Beauty & Blessings: This Week in Wonder & Awe(some)

Hey there beautiful soul,

Happy [insert whatever day it is]!

Today, this day, is yours. As I saw on a t-shirt once, “May you be the reason that someone smiles today.”

Now that’s power:). You (and I) are that powerful.

 

Wishing you and yours the most wonderfully amazing and delicious day and week(end) ahead!

Sending so much love your way on this day, every day.

Love,

Joann

With the nice weather finally taking shape and signs of farmer’s markets popping up here and there, the foodie in me gets giddy thinking about the farm fresh veggies and endless delicious possibilities that await. So it’s no surprise when I came across this image that my heart leaped out of my body. Imagine having one of these in your backyard…

Veggies…they’re a good thing:) Click here for more images!

Song of the week: “Sleep is the Best” Lyrics by: Sara Scannell Song by: Bon Jovi

 

“Sleep Is the Best”

Seven nights of restful sleep is all that I need
To help my brain and body run successfully
it really isn’t helping so put down the caffeine
the best way to stay awake is just get a good sleep

we are all so sleep deprived
so go on close your tired eye
revolutionize being healthy

Want to treat my body right so I’m going to bed
For more than 7 hours a night I’ll lay down my head
I work better when I get a good rest
Gonna say goodnight ‘cuz sleep is the best

You have to recharge – it’s not a waste of time
Make your bed so cozy that your sleep is sublime
Put away your phone and your computer too
You deserve this time to focus on you

we are all so sleep deprived
so go close your tired eyes
revolutionize being healthy

Want to treat my body right so I’m going to bed
For more than 7 hours a night I’ll lay down my head
I work better when I get a good rest
Gonna say goodnight ‘cuz sleep is the best

I promise it will help you at your job or at school
being well rested is super cool
you wanna make the most out of your time on earth
spend enough time in your bed to show off what you’re worth

Want to treat my body right so I’m going to bed
For more than 7 hours a night I’ll lay down my head
I work better when I get a good rest
Gonna say goodnight ‘cuz sleep is the best
