Between my day job and trying to fix issues on here, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in websites this week, so TGIF! Here’s this week’s recap of Amy’s podcast, 4 Things with Amy Brown. Go listen to the full episode if you haven’t already, and be sure to subscribe to the podcast!
- Stop carrying stress. Amy read a story about a professor who said that instead of thinking of a glass as half full or empty, think about the weight of the glass. The longer you hold it, the heavier it gets, and the same goes for stress. So, don’t hold onto it!
- Caring for a loved one. Amy and her sister, Christi, talked about recently moving their dad to Nashville into an assisted living home. They were first planning to move him into Amy’s house, but realized he could be more social and make friends in an assisted living facility. So far, he’s doing well and thinks of it as a fraternity for senior people!
- Midol & gratitude. A while back, Christi wrote a silly poem about how she’s thankful for Midol, and she read it on air.
- Drunk Elephant Babyfacial. Amy bought this product recently and shared her feedback after using it. She loved it! She said her face was glowing and felt soft, and it worked well on her sensitive skin. This is also a “clean” product, so that’s a plus!
Here are the 4 things I’m loving most this week.
- Pumpkin body butter. I picked this up on a whim the other night and am so glad I did! It’s really moisturizing and it smells amazing, too. Plus, it has no parabens in it, so that’s a win in my book! I highly recommend grabbing one quickly since it’s a seasonal item and likely to sell out.
- Stick with what you love. My coworker and I went for dinner the other night and noticed this wall mural. I thought it was a fun little reminder.
- Natural Bliss dairy free half & half. I’ve been using this plant based almond milk and coconut cream half & half for a couple weeks now in my coffee, and I actually like it! They have flavored varieties, too, but I prefer mine unsweetened. I do have to use more than what I would normally use if it was regular half & half, but it has less calories and fat, and I like that it’s dairy free.
- Fall nail polish. I’ve officially switched over to darker nails for fall, and this is the OPI color I’ll be wearing a lot.
I have high hopes to do some cooking, cleaning and fall decorating this weekend, so hopefully I can get it all done. Enjoy your weekend, and see you back here next week!
