While my family evacuated from the Jersey Shore (be safe everyone!!!) and the chaos of the election has tensions running high, I got a little cold that lingered, but I managed to Instagram a bit of the best parts of the week, including Gordon preparing for Halloween with his message of peace to the world!

Umcka has been my salvation.  I think it downgraded my cold from an 8 to a 3 so far!

Plus, Bob & I went to Cafe Gratitude to get smoothies.

While at Wholefoods loading up on Elderberry syrup for me & the dogs, I found this little self-filtering eco-friendly water bottle— Hydros.  Amazingly convenient!

And took a trip to the acupuncturist.  Dr. Wing at You San Clinic in Venice makes my energy all right!

Red eyes, sniffling and all, I still carted myself to the election call center where I made calls for my chosen Presidential candidate…! Americans, pleaseeee VOTE!!!!

And, all things considered, I’m thrilled for the holidays!  Hit me up on Instagram @thetaoofdana and I will follow you back to watch your life unfold in pictures!!! xoxo Dana
