I have found that some of my friends are caring for their parents or have loved ones who live independently in their own homes.
This is a very emotional topic for me. My Dad and I took care of my mother in our home while she was battling an illness. We always tried to look for ways that she could be more independent at home. We lived in a bungalow-style, one-level home; so she did not have to go up or down stairs. This made it convenient for her to move around. However, she would need me or my daddy to help her to step in and out of the tub. It would have been ideal to have had a walk in tub from Premier Care Bathing.

From my experience of taking care of my mother; and then later my Dad, it is so important to make sure there is ease of movement in the home.
I wanted to share with you five tips for your parents to regain their independence in the home if they are dealing with mobility and accessibility issues. Many at-home accidents occur in the bathroom. With the right bathroom configuration and design, that risk can be greatly reduced.
1. Never make your parents feel like a child. Your mother and father will appreciate what you are doing for them if you love them and show them respect and care for them with dignity.
2. See what obstacles your parents might have in their home and find out how they can overcome them. Some times the parent may not know that they are having challenges with everyday tasks. So, it is important for you to observe the situation and take action if necessary. If it is difficult for your parents to get in the tub or shower, a good alternative is a walk-in tub.
Premier Care is a company that really helps with offering ease of getting in and out of the tub and they also offer a free home assessment. Contact Premier Care for more details!
3. Confidence and Independence – For your parent, freedom to take that bath anytime they want is independence beyond measure. It can boost their confidence if they have struggled with the fear of staying by themselves. It is peace of mind, no only for the parent, but also for you if you do not live close by and checking in on them is not easy to do.
4. Security – Being able to safely get in and out of the tub on your own can provide peace of mind for both you and your loved one. A secure home environment that is designed for mobility issues can be just what is needed keep your loved one living in that home. Premier Care has several different bathroom design options available to meet your needs and your budget.
5. Comfort and Ease – It is such a relief to know that your loved one does not need to have any assistance while in the bathroom. To be able to get in the bathtub or shower on their is an empowering thing. Premier Care can make it happen for you and your loved one.

“Although there is a growing number of manufacturers that try to create a comparable tub, none of them have the 25 years of experience and development that Premier has utilized to perfect this life-changing product. Most other walk-in tub companies cut corners on quality and service in order to offer a lower price. Many also re-sell shoddy imitation baths that are manufactured in China.

If you are in a situation where you feel you or your loved ones may have to make a decision whether your parents may have to go into assisted living facility or a nursing home. Wait!

I am super excited to tell you about the Lotus Seed Mala that I was gifted by Romell, founder and designer of Karma Mantra.
I was contacted by Romell, who asked me if I would like to try a piece of jewelry from his website, Karma Mantra. I had not heard of Karma Mantra before, so I was intrigued and went exploring on the website.
The design variations and styles of jewelry styles are available for both women and men.
I always enjoy reading the about page to know the story behind the designs.
Here’s an excerpt from the Karma Mantra About Page:
“Karma Mantra’s entire line is a collection of hand-selected gems acquired from designer Romell Bhaala’s global journeys. Additionally, Romell uses the experiences of his travels to inspire new one-of-a-kind creations. Each item is the culmination of a powerful past shaping a transcendent future.”
It was extremely hard to select a piece that I liked, so I suggested a few of my favorites and was ready to be surprised.
My package came in the mail and when I opened the envelope, this is what was inside.
A beautiful Lotus Seed Mala and a sweet card inside that said, “JT, hope this was everything you expected and more! Peace & Love, Alexa”
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Lotus Seed Mala Styled by JTwisdom
I respect that some use the Lotus Seed Mala for meditation, kirtan or Japa, however I am wearing the Mala as a necklace styled with fashion apparel.
In the picture the necklace is styled with a very bright and bold dress that I constantly get compliments on. In the photo below, the Mala is wrapped twice around the neck in a short and long style.

I wanted to show that the necklace is very long and can be worn many different ways, the style is up to you. I layered the Mala with my jasper heart leather cord necklace for dimensional effect.

The beads are soft and really accentuated my embroidered blouse.

The beads flow so well and feel very secure. When I wore this blouse, the Lotus Seed Mala did not feel weighty at all. It was great.

Another way I styled the necklace was with a casual blue striped blouse. The look was so relaxing and cool. The shape of the beads remind me of large freshwater pearls. I keep talking about the shape because the beads are so comfortable.
