Happy, Healthy, Creative Wish List

Happy Tuesday, and happy (belated) Thanksgiving!  I hope your holiday was wonderful.  My mom was in town, and we enjoyed five days of laughter, togetherness, yoga, and eating (too much) amazing food.

Today, I'm sipping green tea, munching on leftover apple, date, and ginger crisp, and working on my holiday wish list.  I thought I'd share my list with you all.  Maybe you'll find some inspiration for your own wish list, or a gift for that creative someone in your life!

1. Yoga bolster by Hugger Mugger.  A bolster is the ideal gift for the yogi who wants to create a restorative ("yin") yoga practice at home.  It's blissful placed along the spine in supine poses, or under the knees in savasana.  As a bonus, it's filled with organic cotton batting.  Ommm.

2. Essential Oils Kit by PlantLife.  This is a fantastic starter kit for anyone interested in the many beneficial uses of essential oils.  These highly concentrated oils can be used as aromatherapy when added to a diffuser (or your bath, lotion, face masque, etc.), or simply dabbed on the body as perfume.   

3. Create Stillness retreat with @katecourageous of Your Courageous Life.  Imagine a weekend spent on the Monterey  peninsula in Pacific Grove, CA, dedicated to slowing down and getting courageously present.  Did I mention the in-room jacuzzi and fireplace?  Yes, please.

4. Eat, Pray, Love soundtrack.  You loved the book.  You loved the movie.  Listen to the beautiful soundtrack and be inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert's incredible journey of self-discovery all over again.

5. Grub: Ideas for an Organic Urban Kitchen by Anna Lappe and Terry Bryant.  Part cookbook, part lifestyle how-to, this book would make the perfect gift for the health-conscious foodie on your list.

6. Tea of the Month Club from Teavana.  Spoil the tea-lover in your life with a new variety of tea each month, available in 6 or 12-month subscriptions.  

7. Type Bird Moleskine by tabidesigns.  A gorgeous take on the classic moleskine notebook.  Perfect for jotting down bits of inspiration throughout the day.

8. Root Over Rock water bottle by Sigg.  Hydrate in style with this pretty and functional water bottle.  An ideal gift for any yogi or active girl on the go.

9. The Creative Entrepreneur by Lisa Sonora Beam.  A visual, step-by-step instructional guide for turning your creative dreams into a viable business.  A must-have for the aspiring entrepreneur!
