Saturdays At Shop This: When The Going Gets Tough......

{ Via }

........The tough get going! It's been a long week. So many are going through so much right now following fires and hurricanes. Others have personal hurdles to conquer with their health. It's not easy out there at this moment. Finding one's inner strength is what can get us thru it all. I personally believe that every storm can feature a rainbow, if we just choose to see it. Here's to all suffering. Believe that "this, too, shall pass."  Now for some positive links to help us all weather the storm.

If you are seeking something positive to keep you going this weekend, or want to help another, click HERE. You'll find fabulous 
quotes about positivity.

A weather emergency like Hurricane Florence is hard on anyone in its' path, especially the young, the elderly, and the ill. Here's an article at goop:  A New Approach to Treating Alzheimer’s. Great information for us all.

The devastating aftermath of any hurricane changes the people and the land forever. Take Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico for example. We had our honeymoon there, so the country will always have my heart. While some argue about the number of lives claimed, others are really helping. Vogue has an inspiring story about the Young Farmers Behind Puerto Rico’s Food Revolution.  Something did and will come from the devastation. Read all about it HERE.

As I watched the hurricane coverage by some female reporters, all I could think about was hair and makeup. Of course not important at all, but there's a little part of me that knows I would be worried about those details! Three Waterproof Mascaras that I can vouch for are Christian Dior's Show Mascara......Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara......and MAC In Extreme Dimension Waterproof Mascara.

I bet there was a run on candles on the southern east coast this week. And why not have a little aromatherapy while you weather a storm? NEST Fragrances has a lovely 25% off sale going on this weekend.  Use Code: FALL25.

Have you discovered the handiness of Facial Wipes? They are perfect for airplane rides, the gym, or any situation (like a hurricane) where you are without water. Sephora has a a good selection. I have personally tried their own brand in Watermelon. Delightful!

Warriors Of The Soul.....from the symbolic pieces they wear to the powerful stories they tell......take a look how these leaders inspired the Fall Alex and Ani Collection 
of meaningful jewelry.

And finally let's not forget the pets without their owners during the storm. Look into fostering a dog or cat. They need your love right now. And I also can't resist linking you to Bitch New York, for the cutest doggie rain gear ever.

If only we all can be like this little guy........and keep on going.....and looking adorable 
while doing it.
