Learning to Trust the Process

As I prepare for Easter, I begin to relax for a bit before I continue on with my projects. Everything is coming together perfectly, and I'm glad I can say that in spite of many days where I thought I'd lose my mind!

The creative phase has moved into the production phase, although creativity doesn't cease once you tap into it, Ever! But I'm glad I'm following my dreams. I'm glad I'm moving forward with my desires. I have a vision, and I keep moving toward my goal. I have a target. I know I'll hit it...

The toughest part is learning to Trust the process. Trust. Surrender. Release control. Being slightly OCD, that's challenging, but necessary. That's how I have come up with so many ideas that feel right for me. Ideas that are easy for me to materialize. So I'm excited about all the new pages I'm adding to my life as entrepreneur and artist (in my own unique way) lol

What has been important so far, and what I need to maintain, is balance. While somethings take a little bit longer, I'm glad that my mental state is still in place. I have been meditating a lot more lately, and those results are priceless. Getting back to yoga too. I'm out of the box. Finally!

So stay tuned to my herbal products and embroidered goods. I'm so inspired!

Eternally grateful to the Cosmic Beloved for resting within me.

Feeling undeniably BLESSED. Hope you are too...

Peace.

Cleaner Beauty & The Story of Cosmetics

As a woman who likes the whole grooming and being 'girly' thing, it's really challenging to find products that are clean.

I want to look good as much as the next person, but not by compromising my health. I have given up a lot of my favorite products because now I know they are full of toxic chemicals. Yep. Hiding behind that synthetic fragrance and artificial color were toxins I can't begin to mention.

As I became savvier about labels and ingredients, both good & bad, I tossed many products that were unknowingly not up to my standards.

While I still have a couple of products that are not so clean, I'm well on my way to cosmetics recovery. Now, I'm opting for the ones that are as close to nature and as basic as possible. If I cant easily read it, much less pronounce it, it's not going on my skin. That's the easiest way to start.

Here are some links you'll find useful if, like myself, you are on the journey to cleaner beauty.
