Something about me is I love to sit on the floor. Even subconsciously I'll sometimes choose the floor over a couch, chair or, well, bed. I think it started when I had our oldest daughter and I found myself sitting on the floor to play with her and be closer to her. And now, 9 years later--I'm still doing it. When Chris catches me (especially by myself with no kids in sight), he always makes a comment that gets me laughing.
This week we got this new Sarah Sherman Samuels X Lulu & Georgia rug in. It was originally going to be for Greta's room but I couldn't resist trying it in our room and eeeks, I love it. However it's definitely one of those rugs that would look good anywhere. I love the softer color way with an oatmeal background and warm brown stripes. We got a 9x12 and I ordered this rug pad for underneath (that's still en route). I think it will probably end up in one of the girls' rooms--but new carpet is coming first. And if you're curious my opinion on rugs over carpet--FOR IT! Especially in kid rooms.
Other fun things this week:
• These Birkenstock knock-off House Slippers are exacccctttly what I've been looking for.
• We've been pretty gung ho on a black exterior, but then I stumbled upon this dark gray one from Muskoka Living and I'm so sure this is what I want (plus stone). Swoon
• The Disney Live Action Remake Machine takes it too far
• My go-to afternoon snack when I need a crunch? These Grain Free No Cheese Paleo Cheese Puffs. Even my sister who doesn't have any dietary restrictions loved them.
• Most asked for source this week? This spotted sweater I wore. (I love the sides! wear a med)
• Almost a year ago, I got put on some thyroid medication that didn't agree with me. And it took me and my medical team 6 months to get me off of it and switched over. The main issue was it made me break out like I have never experienced. Ever since, I have been working with an aesthetician to get my skin clear again and reverse any scarring. We're almost there, but right before a big video shoot we were having, I could feel my cheek on the verge of a zit. A deep one. It's the last thing I needed, so I went to her in a panic and said--I need this gone in 2 days! She gave me a small sample of professional grade CBD oil and, I'm not kidding!, it never showed up. It disappeared. I rubbed the oil all over my face morning and night for as long as the sample lasted and my face has NEVER been so clear. It was a professional product, so I don't have a link to it, but I put a call out to our Instagram followers and these were the top 4 CBD Face Oils you all recommended:
Herbivore Emerald Hemp Seed Deep Moisture Glow Oil
Kiehl's Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Herbal Concentrate (the one I just ordered! It's specifically for problem skin and has so many great reviews!)
GlyMed Plus Professional CBD Booster
