Hope everyone has had a good weekend!

I learned something new from my therapist that made me really happy!

Some background: I'm horrible at meditating. Like, the worst. I tell myself to sit down and really give it a shot, then I find my mind wandering. I try to let the thoughts go and focus on my breathing. After a few minutes of doing this over and over, I basically get bored and give up.

Well, I recently started taking ceramics classes over the summer and I. LOVE. IT. These classes make me feel so relaxed and keep me "in the moment" - something I usually struggle with. I told my therapist about the classes because of how much I'm enjoying them and she told me something I wasn't expecting - ceramics is a form of meditation! For weeks I had been practicing a form of mediation and had no idea!

Turns out there are LOADS of other activities that are similar to mediation! Coloring, walking, horseback riding, yoga, swimming, dancing - even drumming - are all alternative options to meditation that provide similar benefits! So, if you're meditation-ally challenged like myself, you may want to try one of these practices!

Just wanted to share in case it helps anyone else because this was such a revelation for me! 😊 On to the skincare...

' Superfood Midnight Facial is a cream that I've enjoyed reaching for at night - and not just for it's Barbie pink jar!

This prebiotic overnight sleeping cream makes my skin feel SUPER soft. It's so nourishing and is great for replenishing moisture overnight. It's not too thick, which makes it a fantastic night cream for warmer months. It also smells INCREDIBLE! I have no idea how to describe the scent... it's a not-too-sweet and subtle fruit-like smell. Whatever it is - IT'S GOOD!

My skin looks brighter and hydrated the day after I use this Barbiecore-reminiscent cream. While it coooouuld be used during the day, I prefer to keep this strictly in my PM routine.
