Good morning and happy Thursday! We are inching our way toward Fall Break and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m looking forward to lots of reading, relaxation, and catching up on sleep!
Fall Break is probably the thing I’m most excited about this week, but here are a few other things that are making me happy! As always, feel free to play along in the comments and tell me what you’re loving lately!

I’ve ordered a few shipments of healthy, organic snacks and other staples from Thrive Market (<–affiliate link) and I am amazed at the huge discounts they offer. They have an iPhone app which makes it really easy and convenient to add things into your basket as you think of them. My most recent order included Rao’s Arrabiata Sauce ($6.95 through Thrive Market and it can be anywhere between $8-11 at the grocery store), cereal, dish soap, olive oil, and other snack items. The site works like Amazon and requires you to sign up for an annual membership. However, the first month is free and, after that, it’s only $59.95 for the year (which is a steal considering the amount of money saved over the course of the year!). They also offer free shipping on orders over $49. I also love that Thrive Market donates a free annual membership to a low-income family for every membership purchased through their site.

Lunch Bunch
Most of the other teachers incentivize students for good behavior or work completion by allowing them to watch a movie in their classroom at lunch time. I don’t have a SmartBoard. And I don’t have a projector. So I’ve never thought to set up a Lunch Bunch in my room before. Yesterday, however, one of the students wanted to eat lunch in my room. I told them they could, but that I wouldn’t be playing a movie. The others overheard and wanted to join in. They didn’t care about the movie. They wanted to come anyway. We all had such a fun time together. I felt like I got to know these kiddos a little more. Their silly sides. Their personal lives. And I think they liked getting to know more about me and my life. I have a feeling Lunch Bunch is going to be a regular thing.

ClaryCalm Roller
ClaryCalm is a proprietary blend of essential oils that provides a soothing effect during that wonderful time of the month. I used to swear by Midol as the only thing that helped with cramps and headaches. But this oil has been my go-to over the past few months and I don’t even turn to Midol anymore. I simply roll it onto my abdomen and wrists and it works within minutes. I love this stuff. I’m going to put in another monthly order soon so contact me if you have any questions about this oil or how to get doTERRA into your home! 🙂
Questions of the Day:
- Do you order groceries and products through Thrive Market?
- Are you using essential oils in your home?
- What is one thing you’re loving this week?
I’ve never heard of Thrive Market so, no, i don’t use it. I use essential oils as part of my beauty routine. Rose Hips does wonders for my face!

We don’t use essential oils at all. My youngest son’s room has a Smartboard and it is phenomenal.

I use essential oils at home but not for my body. I mix it with my candles coz I like its rose scents 🙂
Um I believe I need this oil as Midol is currently my best friend during that time…. that’s amazing that it works!
I really like essential oils and we dont have Thrive Market here, or rather, the option to order from it. I am loving that this week has been so productive for me.
I just forwarded my daughter a link to this blog post because the oil sounds like exactly what she needs – I had no idea that existed.

I’ve recently started learning more about the benefits of essential oils but don’t have any yet. I’d really like to get some lavender oil to help with sleep!

Good to know about thrive market from your post. So many organic sellers are out there that it’s hard to catch up and it helps to know about specific ones.
I’ve never heard of Thrive Market before. Wonder if they operate in Canada as well. Hm… will have to check that out.
I have heard about the use of essential oils, but haven’t used any just yet.

Ahhh that roller sounds A M A Z I N G. I need to search Amazon for it right now. One thing that I’m loving this week though is my favorite coffee shop / bar in Dallas. I get so much work done there while listening to great local talent. It’s definitely a win-win.
Thrive Market is new to me! I do like essential oils. Last year I made lime coconut scrub for gifts and it used lime essential oil which is lovely for massages. We also have lavender 🙂

Thrive market does sound pretty cool. I’ll have to take a look at it before doing our next shopping trip.
Thrive market sounds so great. Im going to have to check it out and see what they have!
I haven’t heard of Thrive Market but it sounds interesting. Fall means taking my time to relax and unwind before the rush holiday season comes.
I am loving that calming essential oil roller! I would carry it everywhere with me! Would be especially helpful for me at work!

No periods for me but that oil would have been awesome for me
I LOVE doTerra! Its in my diffuser, on my skin, on my kids. I love me some essential oils.

Oh, these are all such interesting products! I’ve never tried Thrive Market but am definitely going to look into it.
How nice that you had lunch with your students seems you guys had fun. Also like all of those bento boxes. Loving the essential oil recommendation too.
We definitely use essential oils in our home daily. Matter of fact I have switched 80% of our products with natural homemade alternatives.

I started using essential oils through pregnancy and I found that it really helped.

I love essential oils and am pretty familiar with Thrive Market. I think they have some good deals. Not great but good.
I really don’t tend to order food over the internet-it is a rare occasion when I do. But Thrive sounds like a good place to start. This week has been–lets just say interesting–At least I got my pre paid phone again!

I love essential oils! I’ve never heard of Thrive Market before but looks like there are great things to pick!
I’m a fan of most of what you mentioned and enjoy looking around on the Thrive site. I love reading your what you love posts. 🙂
I’ve never even heard of thrice market….clearly I am missing out! I totally need that EO roller!

I’ve also never heard of the thrive market befor but one thing I’m really loving right now is my new body lotion, I never use lotions or creams but it’s doing wonders!

Most essential oils give me headaches but if I’m in a ton of pain I will use a muscle oil. I try to stay away from them though. I don’t use thrive market because my local grocery store has online ordering so I stick with them.

No Thrive Market here but we do have Bountiful Baskets that deliver fresh produce to an area. I have a garden most of the year but I order a few baskets in the wintertime.
I also used a similar online grocery store here in Manila, and they shipped/delivered it to me either during day or the following day, and they are also awesome like Thriving Market 🙂 It’s convenient!
I’ve been curious about Thrive, but hadn’t heard from anyone who actually used it yet!
I love it so much! I’ve been tracking how much I’ve saved just to see whether the membership was worth it and it absolutely is. I do most of my purchasing on Thrive and Amazon (which I also have Prime for) and I think both memberships were worth the initial money because I get packages delivered to my doorstep and in many cases, it’s cheaper than at the store!
Love your post! I think I’m going to get one of those oil rollers. 🙂
I enjoyed this post. Going to read more about thrive market and that essential oil, never heard of them before.
Let me know if you have any questions! 🙂 I love them both!
I love the idea of a Lunch Bunch! I bet kids these days are already so entrenched in technology and devices (TV, tablets, smart phones, etc.) on a daily basis, so giving them a break where they can just sit, talk, and enjoy each others’ company is huge!

Clary Calm is one of my staples. doTERRA is everywhere in our home. I teach various classes about essential oils all the time. We have a big holiday workshop coming up. I’m thinking of doing it live and online. It should be a blast!!

I feel too lazy to order any FMCG products online. Publix is my savior and every weekend, I go and get things that I want for a week. I do love essential oils. My favorite is lavender oil from Bath and Body and its very refreshing!

I am hearing about Thrive Market for the first time, but sounds like a great online shopping idea with huge discounts as well. I would love to check their App & see how it works. Being a lover of essential oil, I would love to try that ClaryCalm as well.
Wow, I never heard about Thrive Market before, but the idea of sounds pretty cool. I would definitely look it up. I’m not big of a internet shopper unless I really have to do it.

I do not order through Thrive, but I need to check it out! I do not use Essential Oils at home, I do have a few samples, but have not been able to get into any habit with them.
It’s intersection about your lunch bunch.Don’t use essential oils to much and I love shopping apps with discounts

I love the lunch bunch. My grandma used to have one. It should meet through life.
