I used to think I had to ‘get smaller’ before I deserved to go to the gym. Spoiler: that’s a lie. The gym is for getting stronger, healthier, happier… whatever YOUR goal is, no one else’s! You don’t need to change your body to earn that and I’m still learning this as I go but every time I show up for myself, my confidence increases 🫶🏼

5 ways to REBUILD yourself quietly 💕

rebuilding yourself is not this cute, aesthetic journey people make it look like. It’s raw. It’s uncomfortable. It’s spiritual. It’s you sitting with memories you tried to forget, and patterns you swore you were done with. It’s you admitting that you deserve more than what you tolerated. It’s you l

✨What I used to create my prayer board ✨🙌🏽✝️💞

✨Last year, I made a vision board, but many of the things I hoped for didn’t happen. Looking back, I realize it was because those plans weren’t in God’s will for me. Now that I’m more aware of God’s purpose for my life, I’ve decided to create a prayer board instead. This board is my way of bringing

A person lies in bed, covered by a white blanket, reading a green book titled "A Court of Mist and Fury." The text overlay reads "I REST. I GROW."

A person holds an open book, with text overlays discussing how rest is a requirement, not a reward, and that productivity relates to how one feels.

An unmade bed with neutral bedding is shown, alongside text listing mental benefits of rest: boosted memory, improved anxiety, and better mood.

I used to think rest made me lazy: it didn’t!

I used to have a to-do list with 30 things to do everyday, and I would just rest when everything was done. The problem was that I pushed myself too much, because once I start something, I need to go until the end. Rest for me was something we can do once we finish our things, because then we

✨Product Review: Midha Brand Skincare Collection 🌾

I kinda love it. This skincare collection is light and moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling hydrated—not oily. I think it’s free of perfume which is a plus for sensitive skin. That being said the pure rice scent does take a little getting used to. #Lemon8Box #lemon8challenge #lemon8
