FEATHERING THE NEST

Hello Lovelies!

I'm so happy to be back in this space sharing my newest program! For those of you who don't know, I’m Stephanie, a certified holistic health and lifestyle coach and one half of the team Feathering the Nest, an e-course I developed with the lovely Leah Kent of Skill It. Leah and I both have backgrounds in the arts as well as plenty of hours logged in the kitchen developing recipes for our clients. We were drawn together by our shared passion for making our homes into nurturing soul spaces. We believe that the things you choose to surround yourself with have a profound affect on your mind and body. We want your home to not only reflect the beauty inside of you, but nourish and give back to you, in a way that will transform how you move into each day.

Feathering the Nest will be an eclectic two week journey through your home, a sensual path to self discovery. We will be creating beautiful things for our homes with our own hands, getting cozy with really fun and intuitive writing exercises and cooking up some delicious recipes. You’ll also receive beautiful printables to use over and over as you explore your nesting style. We are going beyond just aesthetics and finding our own unique path by tapping into feng shui, chakra wisdom and other beloved eastern philosophies. You’ll also gain entrance into a sacred online space to share your experience, pictures and inspirations with kindred souls. We LOVE this bit of the program! It is pure joy to watch the before and afters float in and have the whole group rally around each other.

Whether your space is large or small, rented or owned, we think you are going to love learning how to infuse each corner with your essence to create a sanctuary for you and all who inhabit it. To learn even more, visit us over on the class site!

Today we are excited to announce that we are giving away a chance to win ONE seat in the class to one of you (a $59 value)!

Just head on over to the giveaway here.

THREADS // CROCHET MINI DRESS

When I first got this dress, I had every intention to play with shibori dying it, but I ended up loving it so much just like it is, I'm going to pass and do that with something else.  I may eventually, but for now I'm going to enjoy it as is.  I guess really, its not a dress.  It's really a tunic.  I think its going to be super cute over leggings and skinny jeans this fall too.  If you want to see another cute way to style it, check out my friend Katelyn wearing the same top here.   It's currently on sale and they only have 9 left in stock! 

In other news... Bella got into a cat fight yesterday and has not been feeling well since.  I'll be taking her to the vet tomorrow to get checked out.  You can just tell by looking at her she doesn't feel well.  She was going to be going to the vet anyway to get her blood drawn b/c when she went in for her groom last week I asked them to check her weight b/c she has felt lighter to me, and just different, and sure enough she had lost almost 3 pounds since just a few months ago.  We are going to get her blood tested to see if she might have diabetes or anything else.  Fingers crossed its not lymphoma or anything like that.   

I too have been feeling like my body wants to get sick this week.  Allergies have my face all achy and I can feel it creeping in.  Of course the week before we are suppose to take a little vaca, our car breaks down, my cat gets sick, and I might get sick.  Uhhh... no!  Trying to take everything one thing at a time.  This week might be a little nuts, so Ive made myself a huge list of all the things that need to get done.  James and his friend are at pick 'n' pull right now trying to locate some parts for our car.  Hopefully they find them b/c they are expensive new.   

I'm going to try to remain grateful, positive and hopeful throughout the week.  No room for stressing out.  Sometimes life just hands you obstacles and it's up to you to figure out how to make it work. *exhale* 

ANNIVERSARY SALE

This month is James and I's 6 year anniversary, on the 22nd, the Autumn Equinox.  We will be taking a mini vacation for the first time for our anniversary since we've been married, minus our two year late honeymoon stay we took (30 minutes away from our house).  Ha ha.  We usually just go get pizza at our favorite pizza joint every year.  So this year, I'm pretty stoked!   

We are having a week long sale to raise a bit of funds for our trip.  Our one car decided to break down on us this week (of course) , so we are needing to fix it up before we hit the road.  I really want to take a little trip without being stressed about finances the whole time, how fun would that be?  So, b/c of this, you get a deal!  I'm going to try to add new things to the shop throughout the week as well!  Enjoy the sale, and thank you in advance!

Use the code 'septlove' to get 30% off your entire order in any of our shops.  If you buy from more than one of our shops we will combine your shipping and refund you.  Please enter the code at checkout in the discount box, not in the notes to seller.  You should see your discount before you pay for it to work!

Spontaneous River Walk

The other night, I opened the door as the sun was going down, there was a beautiful slight chill in the air and it just felt like a moment I wanted to embrace in nature.  So I told James I wanted to go walk down by the river.  So we went.  The sun was down within 30 minutes, so it was a quick one, but it was a magic time.  As the sun goes over the horizon you can hear the bugs chorus get louder and louder, things start to feel slightly exhilarating because you can't quite see everything in all of the tall bushes.  It was a refreshing 30 minutes spent taking in the beauty and feel of the oncoming night.  Mmmmmmmmmmm....
