing it.

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years.  Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use.  Until then... these are just amusing.

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better.  You are better today, than you were yesterday.  Just keep going!  Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.

Embrace Being Uncomfortable

We’ve all heard it before, “ Life isn’t always comfortable.”   Even if the change is a positive one, like eating healthier… it’s still not comfortable.     I’m in the process of buying my first home, and while I’m so happy and excited, I’m also really nervous and scared.   I would like to think I’m ready for the additional challenges and responsibilities of owning my own home.   But, what if I’m not?   Big life changes can be really nerve-racking!   But, I’m finding familiarity with being uncomfortable.   And, I actually take that to be a good thing.     If we get too comfortable, there is no growth, and if there is no growth, then we are just slowly dying. So, this week, embrace being a little uncomfortable.   It’s how you know you’re changing!
