Challenge :: September

I've decided on a challenge for this September. I'm going to take on the 30 Day Yoga Challenge with Erin Motz and DoYouYoga. Here’s four reasons why:

I’ve started this challenge before, but never finished it.

I would like to start working on a daily fitness routine.

Yoga is a gentle way to get moving and connected every day.

Erin Motz is an amazing yoga instructor, even when separated by a screen.

If you'd like to join me or just try the challenge for yourself, the sign-up page can be found here! I'll be posting weekly blog updates on my progress to keep myself accountable. Let's do this!

Seeking :: Suggestions from Ladies

Ladies, I'll be honest with you. Every month, my cramps are awful. When regulated with hormonal birth control I can avoid going to the ER, but they still hurt. For some reason, this month I have been incapacitated for two days instead of the usual one. I get awful heartburn from ibuprofen, advil, and some types of Midol.

Currently, I use heat and essential oils to ease my cramps. My go-to options are ThermaCare heat wraps for my lower back (and even with the coupons, these are quite expensive) and Lunaroma Menstrual Cramp Relief Aroma.

Do you have a holy-grail product that you use during that time of the month? I'm looking for suggestions for new products to try. I need to mix things up a bit, and try something new. Let me know in the comments if you have any suggestions!

Lists :: September Project

I consider fall to be my springtime - a fresh start and a chance for new beginnings. I'm trying to decide on which 30 day project to kick off fall with. I already have a few daily personal challenges I will be locking down on, but I would like to complete a structured 30 day challenge as well. Some options I have been mulling over include:

1. Blogilates Beginner Calendar
2. One Month Spending Freeze
3. The 30 Day Minimalism Game
4. 30-Day Yoga Challenge with Erin Motz
5. 30 Day Meditation Challenge

I'll decide on a project for September by this Sunday!
