Fluffy wheat things on the plant I bought and inevitably will kill from Wal-Mart for $16. It's surrounded by fall colored Mums #plantbased #naturephotography #wheat #notreally #fluffy #fallcolors #fall #autumn #desertlife #canon #rebelt5 #photography

I don't always lay by the door, but when I do it's because Mom left it open #cats #catsofinstagram #catstagram #fall #autumn #coolweather #canon #rebelt5 #photography #meow #desertlife

To honor the firefighters from 9/11, I went to the gym to climb 110 floors of stairs. The number of floors the Twin Towers had. The number of floors that firefighters had to climb and search through, pulling people out to safety, and some not making it out at all. I encourage you to go out and do the same. I realize it's nothing compared to being in full gear, bad visibility, and hazards left and right, but I felt compelled to do SOMETHING today. I spent another 20 minutes on the spin bike working hard and another 10 on the treadmill cooling down. #911 #neverforget #fdny #usa #workout #110floors #fitness #exercise #bigger #faster #stronger #motivation #inspiration #goals

I've started my own online apothecary and need testers! Take a moment to like my page below, I'm building my stock of all natural lip balm (tin and tube), essential oil room fragrance always, tinctures for your ailments, and more. For ordinary and magickal folks! Send me your scent ideas! I'm working on autumn and coastal scents at the moment because those are my favorite but I'm also building my stock. Lip balms and salves are all natural, made with coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E, with added essential oils. Round tins are 0.5oz and tubes are 5.5ml. Room fragrance sprays come in 4oz amber glass spray bottles and only contain distilled water, a smidgen of witch hazel, and a blend of various essential oils for fragrance. A safer and healthier alternative to chemical room sprays. Still working on the labels and my printer getting along. If you are interested in being a tester I will give you a FREE sample size if you leave a review on my page! Please give suggestions on your favorite scents and blend, I can make anything! Fruity, spicy, seasonal, sweet, I can do it all! Samples down are Pumpkin Balm (clove, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, sweet orange) and Calm Balm (lavender, chamomile, jasmine) https://m.facebook.com/autumnalapothecary/ #autumnalapothecary #apothecary #natural #lipbalm #fragrance #roomspray #essentialoils #beauty

This is what life has come to in 29 Stumps. 96° with 24% humidity at 10:15pm. Swamp cooler does nothing. Our bedroom is the hottest room of the house, all the fans are in the dogs room, so we went to the PX and bought an air mattress. It's two twins zipped together for a King or folded over to make one double high twin. Right in front of or AC unit which is set to dehumidify. And with 40% chance of a thunderstorm in 108° weather on Friday, this might as well be our set up for the next week

It's so good I made myself wait to finish the final episode of season 1, and then ended up just buying the entire season 2 so we can stream the new episodes as they come out like you normal people. Because we don't have cable and the Roku and SlingTV don't get USA lol #MrRobot #ElliotAlderson #RamiMalek #slightlyobsessed #itsthatgood #amazonforthewin

Thoroughly enjoying the results of my Strawberry Moon bath bomb by Witch Baby Soap tonight during the full Strawberry Moon Completed Body Beast Build: Back/Bis and upped the weight now that I have a larger variety of dumbbells. Also completed another round of Hip Hop Abs Fat Burn Cardio with Steven. #rewardyourself #fullmoon #strawberrymoon #witchbabysoap #relax #spatime #workout #exercise #getfit #loseweight #stronger #healthylifestyle #bodybeast #sagikalev #hiphopabs #ShaunT #beachbody

We love our steaks, but hate spending so much! Anyone else buy a London Broil and cut it into smaller steaks? We usually get 6 steaks out of one of these because they are so thick and for only $11 ($1.83 per steak), it saves us A LOT of money! I hate grilling (charcoal) so I always sear my steaks in a cast iron skillet on the stove for a few minutes each side, and then stick them under the broiler still in the skillet, restaurant quality steaks without the hassle and it's so quick. I also marinate mine in Caesar salad dressing with whatever steak seasoning I have, usually Chicago or Montreal style. Sprinkle a little more seasoning right before I sear them and they are delicious and so easy. #meateater #carnivore #steak #londonbroil #butcheress #moneysavingtips #idontalwayslookthiscrazy #stevendisagrees #stillobsessedwithmyshirt #nomakeup #nohairdo #shorthairdontcare

After a really fun, but long and tiring workday, I came home and just wanted to go to bed. But instead, I made myself an Energize drink and got to day 2 of Body Beast - Build: Legs. My legs are jello but again I really enjoyed the variety of exercises JUST for your legs. The right combo of "I got this" to "holy crap this is hard". As you can see top center, I spent most of the exercise just trying to find my balance. No one is perfect, everyone has to start somewhere. I'd you can only do your workouts when vampires are awake (late at night) then that's fine! And you're like me haha. I'm NOT a morning person. You see the weights I'm using? IF you can even see them, they are 2lb weights. Why? Because that's the level I'm at. That's what I can use right now while not losing my form but still challenging myself. You can do it too. You can probably do more weights than me! And that's awesome! I share this because you don't have to be "good" at exercising, as long ad you're trying, not quitting, and allow yourself to modify weights or reps so long as you're doing it correctly. Building muscle and strength takes time. I know I'm drinking a Recharge before bed. I hate leg days lol #workout #getfit #exercise #girlswholift #strength #determination #weallstartsomewhere #doyourbest #bodybeast #noexcuses #build #legday #beachbody #performance #coach
