Great idea for a contest, what a sweet giveaway and CONGRATULATIONS!!! Resteemed!

Okay after thinking hard about my life for a few moments I have narrowed it down to the core things that I consider ultimate self care.

Since we moved out of the forest and into the sunny valley and began farming full time our days involve lots of walking back and forth on the same little trails on our stead. (Hither to feed the chickens, thither to the garden to do some work, back to the greenhouse to grab the shovel I forgot, into the house as the shovel finally touches soil- little ones are hungry again- time to get them another snack, haha) All the while in the sunshine. So- I find myself craving the forest again and the green shady trees and the soft bare soil trails on my feet... So going for a long walk in the woods lights me up inside. It totally recharges me!!!

Also taking hot baths with herbs, a few drops of lavender oil, beeswax candles lit, and magnesium flakes... THIS is ultimate self care for me, it definitely recharges me and lights me up inside!!

and lastly... Hanging out by a fire with my dye pots simmering away... yarns soaking up herbal color... Stirring the pots, peeking at the fiber to see how the color is developing, and ultimately- pulling the yarn out of the pots to see the results!... that is self care and really lights me up inside!!!
