The Five Tibetan Rites


Recently I learned about The Five Tibetan Exercises. This is a great way to get going in the morning when you have very little time. This 10 minutes helps you get jump started...get your body functioning like a yoga cup of coffee. I really enjoy a full hour of yoga, but some days it is just not going to happen. Especially this week with this sinus infection. Not healthy. Any exercise seems stressful. So, enter The 5 Tibetans. A quick, less stressful way to stretch, tone, and stimulate the seven key chakras (if you're into that sort of thing). Here's a link to more information, printable pages, and full description of each short exercise: http://www.lifeevents.org/5-tibetans-energy-rejuvenation-exercises.htm

Pinterest

Have you seen Pinterest? I love this site. You can create pin boards that reflect your style, your tastes, your loves, your inspirations. Create your own wish board, gift ideas, home decor ideas, whatever you want. Then look around at other people's boards and revel in the beauty. You can "follow" other pin boards that you like. Come back and check in on your board when you need a pick-me-up or a little creativity boost. Create your own inspiration collection! Check it out at http://pinterest.com. If you want to follow me, I'm soaprehab. Naturally.

Indie Find: Good4You Herbs and Teas



I love my morning cup. I like to vary it up between coffee and tea. What I also love about tea is all the varieties that are caffeine free so I can enjoy them in the evening as well. I have purchased several teas from Good4You on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/good4you and enjoyed them all. They had a deal on Heartsy last week, so I stocked up. (Not familiar with Heartsy? Super discounts from Etsy shops! http://heartsy.me) You can order either loose teas or bags, whichever you prefer. I use a lot of loose teas but decided to try some bags this time. With great names and super fab artwork, this is a fun shop to browse. And excellent customer service makes it a breeze to purchase as well. Some varieties include: pure bliss chai, simmer down, wake up & live, for spring sniffles (speaking of Spring sniffles, we have some of that around our house right now, should have put that one in my cart!), and dream tea. If you are a tea lover, I highly recommend Good4You teas.
