A year ago I was in NYC shooting for @thirdlove with fellow Latina bombshells @liiraven @glamdapper and @denisemmercedes @geritorres.photo & @davidalexfilms 👑⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It’s mind-blowing looking at all that has happened since then. I was hoping to return to NYC this fall to reconnect with all of those friends and other professional relationships but alas, those plans were scrapped. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I look at this photo and think about the responses or emotions it might cause in others. I want to be open and transparent- at the time I reeaallyy struggled with self-image. I hated my thighs, less toned body, and battled with my on and off struggle of eating disorders/ed mindset. I still do. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Throughout the year and especially through Covid-19 I’ve definitely packed on more than a few pounds and have been trying to grant myself grace with that. We all have such high standards for ourselves and yet fail to see we are defined by SO MUCH MORE than pounds on a scale or our physical appearance. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Eating disorders, particularly bulimia, are something I’ve carried with me since my teenage years. I’ve sought help and healthy mechanisms of coping with feelings and stress but that doesn’t mean the disease just vanishes without a trace. It’s an ongoing battle - one that I mostly keep in the closet shrouded in secrecy, shame and guilt. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It’s OKAY to not be okay. It’s OKAY to regress into bad habits and have a slip up - we all do. We’re human. What MATTERS is how you move forward and finding the support you need. I know my depression is also a big part of my disordered thinking - so I try to keep that in check.... but DANG this year makes it tough. It makes it tough to have the energy to do anything. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So just remember... you’re doing the best you can in this dumpster fire of a year and better days WILL come. Social media puts on a false sense of sunshine and perfection - I’m here to remind you there’s so much more going on behind an image. 😘⁣

It’s Carebear Day! ⁣
⁣
Who else grew up on the Carebears?? #carebearstare 💞💕My grandma made me all kinds of little stuffed carebear-shaped pillows - no idea what happened to them but they were adorable. ⁣
⁣
Carebear Share Your Care Day is meant to inspire selflessness, giving, and care for others. I think no matter how old we are we can use a little reminder to be good to each other, step back from our selfishness and consider the world around us. ⁣
⁣
Working in mental health clinics so far has shown me something I already knew but am always sadly surprised to see — we HIDE SO MUCH TRAUMA. It blows my mind hearing the horrific things people have been through in their lives and yet looking at them you would have no clue! This further proves that you NEVER know someone’s else’s battles... especially hidden behind a smile or outgoing personality. ⁣
⁣
I made this Best Friend Bear “costume” with paint and an oversized hoodie from Amazon and some @puma x @badgalriri sneakers from my closet. If you need some early #diy Halloween inspo.. this was super easy! ⁣
⁣
Be good to each other and show someone you care today. It’s hard right now to show our smiles or even our pain behind our masks so check in with your loved ones, even if they “appear” happy and content. I promise you there’s usually more going on underneath our literal and figurative masks. ⁣
⁣
Did you watch the Carebears? Did you have a favorite? I almost did a sleepy bear!

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere... right? ⁣#iwish
⁣
The weather here has literally been dark & stormy .... matching my favorite adult beverage 🍹⁣
⁣
Charlie introduced me to dark & stormies years and years ago. A little dark rum, a little ginger beer and voila! DELISH and super simple. ⁣
⁣
I’m completely and utterly mentally exhausted. I finished my family nurse practitioner(yay!) last month and then studied my behind off.. and passed my boards this past Friday! Aaahhhhh!!!⁣
⁣
I’m now in the process of getting all of my credentialing finalized with the state... which means more $$$$ to spend. The whole process is freaking expensive. ⁣
⁣
BUT today I started my PMHNP clinicals- which stands for a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner! My goal is to combine that and my family health NP to better serve patients who struggle with mental illness AND need a primary care provider! One stop shop! ⁣
⁣
Anyway... this nonexistent break from one to the other is a bit overwhelming but when I’m completely done year it will all have been more than worth it. AND I’m so taking an enormous vacation to a beach with a little umbrella drink 😆

I feel like this photo doesn’t even need words.

🧚🏼Who believed in the tooth fairy when they were little?🧚🏼⁣
⁣
Who was threatened to take care of their teeth otherwise the tooth fairy wouldn’t visit? 😂⁣
⁣
August 22nd was national tooth fairy day... and I basically lost track of the days / my brain is mush this week y’all 🤦🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
Anyway - my idea of the tooth fairy was always some super shiny magical little fairy who somehow snuck past me and left a surprise under my pillow. That was the ONLY good thing about pulling a loose tooth! Did anyone else’s parents or caregivers tie a string to the tooth and YANK? Or even more traumatic.. tie it to the door and shut it? To this day teeth aren’t my favorite things to assess 🦷 ⁣
⁣
My dreams were ultimately crushed when I discovered my mom putting a dollar under my brother’s pillow early one morning before school. The betrayal was REAL y’all 🤭😵⁣

2020 CALLING ☎️ 📞 📱⁣
⁣
So here's the actual tea: 2020 is probably NOTHING like any of us ever expected, am I right or am I right?! #TAZOPartner ⁣
⁣
All of 2020's events have done a number on my nerves and have me missing actual face time with my gal pals, catching up on what's going on in their lives and spilling the latest tea ☕️ ⁣
⁣
There are so many feelings going around with how we should best spend our "down" time: self care, how to cope, home DIY projects, reading lists..etc etc.⁣
⁣
But you know what? If you've done none of those things and you're still just trying to figure out life a day at a time, that's completely okay.⁣
⁣
Even though each day tends to bring a new challenge, one thing has remained consistent for me and that's having tea with whatever activity I'm doing - reading, writing, studying, watching a movie - etc., ⁣
⁣
It's a HOT summer here in Texas and as much as I enjoy tea... hot beverages just aren't ideal in this season. Thankfully, @tazo iced teas are available in a variety of local retailers - aka chilled bliss! ⁣
⁣
Whether you need to relax with some iced Zen green tea, tackle your to do list with iced Awake black tea or just enjoy your day with iced Passion herbal tea, they've all got you covered and ready for the day ahead. ⁣
⁣
Enjoy! ❤️💋
