#2020Vision

Hey girl hey! So we legit have only one day left until the new year. Crazy, right?

2019 was an emotional rollercoaster, but looking back on it I am so proud of myself. This year taught me perseverance, resilience and also to chill. I was able to complete grad school and now I have my M.A.T in Teaching with a dual certification in Special Education. I also got engaged to the love of my life Jose who I’ll be marrying this upcoming July. Lastly, I got to live out my God Given dream for GodsGirlsBrunch.

I accomplished a lot, and I am proud of me. Now going into this new year with new chapters (including marriage and I’m sure many more changes) I have to think ahead. Here’s some things I plan on doing to live my best life in the new year!

Consistent Healthy Habits

If you follow me on IG, you know that I’ve been serious about eating better and going to the gym. After listening to many health talks and just self monitoring my mood when eating I believe there’s a big correlation between food and your mental. I feel so much better and more energetic when I eat better. This new year I would love to continue experimenting with healthy foods and new ways to cook them! I recently purchased a new read to gain some more insight on healthy eating called “Eat Beautiful: Food and Recipes to Nourish Your Skin from the Inside Out” by Wendy Rowe. I am so excited to get this cookbook y’all!

Trust My Work

One of my anchor verses when I am a worry-wart is Hebrew 13:21″God will equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.” I am fully convinced that God equips me to do his will but sometimes I hesitate in giving my all because I think it’s not good enough…BUT THEN SOMETIMES I’m like this is bomb! It’s back and forth, but it’s time to take the muzzle FULLY off in 2020 and fully be the women of God destined me to be.

Make room for family & friends

Being a teacher is time consuming y’all! Talk about emotionally and physically draining. This past year I had a lot of selfish days where I just wanted to rest. Nothing’s wrong with rest but you have to balance it out. Chilling with my close friends and family refills my cup! I always have a good time. So with that being said, I need to balance my rest days and social days. I love being myself and I reset that way, but it’s all about balance.

Hey y’all 💕💐! It’s May…also Mental Hea Hey y’all 💕💐! It’s May…also Mental Health Awareness Month!

It has definitely taken some time for me to find out what "self care" truly means to me. While wellness is a trend on social media, I really hope that we are really taking care of ourselves when needed. I love to see black women taking care of themselves and moving with ease. 

- * Healthy Habits in my Routine -
1. Journaling: Journaling can be so freeing. I use my journals to stamp things during therapy, during Bible study or just to mind dump. 
2. Eating Balanced Meals: I feel like there isn't enough importance on how vital eating nutritious foods are. Trust, I love my feel good foods, but at my big age I know food plays a part in so many ways. It’s about balance. 
3. Movement: The positive effects of moving my body has made my healing journey so much more intimate with myself. Movement is truly my second form of therapy.
4. Rest: I used to feel guilty resting from anything, but sometimes it’s totally needed. Step away to prioritize the important things: relationship with god, making those appointments (so important), having those conversations, feeling your emotions (still working on this) and just diving into real community vs. social media. Our work/productivity is not our worth. It’s okay to step away.
5. Unlearning and Learning: Whether it’s gods pruning process or realizations, unlearning and learning is important. It’s truly the only way to grow beyond what you’ve learned/know. Address the uncomfortable habits, feel the uncomfortable feelings, educate yourself on the things that matter. It will be life changing for you and your lineage.

As I get older, I become more intentional about my As I get older, I become more intentional about my choices and what to prioritize. One being, my health. Consistency is important, but for the right reasons. Here’s what helps me be consistent:

💪🏾 I no longer have a specific body goal. I focus on strength (physical and mental). I always say the gym is my second form of therapy lol. 

💪🏾 All movement counts. All workouts don’t have to be super high impact, but enjoyable.

💪🏾 Involving my husband. We’ve both been in the gym and I love that we can both share things about our journey. Helps us bond.

💪🏾 Showing myself grace. All days won’t be perfect, but showing up matters 

💪🏾 Don’t use the scale as a monitor. I don’t monitor my weight at all because getting stronger also leads to muscle gain. The scale may go up, but you appear more toned. This may trigger you and lead to you giving up. Don’t pay any mind to it.

So this first impressions video was taken over a m So this first impressions video was taken over a month ago, but I’ve been loving the @cosrx Snail Essence. I’m usually hesitant when trying new skincare products, but after doing research I wanted to try it! 

First off, what is a Essence?
An Essence is a water-based skin care product that contains a high content of active ingredients. These actives hydrate, protect, and boost the overall health of skin.

An Essence should be applied to damp skin. When essence is applied to clean skin after using a cleanser and toner, it helps restore hydration to the skin cells. When it’s applied before serums and moisturizers, it helps the skin better absorb these products.

Either way is fine. I love this Essence because it has helped with hydration, skin texture and hyperpigmentation. I love it! Have you tried this product?

Even though I don’t believe pain is a prerequisite for growth, there are times where God uses struggles and hardships to correct us. Brings us out of something we don’t have no business in 😂. And, there are times when we're simply being given an opportunity for growth—being "trained" into a deeper faith.

It sucks sometime, but it’s all about perspective.

in my fitness girl era - saying no, setting bounda in my fitness girl era - saying no, setting boundaries, prioritizing my goals etc.
Things that have helped me be consistent:

✨Being okay with missing out: Honestly, no fomo here. At all.
✨ Recognizing Distractions: Putting your head down and worrying about your journey is the most peaceful thing. Build that awareness of controllable things that has your time + attention. 
✨ Set realistic and sustainable goals: If you cannot make it to workout 5 days a week, do 2. Work your way up. 
✨ Showing myself GRACE: progress over perfection. Showing up to do things that will evolve me physically and mentally is enough. Progress.
✨ Celebrating yourself: Self validation is very important. Get good with celebrating your wins. Value yourself over the outside accolades. 
✨Getting good with systems: My therapist always says, if something goes wrong don’t criticize yourself. Always check your systems. Making lifestyle changes is all about systems (taking vitamins, fitness, meal prepping, grocery list, etc). How do you seamlessly make that apart of your lifestyle and cut out the barriers?
✨ Balanced Living: Still doing/eating things that I enjoy, but having balance is key.
