Had a little bit of paradise. 🏝⠀ @daphe.nolita during this “NYC shut-in life”⠀ ⠀ My usual pristine skin that I have always been so proud of since my teens has gone through the ringer. 🥊⠀ A Vitamin D3 Deficiency ⠀ “The Hunger Games” of birth controls 🏹💊🙇‍♀️⠀ and thanks to winter- ⠀ my heater becoming my closest friend. 🌨🥶🏠🥺⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Luckily 🍀 I was able to go to @daphne.nolita ⠀ Where I had their Signature European facial with Oxygen. My esthetician @jade_haifa ⠀ worked on exfoliating the skin, removing the dead skin cells, and purifying the pores. ☺️⠀ ⠀ Focusing on hydrating, nourishing and lifting ⠀ the skin, finishing with the oxygen to oxygenate the cells, brightening the skin and leaving me with an overall glow.🤩⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Each step was customized to target my skin issues. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ■ Every Safety precaution was taken ⠀ • Temperature checks upon arrival 🌡⠀ • Masks worn by staff😷⠀ • Social distancing 🧍‍♀️ 🧍‍♀️⠀ • Contactless checkout 🙋‍♀️ 🧾🧍‍♀️⠀ ⠀ I left feeling safe, rejuvenated, ⠀ hydrated, and ready to face the day.🤗⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #Skincare #daphnenolita #daphnestudio #biologiquerecherche #skincareessentia #environskincare #skincaretips #selfcare #glowingskin #antiaging #beautytips #model #facials #esthetician #vegan #selflove #skincareregimen ⠀

Walking to the tv to watch the #inauguration like...

Everyone has their own struggles and hardships. Their own stories 📖 with dragons to slay🐉🗡🛡⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Genies in a lamp to find 🧞‍♂️👀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Stars to wish upon 💫🔭🙏🏻⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ And demons to face 👹👾👺👿👹⠀ ⠀⠀ We all have our own “once upon a time” 👑📝⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ But, sometimes we get so wrapped up being the main character in our own lives 🎭we forget that we are all just secondary characters in the grand Scheme of things.⏳ 🌎⠀⠀ ⠀ This past year has been a series of unfortunate events, oppressions, struggles, and perils. 💔⠀ ⠀ We as a country are about to embark on a new journey. I can only ask, hope, and pray that we can all set aside our past differences, opinions, and frustrations. ⠀ ⠀ To come together and be a society more attuned to one another’s needs, desires, dreams, and passions. ♥️👬👭👫⠀ ⠀ That we acclimate to finish out 2021 with a consensus of a strong, impenetrable, and unified world. 🌍⠀ ⠀ That we embrace each other and strive to create a better place not just for one, but for All⠀ 🤝✌️⠀

Me waking up every year on #Christmas no matter how unfortunate 2020 was... ⠀ ⠀ Cant’t stop My ❤️ for the Holidays!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I know this #holiday season has been 💔 for all of us unable to spend time with our ❤️ ones for #hanukah #christmas and any other special events this year.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I know I for one miss my family, my extended family, and The Katz family this season. 🕊 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ If anything I have taken away from all these months in #isolation Is how precious it is to have a healthy and safe family.

Christmas is almost here 🤩⠀ ⠀ Can you believe it? Its been 10 months since our lives got flipped upside down with #covid_19 🦠😖💉⠀ ⠀ With indoor dinning now shut down in #nyc and outdoor due to well.. winter 🥶⠀ ⠀ Many local restaurants and businesses are having an impossible task to just make it through the end of this year with their business on the brink of closure.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ‘Tis the season to open your heart. ⠀ Buy local goods and gifts for your ❤️ ones this year, and order take out or delivery from your local favorites. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ So enjoy your favorites at your favorite place 🏠 snuggled up with your ❤️ ones, or your favorite sandwich like the Jidori Chicken Sandwich from @hall.nyc 🤤 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ • BTW @hall.nyc is open now for takeout and delivery 🚚 📦 😃 Chef Odo definitely knows his way around a #wagyuburger ⠀ And @hall.nyc is donating part of the proceeds from takeout and delivery to the @beardfoundation covid_19 Relief Fund https://www.jamesbeard.org/relief-fund ⠀ ⠀

#FBF @beautiisoles event @ the newly remodeled @blueandcream manhattan store. ⠀⠀ Wearing the #roxyboot ⠀⠀ I had the pleasure of meeting @robynshreiber the founder of @beautiisoles @ the Newly remodeled @blueandcream Manhattan location and she’s just as lovely, smart, and stylish as her brand @beautiisoles ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ @beauttisoles uses cutting edge technology allowing the shoes to absorb shock, wick sweat, and they’re antibacterial. ⠀ ⠀ Perfect for a long workday, a stomp around NYC streets, or a chic work event. ⠀⠀

I ❤️ Korean BBQ and every year for my birthday it’s my meal of choice. This year with the lockdown and outdoor dinning not being ideal I thought all hope was lost😔 ⠀ ⠀ Thank you @yoon_nyc_1964 for the amazing meal and experience. This place is a true gem nestled in the heart of midtown. ⠀ ⠀ I ❤️ Korean BBQ and every year for my birthday it’s my meal of choice.

It was authentic, spacious, delicious, and fit all of our covid19 concerns. ⠀ ⠀ I recommend the Sirloin Bulgiogi , Spicy Fried Chicken, and finish it off with a From Yoon With Love. 🥰🍾❤️

My #mebreak was spent journaling, meditating, daily affirmations, mantras, & doing whatever amount of yoga. I could while having a broken 😳🤕⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Visualization meditation which is a technique focused on enhancing feelings of relaxation, peace, & calmness by visualizing positive scenes or images. With this practice It’s important to Imagine the scene vividly & Use all 5 senses to add as much detail as possible⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5 min Visualization Meditation Practice 🧘‍♂️🧘⠀ ⠀ • Sit/lay comfortably⠀ make sure to sit with your spine erect & straight with palms always face up.⠀⠀⠀⠀ That way you are ready to receive all the good energy⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Gently close your eyes⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ • Take a deep breath ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Filling up your belly & chest with air⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Softly exhale all the air out of your lungs⠀⠀⠀ Do this for a few breaths. Allow yourself to be in the space you are & just let go⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Focus on your breathing⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ •Envision a bright golden light let the lights warm glow completely surround you. Let it fill you with a sense of comfort & warmth⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •In that light you find yourself in a meadow. With green grass & flowers that are in bloom⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Take this time to just be here. Hear whatever you invasion in this place⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Let yourself start to walk⠀⠀⠀ You come upon a temple. In this temple you find this same bright & warm light. It surrounds you, It comforts you, It gives you strength, & fills you with joy ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Here is a place you are open to be whatever version of self you want to be. No expectations, No restrictions this time & place is just for you ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Let that light shine through you & come out through your chest⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •The light spreads to surround your shoulders. Then past your hips making its way down, Past your knees, Down past your elbow, Up past your neck, & above your ears⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Let that light start to shine through the crown of your head. Bursting out your fingers & toes⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ •When you feel calm & at peace⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ •Softly flutter your eyes open⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ •Bring your palms to your heart. ⠀ Notice how you feel in this new space you have created. Then allow yourself to start your day ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

💥🎉THANK YOU all for the BIRTHDAY 🎉❤️ ⠀ ⠀ The only thing I can ask for this birthday is for everyone to give a 🎁 to themselves.⠀ ⠀ A #MEBREAK ⠀ ⠀ It doesn’t have to be a whole month or a week.⠀ ⠀ Give yourself just 1 day with NO socials.⠀ ⠀ Just pick one day that is just for you.⠀ ⠀ • Spend time with friend’s offline In a safe environment. I know #Covid19 has our people to people connections in complete disorder, but We all need the face-to-face company of others to be happy and healthy. 😀💪⠀ At its best, social media is a great tool for facilitating real-life connections. But if you allow virtual connections to replace real-life friendships in your life that’s not healthy. ⠀ ⠀ • Turn your phone off. Not only do phones waste a lot of our time, but they can also detract from our physical health & mental health.⠀ *Turning your phone off can also be good for your phone. Constantly⠀ Having your phone on, & never letting it turn off; can damage the battery life.⠀ ⠀ • Exercise ⠀ Improves mental health by reducing anxiety depression, & negative moods & by improving self-esteem & cognitive function. Exercise has also been found to alleviate symptoms such as low self-esteem & social withdrawal ⠀ • Trying Something New⠀ Learning causes the brain to build connections between neurons, replacing some of those we lose over time. Not having new experiences & learning new things will slow your brain down & make it less responsive. Adult learning has been shown to slow the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s & dementia, as well as just preventing general slowing of your mental faculties ⠀ • READ A BOOK⠀ Books are an invaluable but underutilized resource that can increase empathy, enhance recovery, & inspire those with mental health difficulties.⠀ Regular reading not only improves mental health, but also means that you could enjoy a longer life than those who don't read. Yale University School of Public Health found in 2016 that those who read books had a 20% reduction risk of death over 12 years, compared to non-book readers.⠀ ⠀ So my Birthday wish for all of my friends, loved ones, & followers is to sit back turn off your phone & take a much needed #mebreak 💋

It’s the END of my Social Media Month cleanse. One of the biggest things I have taken away from this whole experience is GRATITUDE 🙏 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ 3.6 billion people are now on social media that’s 51% of the global population. ⠀⠀ With more than 376 million new users since⠀ 2019, that translates to almost 12 new users every second. The combined time that the world spends using social media now adds up to more than 1 million years every day.⠀🤯⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Now more than ever we rely on social media platforms to find & connect with other’s. While each platform has its benefits, it’s important to remember that social media can’t be a replacement for real-world human connection.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Spending too much time engaging with social media can actually make you feel more lonely & isolated— and exacerbate mental health problems such as anxiety & depression.😨⠀⠀ Many of us access social media purely out of habit or to mindlessly kill moments of downtime. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ By focusing on your motivation for logging on, you cannot only reduce the time you spend on social media; but also improve your experience & avoid many of the negative aspects.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ When you go to access social media, 🤚pause for a moment & clarify your motivation for doing so.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Are you using social media as a substitute for real life? ⠀🤔⠀ ⠀⠀ Are you an active or a passive user on social media? Passively scrolling through posts doesn’t provide any meaningful sense of connection. Increasing feelings of isolation. Being an active participant, will offer you more engagement with others.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Does your social media platform leave you feeling inadequate or disappointed about your life? ⠀ ⠀⠀ Here are some tips if you or anyone you know is feeling resentment, animosity, & discontent sometimes generated by social media⠀ •Take time for reflection⠀ •keep a gratitude journal⠀ •Volunteer⠀ •Practice mindfulness. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ❤️🎉🎁My early birthday present to myself this year was some “Me Time” a Month off of social media while I focused on learning & some inner reflection❤️🎁🎉⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ My next few posts will about what I did during my month off & how I came up with the idea of a #mebreak

ME dancing around like a fool while waiting to go back to work, and a photo with my follow work Colleague at the end of the day. 😂 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Anyone miss set life yet? Can you tell we had fun? 😆⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I feel so blessed and fortunate to have a job where I can work with great clients who are like minded, creative, passionate about their work, and who let me joke around between takes like a weirdo 🤩 ⠀ ⠀ Thank you all for allowing me to fulfill my dreams for all these years. I had a really tuff time for years with my social anxiety. I still struggle with it to this day sometimes, but I’ll talk about that in another post in the future. Today I just want to say thank you to all my wonderful clients who have made me feel at home on set and comfortable to be my silly self.
