Self-Care: 7 Ways to Better Your Mood When Feeling Down

This post contains affiliate links.

Hey Butterflies. Question...has the entire world gone mad? I mean just within a few seconds of looking at any mainstream media source you'd think so, right? It's evident now more than ever that there's a mental health crisis that's effecting the entire world and needs to be addressed. If you've been following me over the years you know that I’ve struggled with anxiety/depression most of my life and finally (about three years ago) decided to see a counselor who really helped me sort some things out.

Anyway, since May is National Mental Health Month and I'm a strong advocate for keeping your mental in check, I thought I'd share a few ways I cope with depression but first let me say if you feel like you might be a danger to yourself or someone else PLEASE reach out to a counselor or at least someone you feel comfortable talking with. Even if you think you're just feeling down for the moment, I still suggest finding someone to talk to. Some people suffer from depression and may not know it or refuse to accept it out of fear of being judged but speaking from personal experience, talking to someone about what you're feeling just might help. This is how I cope...

Visiting Texas: America's Incredible Pizza Company - Texas

This is a sponsored post.

Butterflies, if you're planning to be in the San Antonio, Texas area anytime soon this post might be of great interest to you. Plan to have an incredible time mixing Fun, Food and Family while making memories that will last a lifetime at America's Incredible Pizza Company. Incredible Pizza delivers high energy and a quality experience for the entire family. After enjoying their freshly homemade buffet; enter their world famous Fair Grounds and play over 100 arcade and carnival style games. Race to the finish line while driving go-karts, get lost in a friendly game of laser tag, get a hole-in-one while playing glow golf, and spin away on the bumper cars and more! 

As you can probably tell from the pictures below, the last time we were in the San Antonio area was during the holiday season and although there was so much to see and do around town we made sure to stop by the Incredible Pizza Company for their amazing buffet and cool games. We had so much fun and even saw a photo of the 1942 Nighthawks oil on canvas painting by Edward Hopper that was featured on an episode of one of my favorite tv shows when I was in high school, That 70’s Show.

7 Simple Ways to Show Earth Some Love

Hey Butterflies! A couple of weeks ago I volunteered to help with the garden at my kid's school, not only was it a good physical activity and loads of fun, but it was also a great teaching/learning experience that got me thinking. About ten years ago I remember received an Earth Day t-shirt from an ex-employer and to this day I still wear it because it inspired me to be more cautious of my impact on our planet. Earth Day is celebrated yearly on April 22nd, as a way to bring attention to environmental issues so that we can better preserve  our planet.

One of my favorite quotes about earth is from William Shakespeare, he said: "The earth has music for those who listen." I totally agree and was inspired to share with you a few ways we can all show Mother Earth some love.
