A Friendly Reminder to Take a Break - You Deserve it!

Hi Friends,

 

I just got back from a much-needed weekend away at Snoqualmie Falls, a stunning waterfall nestled at the base of the Cascades here in Washington. It was a trip I had been wanting to take for awhile, but like so many of us, work and daily obligations always seemed to take priority. As a result, the fun things – the ones that recharge us – often get pushed to the backburner.

 

I’m working on changing that. I’m making space in my schedule for rest and relaxation because I’ve realized that it’s just as important as everything else on my to-do list. Taking breaks is essential for preventing burnout and for showing up as the best version of myself in every aspect of my life.

 

If you’re finding yourself in the same boat, overworking and putting off the things you love, I challenge you to make time for something fun this week. It doesn’t need to be a weekend getaway, but maybe it’s diving into that creative project you’ve been putting off, finally watching that movie everyone’s been talking about, or simply enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. You deserve it!

 

In other exciting news, I’m thrilled to announce that my shop will be launching ONE WEEK from today! I have so many exciting things in store, and I can’t wait to share them with you. Here’s what’s coming up:

 

Thursday, April 3rd – Catch me live on Instagram at 4:30 PM PST as I reveal all the details about the soap scents, paintings, and other exciting goodies dropping on Monday, April 7th!

 

Monday, April 7th – Shop Launch Day! This issue of Monday Musings will include exclusive promo codes for you! All purchases of an original painting or full-size soap bar will get a free sample soap, and any purchase of two or more prints will enjoy free shipping!

 

Wednesday, April 9th – I’m so excited to be the first guest on my dear friend Liliana’s podcast, Affirming Self. We’ll be talking about friendship, finding your tribe, and confidence. I’ll also be sharing some personal stories I’ve never shared before. You can listen to past episodes of Affirming Self here.

 

Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of this journey with me. I hope you have a wonderful, restful week ahead!
