____ 1. Yogurt Parfaits. This is great for breakfast, snack time, or as an after-dinner dessert. So refreshing, healthy...and a great way to enjoy fresh, sweet, summer fruit.

Fruity-Crunchy Yogurt Parfait (Makes 1)

Use clear glasses...part of the fun is seeing the layers. Layer ingredients in this order:

1. First add, 1/4 cup strawberries
2. Then add, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
3. Then add, 1/4 cup blueberries
4. Finally, add 1/4 cup granola

Enjoy!

____ 2. A peaceful, unrushed start to my day. Stepping outside in the morning, before the rush of the day kicks in, is one of the most relaxing parts of my day. I like sipping my coffee and listening to the sounds of birds chirping and trees rustling...without being interrupted by anyone or anything. The quiet puts me in the right mindset to start my day without feeling stressed or rushed.

____ 3. Linen spray. There's something wonderful about lying down on a bed of newly laundered bedsheets. The clean smell is so inviting and relaxing that I wish I could experience it every single night. While I could wash my linens every day, I clearly am not going to go to that extreme. What I WILL do, however, is mist my bedding with linen spray. Spritzing a little linen spray on my sheets is the next best thing to having freshly washed sheets. You can choose the fragrance that suits you best and lie down in a bed that feels clean and fresh every night of the week. I really like this lavender linen mist made with pure lavender essential oil:
