Coloring to Unplug with Adult Coloring Pages

//  by 

This weekend is National day of unplugging. Honestly, I'm in desperate need of more unplugging time so I'm signing up and dedicating myself to be offline this unplugging day. My plan is to spend it spring cleaning, planning, creating and coloring to unplug. How do you spend your time offline? Lately I've been creating in my planners. So much that I started a new YouTube channel just for planning, and creative stuff. My current set up is 3 planners, which seemed excessive initially but is …

//  by 

Sharing my 30 minute yogalates workout. Typically I'm a high-energy person but somedays (ie: most of winter) I struggle. On those days I have what I call my MVW. A minimum viable workout that I do to check my workout off my to-do list. It's a more mindful exercise class that's slow and allows me to go inwards while working on maintenance without going "hard". Don't be fooled it's not 'easy'. The challenge here is staying mindful and seeing it through! If you can’t view the embedded video …
