Late to the party but still showing up 💅🏽✨

Welp!! I’m Back in the Chair 🫶

1/21 Edited to

... Read moreGetting back in the chair after a break can feel like a fresh page in a personal journey. Whether it’s about returning to a favorite hobby, resuming self-care rituals, or diving back into a creative process, the act of showing up matters more than timing. I’ve realized that sometimes life pulls us away, and when we finally return, it’s a powerful reminder of our resilience and dedication. The phrase 'back in the chair' resonates deeply with many of us who find comfort and confidence in familiar places or routines. It symbolizes recommitment to oneself, whether it’s through beauty routines, creative pursuits, or personal goals. Even if you feel “late to the party,” your presence is what counts, and it’s an opportunity to create new momentum. From my own experience, returning after a hiatus means valuing progress over perfection. It’s about showing yourself grace and acknowledging that self-care and creativity are ongoing journeys, not races. Each time we 'show up'—whether in front of a camera, holding a brush, or sitting at a desk—we reclaim our power and make space for growth. For those hesitant to restart their routines, consider this your encouragement. The energy you bring, the stories you share, and the steps you take can inspire others too. Sometimes, being 'late' means you’re arriving with new insights and readiness that enrich the experience. So, embrace the moment, celebrate your comeback, and know that your seat is waiting—no matter when you arrive.

What I still struggle with as a Christian woman in her late 20s 🤍
Faith, grace, and the things I’m still learning to surrender. This is a soft reminder that Christianity isn’t always black and white in our personal walk with God. I’ve had to unlearn legalism, release guilt, and come back to what Scripture actually says instead of pressure or people’s opinions.

Some days showing up is enough.
Today I made it to the gym. I started my workout, got through one set, and realized I didn't have the focus or energy to keep going. A younger version of me would have called that a failure. Today, I see it differently. Showing up still mattered. Listening to myself still mattered.

Woke up late after a rough night and had about 20 minutes to get it together… so this is what “getting ready” looks like today. A quick outfit. Hair pulled back. My favorite Shiseido sunscreen. Brushing my teeth while squeezing in a few squats because… multitasking is the workout right now.
