In a world where it seems like we are all moving too fast and our time is constantly being taken up by obligations, it can be difficult to prioritize our own health and happiness. However, making time for just a few minutes of yoga each day can have a profound impact on our physical and mental well-being.
One way to make your yoga practice even more effective is to incorporate a mat and water bottle that holds an inspirational message for you. This way, every time you roll out your mat or take a sip of water, you will be reminded of your intention for your practice. Adding this personal touch can help you to stay committed to your practice, even on days when you feel like you can’t make the time. Having a dedicated yoga practice can help to improve your physical and mental wellbeing.
In this post we have featured our favorite Yoga mats and water bottles with inspirational designs. Many of these mats can be personalized; either with a name, monogram or initial.
Before we dive into sharing the yoga mats and water bottles we wanted to share a few important details…
Each mat is 72″ long and 24″ wide with a thickness of 0.25″. This thickness is above the standard yoga mat thickness, providing extra comfort for your practice. The mats are free from BPA’s, phthalates, and latex, making them safer for your skin and body.
The water bottles featured are either a Thor Copper Vacuum Insulated Bottle (made of 18/8 grade stainless steel) or a CamelBak Eddy (made of BPA, BPS and BPF Free Tritan and 50% recycled material). When it comes to choosing a water bottle, we know it is important to find one that is made of safe, durable materials that will not leach chemicals into your water. Both of these types of bottles are safe and durable, so you can be sure that your water will be safe to drink.
One of the best ways to stay on track with your goals is to have a clear and concise plan. Having a regular routine can help you to maintain focus and achieve success. However, for many people, the planning process can be daunting and time-consuming.
This is where having a personalized inspirational planner can be a valuable asset.
A personalized planner can help you go through your day with a positive and calming mindset. It can include inspirational quotes, reminders, and tips to help you stay on track. It can also be a great way to document your progress and reflect on your achievements.
So, if you are looking for a way to get organized and achieve your goals, consider investing in a personalized inspirational planner. It may just be one of the best investments in yourself you make.
In this post we are sharing personalized inspiration planners with a yogic or meditative theme. There are so many to choose from and each design can be helpful in achieving a sense of calm and focus. Add your name, the year or any other text that speaks to you in order to make the planner truly your own. Many of the planners shown are available in a variety of colors and designs; we have included where to find the complete collection of these planners at the end of this post.
Each of the planners we have featured in this post are produced by Zazzle. The designs come in two sizes that can be selected on the product pages: standard 8.5” by 11” and small 5.5” and 8.5”. You can also choose whether you would like to have a hardcover or softcover. The calendars are 60 pages long spanning 12 months with space for monthly overviews, weekly planning and notes. Stickers are included. Additionally, the planners are Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act compliant.

Fill Your Own Horse Toy Advent Calendar
Love to do a special advent calendar for your child or children annually? And also love to save money? You may want to consider purchasing an advent calendar and filling it yourself.
If each year you purchased one of the toy filled advent calendars we have shared you would end up spending, on average, $38 dollars a year which is about $192 over five years. A hanging advent calendar like this Andees Christmas Countdown Advent Calendar Reusable Wall Hanging is only $18.98 with large pockets for some seriously amazing toy gifting! If the horses you include in the set are something like this 18 Piece Horse Figure Toy Set for $15.99 or 16 Pieces Horse Figurines for $8.49 (filling the rest of the days with some candy) you would spend a total of only $34.97 or even $27.47 for the first year! After that, you only spend the amount of money for a toy set each year after. Going with the $15.99 set, you save an average of $3 dollars the first year and $22.01 each year after. As opposed to spending an approximate $192 dollars over five years, you would spend only about $98.93 over the five years saving you a total of $93.07! Another great benefit is that you will never run out of options for creating a great horse themed advent calendar, each year it can be filled with new, unique gifts.
While this advent calendar doesn’t include daily gifts or surprises, it is still a beautiful way to countdown to the Christmas holiday. This horse is absolutely stunning.

Thanksgiving coloring pages are a great holiday activity. They are perfect to keep the kids busy while you are preparing for the feast and are sure to be much enjoyed on Thanksgiving Day. Not only do the younger kids love them but you are sure to have a few adults coloring a Thanksgiving masterpiece.
We have shared a selection of the very best free Thanksgiving coloring pages. There are many cute and simple coloring pages perfect for small children and also there are more intricate coloring pages, like a turkey zentangle, that teens and adults are sure to enjoy.
Just click on a link below for a full-size Thanksgiving coloring page ready for printing. We hope you enjoy them!
If you are printing many coloring pages this Thanksgiving, here is a great money saving tip: set your printer to use only black ink when printing the coloring page. Even though the lines of the coloring pages are black, if color printing is enabled the printer will use ink from the three color cartridges instead of just from the much cheaper black ink cartridge. Also, for inkjet printers, look to enable economy mode, draft mode, or ink saver mode. Your coloring pages will still look great but less ink will be used for the lines!
