You might find this surprising, but I’ve really leaned into having more fun and setting aside time strictly for recreation. Roy and I have reinstated date night. When I’d had enough of doing dishes on Friday nights, we began going out to dinner each week. We found Farina's Supper Club, a place we absolutely love. We sit at the bar and get to know new people. Roy says it almost feels like being in college again. The great part about date night is that it can be time to simply enjoy someone, whether it’s a partner, a friend, a pet, or even yourself. Set aside a weekly time to have the most fun you can imagine.

Well People Nudist Lip Butter feels fantastic and is made with clean ingredients. I am also crazy about this iced face roller, which is spectacular on days when you’re feeling a little puffy. It calms your skin and brings down inflammation.

This eye mask is a great way to shut out the world when I need to sleep. It’s beautiful and soft, and my neighbor embroidered my initial on it!

Have you heard of the AccuWeather app? It’s been essential for me. Committed to getting my 10,000 steps daily, I’ve wondered regularly when it’s going to rain, and this app answers that question to the minute. I love knowing that if it’s going to rain in 25 minutes, I have 24 to return from my walk.

I’ve long considered meditating, but it’s felt too big to take on. With this insight timer, I’ve been able to do a seven-minute timed meditation every morning. I go to bed with one of the hundreds of guided sleep meditations they offer. It’s literally been life-changing!

As a person who always appreciates a high-quality supplement, I found that these supplements have helped me double some of my efforts with all the extra work I’m doing. Here are some of my favorites, and I love their little containers. I am so delighted that MaryRuth is generously offering us 20%, so click here for our special link or enter the code Teri20 at checkout.

This has certainly been the year of handwashing, and there’s no brand I enjoy more than Soapply. Why? I simply like how it makes my skin feel. I recommend the starter kit with the larger bottle and the refill. It’s a safe product, and a portion of each purchase is donated to water and sanitation around the world. I buy it in bulk. When the pandemic began, I sent this soap to practically everyone I know. Recently I asked Lucy if there was any left, and it turned out that I had sent them 12 starter sets! So yes, Lucy is set for life in this department.

A Crumble sent me this amazing water filter by Brondell, and it’s one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. When our Brita water filter went out, our team member Molly requested a new filter. Within a week we had this Brondell hooked up. Our team is delighted. By the way, we’re doing a secret giveaway of one of these filters on our Friday Favorites sneak peek post! Head to the post, tag a friend, and let me know you're entering the secret contest in the comments!

I have funny feet, so it’s always hard to find footwear that is truly comfortable. When I discovered these, I was so excited to show everyone on the team--only to find out that they had all been wearing them first! The team had a giggle knowing we had all copied Molly.

Key to my year of health has been both working with Liz Josefsberg, an awesome rock star health coach, and living by the principles in her book, Target 100. I feel super lucky to be in her orbit, and the concepts in her book and the ideas she shares in her class center around how to shift from a diet mentality into joyful living. I strongly recommend joining her for an upcoming class.

On a personal note, it’s birthday week for my kids. We have a long-standing tradition of cards from everybody in the neighborhood and friends far and wide. As they grow up, the traditions change but the love stays the same. Their birthdays used to center around their parents, but as they’ve grown that’s totally changed. Now it’s all about being with their friends. Traditions are so important, and rather than missing the old, I love to allow new traditions to emerge.
