Fiercely Real: 4 Ways To Find YOUR Fit

October 31, 2018October 30, 20181 Comment

I'm typing this post from the booth of my new favorite coffee shop, chai latte in hand -- Something I haven't done in a while. I'm finally off of new grad orientation as a Registered Nurse, working three nights a week at the hospital, catching up with friends & family, budgeting my money & my … Continue reading Fiercely Real: 4 Ways To Find YOUR Fit

Some days, do you find you have to remind yourself just to stop & BREATHE? I spent the past week battling a chest cold — & by “battling” I mean continuing to do all of the normal things when I should have been in bed. Let me tell you, the result wasn’t pretty. I’ve never been “good” at being sick (I mean, really, who is?!) because in my mind, slowing down = failure. • BUT, I’m trying to change that mindset. It’s weeks like these that force me to take a chill pill, drink all the warm liquids, & curl up on the couch with Season 20 of The Bachelor (no shame). 🙈 You don’t need a case of the sniffles to put your mind on pause — I’m trying out this whole “meditation” thing (link in bio!), & now I actually look forward turning my mind off, if only for 10 minutes a day... • Through meditating, I’ve learned to let my thoughts pass without dwelling on them, that there’s no perfect way to clear the mind & it’s not necessary (or helpful!) to control it. Most importantly, I’ve learned to breathe, even when it feels like I’m drowning — & I’m a better nurse because of it. ☝🏻 Today, take time to find YOUR calm within the chaos that surrounds you.

A year ago I was just coming out of rough patch. You could call it a case of the winter blues, but it was much more than that. I got this tattoo one year ago as an act of self-love & to remind myself that there’s always a spark inside of me, even when it seems lost. A year ago I never even dreamed that the happiness in my life now was possible... I guess that sometimes life happens when ya least expect it to. ⚡️ • • • #fitnurse #bolt #chaarg #chaarggirl #selflove #tattoo #growth #change #oneyear #mentalhealth #happylife #simpleandstill #bloggersofinstagram #momentsofmine #selfgrowth #positivevibes #empowered #connecticut #thehappynow #ctbloggers #youareenough

I love finding new skincare products, like these goodies from LilyAna Naturals. Vitamin C boosts collagen for plumper, fuller skin & has antioxidants to help damage from free radicals. I like to put this on under my regular moisturizer & makeup. Their retinol cream has anti-aging properties combined with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, to keep skin from drying out. Retinol is typically used to fight wrinkles & fine lines, but I’m going to try fading out some of the stretch marks on my hips & thighs (PS stretch marks are 100% normal & nothing to be embarrassed of). You can find both of these products on Amazon! • • • #lilyana #lilyananaturals #fitnurse #bloggersofinstagram #bloggergirl #bloggerlife #blogsociety #contentcreator #minimalism #beauty #skincare #kindtoskin #skincareessentials #howyouglow #happynow #simple #simplicity #prettythings

AHHH LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY! ☀️ Tbh, spending the day at “home” home was the best thing I’ve done for my mental health in a while. The second I pulled up to the beach & saw children, dogs, families, photographers walking along the shore, I couldn’t help but smile. Here’s to more days above 60 degrees & letting the waves wash away winter blues... 🌊 Where do you feel your best?
