Breathe Salt Rooms #DrySaltTherapy #SaltyYoga #BreatheEasy #JustBreathe #couponCode

It was such a pleasure when we had the opportunity to return to Breathe Salt Rooms

The salt room experience hadn’t changed like a reliable friend.  It was the same comfort, and yet different.  

In the Breathe salt room it’s was easy to relax and just breathe “deeply as the micro-particles of pure white salt are dispersed into the air, entering our airways to naturally cleanse and detoxify our lungs, sinuses and air passages.”

 Even our feet got to enjoy the relaxing feel of walking on the Himalayan salt floor.

                         

Salty Yoga is also offered for those who want just a little more.

Clients may partake of sessions in their street clothes.

‘Dry Salt Therapy is a natural and holistic treatment for adults and children known to aid in detoxifying the respiratory system, healing skin conditions, promoting better breathing, sounder sleep and overall wellness. It can help to alleviate symptoms of allergies, asthma, COPD, snoring, sleep apnea, sinusitis, bronchitis, colds, flus and so much more.”

Cold Plasma Eye @PerriconeMD

My daughter knows how I am always looking for a eye care product, so when she handed me PerriconeMD Cold Plasma Eye Cream I was super excited to try it out. She told me she had heard great things about this cream and she thought I might like it.  So let the magic begin!

I have begun using the Cold Plasma Eye cream twice a day after I wash my face. Once in the morning and again in the evening carefully not to get any in my eyes.   The cream will help with puffiness and dark circles, and hopefully restore firmness and hydrate and brighten the whole eye area. Showing myself some love. Work In Progress. 🙂

at my pace Lessons from Our Mothers by Jill Ebstein #bookworm

What a delightful book At My Pace Lessons from Our Mothers is!! Do you remember the most important lesson your mom taught you? Eat your veggies. Drink your water. Yes you are beautiful. I love you more. Your first cheerleader. Here, drink this. She has your back. Don’t be like everybody else. You won’t know unless you try it.  Raised me without a manual. Eat a good breakfast. Let’s get you a bra. It’s going to be Okay. Remember we all have mothers.

Jill Ebstein has just released a collection of stories from men and women ranging in age from under 40 to over 60, all candidly reflecting on one lesson, in approximately 1,000 words. Jill herself shares her own lesson of her mom, who while in her 80s, enrolled in a religious studies program — determined to take care of unfinished business, she graduates; her first ‘real graduation and her son hosts a grad party for mom at his accounting firm. This lovely book was so easy and fun to read, I read parts to my mom and I have passed it on to my daughter knowing it will make her smile because I will always be her mother.  It turns out that mother does know best.

Birthday Celebration at @IHOP #FamilyFun

My grandson turned 4 years old last week and he is so adorable. He celebrated his birthday at school and on Sunday we asked him what  he wanted to go  for his birthday. Without skipping a beat he shouted pancakes!! So it was IHOP birthday boys’ choice for breakfast. There is always something new at IHOP, this time it is the mouth-watering Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice lineup includes:

  • Sticky Bun Waffle: Two thick Belgian waffle triangles drizzled with sweet maple glaze and topped with honey glazed pecans.
  • Red Velvet French Toast: One slice of rich, chocolaty, cake-like French Toast topped with cream cheese icing.
  • Cinnamon Roll French Toast: One warm cinnamon roll dipped in batter and grilled before being topped with cinnamon roll filling and drizzled with cream cheese icing.

We came for breakfast and so we ordered pancakes, french toast and eggs, fried, scrambled and omelet too. Everyone was in a birthday frame of mind.

We stuck with our traditional favorites this time around  even though IHOP is offering the delectable trio of  freshly made signature dishes like French Toast and waffles include: Sticky Bun Waffles, Red Velvet French Toast & Cinnamon Roll French Toast!  For sure we will be back!!! 

The best part was everyone singing Happy Birthday and bring out a dish of ice cream,  whipped cream with a cherry on top. One happy boy!

Happy Birthday! I Hope You Dance! #FortyyearsOld

You know when you have a child you never think that one day the child  will grow to  be your age.  At least I didn’t.   I was 24 years old when I had my first child, a boy.  By today’s standards a 24 year old is still a child, but 64 years ago, well, that wasn’t the case.  Your first born child is always the Prince or Princess of your life.  Nothing compares to your first born.  Until they are overthrown by the second born.

But now my mind spins to see how quickly my son has grown.


 

How  did we go from, a little baby boy, to a full grown man?

In 40 years my son has given us more proud moments, than sad ones.  More joy, than glad ones. More peace, than bad ones.  I wouldn’t change a single thing about these past 40 years .    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Son, you have traveled many roads these 40 years, and I pray, with our Lord by your side,  you will travel many more.  However, no matter how many roads you travel, always know, you became the beat of my heart the moment I was aware of your existence.

So today, I want to wish you a “Happy Birthday!”   And  want to thank you, for giving me so much more than I could ever have prayed for and no matter what road you take,  you will never walk alone.  Always remember “When you get a choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance, I hope you dance.”
