7/2 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who's navigated the challenges of staying fit after 40, I can personally attest to the power of just getting up and moving. The phrase "Move your body, excuses can wait, get that ass up" really resonates because it’s not about perfection—it’s about commitment to yourself. For moms over 40, life can get busy with family, work, and countless responsibilities, making exercise seem like a luxury. But I've found that integrating small, consistent movements throughout the day makes a huge difference. Whether it’s a brisk walk, dancing around the house, or a quick home workout, these moments add up. One important aspect is embracing the mindset of #StrongNotPerfect. This means accepting that every day won’t be ideal, but showing up despite that is victory. I also recommend setting realistic goals, like moving for just 10-15 minutes initially and building from there. Another helpful tip is removing the mental barrier of excuses. When I catch myself making excuses, I remind myself that starting is the hardest part, and once I’m moving, my energy and mood improve. Lastly, joining communities or using motivating hashtags like #getup and #noexcuses can provide encouragement and accountability. Remember, age is just a number, and your strength comes from perseverance and self-love.

My Co-Workers were obsessing over this perfume!
I love how fruity and sweet this perfume is. When I looked at the notes, I was really surprised because I don’t get any rose, moss or patchouli (which I love) ! I think it’s a safe blind buy. Also I’ve heard is a great cheaper alternative to Kayali’s Eden Juicy Apple 🫶🏽 #perfumes #perfumelover

Summer Waxing Tip You Haven’t Heard
The secret to a smooth wax isn’t just in the technique—it’s in the temperature. Your wax should look like thick cake batter and cling to the stick for at least 5 seconds before dripping. That’s your sweet spot. Too hot and it’ll be runny (and risky). Too cool and it won’t grip the hair right.
