Aesthetic to Abundant Weekly

Hi, friend!

Are you feeling the pull of fall? I am when it comes to the upcoming shift into school schedule but it’s still in the 90s+ here in Central Texas. HA! It’s cats and dogs at our wild house!

Skin update-so 2 months after I had the TCA treatment for the very old acne scar on my nose, I had a micro needling appointment. At first it was like a miracle because the swelling made everything look smooth and perfect! I’ll share the pics in a separate post when it’s all done. I show on stories too.

PS I’ll be back to the gram regularly next week!

After a few days, the swelling went down and it looked worse! NO! Then after around 10 days things got better again. Phew! I’m seeing improvement! I really foresee a great result and it’s exciting although taking a lot longer than expected-natural collagen production takes time.

My BIGGEST self care lately has been learning how to rest and have faith that going at a normal human pace sometimes (baby steps) in life will just as ok as when I’m going full speed ahead. Are you like that?

I was writing down the amazing things that happened during the time I gave myself to slow down recently and it made me realize how good I have it. I didn’t realize the negative self talk I had for myself when it came to my work!

I’ve been playing with a new identity lately. We’re constantly evolving and the fun part is we can be whoever we want to be at any moment. What does your current wardrobe/uniform say about who you are on the inside?

There have been many years where I didn’t really want to answer that question but lately I’ve been into it.

Did you catch the cafe curtain saga? They arrived and the color was not giving the sunny vibe I felt from the online photos so they are going back. A reminder that clarity comes from action!

Rest Is The Work

I just gave myself a little pep talk, “Ok for the next few weeks you’re going on vacation and when you get back, you’ll pick right up where you left off…” or so I thought, says “overachievers-anonymous-president.”

Pretty Little Things I'm Excited About Right Now

My first summer in Austin put a singular thought in my head, “I have to find a way to essentially be nude.” The humid heat here has been referred to by a funny meteorologist as “hell’s front porch.”

Have a great week! If you’re not already following along on Instagram and YouTube. Come join the fun!

Love,
