Tell Me Tuesday! Do you have 300 seconds and 300 pennies for yourself?

Good morning and happy Tuesday! Don’t you love when friends share great tips, tricks and info on things they love and are using? I do! So today I want to share the love by telling you about several things that can help you TAKE BETTER CARE OF PRECIOUS, FABULOUS YOU!!!  Tell me, ladies, do you have 300 seconds and $3 for yourself today?  Read on!!!

First, I am honored to have been mentioned in a post by my good friend and amazing businesswoman, Claudia, on her blog at www.trendylatina.com. If you don’t follow her, do so immediately! She is simply amazing!  We were recently chatting about weight loss, hitting a plateau and doing an easy cleanse for your body. Here’s my advice – start with something as simple as infusing your water to flush out your system. I use fresh lemons and cucumbers, and then add a drop of doTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil. It’s refreshing and easy to drink throughout the day. How easy is that? I recommend that you divide your weight in half, and then drink that many ounces a day — for example, if you weight 140 pounds, then you would drink 70 ounces of water a day. Toss the soda, artificially flavored (and colored) waters and save you system and your wallet by making your own infused water!

The second thing I’d like to share with you today is a book that I am currently reading that is just knocking my socks off!  It’s called The Fringe Hours.  In her book, Jessica Turner speaks to how we neglect ourselves and how critical it is to nurture and take care of ourselves, even in small ways, in the fringe moments.  One step I have taken towards a moment of self-care is to go outside for just five minutes, breathe, and lift my face to the sun.  I concentrate on feeling calm and peaceful, bring to mind several things for which I am grateful, and simply be in the moment.  Less than five minutes, and while it costs nothing, those moments are priceless.  Honestly, I walk away refreshed, renewed and restored by 300 seconds of time I gave myself.  Imagine that!  I also love to read but have a hard time discovering an hour here or there.  Resolution?  I got this book on sale for $2.99 (the Kindle version) and am listening to it in my car while driving (my Kindle Fire reads to me).

Again, let me ask you… do you have 300 seconds and $3 for yourself today?  Please… do these two things FOR YOU and you will not regret it.

Blessings for a beautiful (and self-nurturing) day!
