5 books to read in the new year 📚

Last year one of my best friends gave me a book that changed my outlook and shifted my personal perspective. Since then I've gifted it and told many people about it. I wish it was required reading during your teenage years! That sparked my thought to share it with YOU and my top 5 favorite books to read at the beginning of the year! PLUS the perfect gift! 

7 self care favorites 💖

In the past 18 months I have done a lot of work on myself and for myself. And guess what?! I am more happier today than I have ever been in my entire life. Along with my friends and family, the self care items below have contributed to an amazing quality of life that I am excited to share!

1. Taking a break. I have always been bad at taking breaks. I love being productive, multi tasking and helping others. When I started my new job back in July I made a promise to myself. I added in a reoccurring hour lunch break each day to my calendar where I go outside for either a walk or run to the park or I call someone. It has been so helpful to take that time away from screens and move my body.
