30-Minute Work Day Regimen: Face and Side Braid!

Well, I finally got the courage to do another video tutorial for my week day routine. Please bear with me, as I am terrible at this. I definitely have a tendency to mumble and go on forever so I will be growing and hopefully getting better with each attempt. This is exactly what I do every morning before I head off to work. Hope everyone can handle this learning process and benefit from my personal experience!

I did all this before heading out to surprise my dad for his 60th birthday! My stepmom and I were secretly planning all week and it was a success!!

It has been a few years since I have seen and spent time with my dad. We had some differences that I needed to mature to deal with. But life is way too short to hold grudges and not learn from. This was a good opportunity for us to catch up and bond! Hoping to see them more often and spend some time together during the holidays!!

Thirty-Onederful!

Today I turned 31, it was a different birthday vibe than I usually have. Typically, I get really into my plans and can't wait for the day to come. Maybe it is because our plans changed drastically suddenly or because of the imminent threat of the hurricane looming in the back of my mind. But today ended up much better than originally anticipated! Of course, I needed the birthday Snapchat filter! Our plans were to go to Croom which is a motocross park ran by the state. The property used to be phosphate mines in Brooksville, it has since been used for motocross celebs and locals for enjoyment. Last minute, literally 5 hours before we were supposed to head north, the boyfriend tells me that due to the pain in the rump hurricane barreling towards the east coast they are closing the park. Talk about blonde emoji facepalm, ugh!! Now, I do not ride a dirt bike, heck I barely have the coordination to walk and chew gum at the same time. But I enjoy disconnecting, hiking, and relaxin...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Love Your Lady Lumps!

Workin' on my fitness! About a month ago, I posted about my fitness journey and the inspiration that motivates me towards my goals. I've always been super teeny, petite and never really gained much weight until I was in nursing school and just before I was diagnosed with t1d. I had always wanted this fit, toned figure but wasn't educated in the slightest about how to go about doing it. I knew nothing about good and bad carbs, protein, how certain fats can be good for you, workouts, supplements, and schedules. After much educating, mostly through my favorite social media athletes (mentioned in this post ), I decided to make my goals and be motivated this year to actually progressing towards achieving them. I began a cycle of supplements today, which is what spawned this post in the first place. I've learned that fitness is all about your own journey. Every body and mind is completely different, we may have similar goals and ideas on how to get there but what may w...
