Hello again friends! I am all about self care over here. So much so, that when I fall off of my self care routine, I really notice it. I start to feel run-down, drained, and even depressed. Because of the impact it is has on me and my life, I am learning to put caring for myself on the top of my priority list. I have a two young boys who rely on me for a lot. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! However, I feel I can’t really give the people I love the best of...
Hello lovelies, We often believe as parents that we don’t have time for ourselves. I lived and breathed this way too, for years! As our babies grow into toddlers and our toddlers into school aged children, we, without realizing, carry on living with the same mindset we had when our children were babies, who didn’t sleep through the night and needed us to put our basic needs aside in order to keep them alive. As our babies grow up however, we actually don’t need to continue to put our basic needs aside. We can actually learn to let go...

Self Reflections before the New Year
Hello my loves, Before we enter a new year, it’s important to take stock of what went well in the last year, what we are proud of ourselves for, how we grew, what we overcame, and more. The energy of what went well will carry forward as momentum into the new year. It’s also just as important to be aware of how we let ourselves down, so we can forgive ourselves and try better going forward. I recorded a podcast specific to this episode where I guide you through reflection prompts which you can see below or print the...
Nobody wants to resent anyone. None of us wake up and say today I am going to feel negatively toward someone in my life. It just happens. It happens when we least expect it. Or it can happen because we expect someone to let us down again, as we’ve seen this happen before. And it can happen to any one of us. It can happen seemingly out of nowhere, or we can see it coming from a mile away. There is no standard form of resentment, but one thing rings true for most cases. Resentments happen when we expect...
Hello my loves, As I was working through some of my own personal circumstances, I realized I wasn’t putting in as much time and effort into my current goal (writing my book) as I would like. I had an aha moment when I realized why, and I also felt inclined to share the reason and process with you to get around your own current obstacles as well. I wrote a good chunk of my book, and all I need to do is write a little more, and then begin the process of putting all the pieces together into a...
Nighttime can be your most feared time because you are alone with your worries, and you may have trouble unwinding and falling asleep. Alternatively, it can be one of your most favorite times as it can be the time where you get to relax, unwind, and soothe yourself. It can become the time where you expect nothing of yourself except to destress and feel good before you drift off to sleep. A good night routine allows you to clear your mind and mentally prepare for the next day destress and unwind from the day’s events disconnect from the rest...
Hello lovelies and Happy New Year :). I hope you’re find the start of the new year to be a positive time, where you get to explore new ways to nurture and care for yourself. However I know that is not the case for everyone, and so I wanted to share with you the self care I do for myself during harder times. When life gets tough, we may not feel and act the way we do when things are “normal”. We may forgo our usual goals and routines, and the main goal may just be to get by....
Hi lovelies. If you haven’t already started journaling, but are curious about it, you’re going to want to read this. If you’re working on your personal development, journaling is an irreplaceable tool for self reflection and growth. I would even go as far as to say journaling is the most significant factor in my transformation to self love. Why? Journaling helped me to get out my thoughts and feelings in a safe place. I was able to purge and release. get out my mind and into my heart and soul (this is meditation) get to know myself on a...
Hello lovelies. Upon some inner reflection, I came to realize that my pretty home office, is more then just a workspace for me. TBH, I use it way more for my self care, then I actually do to work from! Which made me realize that it’s not about the desk, computer or workspace that makes this place magical to me. It’s the aura of the room, the peaceful harmony I’ve created in this space, the inspired feeling that ensues after entering into this serene realm. It’s a special place for me to sit with myself, to meditate, to journal,...
