Happy Friday!
How was your week? Are you enjoying this warmer weather as much as I am?
This week was busy! I worked a few days and lots of jammed-packed flights! I stayed over in El Paso, Texas for the first time! Anyone from El Paso? I volunteered and went to a volunteer fundraiser. And most importantly, I learned how to use our lawn mower. Yes, seriously.
As for this weekend we are watching our neighbor’s 2 dogs – which means we will be a 3 dog household for the next week! On Saturday we are doing a bike ride with our small town, in the afternoon we are going to my work party picnic – (and these parties are always a blast!) This time we will be doing paintball! Then at night we are headed to a “stock our bar” party (our friends just put in a bar and finished their basement… and since we don’t drink, I guess we’ll stock it with… apple juice? I am not sure if they will appreciate that! And if I can manage the time for it, there is a model home furniture sale – something I love going to – so much fun new stuff!
On Sunday we will wake up early and head to church so we can go straight to our dear friend’s “goodbye” party. Sadly, they are moving back to the east coast. We are so sad to see them go, but happy for their new job opportunity. {Congrats Simon and Emily!}
Whew-y! So we are doing all that in two days. Hopefully we have some time to breathe too!
Now, let’s move on to some of my favorite things this week!
All-Natural: Nellie’s Eggs
We eat an egg-ceptional amount of eggs. We love eggs for breakfast on the weekends and eat eggs throughout the week in the form of egg salad sandwiches and hard boiled eggs. Of course we cook with eggs in recipes too. Eggs are a huge part of our diet and when deciding on what eggs to get from the store – we prefer the free range kind – like Nellie’s Certified Free Range Eggs!
Nellie’s Eggs are worth checking out. They are Grade A Certified Humane Eggs from hens that are outdoors in sunlight and on grass, they have no hormones, no antibiotics and are kosher! They have got great resources on how to have your own backyard chickens too! How neat is that?

Vitamins: Sundown Naturals
I love taking vitamins in gummy form. In the mornings I take a few vitamins and supplements, including vitamin B. My favorite right now is the B12 gummies from Sundown Naturals – they are tasty and easy! The caffeine free chocolate and coffee flavored B12 gummies help start my morning by giving me a boost of energy. Something I take on a less frequent occasion is the Sundown Naturals melatonin gummies. These melatonin gummies are great for when I travel and when I feel restless. I received a free product for the purpose of my review. Opinions are 100% my own.
Sundown Naturals has a wide selection of nutritional vitamins and supplements, that are 100% free of gluten, wheat, dairy, lactose, and contain no artificial flavors. They are sold in major retailers nationwide. Find out more about Sundown Natural products.
Fitness: Fitness Power Flex Yoga Pants Leggings
Workout pants that aren’t see-through! Yay! These pants come in a bunch of colors and have an ombre (color fading) look. They have pinks, purples, greens… they are gorgeous. I got the full length pants instead of the capris – although now I want the capris too. They are stretchy, comfortable and thick! The design is lovely and calming! They will be perfect for cold days at the gym!
Buy these workout pants on Amazon!
Real Food: Wild Zora

Health: Essential Oil Vials
I got these tiny (seriously, tiny) vials for travel and to give out to friends. They are a perfect size so I can have essential oils and blends in each any every bag and purse I own. There is 10 in a pack from Amazon and they fit about 20 drops in each one. I label them with my label maker and they are great to share with friends! I don’t mind if I am telling someone about a blend I made, and then just giving them one of these, because they are the perfect size for a gift!
I can see these could be used as guest favors too. You can buy these small essential oil bottles on Amazon.
Beauty & Wellness: Alambika Essential Oils
Speaking of essential oils, Alambika has a lovely selection of organic essential oils. They have really high-quality oils that I have been loving! They are wildcrafted, strong and powerful. I have really been enjoying the Lavender Highland – which is from lavender from France!
I think these might be the most luxurious essential oils I have owned yet. Buy these superior essential oils at Alambika.com.
