My favorite notifications lately? THESE RIGHT HERE My favorite notifications lately? THESE RIGHT HERE. 😭👏🏽🖤

Listen, I can talk about my own wellness journey ALL DAY LONG, but when my phone starts lighting up with messages from customers sharing their experiences? THAT’S A WHOLE DIFFERENT KIND OF EXCITEMENT! 🔥

The nervous first-timers realizing the process wasn’t nearly as intimidating as they expected.

The customers celebrating their weight-loss milestones.

The messages about feeling better, having more energy, and noticing changes they’re genuinely excited about.

And yes…apparently some of y’all are going to need a new wardrobe. 😂🛍️

THIS is why I love what I do.

Not just sharing products, but being someone my customers can ask questions, lean on for accountability, and celebrate their wins with.

Because behind every one of these messages is a REAL person with REAL goals. And getting to cheer them on? That’s the good stuff.

Curious about my supplement and peptide journey or what my customers are sharing? 💌 Comment “READY” or send me a DM. I’m happy to share my experience, answer questions about the process, and help you identify what products would be best for YOU! 🫶🏾

Justin: “Babe, you look really small today..” Me: Justin: “Babe, you look really small today..”

Me: “really? you think? 👀 Do I look ok?”

Justin: “You’ve always looked great, but you look really good! I’m proud of you!”

Me: “☺️😚 oh stooooop…..but no keep going!” ha!

LISTEN! If I don’t stick to my upgraded wellness routine for any other reason, I’m going to stick to it for my damn self-esteem and the renewed sense of confidence it has given me! 

Unless you’ve personally experienced it, you just won’t understand. But being a woman and turning 40 is NOT, I repeat, is NOT for the weak! Your body changes in ways you never even imagined, and with that comes being discouraged and extremely hard on yourself when the reflection in the mirror isn’t what you had been use to for the prior 39 years! 

So today, I’m celebrating the fact that I got out of my own way and made the decision to get back to ME!  Heck, ya’ll just might see me come out of retirement and sign up to run another marathon! 😂🎉 Who’s joining me?!? Any takers👀👀

Happy Monday Friends! Don’t forget to go be great today! 💪🏽

Every time someone asks me about my peptide journe Every time someone asks me about my peptide journey and says, “But I’m still on the fence…” 👀

My response? BABY, I LIVED ON THAT FENCE FOR ALMOST A YEAR! 😂👏🏽

I questioned everything. Overthought everything. And talked myself out of even exploring my options more times than I can count.

But here’s what I’ve learned and what I now tell everyone to else……Give yourself 3 MONTHS.

Not just 3 months on peptides. Three months of getting serious about YOU. LOCK IN. 🔒 Your nutrition. Your water. Your movement. Your consistency. And give yourself a real opportunity to see what changes.

Because 3 months are going to pass whether you do something differently or not. 👏🏽

I’m almost 17 pounds down, feeling more like myself again, and STILL working toward my goals! 🖤

The weight gain.

Father’s Day Gift Guide

Hey Guys! Father’s Day is just around the corner (Sunday, June 18th), and if you’re anything like me, you always struggle with what to get your “old man!” Well for some reason, this year shopping for my dad will be a lot easier.  My dad turned 60 this past November, and with his older age, he has now turned over a new leaf and has started being more vocal about things he wants and things he would like to do.

So this gift guide started a couple weekends ago when I was face-timing with my brother and his kids, and my dad was there too, and he popped on the screen and saw my husbands sunglasses and made the comment / subtle hint that “those sunglasses sure would be a good gift idea for father’s day!” haha I about died laughing!  My dad is the type that NEVER asks for anything, and you could literally go pick a rock from your backyard, wrap it up and give it to him, and he would think it was the best thing since sliced bread.  So for him to drop his subtle, but not so subtle hint about the sunglasses, that kicked my gears into overdrive and I started to think of other things that my dad may like.

So I put together this little gift guide to help you figure out what to get that special father figure in your life.  Happy Shopping everyone! 🙂

Rayban Classic Black Wayfarers – I think this look absolutely perfect on just about anyone, male or female.  They are very slimming and flattering on the face and the classic looks goes with just about any outfit, whether casual or more dressed up.

Issey Miyake Cologne – This cologne has been one of my absolute favorites for as long as I can remember.  I have purchased this several times over the last ten years for my husband.  This was the only cologne my brother would wear when he was in high school, and I remember loving the scent. So my first gift giving occasion I had with my now husband back when we were just dating, of course the only option was to get him some “Issey” as my brother would say!

Beats by Dr. Dre (Wireless Earbuds) – These are a new staple in my house.  I got my husband Justin a pair a few weeks ago, and he literally does not go anywhere without them.  I figured for my dad, these would be good for him to use while mowing the yard.

Relic Troy Dual Time Men’s Leather Watch – I came across this watch and it just looked like a timeless piece. One that can go with just about anything, not too big, and not flashy.

Tommy Hilfiger Gingham Dress Shirt – I just love gingham print on men. Its slimming and flattering for all. And that fact that is TH, you know the quality is great, and it comes in many color options, as well as fit options.  This is also versatile in the sense that it can be worn in the fall, or in the spring/summer with the sleeves rolled up for that classic preppy look.

Sperry Top Siders – Again, a summer staple that you can’t go without. These shoes are so comfortable and so easy to just slide on and go.  Not to mention they lasts FOREVER!!

Kiehls Men’s Travel Set – Every man needs a travel bag with all of their skincare and shaving essentials ready to go at all times. This little kits has everything your man/dad could need.

    These are some great ideas! We’ve rotated through the same few gifts over the past several years. When we were little we’d either get him a dress shirt for work, golf balls, a new tie, or a bag of coffee. He’s a simple man. 😉
