Phenomenal Woman

Supplements that can help strengthen my joints post knee surgery while helping with sleep have been among wellness and lifestyle changes. * Sticking with liquid products, the cream bronzer, and cream shadows were favorites for adding dimension to the face. The Honest Beauty mascara is so easy to use and the best affordable clean mascara on the market. These large Amazon Hoops and H&M Turtleneck Sweater pair together as a great look to pull together for last-minute Zoom meetings.

Here are three gems I learned for myself last year that will help me as I grow into the more restful, bold, and resilient version of myself After discovering a few medical issues I have prioritized rest, even more, the result has meant the world to my overall health. Continuing to trust God, trust those who love me, and trust myself has been a major part of growing into a more resilient and powerful version of myself.

My go-to breakfast whether I’m headed into work or working from home is a protein-packed smoothie. Here are three of my favorite easy high protein and low-cost smoothie recipes as well as variations to add an extra boost to your smoothie. Now for the recipes… • 1 1/2 cup coconut milk (can use any milk desired) • 1 1/2 cup of vanilla soy milk (can use other milk) • 1 cup frozen berry blend (tip: add more or less of one fruit to adjust flavor) • 1 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk (can use any milk desired) Add the ingredients above to your blender or smoothie maker. Chia seeds, flax seeds, and coconut shavings are great add-ins or toppings to a smoothie or smoothie bowl.

Recently I reviewed Calluna Labs CBD Restorative Gold Elixir and it has quickly become one of my favorite facial oils to use especially when my skin needs that extra boost of restoration. Both the Ultra-Clarifying and Ultra Calming CBD Face Oils can be mixed with the original Restorative Gold Elixir or used on their own. Because I have multiple facial oils I have found that it is important that I am able to mix the different oils that I have in order to achieve the effect that I need for my skin that day or week. For lighter skincare days I love the clarifying oil at the night time because I feel like it allows for my skin to really draw out impurities so that when I wash my face in the morning my pores feel even better.

How do you clear your mind and heart of the commotion and chaos that might sometimes silence the whispers of hope and peace God is placing there for you? Another practice that brings me peace is listening to a repeated meditative noise like rain or ocean waves. THat repetition helps hush away the commotion in my mind and slowly closes the opened tabs that distract me from God. Ultimately it’s usually never in my busyness that I find God but in the moments of calm I carve out whether alone or even in open and honest conversation with others that the Holy Spirit works wonders in my soul.

I tried a lot of skincare and makeup as old staples ran out so that allowed me to try new products and rediscover old favorites. The Beautycounter Countertime Eye Cream is a thick eye cream that lasts all day and keeps my eyes hydrated. In terms of accessories, these Black Clay Earrings from Blessing Baubles Co and my Gold Africa Pendant necklace from Beauty Melanin have been nice additions to my rotation of jewelry. Lastly, for a book favorite I recommend, Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall talks about intersectionality in a way that draws from personal observations and experiences, and research.

Roxy talks more than Remy, but Remy is the mean one and also the one who picks up on and uses bad words. I know at the start of this blog it was more mom and family centered, but I decided it is time to re-purpose this thing more into a personal/lifestyle blog. You will continue to find realness as usual and basically continue to follow me on my path to mental wellness and more! In case you are new here, this is my diagnosis: MDD-Major Depressive Disorder, PMDD-Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, OCD-Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety (both general and social).
