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! 🖤

And trust me…I’m glad I finally stopped letting fear make my decisions.

Apparently I had my 40s ALL wrong. 😂👏🏽 I@really th Apparently I had my 40s ALL wrong. 😂👏🏽 I@really thought this was just…it.

The weight gain.
The inflammation.
The clothes fitting too tight.
The energy changes.
And looking in the mirror thinking, “Well damn…is this what we’re doing now?” 🥴😂

Then I decided I wasn’t spending the rest of my 40s simply accepting a version of myself I didn’t feel good in.

So I changed some things.
Got serious about my wellness.
Stayed consistent.
And stopped talking myself out of trying something different.

16 pounds later just over the last 11 weeks……And I’m not even finished.

This chapter isn’t about trying to look 25 again. It’s about becoming the healthiest, strongest, most confident version of ME at THIS age. And apparently……what I’m doing is working!! 

If you’re in your 40s thinking, “I just want to feel like myself again,” I got you!

Friday Favorites!

Today I’m switching it up a bit and incorporating a couple of my favorite beauty products that I am absolutely loving right now!  Four of the items are around $50 or less, and of course the most expensive item is the Marc Fisher wedges, but we all know that these are worth every single penny!!!!  So here is this Friday Favorites!

 

(click on any of the items below to be taken directly to each site to shop)

 

Marc Fisher Annie Perforated Espadrille Platform Wedge ($169) –  Unless  you have been living under a rock all spring, I’m sure you have seen these shoes EVERYWHERE.  Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and just about every other blog and magazine. These shoes are just hot! They are the perfect staple wedge that needs to be incorporated into every girls wardrobe this summer and fall.   I actually purchased the Steve Madden Jaylen dupes a couple months ago, BUT after you try the real thing, the others just dont quite stand up. The MF originals have a better fit and are much more comfortable. However, if you are not one spend over $100 on a pair of shoes, the Steve Madden Jaylens are a perfect alternative. You can check them out HERE!

 

Marc Jacobs Beauty Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter ($44) – Ya’ll, this product right here is absolutely AMAZING!!  You can use it a number of ways, therefore making it one of the most versatile products in my makeup collection. Use this as an all over face product to wear alone in the spring and summer for that sun-kissed glow look when you are wanting a more natural look.  Also, mix it in with your favorite liquid foundation, and you can even use it as a highlighter over your foundation on your cheeks and nose!  the best part is the smell…..its like a tropical paradise!!!

 

Kendra Scott Alex Drop Earrings ($45) – A summer staple for me in the accessories department. Of course because they are blue, but I love earrings that dangle. I think they elongate your face and make you look thinner, and who doesn’t want to look thinner, right?!

 

J.Crew Tie Waist Cotton Shorts ($49) – The perfect summer shorts.  They are high-waist, so your waistline will appear slimmer for sure, and they are so versatile. Dress it up with a nice blouse or go for a more casual look with a soft tee or tank top!

 

Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette ($54) – A new release that has definitely been a HOTTT topic the last couple of weeks all over Instagram and YouTube.  Its received mixed reviews from a lot of its critics, but overall, I think it is very much comparable to the quality of the other palettes in the Naked line.  With the warm colors, its definitely a palette to add into your summer and fall makeup rotation!

 

Happy Shopping and Cheers to the Weekend! xoxo,
