1. Since sometimes I struggle with anxiety, I kind of went lavender crazy. I got cream, soap and candles. It's so relaxing, especially after a prayer time.
2. These are my favorite kinds of incense. The first one has about 6 different kinds of incense to chose from. Paul and I burn it in our bathroom during hard times;) It really makes the bathroom smell fresh.
3. I found this adorable fox IPhone case that brings me joy.
4. I've been burning blue candles because that is the color I think of most in January. Look how gorgeous the sunset was last night!
5. I made myself a scarf too just like yours. I also decided to support the state I'm living in by wearing their college football team's shirt.
6. These are some of my favorite groups I listen to in the winter. I always listen to different bands depending on the season. This season's bands include The Stray Birds, Mandolin Orange, Antje Duvekot and Fine Frenzy. I will make us a new playlist :) It's really hard to find songs by The Stray Birds on GrooveShark. They are probably my favorite band ever. Here is one of my favorites:
7. I made Spicy Tortilla Soup. You can add sour cream to the top and some cilantro as well. So healthy and so cozy.
8. Short Straw Farmhouse Red Ale is part of Blue Moon Expressionist Collection. I always pick beer based on what it looks like lol. This one looks cool and tastes. amazing. I think you'd enjoy it.
Here are some of my favorite Henri Nouwen and Thomas Merton Books:
Love this post.... I feel so close to you! I love all your favorites, your Fox iPhone case is sooo cute! and tortilla soup is one of my favorite! My other is Pasta e Fragioli from the Monastery Soups cookbook we have.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've read "the way of the heart" and the other one was "the life of the beloved" have you read? Both worth a re-read, some of yours are going on my to-read list!
