Vegan Hot Chocolate and a Moment with JORD

Over the last two weeks life for me has been a little crazy. My son’s football season is coming to an end, my day job is ending its fiscal year, and my blog life has become extremely busy…now I am not complaining about any of this because being busy is not necessarily a bad thing. However when life gets busy and crazy that is the time to really pay close attention and practice self care as often as possible.

I know…I know…when life gets busy this is not always easy to do, but I am telling you that it will make a huge difference in your day and help you to achieve everything that is on your to do list. Seriously you cannot be at your best if you are overwhelmed and stressed out and I am guilty as well of not pouring into myself as much as I need to, but one way that I love to spend a few minutes with myself is by placing my phone on silent, pouring myself a hot beverage like some vegan hot chocolate, and sitting down for 15 to 30 minutes doing something like journaling, meditating, or just doodling allowing my mind to wander in complete freedom.

And since JORD Wood Watches sent me the most gorgeous watch from their FRANKIE series in Zebrawood and Champagne, I am completely loving keeping up with my moments of self care on it.  This watch is comfortable, uncomplicated, and a unique way for me to keep up with time throughout the day and since I have been so busy lately, keeping up with time is a complete must.

If you love this watch half as much as I do, then by all means you do not want to miss out on the chance to win some savings on the purchase of your very own. What I am saying is that my friends over at JORD Wood Watches are giving you the chance to win a $75 e-gift code for their shop to use towards the purchase of your unique watch AND everyone that enters will be the winner of a $20 e-gift code automatically emailed to you upon entering!
