If I say so myself!!!!

4/20 Edited to

... Read moreCaldode Res is a traditional Latin American beef stew that truly shines when prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. From my experience, using a mix of hearty vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and corn adds both texture and nutrition, making each spoonful satisfying and wholesome. The beef should be slow-cooked to tender perfection, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully in the savory broth. One tip I've found helpful is to brown the beef first before simmering it with the vegetables and seasonings. This technique deepens the flavor profile and creates a richer soup base. Additionally, adding fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley right before serving brightens up the dish, delivering an inviting aroma and fresh taste. For those looking to customize, you can include other vegetables like yucca or plantains for a twist that stays true to the soup’s comforting nature. Serving Caldode Res with warm tortillas or crusty bread makes for a complete, satisfying meal perfect for chilly days or when you need that homemade comfort food fix. Overall, this beef and vegetable soup offers not only warmth but a balanced meal that supports both body and soul, ideal for sharing with family or friends.

Things I Started Doing For Myself✨
Honestly, I used to put everyone else first and wonder why I felt so drained. Once I started protecting my peace, setting boundaries, and giving myself the same love I gave others, everything shifted. 💗 If you’ve been pouring from an empty cup, this is your reminder to start showing up for YOU. ✨

how to say no as a nice girl🩷
growing up a people pleaser, it was so difficult for me to say no to people. i ended up putting myself in situations that left me drained, burned out, or unfulfilled, simply because i didnt want to let anyone down. i also feared people seeing me as a rude person if i didn't do what they wanted

i guess you can say, this funk was extra funkyyy and lasted much longer than the low seasons i've had in the past. fortunately, it wasn't so bad to where i stayed in bed all day, but it did get to the point where i had no motivation to do anything, and when i did take action, i felt numb.
