Mother's Day is coming up and I reworked some pieces for the special day! There are prints, iPhone cases, and my personal favorite, mugs! You can check them out on Society 6. Click the "SHOP" button above!
I have such a great weekend planned for Mother's Day. My mom is coming to visit me in New York and her big gift is going to see Kelly & Michael Live. She has been planning her outfit ever since I told her the big news. We are SO excited. May 10th is just around the corner!!
Now I KNOW that I'm being a nerd, but I couldn't help but be so excited when I saw the latest video that Adriene put out. She looks just like my illustration that she so lovingly shared with all of her followers (@adrienelouise)! I smiled the entire practice... through the sweat and the pain!
I've started doing Adriene's Yoga for Weight Loss videos and they are kicking my ass. But if I plan on wearing my new yellow bikini in a few weeks I have to keep on truckin'!
Namaste loves!
It's day 30 and I feel a lot of feelings!
This last day was kind of sad but very rewarding. For the first time ever I led my own practice! Well, there wasn't much leading as it was only me, but still. It felt really fulfilling that I could do my own thing and feel great after. It was actually more therapeutic than when I follow someone else. Your mind focuses on what you're going to do next or how your body feels at that moment. There's no room for the BS of your day to sneak in.
On day 30 I think it is so important that I look back and think about where I was when I started and where I am now. I was feeling so stressed and anxious, my body felt tired, and my mind felt cluttered. Every time I practice yoga I feel lighter and happy so I knew this journey would help heal, and it did. My mind feels happier and healthy, my body feels stronger, and I definitely feel less anxious. All positives and I couldn't ask for more.
There will always be stress out there and there will always be things that make you sad or angry or aggravated but what's important is to find something that can wipe all of that away, even if it is just for 20 minutes.
Thank you so much Adriene for helping me find my center and feel good about myself once again. This was so fun and I strongly suggest participating in the challenge if you can. Adriene is such a great teacher. She moves at a slow, steady pace and you don't realize that you're building muscle until you're doing things you could do before. Also she is funny and weird and we would totally be besties.
K, I'm going to go eat some healthy homemade tacos now.
Be well, namaste, and FIND WHAT FEELS GOOD!
I can't believe it's already day 29. The journey is almost over. I'm a little sad about it but excited to dive into her other videos.
This challenge has brought be so far from when I first started. I got some of my flexibility back and I'm back in my groove of doing good for my body and my mind. I have definitely found something that I know will center me when I'm feeling a little off balance and something that will clear my mind and help me to focus on what's important. Health and happiness.
Stay happy and namaste loves!
