Happy New Year

-
2022 was a year of ups and downs. I saw a lot of good and bad changes in both work and life that will change how I do things this year. I won't go into a lot of detail because these are all really minor tweaks here and there.
This year I want to do more without overextending myself. Last year I tried to work, go to school, be a good mom, and actually enjoy things I couldn't before. Of course, work and being a mom took precedence over the other things and there was really only 1 slot left for me. If I can only focus on one 3rd major life implementation. I have to be serious and understand that I can't go half way. 
This does not include the minor things that I've been trying to improve such as learning to drive, create a social media presence, and give myself a sustainable morning/night routine. 
I cut my hair the week before new years 


Career-
This year is a pivotal year for my career. It's not a job I can just quit and missing a day is not an option. I want to do my best to progress my career and get to the position I want to be in and if by the end of it it feels like it isn't meant to be then I won't stress it. At the same time I'm going to be looking at the other things that I can do if it doesn't work out. 
This was around Christmas time 


Life-
I will have a whole another post on the biggest change BUT for now, I just want to focus on bonding and building healthy routines. I want to actively do things with my 2 daughters on the weekends that is age appropriate for both a 1 year old and a 5 year old. It's hard to do both but I keep feeling like I need more time with them. I also need to look into enrichment programs for my oldest. I would like her to get into a sport or some type of active group activity. Lastly, I want a nightly routine that gets them both to sleep in their own room and at a reasonable time. I can't do much in the morning because of my work schedule.

I'm thinking of making a vision board... later maybe. 
Well that's all I have for now. 
Stay Hydrated! 🥤

Updated skincare routine | May 2024

Good morning, ladies! So last time I posted about the skin care routine it was BYOMA set that I found to see if I'd like the brand. Since then, I have gone to buy full size products, and this is what I have in my routine today. (I put this in order of how I use them) I start off with creamy jelly cleanser and tri-ceramide complex, licorice root, and green tea. It's a great gentle cleanser so it won't be able to take off all of your make up in the first go. It has a good lather and doesn't have any irritating fragrances. Next, I go in with the hydrating serum it also has the Tri-ceramide complex but with this one has squalene and glycerin in it. I like this one because it goes into the skin really easy and smooths on real quick. It makes this nice hydrating layer. I really love this specifically in the winter because it was just incredibly dry here in Colorado.  Onto the real moisturizing product, the moisturizing gel sunscreen it also has a tri-ceramide complex but t...

Running & Cardio | My Fitness Journey

-
Image
Running and cardio has become a very integral part of my fitness routine. I run three times a week and then use the Stairmaster at least once a week, usually. I used to be horrible at running. I used to be incredibly slow. When I first started, the goal was always to run 2 miles, but it was also to run 2 miles quickly. When I started, I would run two miles in 23 minutes and some change, but my goal was to run two miles in 18 minutes and 30 seconds. It took me two months to hard training and injuring myself, but I eventually got to do it. For years after that, I still hated running, but I still had to do it. It wasn't until I took matters into my own hands that I was able to get better.  For years, I was made to train in groups who led the training based on their own abilities and just assumed that everybody else would be able to do it. A lot of people got injured but eventually we all just kind of were released into the gym and made to train whatever we needed to train. And I was v...

Supplements | My Fitness Journey

-
Image
When I started my fitness journey, I would try supplements here and there, but I wouldn't stick to any of them. I wasn't really keen on why I would need them and what they were good for. I would try protein powders and not like the taste and the kinds that we had were not even the optimal for me. And when I would try pre work, I would try them just for fun. The flavors were okay enough to be like "I can take this", but I never added it into my routine until years later. The first supplement that I would stick to somewhat is protein powder because I knew that you needed to feed the muscle for it to grow. So, I would add that in to help when I wasn't eating enough. More years later when I had issues getting the energy and the motivation to workout, I would add in some pre-workouts and there are a couple ones that I've tried that I liked and then there's some that I really did not like. In the end I had to experiment a little to figure out what I liked, and I...
