DISCIPLINE is Key!

Earlier this week on my Instagram story I said “my life is a series of deadlines”.

Whether that’s for my day job as a teacher or my passion products, deadlines are crucial. Discipline is key. Although I’m still working on my balance, it still comes down to just that. Once you develop a habit of discipline, you truly put in the work when you don’t feel like it. Here’s some tips that help keep me disciplines to pursue my passions outside my day job!

Set Time Aside!

After a long day of teaching, usually I set aside time to work on my outside passions. That can be researching future products coming out, looking at different bloggers, content creating, etc. Set aside time even if its for 30 minutes! That helps you to stay inspired and also helps you to give back to yourself. We are given time daily. We choose what we do with those hours daily.Use your time wisely.

Figure Out How You Work

This may seem easy, but figuring out how you work is so crucial! Do you work better in the morning or are you more productive in the night? Are you a silent worker or do you like music playing? Personally, I work best early in the morning and late at night. I love to put on instrumentals as I am working. One of my favorite Spotify playlist is called Chill Lofi Study Beats. I can literally work for hours at my desk listening to instrumentals. I think knowing how you work will allow you to be more productive!

Research Constantly

Being a blogger, yes you have to be YOU! Your individuality is what will make people relate to you, however what topics are currently trending relevant to your brand/blog? What products are coming out? I love researching because it keeps me extremely inspired and motivated to create content. Always do your research.

Accountability Buddies

I believe that you have friends for different reasons. You must make blogger friends that are like minded. There will be those times when you just feel like giving up. You’re doubting yourself and next thing you know no content for weeks! These friends come into play like no other. You need people that blog who are willing to encourage you in your blogging journey.

Remind yourself of your WHY

Always remember why you started and how far you’ve came. To most believers, that may seem pretty vain, but it’s nice to see your development and growth in the process. How God moved you from one place to the next. It’s beautiful. When you remember why you started and who you are doing it for, it helps to put a fire under your butt!

Remember, you don’t get anywhere by only working when you feel like it!

Keep fighting daily.

Love y’all!

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.
A little vitamin sea and D does the body good. 🌊☀️🌱
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.
