Sometimes Self Care

/in , /by

Hiya:

Kristin and I are putting more effort into our self care. The caregiver hat is hard for us to take off. And I’m not really convinced that we need too. Afterall, it’s not that big of a deal to help someone get groceries, or to make handmade maracas so residents can play along with a handpan or other little things that are easy for us and not so easy for someone else. But sometimes when the needs of others are high we find it difficult to create space for our own well being.

 Small steps, that is how we are doing it. Sometimes we add, sometimes we subtract. Sometimes self care means going to bed early; sometimes it’s binging a great show (hello Karen Pirie;) sometimes it’s as simple as nurturing our faces with lux-feeling skin care products (hello Norwex).

What are you doing this week to take care of yourself?

 In love, light, and self care,
Delaina and Kristin

Nourish Your Soul

/in , , /by

Hello;
Kristin and I hope you find delight today in simple and magnificent ways. That you celebrate your breath. That the warm touch of the sun on your cheek makes you feel all the more alive. That you dress your soul in gratitude for all of your emotions. That when you see the world today: you see your value, light, and love on the tips of butterfly wings.

You are what the world needs now. You, just as you are. Eager and ready to live today in each moment. You are powerful and enough to touch someone’s life in the perfect way. Everything is possible because you dare to be, create, and share. Today is a canvas for your creative-divine art. And we can’t wait to see what you manifest through the magic of you.

Personally this week we have been in caregiver mode, taking care of family while also preparing for two local caregiving events. We are taking care of ourselves: listening to music, meditating, playing with our own creations and finding inspiration in the offerings of others.

Here are some of our favorites:


Inner Light music
Laughter Yoga with Dr. Kataria
Indigo by Ellen Bass

Enjoy, and thank you for sharing your magic.

In love, light, and breath
Delaina and Kristin

Self-Care Saturday & Sunday Too

/in , , , /by

Hello!

Make today a Self-Care Saturday. Turn your nurturing vibes inward and claim space for your health and well-being.

Inspiration. We love a good quote and will sometimes search the internet for motivating words when we need a little inspiration. One quote we love is written by Kamand Kojouri. “Forget your voice, sing! Forget your feet, dance! Forget your life, live! Forget yourself, and be!” The quote encourages us to let go of self-judgments and celebrate life. We turned this quote into a printable poster and made it available on our Etsy shop.

Music. Music is a great way to breath in calm and exhale stress. To help you settle into your soul and tune into chill Sunday Vibes which are also Self-Care Vibes. Here is a video Delaina created earlier this year.

Coloring. You might have noticed that we love the calming effects coloring offers. We have published sixteen coloring books that use the meditative magic of mandalas. And we have also created smaller printable coloring pages bundles available at Etsy and our Fourthwall shop.

 In love, light, and self-care,
Delaina and Kristin
