Enormous Jasmine Bath Bomb - Natural Garden Soaps by Paulaparrish

This past Saturday I had the pleasure to help out one of our family friends with their Taco Feed for their youth group. It was tons of fun but I was exhausted after waking up early that morning to drive four hours up North and then stand on my feet all day. Then, we drove back late that night after the Taco Feed to Ripon to spend Sunday with my folks and some relatives that came in from Arkansas. It was great to see everyone but man, last night we were dead tired; not to mention I had been feeling a little sick yesterday as well. 

This Jasmine Bath Bomb was exactly what I needed to sooth my tired feet and to help me relax. When I received this Enormous Jasmine Bath Bomb it was well packaged and I could smell the Jasmine from the package! At first I was a bit afraid that it was going to be too smelly for me but once I broke off a piece into my warm bath water it was perfect. The smell was not at all overpowering and it soaked my tired feet and made them feel super soft! I love the fact that my feet were incredibly soft and rejuvenated without any oily feeling left on my feet (like lotion tends to leave). It created an amazing smelling aroma of Jasmine in my bathroom and it was almost hard to keep my eyes open with how relax it made me. I will definitely be using the rest of this Bath Bomb tonight for my bath! I can't wait!!!

Relaxing in the Redwoods

This week was crazy for both my husband and I. Although it was only a four day work week, we both worked late everyday and just felt a little overwhelmed. Our camping trip could not have come at a better time. We drove up after work on Friday to Portola Redwoods State Park. It was only for one night but what an incredible get away. 

Leaving a little later than expected, we didn't get up to our campsite until 6:15 P.M. We quickly unloaded our things and started setting up our tent and then began on dinner. Unfortunately, we didn't pack until Friday (right when we got home from work), forgetting many common items that I found we take for granted. For instance, we forgot to bring our flashlight, which would have been handy, considering our lantern broke. Luckily my husband had a head lamp in the car that we used while eating dinner. Another thing we forgot was our pillows! Now I know that when you camp, you're supposed to be "roughing it" and it's not expected to be comfy and cozy but man, that nights sleeping was awful. Despite our forgotten items and sleeping on the ground for a night, this little adventure was perfect. I love the sound of the campfire and the noises in the woods. We had so much fun cooking over the fire and taking a hike to "Tiptoe Falls" which was literally a trickle of water off of a rock; and yet, I had so much fun with my hubby! 

The lack of electronics was very refreshing and it made me finally relax and worry about time. Take a look at some of the pictures from our trip!

Try sometime this week to take a step out of our technology driven lives and just go for a walk, or have some quiet time. It's alright to quiet your mind and just relax!

Enjoy!
