Simple Seven

Hello there!   

I enjoy learning about other Authors, Artists & Entrepreneurs;  their lives behind the scenes , so I thought I'd share a couple of personal things about myself too! 

For my overall happiness & wellness journey, I 'strive' to achieve these 7 things daily. 

(Perhaps we have a few things in common!)

SIMPLE SEVEN:

1. Water 5 glasses/day + skincare

2. Flexitarian (Flexible + Vegetarian) & supplements (see below)

3. 8 hours:  Sleep (Member #5amclub)

4. 8 hours:  Business (Writing, Illustrating, Photography, Embassy of Ideas, Mentoring)

5. 8 hours:  Personal/Family/Friend Time/Gathering 

6. Daily Walks (with my Golden Doodle 'Vivian'), Light Weights & Mindfulness

7. Creativity, Reading, Fun & Kindness

(Full disclosure here:  I have a thing for 'cake' and I love to bake!) 

I'm doing my darnedest to avoid sugar.

My personal at-home PANTRY = 'holistic apothecary' supports my wellness journey and looks something like this:  

'Renew' Vitamin E is my No.1 go-to supplement. 

Along with these pre/pro biotics digestive enzymes.

I take this collagen  at bedtime. 

MCT oil powder with grass fed ghee in my morning coffee.

I pop (B12 + Vit C + D + Zinc) 

I long for ritual baths / showers (epsom salts, botanicals, oils, candles, music)

I'm a 'tub enthusiast'

I drink coffee in the morning - this tea for afternoon/evening

I rarely drink alcohol (but if I do it's a gin & tonic, Canadian rye & soda or an ice cold beer)

Vishuddha (throat) is my whole life chakra

Crystals intrigue me

Skincare Morning/Night Serum (with vitamins, antioxidants and botanicals)

NOTE:  If we don't exfoliate we're wasting our hard-earned dollars on skincare!

I like quick, simple & minimal makeup.

My heart remains open to my art practice

Forest Bathing and strolls near water when I can

Podcasts are the best!
