Aesthetic to Abundant Weekly

Hi, friend!

Are you cool as a cucumber going into the fall transition or is your head spinning like mine? HA! I’m telling you, that daily walk lowers my cortisol like nobody’s business.

So remember when I got extra weird and shared how I was doing new underarm care? I have something new and it’s way better.

I use a natural deodorant and I read that it can kind of leave a residue even with lots of scrubbing (I’m half Korean-I’m a scrubber). So I have started using Jojoba oil to break down any residue and then I scrub all that off with soap.

THEN twice a week I’m swiping this glycolic acid on (not after shaving) at night and rinsing it off in the morning.

I feel SO much fresher! Have you tried it?

An embarrassing breast feeding moment and how I’m accepting things that just seem annoying are on my mind this week.

The kids and their friends (and adults) have been loving these around here and they are going to school as snacks too. I use something similar to this.

2 ripe bananas mashed

2 cups blended oats (not super fine)

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 tablespoons Mini chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

Blob of honey (I added just a big squeeze from the bottle)

dash of salt

Mix, scoop (tightly) with a mini dough/ice cream style scoop onto wax paper tray, pop in freezer for about 15 mins. Melt peanut butter and chocolate chips together in a bowl to create a dollop on each one then freeze again to set the chocolate.

Store in fridge. Eat within a few days.

Based on this recipe but I made so many changes!

So I got this laptop and it has the coolest feature-you can use your thumbprint to unlock the screen. Well, it’s cool until it stops working because you had some crazy thumb eczema/dry skin thing that like changed your fingerprints.

It was a graduation party and someone’s little kid fell and scraped his knee. Another mom, “a pro mom,” made a bandaid appear and asked if anyone had a lollipop. BAM: crying stopped, happy kid and the adult party continued without a hitch.

Have a great week! If you’re not already following along on Instagram and YouTube. Come join the fun!

Love,
