One of the most asked questions I get when people are looking to make some healthy habits and swap out their bath or beauty products is for body lotion!
⠀
Lotions can often be filled with toxic ingredients and because it’s something we use often and all over our body, it’s a great swap to start with in your natural living journey.
⠀
The good news....there’s a lot of options out there making a healthy choice easier.

Six daily habits for a clean home! ⠀ If you hate

Six daily habits for a clean home!
⠀
If you hate the idea of spending an entire day cleaning house (especially on days off) try implementing these 6 cleaning tips regularly.
⠀
By doing simple home cleaning chores daily like:
- decluttering
- having an organized fridge
- setting a nighttime tidy up routine
- keeping up with laundry and dishes
- processing mail and papers as they come in
⠀
You’ll find you can keep messes at a minimum and do less deep cleaning in your free time.
⠀
Do you already do these? How do you score out of the six?

Show of hands if this quote gave you an ah-ha moment like it did me! 🙋🏼‍♀️
⠀
One way I try to keep the clutter at a minimum is to be aware of those impulse buy moments.
⠀
If I can’t stop thinking about something after a few days, then I get it. It’s worked wonders for my clutter because rarely do I return for the purchase, proving I didn’t really need it after all.
⠀
But, for all those impulse purchases I did follow through with and now have to declutter, we have week 2 of the Decluttering challenge!
⠀
Swipe through to see what areas we are tackling this week, then check out my stories each day to see how I declutter and organize each space.

Weekend Cleaning Motivation. If you tend to be a “knock it out in a weekend” kind of cleaner then here’s a little inspiration in the form of a speed cleaning video.
⠀
As much as I want to clean a little each day, it inevitably catches up and I typically end up cleaning house on the weekend.
⠀
My biggest cleaning tips for the weekend:
🧹do what needs done the most (like what you just can’t stand to look at anymore)
🧹 do a quickie of the major chores if you can’t do a deep clean
✅ If you can’t mop just do a quick sweep.
✅ Dust tops of furniture if you can’t do the whole piece.
✅ Take a wet rag and wipe sinks
✅ Clean toilets
⠀
Are you a little cleaning each day kind of person or knock it all out at once?

What do you do for self-care Sunday?.....
⠀
It’s more than face masks and bubble baths.
⠀
For me it’s also getting your home set up for success for the week ahead.
⠀
Here are some ideas:
+ Pick up around the the house/tidy
+ Consult your calendar to see what’s ahead for the week and plan accordingly
+ Laundry done and put away
+ Meal plan / make grocery list
+ Button up your emails. Start with a fresh inbox come Monday.
⠀
And of course a little mama maintenance in the form of a bath and wine never hurt anyone 😉.
⠀
Swipe through for some of my other favorite quotes pertaining to keeping a tidy home you feel good in.

Let’s do this Monday 🤜

There’s something about Valentine’s on a Sunda

There’s something about Valentine’s on a Sunday that reminds us to slow down and smell the roses 🌹😉, am I right?
⠀
I don’t know about you but I can always find something to clean, organize or load my plate with.
⠀
But today I’m taking some time to relax and catch up on little things so I can reset for the week ahead.
⠀
Here’s wishing you a relaxing Valentine’s Day too! I hope this day leaves you re-energized (and not just from the chocolates and sugar rush).
⠀
What’s your favorite way to rest or reset?
