Rossmore NecklaceIMG_4713One week to go until the due date! 

1. I’ve been wearing this Rossmore Imperfect Circle Necklace every day. Laura was our winner for the Rossmore giveaway! Thank you so much for participating. Keep an eye out for presales on Rossmore’s Instagram. Suzy is always coming up with new things and she even does custom work.

I’ve also been rocking fake lashes for no occasion whatsoever other than distracting from what I feel are very chubby arms.

2. We are going to turn into watermelons. I’ve been serving it up almost daily now. Last night I made a fruit salad with fresh whipped cream. INCREDIBLE.

MOCKTAILS. I have always been just a water person (or a whiskey person) but now I drink sparkling mineral water mixed with things like….you guessed it-watermelon juice, or OJ or mango nectar. Topping it off with a straw just makes my day. We usually use re-usable straws. I have these paper ones that I bought in bulk at Marshalls a while back. 

3. People have been over-the-top with compliments in these last days of pregnancy. It is so kind and I know that people want me to feel great. It’s working. 

4. Stephanie from The Loudmouth Lifestyle wrote something very nice about me on her blog! That feels so wonderful!

5. Here’s a cute lunchbox giveaway with some awesome bloggers this week. 

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Have a gorgeous weekend. XO

      You are too nice! Thank you! Look, my legs were like tree trunks or clubs. lol Somehow my face didn’t get really puffy but everything else did! Most of it’s gone but I still have achey joints! It’s crazy how people have totally different body things with pregnancy!

    I can’t believe you have one more week left. I am pregnant as well, almost 15 weeks, and I can’t imagine how it must feel to be so close to your due date. Finger crossed for an easy delivery!

      That week never happened! AH! I’m totally addicted to falsies now. I remember when I first learned how to curl my lashes and freeze them with mascara. I never turned back…:)

Comment MEALS and I’ll send you my free “What I ea Comment MEALS and I’ll send you my free “What I eat in a day” to lose 25 pounds.

I had to simplify weight loss because I have so many other things I want to pour my energy into!

You see me doing a million things but I’m actually impatient and lazy. I’m a Taurus who loves to lounge and eat donuts.

I found a way to eat donuts, lose weight and do it with the least effort.

The food is easy. The prep is easy. I don’t even think about it anymore.

I started my journey in the summer and it was the best life upgrade of the year.

Follow @christinajwarren to make life easier and more enjoyable simply with your attitude.
Life has its twists and turns. Everything can chan Life has its twists and turns. Everything can change in a moment. 

All possibilities are equally available at all times. 

You have the free will to reach out and touch whichever one you choose 

There have been times when I thought gosh how did I get into this situation? 

I had to remind myself that I could get myself out of it.

I had to remind myself that I had the power to create the life that I wanted.

I hope there’s something that you want that you’ve decided to experience for yourself. 

Not someday or if this or if that.

Cheering you on, my friend!
Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your fu Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your full life even more:

1. Tying my worthiness to outcomes- at the end of each day I focus on how the day felt, over what got done.

There are days when I am a super DOER and I also have heartburn. 

I want less days like that and more days that feel peaceful regardless of the list.

2. Earning rest-If I feel like eating donuts and sleeping on the sofa all Saturday morning, that’s awesome. Don’t need permission and don’t need to apologize-just enjoy.

3. Saying “I should”- That’s a 100% red flag for something I SHOULDN’T do. 

That’s a signal that it’s something that someone else says I should be doing-not my inner authority.

4. Needing things to be hard- I say things like “Show me how easy this gets to be,” (and I believe it). The proof presents itself.

5. Needing it to be perfect before sharing-not that I’m sharing the hot mess, just that it can be 80% and ready for the world. 

Some things take off right away and others need tweaking. Get it out there to find out where you are at sooner.

It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve your life. You feel like you need more- money, creativity, luck.

That’s actually not true though.

When I fall into this trap, I do this…

Here’s the trick.

When you ask yourself “why is this so hard” your brain goes to work finding every reason it is.

BUT when you ask “why is this so easy for me?” “Why is it all falling into place?”

Your brain has to find proof of that instead.

Different question. A completely different experience.

Keep asking that question all day! Stop asking “Is it working?” Just do it!

Try it on your house. Your body. Anything you’ve been stuck on and tell me what happens!

Do you use mindset tricks like this?

How many times was I going to send this listing to How many times was I going to send this listing to my friend and my husband, asking if it’s worth a 45 minute drive to go pick this up?

If I waited any longer, it was going to be gone.

But what if that was a sign that it wasn’t for me?

where was my sign from the universe?

I just knew this was going to give our family room the cozy vibe I wanted. 

Everything else in the room was new so it needed something to feel warmer, unexpected, collected and personal.

I kept holding the phone up to the couch trying to picture it.

It belonged here.

She was asking $100 and I asked if $80 would be ok. It was deal and we were off on a long trip, deep into the city.

Was this going straight to Goodwill?

She put the cutest note on top and her roommate helped up load it into our truck.

I dumped a bunch of water on it and gave it a good scrub plus some scraping off of candle wax. No problem!

Truly, what’s meant for you will never pass you by. 

When you search and shop with that vibe, all the right stuff will arrive in your feed and you’ll get the perfect piece.

No kidding, within a day of DECIDING my coffee table was going to be on Marketplace, it showed up.

If you’re into the power of your vibes creating your whole world, follow @christinajwarren where we cultivate inner peace to create a beautiful life from the inside out.
