Mindful Chakra Care

Throughout the past year, I have been studying more about meditation and learning about our chakra. I have even started doing Yoga Nidra. I am so excited to have found Mindful Chakra Care!

There are 7 major Chakra centers of the physical body, where vital energy flows and intersects. Through our Chakras, we transmit and receive physical, emotional, and spiritual energy. The chakras are manifested in one’s physical state. The ideal is to have all chakra centers clear, balanced, and vitalized for optimal well-being.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT MINDFUL CHAKRA CARE

Mindful Chakra Care has all the products you need to help with your meditation. It has amazing products such as crystals, jewelry, essential oil diffusers, harmony balls, yoga mats, chakra stones, and much more.

Want more information about the 7 chakras? Check out their website to read all about each one.

Celebrate States

WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM

One of the best things about travel is getting to know your destination. You can learn a lot about the place by eating their food and using products made by local artists. Celebrate States lets you “travel” around the US and explore each state. Each box is packed full of items that will make you feel like you’ve packed up your suitcase and traveled across the country.

I love that they really give you a feel of each state…a difficult task when a state can be diverse. When you are done using the box you actually feel like you know that state. I also like the way each box makes you want to travel there. It tempts you to want to explore it more.

You know I love a company that supports their communities and family-owned businesses. Celebrate States boxes are packed full of fun items from small businesses. You will receive 6-7 full sized items that include food, beauty, and home goods. The boxes also contain interactive material and travel material about the state. I love when kids have fun while learning.

Solo Travel…15 Things You Can Do Alone

Solo travel can be intimidating but also good for the whole family. I love my kiddos but it’s also nice to get away and have some “Me Time.” My kids don’t mind because they know I recharge, regroup, relax and come back with much more patience. My husband doesn’t see the fun in traveling alone and often asks me why I’d want to do it. Friends seem shocked when I tell them I’m doing a solo trip and ask me if I’m bored and what I could possibly do while I’m there to entertain myself.

Here are 15 things you can do when traveling alone:

Dinner

You’ve got to eat so why not make the most of it. This trip is all about you so find something the rest of your family may not enjoy. I always find it’s the perfect time for sushi, Thai, or Indian, since not everyone in my family will eat it. It is also a great time to get room service, pour a glass of wine, and eat pizza in bed without anyone asking if they can have a bite!

Get Lost

I plan everything out when I’m on a trip but when I’m alone I often leave down time to wander the streets or take a drive to see where it will lead me. I’m open to changes in plans and welcome last-minute adventures.

Keenan Shamrocks and Shenanigans

(Handmade Keychain Wristlets and Chapstick Holders)

WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM

You know I love a company that cares about their community. When Covid-19 hit, Kelly focused all her energies on making mask donations. She lost count around 1,500.

No one wants to be searching in their purse looking for their keys during a pandemic. I try to make as little contact as possible with my stuff when I’m out shopping. Kelly has so many design options and is constantly adding more. (I love the buffalo plaid ones!) She loves working with people to create a special order especially for them. They would make great gifts since they’re so versatile.

Boston Common Coffee

During this past year, my friends have all become OBSESSED with a local coffee brewing company called Boston Common Coffee. What drove them to fall in love with this company? The fact that they were delivering fresh coffee grinds and cold brew straight to their doorsteps during a pandemic made them an instant hit among my town. They would rave about the taste and convenience. I couldn’t wait to get back to town and try them out and I’m SO HAPPY I finally got the chance. You have no idea how happy I was when I opened my door on a snowy February morning to find a package from them. I can’t wait to show you what I got.

BUT FIRST…A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE COMPANY

Boston Common Coffee is a local, New England company but it ships their products all around the US. In 2019 the company was sold to David Croteau and Kevin Dogherty. As entrepreneurs, they wanted to re-invent the company to focus on online sales, wholesale coffee, cold brew, office coffee services, and charity fundraising through coffee sales. Their main goal is to maintain these high standards for their product and service. I know their company is going to be a huge success!

OK, OK…LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I GOT!

Harraseeket Inn (Fall Visit)

One of my favorite destinations in Maine is the coastal town of Freeport. It oozes New England charm and has everything I could want in a vacation…the ocean, restaurants, boutiques, farms, and lots of outdoor activities. When staying in Freeport, there is only one place I stay…The Harraseeket Inn. It has cozy rooms, a delicious on-site restaurant, and is the perfect location to call your home. However, what keeps me coming back to the inn is the staff. They are attentive without being invasive and they welcome you to the inn like it is their home.
