Monday Musings
Every year when we "spring forward," the first week is so hard, particularly the first day of the workweek. Everyone is dragging, and we're all a bit cranky. As the days and weeks go on, it becomes abundantly clear why we love the time change, but this morning, as we all reach for that extra cup of our favorite caffeinated beverage, remember that better and brighter days are on the horizon. And in case you need a little extra motivation today, you'll find it here in our Monday Musings.
Britt: Feeling like you may need a paint refresh in your home? Our recent favorites from Benjamin Moore are Classic Grey, Dove Wing, and Swiss Coffee!
Amy: While we do have traditional baskets in the shop, we just adore these Luggy Baskets. Perfect for filling with Easter treasures, but can be used to tote around treasures all year round! (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $80)
Adrien: We just SPRUNG forward! And I, for one, am thrilled to welcome warmer and longer days. The benefits of outdoor time in the sun are immeasurable, and there's no better time to get outside and step up your fitness routine.
Did you know that being outdoors: 1) boosts the immune system, 2) regulates hormones, 3) boosts serotonin to regulate moods and improve sleep, 4) increases Vitamin D, 5) helps our eyes focus on things more than a foot away (i.e., something other than a screen), 6) calms our stress response, 7) reduces worry, 8) increases opportunities for connecting with others, 9) connects us to the natural world around us, and 10) gives our brains a much-needed break from our screen.
