A NOTE FROM ME TO YOU...

Congrats! You made it through the year that was January!!! I'm so proud of you!

Dan and I switched to the GE gym at the beginning of the year and it has a lap pool! So, as you can see, I've gone back to my swim team era and have been doing laps for my workout routine. I've loved it. The way my brain is quiet during it is a delight. And my body is so happy and feeling better than it has in ages! 10/10 recommend lol.

In smell good news:

This is the last month of the fall/winter catalog (WHAT?!) and that means (almost) everything is 10% or more off! AND! If you order this month, you get to see the new catalog EARLY! And your thank you mail will have extra special smell goods... *eyebrow wiggle*

Let's dig into February!

P.S. Sorry this took soooo long to get out this month! I had it ONE RECIPE from being ready to send and BOOM! the internet hated me and deleted everything I had done! I still love you. And your butt looks great in those pants. xoxo

THIS MONTH'S LEARNING SPOTLIGHT

Fragrance & focus: Support your goals with self-care

The new year buzzes with inspiration for getting after your goals. Consider this your friendly reminder to include space for self-care. Think of it as the foundation that keeps you balanced, reduces stress and improves your overall well-being.

To get you started, here are some simple daily, weekly and monthly ideas to sprinkle self-care into your schedule. And, of course, I’ve added my own fragrant spin.

Daily self-care

These small habits can have a big impact.

• Stretch it out. Begin your day with a morning stretch routine and an energizing citrus scent.
• This is an easy one: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
• Treat your hands to mini spa experience. A little sugar scrub and Hand Cream delivers luxurious moisture to winter-dry skin.
• Reach for a nutritious snack for your mid-afternoon pick-me-up. I currently am all about a handful of nuts and a cutie mandarin or two.
• Wash your worries away with Body Wash in a fragrance like Starburst Sky, that will make you feel so fancy!

Weekly self-care

Think of these as little resets to keep your week going smoothly.

• Create a spa moment with a new Scentsy Oil. A few drops in your Diffuser can help you relax and refresh.
• A clean space = a clear mind. Dedicate 30 minutes each week to declutter.
• Disconnect with a phone-free morning or evening. You’ll feel better after some intentional time spent reading, journaling or talking to family without distractions.
• Save yourself from dinnertime stress by spending a weekend afternoon meal prepping - hopefully me sharing my fave recipes helps!
• Go on a leisurely walk and let nature give you a natural mood boost.
• Ever feel like you can’t hear yourself think? Schedule some alone time with a cup of herbal tea and spritz of a relaxing scented Room Spray.

Monthly self-care

Mix things up during the month with bigger, feel-good moments.

• Try something new! Give yourself permission to take that pottery class or painting session and get the creative juices flowing.
• Plan time to reflect on your goals, celebrate wins and recalibrate if needed.
• Embrace a fragrance refresh and try a different fragrance each month. If you need inspiration, check out the Scent of the Month (this month's smells like Fruit Loops - one of the best citrus scents I've ever smelled!) or our monthly mystery box, the Whiff Box, to keep things interesting.
• Experiment in the kitchen with a new recipe. It could become your next favorite!
• Visit somewhere new in your community. Exploring a scenic spot or trying a new restaurant gives you a little something to look forward to during the month.

When it comes to self-care, here’s a secret: You don’t have to do it all! Pick one or two things you can reasonably carve out space to fit into your day. I know you can take a few minutes from your social scroll time to have a glass of water and do a few stretches.

Start small, stay consistent, and the benefits will add up. You’re worth the time and effort!

Be Valentine's Day royalty!

Just a chance to get to know me a little better, bestie!

Currently reading:

​Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros​

Dragons, wyverns, and gryphons - OH MY! No fae in this one, just humans, but still one of my favorite series so far! I reread Fourth Wing and Iron Flame in order to be refreshed and ready for Onyx Storm, which in and of itself ended up being delightful. I hadn't remembered so many things!! LOL! But then I was ready as soon as Onyx Storm came and I'm already dreading it ending because it's soooo gooooood!

Currently EATING:

I have a crazy love of garlic noodles. It doesn't even make sense how much I love them. But I love a very specific garlic noodle...from Nice Nice Noodles. And DANG IT, Nice Nice closed up shop a couple weeks ago and I'm going to be crying about it forever lol.

But now I'm on a mission to find out how to make them for myself - and that lead me to this delicious garlic nood recipe. The only change I made this time was a lot more parm, because the garlic noods of my dreams were so very creamy. But I'm going to keep tweaking until they're perfect. Don't be afraid to try this recipe though, because it doesn't disappoint!!

CURRENTLY BAKING:

I have been looking for a regular cornbread recipe that wasn't dry and crumbly. And, yes, I'm a weirdo who doesn't like the box mixes lol. But, never fear, I FOUND IT! This cornbread is sooooo good. Like, I sorta just wanna eat it out of the pan with a spoon lol. It's sweet, fluffy, light, cake like, and yet does not lack that cornbread amazingness. Great with soups and chilis - or whatever else you feel like eating it with (or, like I said, all on its own with a spoon lol).

A cheesy DAD joke for you!
