Hi! How're you?

Although the weather's been fluctuating even more lately, we are still in the depths of winter. However, it doesn't mean we can't start putting ourselves in the mindset of a new season. This can be a time that we start new habits, enhance our environment or food choices, or boost relationships. I've brought together several ideas to "Keep It Fresh." Check below. And, if you have some "Thinking Spring" ideas - please let me know. Until next time . . . . .

Live Your Happy.

TIME SAVERS

If you're like me, life is often SO MUCH TO DO...AND SO LITTLE TIME. This feeling that we lack the time to accomplish our tasks can drain our mental energy and increase anxiety. Plus studies show our fast-paced and screen-saturated lives,is even decreasing our attention span. 

SHAKING THINGS UP

We can so easily find ourselves in a rut and not even know it if we keep doing the same old thing.  Indeed. If we keep doing what we're doing we'll keep getting what we've got. See what I did lately to SHAKE THINGS UP.

SURPRISINGLY HEALTHY FOODS

POPCORN.  Junk food, right? Not always! sometimes be loaded with some vitamins and more that can actually be good for us.  And there are even MORE FOOD SURPRISES!.

COOL WAYS TO SHOW YOUR LOVE

I just got this special postcard from a very dear friend. And, I'll probably keep on display for months along with some of the other cards she's sent. Valentine's Day is once a year - but there are so many ways we can show our love year-round -  with family and friends. Here are 9 COOL WAYS to show your friends you love them.

7 ROOM REFRESH IDEAS TO "STEAL"

A quick room refresh can be a great Happiness booster - even if it's some simple, yet clever approaches to underused corners, or other overlooked areas. Here 7 designers provide inspiration for your own home-reno dreams.  We don't have to directly duplicate them, but maybe find some ideas to "steal."

BLACK HISTORY MONTH STREAMING CALENDAR 

To celebrate Black History Month, networks and streaming platforms are offering custom slates of films, TV series, documentaries, and specials that honor the Black experience. The streamers have gathered their titles together in entertainment hubs that feature Black performances, artistry, storytelling, and more. These collections are highlighted for February, but it's good to know that many of the spotlight titles are available for viewing year-round.
