Half-a-Hippie: Notice to Vacate

Notice to Vacate

The last few weeks have been crazy stressful. Work is bananas, travel with babies, weddings, baby showers and always laundry, laundry, laundry. And then more laundry. And dishes.

If we are friends, you may remember that we sold our home 48 hours after listing it 4th of July weekend last year. Ellis was 8 months old, I was 4 months pregnant and we had to move. Quick. We found a rental home we actually really liked and settled in and waited for Lucy to arrive. I just finished hanging curtains after 11 months of living here - I've been kinda busy. We decided to go ahead and rent for another year because the market in Austin is a seller's market - prices are soaring and we'd prefer to buy low - not high. Also, who wants to move with 2 small babies. We were just getting ready to renew our lease when we got home from our trip visiting my sister in Denver and found a notice on our door stating that our lease is not getting renewed and we need to be out in 30 days. What the What!?!

So it seems we will be homeless in 30 days. Ahhhhhhh!

If you need me, I'll be hovering over my laptop looking for a place to live.

I'm not sure what oils are good for being homeless, but for the associated stress I will be using a full arsenal.

Oils I Will Use for Stress:
Lime - I love diffusing lime. It smells like vacation and margaritas
Orange - Another great option for diffusing - very relaxing to me.
Lavender - reminds me a spas and I could use a spa day right now (included in Premium Starter Kit)
Peace & Calming - to do just what is says - help me calm the heck down! (included in Premium Starter Kit)
Stress Away- this blend smells like vacation as well and I want to pretend to be anywhere but packing my house! (included in Premium Starter Kit)

A Few Things To Note

1. I'm a perfectionist and a people pleaser. I come across as tough, but my feelings get hurt very easily. Please don't hurt my feelings.

2. I'm really opinionated and it takes every ounce of self control I can muster to keep my opinions to myself. Sometimes I fail, so you'll get to read about them here.

3. The perfectionist in me tries really hard to spell check and use proper grammar, but I'm busy. And tired. I have a full-time job, a husband that blessed me with 2 kids in a matter of 13 months and a little side gig I'm working on. Forgive me a grammar mistake here and their.

See how I did that...see what I did there? The perfectionist in me can't stand that I just purposefully made a grammar mistake. But I'm going to leave it to prove a point.

4. I am fiercely loyal. If you were mean to someone I care about, you're dead to me. A few have overcome this, but not many. That's the Scorpio in me.

5. It's really driving me crazy to leave that "their" up there on #3.

Part of my mission here is to share my half-a-hippie ways. I call myself "half a hippie" because I haven't gone full on crunchy, hippie. I still use a microwave and I do not make my own butter. Yet. I'm just kinda crunchy for now. And this all just started when I got pregnant with my first child. I became more concerned with what I was putting in her body and those concerns led me down a new path. I'm learning as I go and I have a long ways to go! A large part of my hippie ways includes using Young Living essential oils for health and wellness, so you'll read about some of that too!
