Wild Lily Organics

You all know I’m crazy about spas and I’ve been so sad that I haven’t been able to go to any this past year.  However, just because you can’t go to a spa doesn’t mean you can’t bring the spa experience to your home.  Whenever I travel, I try to find unique spa experiences, and Wild Lily Organics has taught me some amazing ones!

WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE WILD LILY ORGANICS

As travelers, you sometimes need to step away from the norm and try something new.  Wild Lily Organics takes a different approach to skincare and once you try it you will become hooked! They offer TONS of tutorials on Instagram.  I love watching her reels and Instagram Stories and then trying out the different techniques.  There are so many uses for these tools.

Busy Girl Bath Bakery

This last year has taught me the importance of self-care and taking time out of my day to focus on myself in a calm environment.  Baths have become my new ritual…dim lights, glass of wine, soothing music. What has made the biggest difference are the bath products I started using.  Busy Girl Bath Bakery has some amazing products that I’ve loved using.  They make baths a relaxing experience.

WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM

My daughters and I have sensitive skin, so I often think twice about using new skin lines and bath products when we are traveling, in case we have a reaction.  I love how soothing my skin felt after using these products. They smelled incredible and I love that they use natural ingredients. You will feel just like you stepped into a luxurious spa when you use these products!

They also have the most beautiful artesian soaps that would make wonderful gifts for anyone.

Adding Tea to Your Wellness Routine

One of my favorite escapes is brewing a cup of steaming tea, grabbing a fluffy blanket, and snuggling on the couch with a good book. A cup of tea is not just a drink, it is an experience.  It can be used to wake yourself up after a late night, relax after a challenging day, heal you when you’re not feeling well, and a way to join together with friends and family. For me, 2021 is all about wellness and self-care, and I can’t think of an easier way that with a cup of tea. Here are some easy ways to incorporate tea into your wellness routine:

Wolfe Neck Center (Fall Visit)

Wolfe Neck Center for Agriculture and the Environment

Wolfe Neck is a nonprofit farm with 626 oceanfront acres and 4 miles of Casco Bay shoreline that is open to the public every day. A few years back I was given a tour of the farm.  Take a peek at my post about it.

This fall, I decided to bring my bike to the farm and spend a relaxing morning riding along its gorgeous views of the coast, visiting the animals, and breathing in that coastal air!

Halo Hand Nail Polish Review

While my family was buckled down social distancing ourselves during this pandemic, I started rethinking what food I was putting in my family’s body.  As I realized the importance of this, I then started focusing on the products we put on our body.  The ingredients in nail polish is something I never gave second thought to, until I started doing research.  I love that Halo Hand doesn’t contain the ten most common and harsh chemicals found in nail polish.  Clean polish?  What more could you want for your nails? Let me show you what we got.

Product Review (September 2020)

As some kids prepare to head back to classrooms, sports, and extracurricular activities, health and safety are a huge concern to everyone.  I wanted to share some products we have been using lately that we’ve really enjoyed.

Good Green Cleaner

WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM

  Tell me you haven’t been cleaning nonstop since this pandemic began! We have been going through lots of different cleaners because they seem to sell out so quickly.  Some we’ve liked and some we’ve hated.  Good Green Cleaner has been wonderful because it is an environmentally friendly, food-contact safe cleaner.

WHAT ELSE I LOVE ABOUT THEM

 They are a great product to travel with because you don’t have to worry about them leaking.  How? The bottles arrive empty so you just fill them with water, and twist on the recyclable “pod” to release the cleaning agents.
