Guest Post: Author Amy Spencer's Happiness Idea for the Day

Hi Kimberly and Moms!

I hope my happiness idea for the day can add a little optimism to your life. It’s based on my new book Bright Side Up: 100 Ways to Be Happier Right Now. See, the way I look at it, happiness isn’t about the situation we’re in, but how we see and feel about the situation we’re in. So if we can see our situation from a more positive perspective, we can be happier right now without really having to change a single thing!

And because Moms could use help seeing the bright side of life sometimes more than ever, here’s one idea from the book that might change how you see your day:

Do the can-can. Here’s what I mean. There are so many things on your To-Do list that by the end of the day, looking at all the things you “can’t” squeeze in, it’s easy to start focusing on the negative: You can’t find the time, can’t stick to the diet, can’t find the energy, can’t find your keys, and now you can’t stop thinking about all the things you can’t do! And we all know that once you’re making that list, it can start to overwhelm you. It's natural for us to think about what we can't do. But what if you flipped the list? Because you'll have an entirely different experience when you ask, instead what you can do. Do the can-can. And marvel when you realize this: the list of what you can do is so much bigger than what you can’t!

You can’t find the time to make homemade applesauce this week? Well, you can find the time to give the kids apples…and pears and oranges and bananas. You can’t do the diet every day, but you can do it five days this week, which is better than none at all! You can get a lot done, you can give your family what they need, and you can be proud of surviving a crazy week with all the little cans you’ve accomplished along the way. The next time you hear yourself talking about the “can’ts” do the can-can again, and dance your way to a more positive perspective.

I hope this helps you see your next challenging situation Bright Side Up! And hopefully, you’re already feeling a little happier right now.

Amy

Redesign Your Bathroom with a Vessel Sink & Faucet

I feel like I have the world’s smallest master bathroom. I know I don’t, but it feels like it just the same. When my husband and I first built our house, we were moving from an apartment and we were beyond excited to gain the extra space. It’s now been 11 years and two kids later, we have just about completely outgrown our house.

One of the biggest gripes I have for our house is our master bathroom. There is a small shower, closet, toilet, and a double sink/cabinet combo. I was so excited to order the sink/cabinet combo when we were building because my husband and I didn’t have to share our space any longer! We could spread our stuff out and not have to fight for the mirror! Well….the sink/cabinet combo has become nothing but a nuisance. Yes, my husband and I can keep our stuff separate in the two different cabinets, but we still share just one sink. Why? I have no idea…we just use the same one. So, what’s the point? Why not tear out the sink/cabinet combo and replace it with one sink, place more of our toiletries in the closet, and gain space to our ridiculously small bathroom? Well, I need money to do it first.

I love imagining how I would redesign my living spaces, particularly this bathroom. I would tear out the double sinks and replace it with a vessel sink. Although I like the stone, I really love the glass vessel sinks. They are beautiful and are such a unique feature. If you choose a vessel sink, you need to pick out a vessel sink faucet as well. Some vessel sink faucets are traditional, whereas others are pretty different from the typical faucets I have seen at Home Depot. They are more contemporary and what I would consider more fashionable for the modern home.

J3LL Watches Review & Giveaway

I know that I am not yet the “fashionista” I aspire to be someday, but I do love fashion and the thrill of finding the perfect eye-catching outfits and accessories. I know that it’s only mid-February, but I am already eager to ditch my winter sweaters and corduroys. I am ready for vacation, so I have been keeping close watch on the new spring fashions. I want to shed the winter colors and replace them with bright fun colors!

J3LL Watches are an accessory that meets all the above criteria. They are eye-catching and they have numerous bright colors from which to choose. J3LL Watches have interchangeable bands and faces; therefore, you can be creative in matching your outfits! They are made from ionoized silicone rubber, which allows a comfortable fit. No hard plastic or metal band digging into your wrist.

I had the opportunity to review two watches from J3LL.  The watches come in three styles - the "Block" (square face), the "Rock" (large face), and the "Clock" (round face).  The first watch I chose was a "Rock" watch that had a white band and a white face.  The second watch I chose was a "Clock" watch that had a purple band and a purple face.  I deliberated for quite some time about choosing a watch face that was a different color than the band, but honestly, there were so many different color arrangements I loved, it was hard to choose.  So, I stuck with solid color choices. 


I was a bit struck by the size of the watched when I unwrapped them.  They are larger than I expected.  However, when I tried them on, I thought, "Oh, yeah...these are cool!"  Talk about eye-catching and fun!  They remind me of the jelly watches from when I was younger :)  I love the fact that these watches are so colorful, different from what I am accustomed to wearing, and the fact that you can change the watch faces to accessorize your outfit.
