Having a nightly routine to help wind down and prepare for sleep is one of my top tips for improving sleep. Ever since I started incorporating STRETCHING into my evening routine, I can’t imagine not stretching before bed! Taking a couple of minutes to relieve built up muscle tension from the day has had me feeling significantly better once I settle into bed to read, rest, and relax.

Let’s go on a mini tour of Trader Joe’s together, shall we?? I have been an avid shopper at TJ’s for the last 10+ years – while they don’t have everything that I’m looking for (therefore I do a lot of my grocery shopping at Costco and sometimes other places as well), they do have certain products that I absolutely love and would be sad to live without! I thought I would share ten of my favorite Trader Joe’s products – keep in mind that while the post says “top 10,” there are really too many favorites to choose from!! Hopefully you will find a new favorite food item to enjoy from this list!
I was recently introduced to this amazing toscano cheese which quickly became a new favorite. I recommend pairing it with some fig and olive crisps or your other favorite TJ’s cracker of choice!
Something I try to keep at the forefront of my mind is the question, how can I be living with intention? With my health, finances, relationships, work, faith, and other areas of life, are the actions I am taking now on a trajectory that will likely lead to where I would want to be 5, 10, or even 50 years from now?
In a quote that captures this idea well, Annie Dillard wrote, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
We can only be in one moment at a time – now – and each moment fills up each day. How we live each day, in turn, fills up how we live our lives. Each present moment, each day, is of significance.
