Left July, Right November 📸 Both photo taken wearing the same leggings and almost the same pose. In between all these months, I had a lot of deloads and wrecked up meals and body clock because of (I’m being honest here) a very big change in my working environment. 🥴 It took a lot of struggle to #MakeTimeForMe between erratic hours and figuring out how to become a wife to @rudolfpadlan , and having personal time with work’s demands. 😰 Somehow, with very thoughtful planning I manage to work around with what I have. 😅 Because its NO-vember, here’s to the start of saying: NO to not making time for myself 💃🏼 NO to stress eating and saying yes to mindful eating 🌸 NO to not balancing work and life because lets face it, work is work but you only get to live once - so live HEALTHY ever chance you get 💚 Remember, taking care of yourself should be your TOP priority. As RuPaul’s quote goes, « If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else! « ❤️ How have you been dealing with #adulting ? 👇🏽

Mornings have been less of whole wheat bread and more of chia pudding! 🤩 A good bowl of my morning fruity cup consists of: 🍓 1/4 cup Fresh Fruits (you can go for frozen too) 😋 1/4 cup Granola 🍮 Chia pudding (usually about 4-6 tbsps) ❤️❤️❤️ How to make chia pudding at home: - In a small jar (about 16 oz) mix 1/4 cup chia and 1 cup soy milk (unsweetened) 🥛 - Leave overnight in the refrigerator - Enjoy the next day 💃🏼 This chia pudding recipe makes about 12 tbsps! I usually mix this with smoothies I make at home too. Instead of boba drinks, this is what we put in. 🙋🏽‍♀️ Either chia pudding with soy or water in homemade fresh fruit drinks! 🌸 I still take it easy though - I alternate with chia pudding from time to time even if I’m on a high fiber diet ever since. 😊 Though fiber is good daily we need to balance it out. 🙏🏼 What are your favorite healthy breakfast recipes? 🧚🏽‍♂️ On my face: (because healthy food aids in skin products too) @andalounaturals @dermae @madhippieskinproducts @allgoodbrand 💚 #nomakeup #nofilterneeded

Facial routine update. 🧖🏽‍♀️ The journey to no makeup on a normal day. 🎭 #nofilter #iwokeuplikethisforreal Left photo July 2, Right Photo October 5. 😱 3 months of religious day and night routines have definitely worked plus eating as much nutritional and whole foods and getting the right amount of exercise and lots of water! 🥗🏋🏽‍♀️💧 Morning Routine summary: 🌞 - @andalounaturals Brightening Creamy Cleanser (twice) - @thayersnatural Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner - @madhippieskinproducts Vit C Serum - @dermae Hydrating Eye Cream - @madhippieskinproducts Face Cream - @allgoodbrand sport sunscreen - @allgoodbrand coconut lip balm Evening Routine Summary: 🌝 - @andalounaturals Makeup remover - @andalounaturals Brightening Creamy Cleanser (twice) - @thayersnatural Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner - @madhippieskinproducts Vit A Serum - @dermae Hydrating Eye Cream - @madhippieskinproducts Face Cream - @auracacia Rose Hip Oil Once a week : (on separate days) - @dermae Hydrating Facial Scrub - @dermae Overnight Peel - Homemade Cleansing and Cooling Mask (IGTV) 🌸 I just started with the Overnight Peel from @dermae this week. Prior to that I was using their Vit C Radiant Chemical Peel every Sunday evening before bedtime for 3 months. 🍋 I also sleep for 7-8 hours a day and make sure I have enough rest and no stress as much as possible. Meditation is the key 🥑 Who knew going makeup-less was this much work? But to tell you frankly I LOVE IT and the best part its #crueltyfreeskincare 🍏 How do you keep your face in line with the times?! 👇🏽

To the handsomest man on earth - the love of my life; you are aging like wine. The older you get and the greyer your hair is, the better you are. There’s no pill in the world that will guarantee a hundred percent pain-free marriage. But getting married to you is the most beautiful thing that I have ever done in my life. Happy birthday. Just keep aging with me. Je t’aime pour toujours. ❤️ PS. Lets drink when we’re both feeling better. For now, let’s sleep early 😘

I am a confit that features unforgettable life journeys as my principal ingredient. My sugar confectionery includes healthy adventures, unpublished artworks, kissing the French language and hourly food cravings. Yes, I'm all sugar and spice - coated and glazed with bittersweet and sprightly experiences.
