So this is 30... (and yes, my cake is a fart joke, because no matter how much I age, bathroom jokes will never get old). 🚶‍♀️💨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a friend text me saying "I hope this decade is as exciting as the last," and it took me a second to sit with that because my 20s were packed with major life changes, big moments, high highs and low lows... (but aren't all of our 20s?)
Part of me thinks "yeah, let's make the 30s just as exciting!!" and the other part of me thinks "... I'm a little tired and I kinda want to rest for a while." 😂😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here's to a new decade, and never slowing down... or slowing down when you feel like taking a rest... or just doing whatever the f*ck you want.
🤘🤙

Today is our last full day in our home, and thank goodness it's a holiday so we can spend it packing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As excited as we've been to have our new home ready, we're also a little sad to be leaving this house; our first home. We were blessed with a great little spot and wonderful neighbours.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But you know what? I'm actually the most distraught about Opie... I can't explain to him that we won't be coming back and that breaks my heart. 💔
Has anyone else felt this way when you've moved with pets?

This photo was taken just minutes before she bucked me off and galloped all the way back to the barn.

True love. 💛

I told a group of women; some friends, some strangers; that I wished I felt more attractive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two months ago, I was in a slump. I was stressed to the max, my skin was breaking out, my hair was constantly limp and greasy, and I was re-wearing the same outfit (sweats) day after day.
I was avoiding the mirror because I didn't want to see the reflection looking back at me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I admitted to this group of women how I felt, and honestly, I had no idea of the words coming out of my mouth until they did. I didn't even realize how I felt until the tears started. I just wanted to feel attractive again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After that confession, I booked an eyebrow wax and a facial. And then, I went to @elegantstepstruro and bought some @merlenormantruro makeup. I started taking my collagen again regularly, and I began putting more effort into my morning routine, which now includes blow-drying my hair, using a dry brush on my body, using a Gua Sha on my face, etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This photo of me - taken this weekend while moving - is me without makeup on, my hair is in two buns under a ballcap, and I'm wearing sweats.
But I feel different. ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is something to be said about the power of taking care of yourself. Of putting in effort for Y.O.U.
It can seem silly to think a brow wax, or a new supplement, can change how you feel about yourself, but it can.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's not about the desire to fit into society's idea of "beauty," it's about knowing that you are worthy of taking care of yourself and that you can smile when you come across your reflection.

I was recently on a @wsntruro Zoom call, and one woman, a musician whom I had never met, was telling us about her upcoming projects and all the inspiration she's been feeling, and ideas she's been having. What struck me differently about her though, was that I could literally feel her enthusiasm and inspiration; like, I felt it in my chest as though there was a swirling ball of energy being transferred from her to me - I kid you not! 🔮
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It made me realize that while we were originally used to having energy exchanges with people in person (as in, you run into someone and immediately feel like you're in a good mood, or you have a chat with someone at work and then you're grumpy... energy exchange), we're not as used to having them virtually... but we could be. ✨
This woman brought so much life to our Zoom call, from my perspective, so I wonder, could we commit to doing the same?
- Could we show up on IG stories, in Zoom calls, and through FB posts (etc) with energy, enthusiasm, positivity, and excitement?
- Could we talk about the things that are inspiring us versus the things that are discouraging us?
- Could we share our wins and excitement without shamefully dimming our lights or brushing them off, and then comment and share when others are sharing their wins and excitement too?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It may seem small or silly, but I bet it could make a big impact on ourselves, our friends/followers, and how we view the virtual world we're all living in. I mean, if we're going to live in a virtual space, why not make it awesome?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS: I am definitely *actually* typing something in this photo, can't you tell?! 🙊
