Chronicling the following: Unicorn Space, 75 Holistic, and being a new mom to two

 I feel like it's easy to create goals, but a lot harder to stick to them! You get caught up in the daily grind or something *happens* and you never get back into it (whatever IT may be). 

I had a baby almost 3 months ago and I also have a 3 year old, so life is a little hectic and crazy. I also lost my dad about a year and a half ago and that was a huge mental load in many ways. Even though my baby is still young, I want to really start reaching the goals that I set for myself in order to 1. set a good example for my family, 2. be the best mama I can be (and I can only do that if I am participating in some self-care and making time for myself) and 3. well I mean who doesn't like accomplishing things? 4. be set up for success once life gets "easier" 

To start, I am going to add journaling to my unicorn space goals. I want to do more than that, but I think it's a good way to get my creative juice flowing and I can figure out what I would like to do next. Ideas include: felt crowns/crafts/embroidery, cross stitch, learning guitar, preschool program, and capsule wardrobe program. I've dabbled in all of them and enjoy them, but I never really focus enough time on anything to produce something worth sharing. We'll see. I also think some sort of dance would be fun, like an aerobic style dance class or something. 

Also, I am doing a 75 holistic challenge hosted by someone I follow on Instagram. It will help me be more intentional with my diet and lifestyle. It will basically set me up for success with my self-care goals because it will get me journaling everyday, reading, drinking more water, exercising, and eating well. 

I'm also planning on doing a 9x9 capsule challenge and possibly doing a challenge put on by the company woolx where you wear the same thing for either 30 or 100 days! I get spit up on a lot right now though, so that isn't so practical for me at the moment. 

All of this to say, I'm excited!! And I hope that writing about it will hold me more accountable. But knowing me, I'll write 1-3 blogs about it, then it'll fall off the radar. Maybe things will be different this time!

Britton Bigfoot Basecamp

 FUN NEWS!  We bought a pop up camper!  And we named her the Britton Bigfoot Basecamp. Eliza is currently obsessed with Bigfoot so it felt right. We did ask ChatGPT for some name suggestions, but Alex and I came up with this on our own! I told ChatGPT that we are a family of 4 with two young girls looking for a name for our new pop up camper. We love music and the outdoors, and our 3 year old loves Bigfoot! Some of my fave Chat suggestions were Pop goes the Brittons, Popped and Rocked, In Tune and In Tents, Off Key and Off Road, but Alex wasn't thrilled with them. Luckily, some of the Chat's suggestions inspired us to where we ended up!  We are going to chronicle our renovation of the pop up, which is luckily in amazing condition. We also want to try not to spend an exorbitant amount of money, so I think I'll also share what we are spending along the way.  First up is cleaning! I have spent about $40 on a cleaner that gets rid of mildew, a mop for cleaning the c...

Deodorant Review!

For quite a few years actually I have been on the hunt for the perfect deodorant. I decided to go with a natural and cruelty-free deodorant instead of an antiperspirant around 4 or 5 years ago. Deodorant is used to reduce odor using antibacterial ingredients and antiperspirant reduces odor and sweat by closing sweat ducts. Aluminum is the ingredient found in antiperspirants to block underarm sweat, and 4 to 5 years ago I believed that it could cause breast cancer and Alzheimer's. I have since researched it on my own, and found that while there is no conclusive evidence that the toxins found in most antiperspirants and deodorants are harmful to our health, why risk it? At the end of the day, I want to use as many natural & cruelty-free products and consume as much unprocessed foods as I possibly can.  An easy way to do that is by switching out my beauty products for ones that have as few ingredients as possible and GOOD ingredients that are all natural.  All natural a...
