It’s been a really busy day but want to take a deep breath and (quickly) share a few things I’m grateful for today. When life gets crazy, it’s always good to focus on our blessings, right?  That’s what I tell myself at least.

I am grateful for things like San Diego sunshine, palm trees, and abundant flowers.

I’m grateful for my Enjoy Shampoo

Enjoy shampoo and conditionerDear God, my hair was greasy and needed a wash. But natural oils are good for it, right?  <– That’s what I keep telling myself plus think of all that time I saved!  And, that’s what pony tails are for on days 2, 3, and ahem day 4, right?  Finally, clean hair today!  You can take me out in public again.

I’m grateful for fresh grapes

And I’m grateful for microwave snacks that combine chocolate and peanut butter.

Thanks for your comments on my previous post with the On A Stick! cookbook review.  I adore Matt and love food on a stick.  Sounds like most of you love food-on-a-stick, too.  It’s just more fun!

Questions:

1. What are you grateful for today?

2. Any quick fixes that have helped you out today or recently?

P.S. I’m grateful for everyone who’s excited about entering my Coconut Oil Giveaway

  1. I am very grateful for fresh grapes too! I just bought the crispiest ones ever. I am also thankful for all summer fruits, especially peaches and apricots.

  2. I’m grateful my wife is feeling better after a tough 10 day long cleanse. Beautiful pictures, thanks for the inspiration!

  3. I’m grateful that even though it’s 94 degrees today (I don’t have air), it’s supposed to be 75 degrees tomorrow :)
    But on a serious note, I’m grateful that was able to enjoy the sunrise driving to work this morning, share my thoughts and rambles in a blog that has introduced me to so many wonderful people and of course, Sunbutter and banana sandwiches on toasted Ezekiel bread. Always.

  4. I am so grateful for the wonderful friends I have on the blog sphere. (Including you my love). After becoming a little discouraged by some negative comments, the people who actually care and love me always prove to be the ones that actually matter. :) <3 you girl!
