We Finished The Dining Room, The Seasons Are Changing And So Am I…Oh And I Found The Craziest Dupe!
We Finished The Dining Room!
After months of work… we finally finished the dining room!
It’s truly unbelievable to me that this room used to be a hoarded corner ( don’t believe me? You can see if for yourself in this video ) and now it’s a beautiful and functional dining room that I can sit and enjoy my morning coffee in every morning. I cannot even begin to describe how much this space has changed the look and feel of our entire home. I really can’t put into words how dramatic this transformation was, so I think you better just see it for yourself. You can binge the entire makeover here.
The Seasons Are Changing… And So Am I.
I am sooooo curious if anyone else is feeling this way, because it’s so weird for me! But for whatever reason, this year, the fall/autumn season has such an energy to it that I’ve not felt since I was in school ( which was like 8 years ago 😅). Like it’s so intense this year for some reason. It feels like this dramatic shift is getting ready to happen and I feel this super intense desire to shake up allllll of my routines and priorities.
So while I am a little surprised by this intense shift, I am also kinda excited by it. I did listen to this podcast the other day that explained why we might feel this big shift in the fall and how it may be an even more powerful shift than the New Year, but again, I feel like fall this year feels different than others. And so I have to know if I am the only one or if everyone is feeling this changing of the seasons a little more intensely this year?
An Oura Ring For $40?!
Okay by now I am sure that you have seen someeeeooonne sharing about the Oura Ring. It’s a fitness tracker that looks like a normal ring and it’s been slowly growing popularity on social media. As someone who has never had an apple watch , I’ve really loved the idea of a wearable fitness tracker that blended in with my other jewelry so I could track my activity and sleep. The problem is that the Oura Ring starts at a whopping $350… which is a no go for me. Especially when the app you have to have to be able to use the ring, also has a monthly fee. I could never justify the cost. That is until I found this INSANE dupe. I have never put something in my cart so fast. This dupe is only $40 compared to $400 and the app is totally free. If you want even more details and a side by side comparison of the original and this dupe, I broke it all down for you in this post so you can weigh the pro’s and con’s for yourself.
But spoiler alert…I am thrilled with it. So if you have also been wanting an Oura Ring but also couldn’t stomach the cost… here you go!
And that’s it for this issue! Like I mentioned, this fall feels like a really powerful shift and I am so excited to see where it takes us! Talk to you soon!
P.S. While the Journal is not going anywhere, you may notice it’s not necessarily going to be every single week now that the summer is over. But I hope you will still tune in and still join the conversation when the new issues drop!
