Below is yet another quote from this fabulous book I am reading:
"Every one of us knows fear. So well! It encircles us like flies around ox dung. It puts animal to flight. They bolt and run or fly or swim until they believe themselves safe or until they keel over dead from exhaustion. Humans are no wiser. We see that there is no place on earth where we can hide from fear, yet still we attempt to find one. We strive for wealth and power. We abandon ourselves to the illusion that we are stronger than fear. We try to rule - over our children and our wives, over our neighbors and our friends. Ambition and fear have something in common: neither knows any limits. But with power and wealth it just as with opium I sampled more than once in my youth - neither keeps its promises. Opium never brought me eternal happiness. It only demanded more and more of me. Money and power do not vanquish fear. There is only one force more powerful then fear."
Read that a second time - go and do it! It's got a TON of good nuggets in it! HERE is the first quote I posted from this lovely book.

No. 7
So, did you get the memo that I am living at the beach? If not, you may be living under a rock (or not really following me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook)! :0
Anyway, as the weather gets warmer, I've noticed that my skin and hair is really dry which is new for me. And as a true digital geek, I did tons of research online about inexpensive, but effective face products that are super hydrating. Ultimately, I decided to try No. 7 face products (which are exclusively sold at Target). Initially, I decided to buy a three pack of products that included a daily serum, day cream and night cream (retail is $59.99). Below is a pic:
After 10 days, I am hooked honestly. My face is so much more hydrated AND more importantly I can see the difference already. Anyway, I actually sold a lady on No. 7 in aisle tonight (as I was buying a daily facial wash and mask by No. 7). Yep, that seriously happened. I told her my story and gave a glowing endorsement for the products. Below are pics of what I bought tonight:
I would HIGHLY recommend the No. 7 products. Question - do you have any hydrating products you like for your body and/ or hair? Please - do tell!

Do you believe in love?
"Do you believe in love?
Of course I am not referring to those outbursts of passion that drive us to do and say things we will later regret, that delude us into thinking we cannot live without a certain person, that set us quivering with anxiety at the mere possibility we might ever lose that person - a feeling that impoverishes rather than enriches us because we long to possess what we cannot, to hold on to what we cannot.
No. I speak of a love that brings sight to the blind. Of a love stronger than fear. I speak of a love that breathes meaning into life, that defies the natural laws of deterioration, that causes us to flourish, that knows no bounds. I speak of the triumph of the human spirit over selfishness and death."
Above is an excerpt from a book i just started reading called "The Art of Hearing Heartbeats" by Jan-Philipp Sendker. I just started it, but it was one of those books that got my attention on the first page. Anyway, this excerpt just kind of spoke to me. I've gone back and re-read it a few times. Thought you might enjoy it. Happy Sunday!

How to live before you die

Oh how I love you....
First of all, you do realize blogging is all about the subject line, right? This blog is about my love for my new pillows. Don't be sad! I am SO HAPPY!
As some of you know, I have insomnia. It comes in waves. Thankfully, as of late (read: new puppy in house and sleeping in her crate) I have slept quite well. This week, I decided to wash my old pillows. A few of them didn't come out of the dryer the way I had hoped so I bought four new pillows at Target over the weekend. I went with the Threshold brand (Target's private label brand). Can I just say how fabulous they are? FABULOUS!!! And while my old pillows were just fine, these are AMAZING! Here's to sleeping soundly on AMAZING pillows. Below is a pic of the new pillows:
My only question is why oh why didn't I get them sooner? I kind of love them!!
