Rug Care

The Power of Now… have you read it?

I hadn’t read this book until last year and it set off an insane binge of introspective non-fiction titles after I finished it including: “Radical Self Acceptance” by Tara Brach, “Breaking Open the Head” by Daniel Pinchbeck, “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg, “Early Retirement Extreme” by Jacob Lund Fisker, and “A New Earth” also by Eckhart Tolle.

And during the time I started reading all these different titles, we started meditating. And like Lou talked about in this Story, it really did change everything for both of us. I found myself less anxious, connecting to the joy in the little moments – even just walking to the grocery store or watering our plants – and I even realized I was much better at being present for those around me. And while introspection and meditation is definitely not a cure all for everything, I found that by connecting deeper to myself, I was able to free myself of a lot of the anxiety that didn’t serve me. By shifting my focus to the present moment, life really started to blossom in front of my eyes.

So my question for the week for you lovely readers is how do you practice being present? What is your form of meditation? Your favorite self-care tips? Mental health is such an important topic that can easily get pushed under the rug and I want to make sure each of you reading this knows how much you matter to us and how we hope you make the time take care of yourself!

Lots of love,

After numerous requests, we are taking on the Jelly Belly Bean Boozled Challenge! We’ve got a bunch of gourmet jelly beans, the problem is some taste good and some taste terrible. And you can’t tell the difference until you put it in your mouth! We’re going to try all 10 colors and hope we don’t get BEAN BOOZLED!

We’ll be challenging our parents on EvanTubeRAW, so stay tuned!

Are you ready to be BeanBoozled®?

Jelly Belly’s wildest collection dares you to compare some of our tastiest, most popular flavors with our craziest ones. But here’s the catch – you won’t know which ones are which!

The black Licorice bean looks exactly like the Skunk Spray bean! Sweet, luscious Caramel Corn might also be Moldy Cheese. You may think you’re tasting our world-famous Buttered Popcorn bean, but what you’ll be biting into could actually be Rotten Egg. The only way to find out what beans you’re getting is to eat them!

The Jelly Belly BeanBoozled® collection currently contains 10 colors of beans, and 20 flavors (10 “real” ones and 10…well…different ones). You can make a fun, and somewhat hair-raising, game out of it by giving your friends beans of the same color and seeing which flavors they get. But don’t be a chicken – you have to participate too. Just try not to get BeanBoozled®!
