When I think about Sundays I think about rejuvenation and pleasure ; enjoying the day while doing a weekly reset.

On Sundays I like to sleep in and get that well deserved beauty sleep, the key to any successful reset is being well rested and grounded.

♡ (10:00am) Wake up, take my time waking up & lay in bed for a few mins, stretch and take some deep breaths, positive affirmations

"Today I am grateful for..."

"I deserve to treat my body with love and care today."

"I am committed to improving myself and achieving my goals daily."

♡ Open the blinds, straighten up room, and make bed. Starting the day with a bright and neat room is a simple and refreshing way to start the day off on the right foot, a small achievement as soon as you step out of bed will inspire you to keep going.

♡ Drink water & take my meds and supplements. Since it had been hours since I had any water hydrating is super important, and since I'm already taking my medicine might as well finish the glass off.

♡ Journal and plan day. Having a game plan and a clear mind before doing any real tasks sets the foundation for a productive day and promotes mindfulness. I like to have rose quartz, clear quartz, and amethyst on my desk while I journal to set peaceful intentions and promote self love. I have a five minute journal so I begin by thinking of 3 things I'm grateful for, one affirmation, and 3 things I can do for the day that will make it great. Typically on Sundays taking my time, being attentive, and being proactive are my goals for making the day great. I'll then make a to-do list for the day.

♡ Skin care and comfy clothes. Washing my face, moisturizing and putting on sunscreen is the perfect simple skin care for running errands, I usually wear some sweat pants and a t-shirt to finish the fit.

♡ Breakfast! I always like to have lots of fruit and a sweet treat on Sundays as part of my breakfast as a treat for getting through the prior week.

♡ Reset cleaning session. I like to do a full vacuum of my space, mop, wipe everything down, run the dish washer, and do my laundry. Other cleaning tasks vary based on the week but I like to make sure I am doing those tasks weekly. I also like to make sure to wash towels on Sunday since sometimes I'll do laundry on Wednesday and don't do towels then.

♡ Ultimate shower vibe time. The everything shower of my dreams after being all sweaty from cleaning. ( I have a post about this already on my page!)

♡ Light a candle and set the vibes with some mood lighting.

♡ Do my full skin care routine, face mask ect...

♡ A nice filling dinner & tv show. I love a Sunday night pasta dish with a Diet Coke while watching Pretty Little Liars.

♡ Journal. My five minute journal has a section to do in the evening, it asks to write down 3 highlights of the day and what lesson you learned for the day. It's a nice way to look back fondly on the day.

♡ Read. I like to read before bed since it helps me to fall asleep! I've been reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and Conversations on Love by Natasha Lunn!

♡ (10:30pm) Night time meds & slumber!

hey y'all! I wanted to share one of my many playlists that I listen to you to relax my mind while on the road :) listening is fundamental and this is one of my favorites!

fyi when listening to jazz, I usually like listening to the record as opposed to a playlist :)))

Drink water. Keep your nails + toes done. Go shopping, spoil yourself. Chase your goals. Take trips. Have more talks with God. Stay away from negative energy. Surround yourself w/ ppl that have your best interest at heart. Invest your money. Save up to get a bigger bag. Be selfish, but most importantly.. ENJOY YOURSELF MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY

Another comic about managing anxiety for #SelfCareSunday. For me, anxiety is less about racing thoughts and more about upset stomach, tight chest, sweat, headache, etc. I've found that when I don't get sucked into a worry spiral stressing about the physical symptoms of anxiety, they tend to go away a lot faster. The less I worry, the less I have to worry about, I guess. Easier said than done, of course, but that's why I practice a lot!

Tips For First Time Pilates Princesses

If you ever plan to take a Pilates class here are some things you should know…

1. Bring a pair of grip socks 🧦 ( I didn’t and ended up paying $17 for a pair on hand. It is what it is)

2. Hydrate. Hydrate.Hydrate. Do not come empty handed without a water bottle because as cute as this looks it is a workout that will have you needing to catch your breathe.

3. Your head will be against the reformer 80% of the time so wearing a bun can be uncomfortable (I kept having to turn my head to the side so that my bun wouldn’t continue to press against my head)

4. If your studio offers beginner classes please suggest taking that before diving into more skilled classes.

5. Stretch beforehand. The next day my glutes are super sore and while I’m glad for that muscle to be woken up , stretching beforehand can save you some pain.

6. The aesthetics give soft girl era but the workout can be intense for your first time so come prepared to move your body.

7.Get out of your head and enjoy yourself! Who cares if your form isn’t perfect like the instructor that has been doing this for X+ years. If you continue to do it you will continue to get better 🫶🏽
