Friday Faves

Hello, hello, and happy TGI-fall-Friday!

With October-ween here in it’s leaf-changing prime, it’s prime-time for all of us to turn a new leaf, too. With only 81 days to Christmas and 89 days to 2019, why wait to start resolutions ?

I’m taking the rest of 2018 one month and one day at a time. Eating better. Exercising more. Being more appreciative of my husband and more patient with my daughter—and myself.

They’re all habits I’m continually working on.

One of my favorite monthly themes in my 2018 Nourished Planner is October’s theme on habit formation. In fact, it is such a popular theme we expanded on it even more in the 2019 Jan-Dec printed planner.

And I want you to experience it too. But I don’t want you to fully commit without trying it out for free first. 

I want you to see for yourself why I love this planner so much. That’s why you an try the Nourished Planner for free with this free sample week download. I want you to give it a spin and see the possibilities of making it a part of your daily routine.

Each of 2019’s monthly tips, action steps, and challenges teach how to under-schedule your life, create balance through habits, and plan your days, weeks, and months, with intention to achieve your goals. Plus we’ve added more meal planning space, a daily appointment scheduler, and we’ve brought back the fitness tracker, too.

The pre-launch of the 2019 Jan-Dec Nourished Planner is going on now.

To celebrate, we’re offering the planner at 25% off PLUS free shipping. You won’t see the price this low again—not even on Black Friday.

The planners will ship mid-November but this serious discount will end October 14.

I love my planner and I use it every day. That’s why I want you to try it too. You deserve a tool as simple as this to make life easier, and make more time to turn your have-tos into want-tos.

Order your Nourished Planner today at 25% off PLUS free shipping. And naturally, they make very thoughtful gifts for others, too.

Ali Smudge is going as Post Malone for Halloween. He’s making it easy for her because he’s selling his own temporary tattoos. This is gonna be epic.

Sidenote: I totally don’t get what’s up with the face tattoos.

I need to make a beauty run and replenish my stock of:

• My fave eyebrow pencil
• My fave Korean face wash (it leaves my face so soft!)
• And because I am obsessed with Korean skin care, I’ll likely be buying every one of these 2018 award winners. 
• Update: Smudge highly approves of her new eyebrow gel.

Love this kimono top. Dress it up, dress it down.

Another day, another rainbow sweater.
