Expectation vs. Reality

I have come to love the peace I have with balance in my fitness journey. I used to feel so guilty for eating a sweet treat or skipping a workout. Now I have learned to listen to what my body wants and not restrict it, while also staying disciplined enough to reach my goals. One cheat day won’t set you back. Balance is so important to avoid burnout. Hope this reminder helps! #lemon8fitness #lemon8creator #lemon8fitnesstips #balancenotburnout #fitnessstrugglesarereal

Follow for more nail inspiration! ✨ I feel like I got these pretty spot on! Chrome can be so tricky to get exactly like the inspo pic, since there’s so many varieties of chrome and they all will slightly change the tone of the base color! We used a bright hot pink base and put a translucent

Expectation vs. Reality: Nail Edition 💅
I personally loved this set! I tried out a new salon that had just opened in my small college town, and even though the nail artist had never done the “aura” nail style before, she ate this look. Now, she’s grown so much and is able to do any style ppl ask for!! #nailinspo #nailedit💅🏾

What I expected vs what I got 🧥 Honestly, I was a little scared ordering this sweater online because pictures can be misleading. But the color and pattern are very similar to the website photos. It’s soft, not itchy, and fits nicely. The only difference is that it’s slightly thinner than I imagine
