Awesome find!

I wanted to share something with you that has nothing to do with sewing, fabric or my shop. Basically, one of the things that I have been struggling with lately is remembering whether or not I've taken my medicine. I literally find myself dumping out my medication and counting it at least 3 times a week lately because I just can't remember if I already took it or not. Silly, right?? Well, people keep suggesting that I get one of those pill boxes with the days of the week and just use that to help me remember. I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it. It makes me feel like if I go and buy one, I suddenly turn from 29 to 89 with that one small purchase. So, I've just continued to struggle. Well, yesterday, I was in Seaport Village with a friend when I stumbled upon the solution!
While in Urban Girl Accessories, my friend found the cutest pill case ever. It's made by Fluff, and I love it. I do get that if you take the pill case out of the fun zippered pouch it's in, it is one of those plain boring pill cases, but that fact that it's hidden just makes me feel better about it.

As I mentioned in my first post, I have some medical issues. I have good days, and bad days. On my good days, it's almost like there is nothing wrong with me at all, but on my days, things can get pretty tough. For the most part, I've learned to accept my limitations and how to cope with them. One thing that I do struggle with however, is the idea of not doing anything. Even when I know that I need to be taking it easy or resting, I feel like there is something that I can be doing. I spend time re-editing pictures, or promoting my shop on my twitter page, or my facebook fan page. . I always feel like, no matter how I'm feeling, there's always something that I can be doing. Obviously, this isn't good for me, or for health. Just relaxing is hard for me, and it always has been, but LilacAve on etsy helps me do this.

I met LilacAve when I joined the Homefront Team. She is a Navy wife, and wonderful mom to two adorable kids. Not to mention, she makes my favorite candles. Her candles are soy, which burns cleaner, and lasts longer, and she uses unique and different containers to house these wonderful candles.





LilacAve also makes soy tarts, which are my latest love. These tarts not only smell fantastic, but they are inexpensive and they last a really long time. When I want to change scents, I just stick my tart burner in the freezer for about 10 minutes, pop out the current wax, and pop in a new tart. Easy!!





So, be sure to check her out on Etsy or even on 1000Markets, and check back often, since she's always adding new goodies!!
