List Of Things To Do Everyday
2. Go for a walk outside.
KEAP Candle — Tumbler Repurposed
I have searched high and low for the right candle from a good company. So happy I found Keap, maker of natural luxury candles. I treated myself to the Northlands candle during the holiday season, and I am delighted with the purchase. Not only is the fragrance exquisite, but it does not trigger my asthma, which is so often a problem with artificial, chemical, strong scents.
Honestly, this company had me at "we're not on social media." But Keap secured my loyalty and future shopping dollars with a fresh and clean scent, a beautiful glass holder, and attention to quality and detail every step of the way.
The Keap website includes great instructions on how to properly clean and reuse the tumbler that the candle comes in. I followed the instructions and repurposed my tumbler to hold a small floral arrangement. My flower frog from Floral Genius (another small company I love) fit perfectly in the tumbler. Taking things one step further (as I am known to do), I set up a make-shift photography studio and took a few photographs, creating a beautiful shadow-box style still life.
It’s not my goal to influence, only to share.
Day-by-Day
It's sometimes hard to tell whether I am setting a healthy boundary and stepping away from things and people that just aren't right for me. Or. Am I actively steering clear of situations, activities, or people that provoke anxious feelings? While avoidance may provide temporary relief, it ultimately reinforces my anxiety and prevents me from developing healthy coping strategies. I try not to overthink it and take it day-by-day. Stepping out into the world to greet what comes to meet me.
