Dryer goes au natural!

I have decided that one of the next things I am going to change up is what goes in my dryer!  I have always used Bounce sheets...and unfortunately I have a ton left thanks to the extra-large box I bought at Costco this summer but I am committed to this change so those are going in the garbage.  I have also at times used Downey laundry softener especially with towels and bedding but since the bottle was done weeks ago I am not going to replace it...so what's a girl to do...especially living in a dry client that is very static friendly?

Well I bought these wool dryer balls called "Woolzies".  They are available on Amazon as well and if you google it you can even make your own...I am not that savvy just yet but they did have a box at the local health food store so I bought it.



The dryer balls are reported to reduce static, dryer time, soften the fabrics, save energy and be noise free...what they don't naturally have is a great scent.  That is where my new Young Living Oils from my kit come in.


I have added 2 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Lemon to each ball.

I am now doing my first dryer ball load and will let you all know how it goes.  Just another way to remove the nasty from your home and move towards living more chemical free.

A new purpose


I am feeling this itch lately to change things up in my life...nothing specific yet everything is on the table.  I am looking to make my life cleaner and healthier and to build that experience and knowledge into something I can share.  This is a mind, body, spiritual approach that I believe at my core is missing.  I have come to firmly believe that it is all interconnected and if you only adjust one that the full impact of even the most positive change can never be fully realized.





I hope to gain some clarity through this process towards what other changes this "itch" may have in store for me.  I watched this great YouTube video yesterday by Gary Vaynerchuck called "6 mins for the next 60 years" and it really spoke to me and some thoughts that have been running through my head for the past few years.

One day I would like to be my own boss.




Looking back some days I feel like I made a mistake career wise...I feel like I need to be doing something I feel passionate about vs. something that is just a good paycheck...what I want is both!!!! Like the picture to the left, which is from my bedroom wall I want to love what I do. Currently I am halfway through a Holistic Nutrition Diploma and I am feeling a pull to add on an Aromatherapy Certificate.  I have also long been drawn to the restorative capacity of Massage Therapy and am pondering taking the classes necessary to do this...which are offered here as weekend/evening classes...I believe that this direction would fit better with who I am at my core....but I need to finish some of the other things I have started first. :)

So here is to the next year and all the changes, big and small to come!

Namaste
