MONDAYS

Accurate representation of my son last night as he was wrapping up his homework assignments and preparing for the week ahead. I dropped him off and headed to the gym for a cardio workout. Laundry and house chores are calling for me but I wanted to share a few of my faves and finds this morning.

I was on the hunt for a scalp scrub and stumbled upon the Goop Himalayan Salt Scrub and decided to try it after being underwhelmed with one recommended by my salon last winter. My scalp was begging me to keep looking so I did. I fell in love right away….so did my scalp! I’ve been using it once a week for the last couple of months and it’s worked so well for me! I’m a believer. I find that if I take a couple of minutes to really work it in, it’s very spa like. I follow up with the Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Conditioner, another absolute fave of mine!

In an effort to eliminate some (most) of my caffeine intake I’ve practically stopped drinking coffee…opting for decaf when I do partake. I’ve been a tea lover for years and find that my hot tea intake increases in fall and winter so it’s been somewhat of an easy transition now that the weather is cooling off and I’m not longing for my usual iced lattes. I love the Starbuck’s medicine ball and have successfully recreated it at home the past couple of years; however, now it’s been impossible because Teavana discontinued making the Jade Citrus Mint (JCM) and Peach Tranquility (PT) tea bags. Yes, I tried the recommendations the internet told me to and no they aren’t the same…something is missing…definitely the mint and perhaps something else. So that led me on a journey where I discovered Tealeavz where I placed an order and just received it. I haven’t tried their version of the JCM and PT yet, but I have tried their chocolate mint and it’s DELIGHTFUL like a warm hug in a cup that is reminiscent of your favorite chocolate mint candy….I’m looking at you, York peppermint patties.

Thanks for stopping by!
