Is it possible?

Everyone is forever growing and learning. Though I constantly tell my 6 year old nephew, "I know everything!", that couldn't be further from the truth. I just don't. Many people don't even know themselves fully. GUILTY! What I do know is that, these days, I am absolutely dedicated to making myself a priority in my life. That doesn't mean I'm buying myself all the things or being at all materialistic. What I mean is that I am making sure to take even at least 10 minutes out of every day to focus on myself. Sometimes that includes listening to an audiobook to grow and improve mental health and mindset. Sometimes that includes indulging in skin care routines or a warm bath. Most often for me it consists of getting in my workout for the day! So much benefits come from moving your body every day! & not just physically, but mentally as well. I know for myself it is often therapeutic. It's basically an outlet where you can push the crap out of yourself and leave everything you've got all behind with the drops of sweat that fall to the floor. Rough patch, tough day, or just bottled up emotions...I am learning to turn to my sweat sessions instead of any other unhealthy mode of relief. 


Reminder to myself and to you: Life get's tough, but you are so much tougher!

It's a hard reality to realize and come to terms with the fact that growing, in all aspects, is never ending. There will be bumps in the road and there will be hard times. Life isn't all cupcakes, butterflies, and unicorns after all.  I try to stay positive each day. I try to continuously go-go-go. I try to smush down emotions and insecurities and anxiety and all the other scary things that you don't typically want to show. Pretending and making my way day by day with a forced smile at times. Because when people ask, "How are you doing?", most don't really want to know the ugly parts. "How are you doing" is typically just a formality. So, "I'm doing good!" I can just keep pretending both for others and for myself. Because it's so much easier to hide than to show the raw reality of what actually is.  I have been struggling with my anxiety again. Those that struggle with anxiety or any other mental health issues know that it's a j...

YOYO (You're On You're Own)

    Alright, so I wanted to start off by apologizing for this long post/rant, but I wanted to share some REAL TALK here! I won’t even lie try to lie, I had been putting myself on the back burner. I completely stopped focusing on my health & fitness. I picked up all those bad habits that I had dropped. I went right back into the yoyo dieting routine. Only this time, I went up to the heaviest I've ever been. I'm pretty sure so many of you have gone or are going through that yoyo dieting journey. That rollercoaster ride where you stick to your goals for a while & see such awesome results and then hit a bump in the road and fall right back into eating ALL the junk and/or skipping ALL the workouts. Honestly, the reasoning for the fluctuation is different for everyone. This time, for me, it started with family health issues; then it was my own health issues. However, when my mom recovered from her stroke and my back issues healed it really just came down to me just giv...

TRANSFORMATION!!!! Check out that photo down below! That girl on the left had absolutely 0 confidence. I was constantly trying to hide myself. There was a point in my life that I literally would intentionally pick neutral toned clothing with no print/patterns because I did NOT want to stand out or be seen. That girl on the right has grown soooo much it is unbelievable. I have been through a lot. Growth is never linear. To think, though, where I am at now blows my mind. I have gained immense confidence. Freak crop tops....I'm wearing em! 😆. I have learned to love myself throughout my journey; because you are a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously. Embrace your beauty and the journey towards becoming a better you everyday. 😊 If you're interested I would freakin LOOOVE to link arms and take this journey with you!!! I'm lookin for some ladies that need this community like I did! No more wandering alone on this journey unsure of what you're doing. Everything ...
