Get A Happy Home In 3 Steps!

I love feng shui and this is a super duper easy way to a happier home! 

 

Plus......
Here is a recipe to make your own feng shui, non-toxic, all purpose cleaner:
You need white vinegar, water and your orange essential oil. In feng shui, oranges and orange peels represent vibrant life, affirming happy energy. On a practical level orange oil disinfects, enhances your mood, and it just smells so good and clean. To make the non-toxic all-purpose cleaner, take one part vinegar to three parts water and add 18 drops of orange essential oil in an empty spray bottle. Then shake it up! This all-purpose solution is great for wiping down counters, windows, glass, bathroom surfaces, floors, etc. As a feng shui plus, the orange scent carries with it vibrant life energy to clear space, and in turn rejuvenates you and your home!

Came home and last night had a hail storm, it was scary!!!

They started small and got bigger.......

This is the size of a quarter, it lasted about 30 minutes.

The rain storm was over in about an hour, and it got about 20 degrees cooler too.

My workouts were 2 days on the treadmill

About 10 minutes of swimming, I am not counting the rest of the moving and all....but I am sure it was a bunch of calories burned!
