Crystal water bottles & why I am obsessed with them...

If you haven't heard by now of the crystal water bottle craze, then I am so happy you are reading this post right now. It seems like almost everybody and their mom has a crystal water bottle & because of how much I love crystals, I just had to get one for myself. 

I've pretty much made this Summer all about being my best self. Getting my skin the best it can be, keeping my body in motion and filling my mind with the most positive vibrations possible. I do believe that everything that you want comes to you, when you are living in a Blissful Vibration. 

WAKE UP & WATER. So, this is where the superstar crystal water bottle comes in. The second I wake up, I know water is absolutely essential. I keep water on my nightstand so that I can wake up and drink. The night before, I put a few drops of lemon essential oil into my water for a kick of flavor and I will tell you, when I purchased my crystal water bottle with Ameythyst in it, I am MUCH more excited about drinking my water in the AM. Before it, it was kind of hard to remind myself to take those first morning sips. Skincare is MY ISH, so water is almost like the essential glue that keeps my skincare work as optimal as possible. 

BRUSH TEETH & WASH FACE. This is the next step because if I don't do it first, it just won't get done. P.S. Have you heard of Magic Mud toothpaste? It's a charcoal activated toothpaste that is actually pretty amazing. It's supposed to whiten your teeth and be much, much healthier. So far, I am kind of obsessed with it. I use this Clarisonic Mia to wash my face every morning. I like to switch up my face washes because I have at least 3 or 4 different ones going at a time. 

MAKE MY BED BEAUTIFULLY. Need I say more? This habit helps you to feel more accomplished when you do it consistently. Why do you think the military makes them do it? It works. If you don't already consistently do this habit, I suggest you begin trying it. It's fabulous for your bliss. I also really like to keep sprays around my bed to keep my pillows and sheets smelling so fresh. 

VITAMINS. BREAKFAST. COFFEE. Whatever I am feeling for the day, I get these things going. During the summer, smoothies are my go to. AND I am obsessed with drinking coffee out of a beautiful cup. I got this pretty lavender and gold tea cup and I love it. It just makes my morning really fabulous. 

CANDLES. MEDITATION. YOGA. So, this next phase is kind of my favorite. I light candles first and I ALWAYS say an affirmation when I light it. Sort of like you pick your intention for the day and the act of lighting the candle sets the intention off to an official start. It's AWESOME! Then I'll put on some meditation music, clear my mind, do some stretches, etc. This keeps me balanced. 

JOURNALING. Right after meditation, I journal. If you want to join me, grab a copy of my new Blissful Living Journal. This journal will help you stay on a good track for 30 days and keep you in your own blissful vortex. 

The ISTA: May Amazon favorites

It's been a minute since I have published an issue of ISTA Magazine but I have been feeling the call for a while now. So as to not forget my passion project, I want to reconnect us to our inner fabulous self, our ISTA. So, I'll be curating the things that are current essentials for the intuitive bombshell. 

If I haven't told you this before, I am Amazon obsessed. Yes, I am a prime member and I also subscribe to Kindle unlimited. I'm even thinking of signing up for Audible unlimited. I even had my baby registry on Amazon, what doesn't Amazon do? In the spirit of my love, I'll be sharing the top 5 things in my cart every month. So, here we go. . .

1. I've been doing everything I can to take good care of my face. I feel like pregnancy came with a glow but it also came with some wrinkles. Perhaps because I just don't get the sleep I am used to. So, face rollers are all the rage and I love the rose quartz one. Put it in the freezer or fridge so it cools before you use it and it feels fantastic! 

2. Right now, the moon is moving into Virgo and so organization and planning energy is at an all time high. I am obsessed with planners as I am sure you know. I have several. I have just found this beautiful baby pink Filofax that I think would be a great storage planner, to keep old papers, notes and files. It's so so pretty. 

3. I put one of these money trees into a clients home and she let me know that money started flowing in almost immediately. I love Feng Shui and decorating is all about intention. These sweet little trees have crystals and copper wire that you get to stretch out and give your vibes to. It is a total creative expression and intentional abundance cure all in one. I want this pretty pink one! 

4. Clear beauty organizers are always in style. I found this smoky one that I really like and I think it's kind of 70's chic. A twist on the typical boring clear one you see everywhere. I actually think I want one for all my markers, pens and office supplies. 

5. Now that I am as hot as a furnace and the weather outside is irritatingly hot in Austin, I need a light robe and I have got my eye on this one. Amazon has surprisingly great fashion buys. My baby shower dress I found on Amazon and everyone asked me where I got it. Plus, things typically come in a variety of colors so its easy to shop for exactly what you want.
