Mindfulness ✪

To be conscious or aware of something

If you can't tell, I'm particularly loving springtime this year. 🌷

What can you do this week to really celebrate spring?

Can you plant some flowers or buy a nice arrangement? Bake some lemon poppy seed or blueberry muffins? Get outside on a walk or play some Pickleball? Treat yourself to a little springtime treat this week.

Mentionable ✪

Refer to something briefly without going into detail. Important or noteworthy, memorable

This week's "Better for Me, Better for the Environment" we're highlighting my runner up to vinegar. Another affordable, low chemical alternative household cleaner is Baking Soda. Check out this Southern Living article for ways you can start using baking soda instead of harsh, expensive chemical alternatives!

Also, had to throw in this quick article from Morning Brew about Lunchables that came out last week about the recommendation "from USDA remove Lunchables from the National School Lunch Program due to high lead levels". 👀

Motivation ✪

Meant to inspire: being mentally stimulated to do or feel something

Can't get enough of these spring florals everywhere 🤩, so thought this quote was quite fitting and an excellent reminder to stop and smell the roses:

"You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry. Don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way." — Walter Hagen 💐
