Hello all. Hope you are all doing well. I really love summer. I never understand when people complain about the heat. I'd take this all day vs. the winter or fall. I really hate wearing coats and sweaters. Can you believe we have just 5 months left of this year? It feels like January was just here. Personally, it's just been a long ass year but this isn't about me. Let's random. How are celebs able to rebound from relationships so quickly?

12 Steps to Self Care

I come across a lot of these things online and once upon a time I'd view them as cliches and roll my eyes but as I get older I have realized that these reminders are so necessary because once again, we know better but we don't do better. 1. If it feels wrong, don't do it 2.  Say [exactly] what you mean 3.  Don't be a people pleaser 4.  Trust your instincts 5.  Never speak bad about yourself 6.  Never give up on your dreams 7.  Don't be afraid to say no 8.  Don't be afraid to say yes 9.  Be kind to yourself 10. Let go of what you can't control 11. Stay away from drama and negativity 12. LOVE Hope you found at least one thing that resonates? Which ones resonated with you? Have a lovely week ahead.
