Happy Birthday Month to Me!

ERTH Family· Self Care

After 2 serious posts by Deena and I, I felt the urge to type something a little more lighthearted. 

This month I celebrate another year of life.  At one time, this was exciting…one more year closer to independence, adulthood, maturity.  Now it’s just one more year of getting older and celebrating is totally overrated.  But I’ve found a way to look on the bright side.

I just got the mail and guess what I discovered in my mailbox of surprises (you just never know what you’re going to get, right?)?  First, my Silpada ring that I ordered at a Silpada party I hosted last week (which raised $350 for the MDA Walk I might add!).  

Gorgeous!  The picture doesn’t do it justice.  Happy Birthday month to me.

I also received what looked like a card but it was a coupon…not $.50 or $1.00 off some grocery store product, but a $20, yes I said $20, coupon for the Vera Bradley outlet.  Score!  It was in the form of a birthday card and is good for the entire month of April.  Happy Birthday month to me!

So then I started thinking about all the coupons I have received in the past couple weeks for giving out my email address to stores, risking loads and loads of junk email, that are just because I am turning a year older this month and I came up with the following:

$5 off at DSW shoes – momma needs a new pair of shoes!

20% off at Misguided Angels, which is a boutique store near me where I will be purchasing these jeans after much convincing from friends

$10 off at Victoria’s Secret (wait, is that for my birthday or the hubby’s??)

Update:  I have also received $20 off at Sunglass Hut, which couldn’t be more perfect because sporty sunglasses is on my birthday wish list!  And I just got $10 off my next Origins order of $25 or more.  Happy birthday month to me!!

I’m sure there are more I’m forgetting, and the month is not over, so there may be more in my future.  But it definitely puts a brighter prospective on this whole aging thing.  I guess eventually these coupons will turn into senior citizen discounts, but let’s take it one year at a time. 

Anywho, how does all this relate to my Everyday Road to Healthy?  Why any girl knows that retail therapy is a HUGE stress reliever which is good for the mind and soul!  Unless of course you are shopping for jeans or bathing suits, which could get rather depressing. 

Anyway, Happy Birthday month to me!

☘️Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ I’m we ☘️Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ 

I’m wearing my green today and preparing to make some corned beef and cabbage for dinner, but what is this day about? Here are some fun facts:
☘️
What are we celebrating? St Patrick’s Day commemorates the patron saint of Ireland, a missionary who brought Christianity to Ireland. It is celebrated on March 17th, which is the day he is believed to have died.
☘️
Why shamrocks? St. Patrick used the 3-leaf shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.
☘️
Why green? Green has tradition in Ireland but an old folklore states that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns. If they can see you, they will pinch you! 
☘️
Why corned beef and cabbage?  Well, corned beef and cabbage is NOT the traditional dish in Ireland! When Irish immigrants came to America, they couldn’t afford the more traditional pork and bacon, so they used the cheapest cut of meat they could find, beef brisket. So corned beef (not in any way related to corn but is a reference to the brine) and the inexpensive vegetable, cabbage, became the celebration dish of choice. (Side note, if you are Catholic and St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Friday during Lent, like today, diocese will usually issue a dispensation from abstinence, which means meat can be eaten today.  So queue the corned beef!).

Because I love this quote so much, I had to upgrad Because I love this quote so much, I had to upgrade it from a story to a post. Michelle Yeoh, 60 years old, is the first Asian woman to win an Oscar for best actress for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once. 🏆What an inspiration! 💗 And not to be overshadowed, Jaime Lee Curtis won her first Oscar for a supporting role in the same movie. She is 64.

🌟It’s never too late!🌟

Happy New Year! I’ve been a little absent becaus Happy New Year! I’ve been a little absent because I started the year off with a cold that left me tired and unmotivated. But I’m feeling better and starting my goal tracking a little late. I thought it would be helpful to combine all our goal trackers into one file for easy downloading and printing. The link to the all-in-one file can be found in our profile @everydayroadtohealthy ☝🏼. Swipe to see January printed at 75% and taped inside my planner. I’m hoping this works better for me this year!
💚 Start where you are. 🤎
