Self Care is also holding yourself accountable for what you say and do and apologizing authentically. It’s addressing your own problematic thoughts and behaviors. Removing toxic, not challenging people or situations from your life. Remove the words “you/he/they made me feel” recognize only you can feel a way. No one pulls your strings love you control how you feel. You have the power over your emotions and feelings. Happiness comes when you start to take control of the inner workings or your mind, thoughts, and emotions. Let go of the negative self talk, let go of victimization, and create your boundaries. Protect your space and your vibration. This is the season of healing and self care. Understand what self care means to you because it goes beyond the physical aspect too. ❤️‍🩹 Happy Saturday, remember you are loved. #instagood #goodvibes #love #selfcare #photo #Texas #light (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSkQx3KLvoy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have you heard the saying, “Summer bodies are made in the winter”? What are your thoughts on it? Comment below👇🏽 I never quite understood that concept till I realized most people crash diet 2 weeks before an event or in summer months. I’ve literally had girls message me I have 30 days to lose 50 pounds 😳...no! What happens is you may lose weight fast but you’ll find yourself more stressed about your diet. You will not enjoy the experience itself. That’s not the weight that stays off long term. You’ll likely gain it back and then some because of the “crash” approach. If you take on your body transformation in the winter you’re not so rushed. You have time to make mistakes and get back on. You learn long term approaches that help you keep your results. Learning to meal prep, read labels, and work on your internal food issues is key to long term results. Most of us relate emotion to food in some way. Do you eat your feelings? 🙋🏽‍♀️ The goal isn’t always to be skinny. Most times we just want to be happy in our skin and that doesn’t involve a scale number or dress size. The biggest transformation is the mental one which takes time. You can’t change your mental perceptions with food you have in 2 weeks! Does that make sense? When it comes to body image I teach my clients that once you love yourself from within, the outside comes together easier. December, January, and February are the best months to get started! Take your time because the process is never easy starting out. Allow yourself time to fall in love with the process and find what works for you. I’m leaving for a cruise 🚢 to the Bahamas in 2 weeks. Sure I’m 5 pounds heavier I have some rolls on my back a little cellulite on my thighs but you know what... I’m good! I have 4 kids and I feel good I have a good soul. I learned through fitness that I am good enough. I’ve noticed quite a bit of bad stuff on the Internet regarding health and fitness. I’ve been thinking about diving back in and taking a small number of clients again looking for a body transformation.

“I’m stronger because I had to be, I’m smarter because of my mistakes, happier because of the sadness I’ve known, and now wiser because I learned.” We have all been through things and your level of “enough” is based on your life experiences. How strong you are is based on what you’ve been through, how grateful you are is based on what you’ve gone without. I find the people who been through the most love and feel more. I’m naturally attracted to people who have been broken by life simply because they are more grateful for it. If you didn’t fight for it, like really fight, how grateful are you for it. I gravitate towards those who have a similar past. We have an understanding of each other and our views are similar because we’ve know sorrow and we appreciate on another level. I don’t want to fix you I just want to appreciate that you see it like I do. Surround yourself with different people but understand not everyone views the world as you do. Based on our past and up bringing our levels of love, loyalty and appreciation will vary. If you can really grasp and accept this you’ll avoid a lot of hurt in life. “Who fixes broken people? Is it only other broken people, ones who've already been ruined? And do we need to be fixed? It was the messiness and hurt in our pasts that drove us, and that same hurt connected us at a subdermal level, the kind of scars written so deeply in your cells that you can't even see them anymore, only recognize them in someone else.” -Leah Raeder #love #life #instagood #goodvives #Texas #happy #insta (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSNJzRZB1Fa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let’s stop telling kids “don’t get too dark this summer” Can we please embrace our dark skin. As I child I grew up so insecure about how dark I got with the sun because my family would make fun of me and call me names. I only found out as I got older that my Grandfather was of Aztec decent but they were ashamed of it. They felt they were looked down on by others especially coming from Mexico. Not everyone had dark skin but me and my dad were blessed with it as well as some of my uncles who picked on me about it. My mom was pale white like milk and she would tell me the sun loves me and I was kissed by it. My dad broke that cycle of shame and educated us on our culture. He was proud of it and occasionally took us to pow wows. He would come out of the stands and dance when they allowed it. He did his best to help us understand who we are and how to connect. As an adult my goal is to get as dark as I can in the summer. I wear sunscreen of course but I love being in the sun and if you let me I would bake under the sun all day. If you have children 👶🏽 let’s stop the cycle of making them feel insecure about their skin color, their weight, or their preferences. As long as they are happy and healthy let’s get to a place where we just love others without making them feel like less. Children are so impressionable, the smallest negative comment may impact their life forever. Keep your words uplifting and loving. ❤️ #simms #aztec #chicana #mexican #love #melanin #sun #instagood #goodvibes #nativeamerican (at Broken Bow, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR7CbpgB5Qx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Say goodbye to ingrown hairs, PH imbalances that cause infections, odor after urinating and after sex. No more suffering from vaginal dryness. Finally an intimate area that is hydrated and soft to the touch. Purchase my Luxury Vaginal Soap and the Vaginal oil on Apothecarybymariza.com link in my bio! Use my code 10OFF. I offer these in a bundle and separate. 👉🏽My Hand Poured Feminine bar is made with a triple butter base for maximum moisturizing. I also use organic apple cider vinegar to balance PH. This soap is packed with triple the antibacterial power it includes neem oil, tea tree oil, and neem oil to rid or prevent vaginal infections and bad rid bacteria. You can use this on your vaginal area anywhere that hair grows while in the shower. This is perfect for those who are sensitive and can’t use body soap on your vaginal area. 👉🏽The oil can be applied after a shower to your vaginal area. You apply it anywhere hair grows, keep it external and do not insert. When skin gets dry it ages faster causing a thick rough feeling with the skin wrinkling. Why do we hydrate our body and face but miss our private areas? When the vaginal skin is kept moist using the right oils it will stay soft and plump. This oil goes over and beyond delivering multiple benefits. My Yoni oil contains neem, which works to discourage bad bacteria, or tea tree oil, also a natural antibacterial as well as an anti-fungal, making it particularly effective against recurring yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis (BV). My soap and oil are my best sellers! Get once for yourself and get another for a friend. These products are something every woman should be using! Try them you’ll thank me later 🥰 #yoni #yonisoap #yonioil #feminine #vaginalsoap #BV #vaginalsteaming #yonisteaming (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRzgnlzBtZO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Try my best selling soap 🤍 Available on Apothecarybymariza.com use the code 10OFF Sea Moss Soap Sea moss is nature's collagen, with amazing emollient properties that hydrate and soothe the skin, promoting a healthy, youthful appearance. It rehydrates the skin because of its high mineral content, leaving the skin silky and smooth. Vitamin K present in sea moss deals with keeping skin’s elasticity intact, and promoting collagen production. This helps to plump your skin, smooth out wrinkles, diminish dark circles and bags under the eyes, tone and fight the signs of aging. Sea moss also helps treat several other skin disorders like sunburns, rashes, eczema, psoriasis. Irish moss is a type of red algae harvested from the Atlantic coastline of North America, Great Britain, Iceland, and, as the name suggests, Ireland. Also known as carrageen moss, Irish moss is a rich source of protein and various minerals. (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRj3e2HhHaE/?utm_medium=tumblr

If your life is making you miserable day in and day out….start over. Too many times our thoughts go to ending life but in reality you can start over at any moment in time. Find new friends, get a new job, move to a different state, come up with some new life goals. Distance yourself from everything and everyone and rethink where you are at. I know it’s scary by life is too short to be unhappy. I recently helped someone close to me realize their environment was the issue not them. By relocating they found peace. We get sucked into these toxic spaces where we allow others to mistreat us or we only find happiness in another person. We lose ourselves and forget that you are solely responsible for your happiness. I’m a sensitive empath so being around too many people or living somewhere a high footprint feels overwhelming to me. Being out in the forest I’m able to connect with myself better. It took a long time for me to consider that my environment was not right for me and contributed to my wellbeing. Sometimes you only need to make slight changes within your space to feel an uplift of positive energy within yourself. Clean your house out, safe and light white candles. White roses absorb negative energy. Create your altar with some stones that call to you. Wear protective stones daily to help keep your energy and emotions balanced. As you can see in this photo I keep my bracelets stacked. You can purchase all of this on my store the link is in my bio. Some people need to make major changes. I’m a firm believer that you wake up with yourself no matter where you go so if you are struggling with emotional issues you need to address those first. Running away from place to place won’t fix those things. One of the first things I did before making this move was to address my emotional well-being. Moving to into the forest was the next step in my journey. If you need help comment below I’m happy to help you as best I can. Pictured here is my rooster Godzilla. He takes care of 3 chickens in the coop. He’s only 3 months old so he’s still a baby but he’s pretty tame when he see’s me he calls out to me. If I let them out he will follow me around. ❤️ my 🐓 #rooster #texas (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRZoFlmhkLC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Being disconnected has brought me so much peace. It’s been over a year since I’ve thought about having to take a fancy photo for social media. It’s been 6 months that I’ve been living deep in the forest. I feel like I shed a part of myself to get back to who I am now. Removing layer after layer to get to who I was before all the trauma. The real me, finding the things I’m really passionate about. Feeling things I’ve never felt before. You don’t realize how many walls you put up until you have to take them down. I’ve thought “I’m happy” then struggled to say it to someone else out loud. Because it was really happy not the stuff we fake in front of others or say to make them feel comfortable. I’ve never felt this level of happy before it’s just content and stress free with no pressure. I look around and feel grateful for my house and the life I have now. I never complain and since I’ve been here have never felt negative about anything. It’s been a good little challenge because getting this house together has been ongoing. Social media has really taken a back seat for me. I never realized how much stress I put on myself mentally and physically to post daily. It drains you when it’s the center of your existence. I found I couldn’t really enjoy moments when my focus was getting the perfect photo to share lol. Moving forward I’ll post when I can, I’ve received so many messages from people who say they get inspiration from my words so I’ll focus on sharing more. Thank you to everyone who has supported my through all my transitions over the years. Thank you for liking my posts and leaving me comments. I read all of them and they help me in times I need a boost. Many of you have supported my store Apothecarybymariza.com in so many ways and I’m grateful for you. Being out in the country making soap and tea is everything and it’s because of your support I’ve been able to do all of this. 💜 I hope you all have a beautiful Saturday and I hope you slowly start to remember who you really are. Dive into the spiritual work needed to find your own peace. (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKQN6JhU8E/?utm_medium=tumblr

🧼Men’s soaps got a new look! They are now designed to scrub and they are bigger for a larger hand. These can be used by women as well but they do have a masculine scent. Palo Santo soap ❤️ Benefits of Palo Santo Smells great! Rich in calming, brain-oxygenating terpenes Clears negative energy, replacing it with positive energy All-natural, anti-bacterial cleaning agent. ❤️Men’s Charcoal Soap Designed with men in mind because of the benefits of the Charcoal. It removes facial and body acne from sweating at work or in the gym. Activated charcoal soap is known to be highly beneficial in the treatment of acne. It not only aids the removal of toxins, but also removes skin impurities thus helping in the treatment of acne. It even clears facial marks resulting from acne. It also contains lemon grass. The lemon grass benefits for your skin are in abundance, actually. The herb is packed with vitamin A and C, so works hard to keep your skin and hair glossy. It also has astringent properties, which help to minimise your pores, as well as keep your oil levels balanced. The men’s charcoal soap is hands down my go to soap. Also just added a new men’s luxury soap scented with black coral and moss.

🙏🏽 How you perceive the world is everything. Think of your perception as glasses you wear. They may need to be cleaned or even changed. We speak to others as if they perceive the world as we do. Sometimes you have to explain in detail what you mean to someone. I have had many instances where I was legitimately complementing someone and they took it as an insult. I had to step back and say was I wrong? As time went on I found people take things based on their current mood and situations. Think about how you take things when your in a bad mood and then think of how you take them when your in a good mood. If I’m in a bad mood or a bad space I get annoyed easily and I take things to heart. The smallest comments can set me off. BUT when I’m in a good mood things normally slide right off. I listen and read alot of personal development I try to do it daily. This helps in the way I perceive the world and people. I’ve become so much more understanding to others views and I learned it’s not always about me. A few books I recommend, The 4 Agreements, The Power (Secret), and The mastery of Love. Change how you perceive the world and those around you. Communicate your feeling more and ASK people when your unsure what they ment. Communication is the key that unlocks everything that silent shit is for the weak. Once your perception becomes open and positive a door to life opens. You’ll become free and happier. You’ll be gentle and loving. Putting my walls down and not using anger as a guard changed my life. I’m open to all the blessings coming my way. If I don’t say it enough, God thank you for my second chance. ❤️ #inspiration #perception #love #instagood #blessed #godschild #godscreation #lifeisbeautiful #advice #fitmom #fitness #lifestyle (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQl_V8dBNe-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let me tell you something powerful .... YOU are the only one with the power to make yourself happy. No one can create happiness for you. You carry that within you. People bring it out in you occasionally but you have to know it’s within you. No one can make you feel a way. You choose to feel good or bad. Don’t ever give anyone that kind of power over you or hold that power. How you feel is all up to you. Here is another key… you can still love people even if they don’t love you. Your love is free and the feeling doesn’t have to be mutual in order for you to feel it for someone. When you chose love in your heart and figure out you control your emotions you’ll be unstoppable. “Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.” What are you choosing today? Drop an emoji in the comments that describes it and let me know. #happy #love #life #advice #beautiful #hope #inspiration #blessings #positivevibes #vibratehigher #kauai #hawaii #poipubeach https://www.instagram.com/p/CP86XNPBt08/?utm_medium=tumblr

You are the only one who can make or break how successful and happy you are. The power of your thoughts daily can propel you or block you. It took so long for me to realize I was the one killing my own success at times. My thoughts, my words, my beliefs, all played a major part. I used to self sabotage my success all the time because I didn’t feel worthy of it. Success or being celebrated makes me uncomfortable. As a child all I knew was chaos, my childhood was filled with trauma and sadness. It became a normal feeling so as an adult so I would create those situations around me to feel normalization. Good, successful, or happiness was foreign. I did this without even realizing it which is the worst part. I just felt like I would fail right before major success. Not realizing it was me who was doing it. When I became aware of my self sabotaging habit I had to take a step back and work on myself. I found by changing my belief in myself I changed me whole life. I stop believing the cycle of negativity I was living in. Awareness is key and then taking the steps to work on undoing those bad. Learning about self sabotage and the addiction to unhappiness was eye opening. I had no idea one could be addicted to chaos. I could go on and on with the subject but in short I want you to check yourself and ask “I’m I self sabotaging my success and am I addicted to a lifestyle of chaos so much that I create it. We’re not always the victim in life sometimes we are the instigator. Make that shift today I’m currently re-reading Secret The Power I encourage you to check it out and tell me how it changes your life. 🦋 #awareness #life #resilience #perception #abuse #trauma #love #healing #thought #lessons (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP1XX-QhnN-/?utm_medium=tumblr
