Yoga Shrine

I posted the other day some Boho bedroom inspiration. Part of my bedroom I have started a little yoga area. I call it my shrine. I use to do yoga upstairs but I have found it way more relaxing doing it in my bedroom. Right after I drop the kids off at the bus stop I head straight to "The Shrine" and do some yoga. Usually Boomer, my youngest is right there next to me doing it with me. It is really cute although sometimes distracting for me. You can see in some of the pictures I have my laptop where I follow a video. I have some favorites from youtube I will share in a different post.The mirror is great for checking my posture. I am currently looking for a bigger mirror because the one I have is too small. It is great for when I am on the floor but when I stand up I can not see myself. More plants will be incorporated too!

I put some oils in my diffuser while I do yoga. You can see it to the right. Today I put-

Peppermint for clear breathing and breathe awareness.

Frankincense for a deeper spiritual cleansing

Lavender for calming and relaxing.

Candle are always a nice touch to everything

 I added some my my own personal touch. Some shells,a mermaid (can't see, it's on the table) and my Buddha. I think it is so important to have your house with things you love. I love walking into someones house and seeing their soul and not a stage you see in the mall.

Hope you are having a great week!

DIY Shell Jewerly Branch Holder

Here is my infamous Tree Branch Shell jewerly holder. I have made a few of these over the years and have always loved crafting them. I have made some for friends for their birthdays and they have really loved them as a present. I still have request to fill! They are simple and fun to make and recommend trying ;)

What you need:
2 manzanita tree branches. (I buy them from Blooms and Branches)
Pot or Vase
Plaster of Paris (you can find this at Lowes or Home Depot)
Shells
Moss
Rocks
Hot glue gun or craft glue

What to do:
Mix plaster of paris and fill pot with it. Stick the two manzanita tree branches in the plaster of paris the way you would like them to stand. I sometimes will put small sticks next to the bottom of the manzanita and plaster of paris to make it stand better. Wait til the plaster of paris dries. Once the plaster of paris dries you can start gluing the shells, moss and rock to your arrangements. There are endless ways to design these. I have also made some with larger shells upside down and glue them to the branches, this way you can have loose jewerly you can just throw in the shell. You can paint the branches with gold or even a coral color to make it look real coastal. This also doesn't have to be a jewerly holder, it can just be a display in your house or you can hang seaglass. The ideas are endless! Hope you all try it. You will love it!!

Laugh and Love
