I think I found my new spot for the spring. At least until I see a snake. I want them to know my ass is ouchea. They best head the other way 👈👉🐍🚫❌ I'm enjoying my quiet time out here before my kids get home. It is nice to be caught up on chores. I am blessed to have a day off. I am blessed to have family who support my vision. It feels good to feel good. This is an affirmation🌍🌠 This is gratitude 👐

There's no right or wrong place to start. Start with what you feel you need to master right now. I'm focusing on improving my energy levels. I just do not function well when I'm tired. Having a bedtime routine is paramount when establishing occupational, social & health consistency. A relaxing bedtime routine helps prepare your brain & body for bed and promotes restful sleep. I like to have a hot shower & then journal before bed. What do you include in your routine?

Daily planning gives a sense of peace & control. Setting small goals for each day helps to prioritize time, check-off annoying calls or errands and break down large projects into a small feasible steps. Since I've started making better use of my planner I've been less anxious & more confident in my ability to adult. #planning #healthyhabits #proactive #intentional #alignment

Having children reignited a fire in me that I didn't know had gone dim. I want so much for the to feel happy, strong, empowered, fearless. The best way to teach my children to become what I want them to become is by becoming it myself 1st. #intentionalliving #healthyhabits #creatingmyowndestiny #affirmations #iaffirmthishere #familyfirst

When you were "finst ta go" but then you found out your twists ain't dry. #naturalhair #hoodeddryer #blackgirllonghair #curlygirl

So I'm going to be honest. I haven't been getting super fancy with my oils lately. I just use what I have. Today for my pre-poo I used: Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil- It is full of vitamins A, E and antioxidants  which helps to protect the keratin in hair Pure Almond Oil- It reduces shedding and smoothes the hair cuticle 100% Organic Jojoba Oil- It is most similar to your scalp's natural oil (sebum) and promotes hair growth.  Trader Joe's Vitamin E Oil- Helps retain natural moisture and also helps protect against harmful environmental pollutants. I mixed them all in a 2oz, seal-tight container. Mine is an old baby food bowl👶 And let it set while I washed the dishes. I'm trying to moisturize it as much as possible now because I'm going to straighten it next week for a special occasion   #naturalhair #healthyhair #blackgirllonghair #prepoo #washday

Today actually feels like a Good Friday. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice, grace & mercy.
