Happy Friday beautiful souls! This October, I’m joining the Sober October challenge! While I don’t drink much anyway, I love the idea of celebrating with friends and still being part of the festivities—even if I’m skipping the alcohol. That’s where herbal mixology comes in! Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite non-alcoholic “mocktail” recipes so you can sip something special, whether you’re participating in Sober October or just want a delicious, healthy alternative. 🌿 Herbal Mocktails for Mind, Body, and Spirit These refreshing herbal mocktails are alcohol-free, full of natural goodness, and designed to nourish your body and uplift your mood.

I have been doing some very minor research on making my own tea blends to have before bed. Besides the dried herbs I got for making the bitter tincture, I picked up a couple more today and am really enjoying what I made tonight. You could say I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the inspiration to try something new! 1 part chamomile 1 part lemon balm 1/2 part orange peel 1/2 part oatstraw

Happy Feel-Good Friday, wonderful community! As we wrap up another week, I'd love to create a space for us to celebrate the positive moments that brightened our days. Taking time to acknowledge and share our joys—no matter how small—is a powerful practice for nurturing gratitude and well-being. Feel-Good Friday: Share a Positive Moment from Your Week This week has been filled with ups and downs for many of us, but today I invite you to focus on a moment that made you smile, warmed your heart, or simply made you feel good. Perhaps it was: A meaningful conversation with a friend A small self-care ritual that brought you peace An accomplishment you're proud of A moment of connection with nature A kind gesture you received or offered Celebration is one of my favorite practices that many of us don't do enough of! By celebrating our successes and the little things in our lives (and the lives of those around us), we reinforce the positive aspects of our experience. This celebration can be something simple or complex—the important part is that it's something you genuinely enjoy. Remember that by celebrating, you're helping to reinforce the positive things in your life, empowering yourself, and boosting your confidence moving forward. I'll start: This week, I took a moment to create a special herbal tea blend and shared it with a neighbor who was having a difficult day. Seeing her smile as she took that first sip filled my heart with joy! Now it's your turn! Share one positive moment from your week in the comments below. Let's inspire each other with our celebrations and create a ripple effect of positivity in our community. Tag a friend who might need a little brightness in their day! ✨ With gratitude and joy
