What is Etsy?

February 28, 2009/ Sara Janssen @ Nesting Gypsy

I talk a lot about Etsy on this blog...so I thought I would share this fun little video about how it all began.

Yessssssss. And yes.🙌🏻🌈✨This is one of my favorite quote books! It’s called “It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done: Motivation for Dreamers and Doers”💛Where do you find your best inspiration? #quoteoftheday #wordsarepowerful #lovequotes #motivation #createalifeyoulove

My hibiscus started blooming again today.🌺I said...”it’s so nice to see you again my friend!” And she replied, “I needed a little rest, so I pulled all my energy close and cocooned for awhile. It might have looked like I was gone...but now I’m ready to emerge again and BLOOM!”. Can you relate?☺️The magic is in the resting. The refilling. The pruning of the old to make way for the new. So needed. This is one of my favorite quotes...“Be patient with yourself...nothing in nature blooms all year.” -author unknown #encouragement #hibiscusflowers #personaldevelopment #growthmindset #selfcare #nurtureyourself

This is my magical zipper pouch of plant medicine.🌈It comes with me every day. No matter where I go. And because I can shift my health and my mood in an instant with these little bottles...and that is truly empowered living.✨I love to teach the HOW-TO of oils and when you get started with me, you unlock a whole new world (*cue Little Mermaid soundtrack🧜🏻‍♀️) of health and vitality and knowledge. It’s a world with newfound hope. A brighter outlook.☀️If you are in need of that...please send me a PM and tell me your story so that we can lock arms and love life together.💛#empoweredwomen #hope #plantmedicine #holistichealth #rainbowpower #naturalhealing

Well that just happened!😁🌈🙌🏻Matt flew to Florida on Friday and drove our new RV through a hurricane💦and back to the Texas sunshine. He was greeted by three very excited girls (and a wifey) who can’t wait to take a summer road trip in a few weeks! And no, we aren’t moving out of the house.😂Don’t be crazy...we love it here. But we WILL use this beast to tour around and connect with our dōTERRA teams and also our family! Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa are on the list for August!☀️Where are my peeps at??!👀 Oh...and and let the renovations begin!!🔨🧰💡 Be sure to follow along in the stories for all the action🤓#familiesontheroad #nomadicliving #rvremodel #ontheroadagain

Let this magic wash over you.🌈Sound on! #utah #sundance #mountainmagic #natureheals

There is something quite special that happens when you surround yourself with brilliant, sparkly, vision-filled women.✨Women who know what it’s like to race toward a dream. Women who are leaders of leaders. Who rise up no matter what.🌈I’ve shared it all with these beauties...my highest mountaintops and my darkest caves...and this trip down the Danube held a bit of magic that none of us expected. Windy sunsets and soft green grass on sacred ground.🍀It was a whirlwind for sure and there is no one I’d rather do it with. Because oh my goodness....can they make me laugh!! So much laughter and wisdom and joy shared. Thank you friends. Can’t wait to hug your necks in September.💛#dōTERRA #womeninspiringwomen #danuberiver #europeanvacation #createalifeyoulove

My mama and my sister Laura are keeping the kiddos busy back in Texas...we’ve been hearing about card games, Epic Fun visits, swimming, and a trip to the San Antonio zoo where Emma rode this huge (and gorgeous) hummingbird.🌈Bella is off at camp this week...making new friends and singing around campfires. We miss them like crazy, but know they are in the BEST hands.💛Stop growing up while we’re gone!😭

Celebrating 19 years of wedded bliss with this guy! Loving every minute.💙

My current favorites: watching my hibiscus open and close every day🌺and my rainbow boots.🌈#natureisart #rainbowsmakemehappy #hibiscus #happyflower #flowerpower #texasgardening

Family pool time today.💦The heat index is around 114 degrees, and our faces were melting off so it had to happen. Felt SO GOOD.🌈Perfect day to rest up for a big week...Matt and I leave for Europe on Wednesday for 7-day river boat cruise down the Danube. Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Budapest with all of our best dōTERRA friends. Cannot WAIT! Be sure to watch my stories for all the goodness. #summerintexas #poollife #rainbowsmakemehappy #waterheals
