<p>My mind is so full of cluttery thoughts, to-do lists, and mental reminders all circling and dancing around in my head.  So much so that I want to slow down and share with you a little bit of what&#8217;s going on in my life now.  I used to do this much more before I divided my sites&#8230;not that I regret that, but I&#8217;d like to start writing occasionally about myself again and this is the site that started it all and where I feel most at home. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />  Ya&#8217;ll are great readers, really, you are!  Every little comment, like, and email mean so much to me.  Thank you!  I truly appreciate you, every one of you!</p>
<p><strong>My 5 Things!</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/eos-visibly-soft-coconut-milk.png"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19134" src="https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/eos-visibly-soft-coconut-milk.png" alt="eos visibly soft coconut milk" width="319" height="230" srcset="https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/eos-visibly-soft-coconut-milk.png 319w, https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/eos-visibly-soft-coconut-milk-300x216.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px" /></a></p>
<p>1.  I am in love with this <strong><a href="http://amzn.to/1PXKVHp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">eos visibly soft lip balm</a></strong>, made with coconut milk.  I&#8217;ve tried a few of them before and none of them compare to the lusciousness of this one.  Plus, the design of the sphere is adorable!</p>
<p><a href="https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11893730_10153313627202182_712324764577217721_o.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-19137" src="https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11893730_10153313627202182_712324764577217721_o.jpg" alt="More Treasure in Books" width="679" height="1019" srcset="https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11893730_10153313627202182_712324764577217721_o.jpg 750w, https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11893730_10153313627202182_712324764577217721_o-200x300.jpg 200w, https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11893730_10153313627202182_712324764577217721_o-683x1024.jpg 683w" sizes="(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px" /></a></p>
<p>2.  I started selling <strong><a href="https://consultantid.myubam.com/125212" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Usborne books</a></strong> because I LOVE their books for kids.  I love literacy and instilling a love of reading in my children.  However, I&#8217;m torn because the more Facebook parties I host the less time I have to spend blogging and that is my true love.  I&#8217;m struggling to find a good balance.  Sigh.  All of life is a balancing act, isn&#8217;t it?  Maybe I should just stick to blogging and write about their books occasionally?  Hmm. I&#8217;m not sure.</p>
<p>3.  I&#8217;m moving soon&#8230;I hope!  We&#8217;ve bought a new house and we&#8217;re fixing up the place so we can hopefully move in at the end of this month.  Which means I&#8217;m packing like a mad woman and purging a LOT of our things.  I&#8217;m constantly asking myself, &#8220;Why do we own this?&#8221; and &#8220;Where did this come from?&#8221;</p>
<p>4.  I just finished watching the series finale of <strong><a href="http://amzn.to/1Nec1e5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Drop Dead Diva</a></strong> on Netflix and I can&#8217;t stop wondering what the next season would be like if it came back for a seventh season.  I put off watching the <strong><a href="http://amzn.to/1Nec1e5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sixth season</a></strong> because I liked having more of the story left to see and now it&#8217;s gone.  Bring it back, <strong><a href="http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/drop-dead-diva" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Lifetime</a></strong>!</p>
<p><a href="https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Crayola-Oil-Pastels.png"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19139" src="https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Crayola-Oil-Pastels.png" alt="Crayola Oil Pastels" width="370" height="387" srcset="https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Crayola-Oil-Pastels.png 370w, https://embracingbeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Crayola-Oil-Pastels-287x300.png 287w" sizes="(max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px" /></a></p>
<p>5.  I&#8217;ve recently discovered <strong><a href="http://amzn.to/1UCUSvb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">oil pastels</a></strong>!  I feel like I&#8217;ve lived in a cave.  How did I not hear of these before?!  They are incredible!  They are what I always wished crayons were.  They&#8217;re soft, give a rich color, are blendable and yea, I just love using them to create colorful masterpieces with my daughter.  I bought the 28 pack of the Crayola brand for under $5 shipped from <strong><a href="http://amzn.to/1UCUSvb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a></strong>.  Love them!</p>
<p>I may make this a regular thing, listing 5 things I love.  What do you think?  Is it worth reading or should I just write it out for myself then erase it?  <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />  Either way, have a good day!</p>
