Took a mental health break from social media but I’m back! @Callie | Pilates Instructor 💗 is my go to girl! Love her YouTube channel for all my at home workouts! Scrubs are @mandalascrubs use code KEELY10 for a discount on your next set! #dayinmylife #vlog #morningroutine #radtech #healthcare

2/17 Edited to

... Read moreAfter stepping back from social media to focus on my mental well-being, I found that incorporating consistent physical activity at home was a game-changer for my health and mood. Pilates, especially through Callie's YouTube channel, provided me with approachable, effective workouts that fit seamlessly into my busy schedule. What I love most is how these sessions strengthen my core and improve flexibility, making me feel more energized throughout the day. Working in healthcare as a rad tech means long hours in scrubs, so finding comfortable and stylish scrubs is essential. I discovered Mandala scrubs and fell in love with their fit and fabric quality—plus, using the code KEELY10 saved me on my next purchase, which is a great perk! Taking a break from social media helped me gain perspective and reset my daily habits, but returning has allowed me to share authentic experiences like my morning routine and wellness journey with a supportive community. For anyone considering a similar mental health pause, I highly recommend focusing on physical activities like Pilates and investing in quality clothing that supports your work and lifestyle. It’s these small changes that have made a big difference in my day-to-day life.
