🫧🧖🏻‍♀️When Three Was Enough

When Three Was Enough

My grandmother had three bottles on her vanity.

Three.

Ponds cold cream…
Witch hazel…
And Oil of Olay.

That was it.

She stayed out of the sun — not because it was trending…
But because hats were elegant.
Gloves were proper.
And shade was feminine.

She didn’t count steps.
She didn’t track macros.
She didn’t double cleanse.

She ate home-cooked meals.
Drank water like it was sacred.
And fast food?
It wasn’t fast.
It barely existed.

Today…
We have 12 serums.
Blue light blockers.
Chemical exfoliants.
Retinol schedules.

And somehow…
We’re still chasing the glow she already had.

Maybe it wasn’t just skincare.

Maybe it was the life.

🌸 Mom's Journals, entry #6

🌸 Thoughts on Light, Wisdom, and Flying Higher Reflections from My Mom’s Journals , post #6 "Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?" — Rumi "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." — Rumi "You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?" — Rumi "Raise your words, not your voice.

🌸Mom's Journals, entry # 19

🌸 Reflections from Mom’s Journals — Entry #19 🌸 Abundance flows when we love what we are doing. 🌸 Examine what I believe to be impossible… then change my beliefs. 🌸 Let my loving soul guide my behavior. 🌸 Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. —Mark Twain 🌸 If your not doing what you love, you are wasting your time. ( widely attributed to Billy Joel ) 🌸 Forever is composed of NOWS! —Emily Dickenson 💭 Examine the Impossible Examine what I believe to be impossible… then change my beliefs. Here’s a little trick I’ve learned: whenever something feels impossible , it’s usually just my brain doing its best dramatic performance, like it is auditioning for a soap opera. You know the type—“ Cue the violins, this project is clearly the end of me! ” But let’s be honest, most “impossible” things are just… big. Too big to swallow whole. So instead of brushing it off ( or chasing the ...

🌸Mom's Journals, entry #1

My dad recently found two journals that belonged to my mother and gifted them to me—what a treasure! S he often wrote positive messages and quotes on index cards and placed them strategically throughout the house. I never knew, until today, that she also kept journals filled with these quotes and messages. I've decided to share the wonderful and inspiring entries from her journals with you. I hope you enjoy reading them and that they bring you inspiration or teach you something new. I'll be posting one page at a time, so I hope you'll keep checking back for more. Wishing you Love, Light & Sparkles, 🌸 Carrie “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough…” - Albert Einstein “ The difference between genius and stupidity is - genius has limits ” “Don’t cry because it’s over - Smile because it happened.” - Dr. Seuss “ Don't waste your time on explanations - people only hear what they want to ” “ T T F N - Ta ta for now ” - Tigger “The tyrant wi...
