How about today being fitness Friday and also fantastically flawed Friday as well. Why not?

I was inspired by @legendofgrayskull today to post a pic that normally wouldn’t make my feed.

If you have followed me for awhile you know I’m not afraid to show you my true self with no makeup on, but this is something else altogether. At least with those makeup free shots I stand by a window to get some good lighting.

These, on the other hand, are sweaty selfies taken in the basement to send to an accountability partner. Did I mention I am sweaty? Also red, and blotchy. And damn, the basement is about as far from natural light as I’m going to get around here.

While not flattering, I’m putting it out there anyway. I personally love seeing everyone’s natural filter and ring light free beauty gracing my feed.

And since you’ve seen me sweating I’ll just share that I’ve been working hard on staying consistent with working out and eating clean.

Daily movement is so important.

I have some limitations due to permanent joint damage from my rheumatoid arthritis but I don’t let that keep me down (unless I am in a flare, of course). I posted more about my routine in my stories today if you’re curious. Nothing fancy- just making sure I sweat everyday. 🤣 Don’t worry- I won’t make sweaty selfies a regular thing.

Wellness 101 In this fast-paced world, with endle

Wellness 101

In this fast-paced world, with endless obligations, it can feel unrealistic to imagine adding one more item to an already all-consuming to-do list, and even selfish to consider taking time for ourselves when we are so accustomed to making sure the needs of others are met first- but it’s necessary.

How?

Start small.

Start with setting the alarm 30 minutes earlier to start the day on your own terms.

This is what I do. It started with coffee on the couch (sometimes it still is) but more often it is a 25-30 minute workout of some kind.

Look for gaps of time.

I am guilty of this as well- but if you look at your day I bet you’d be surprised at how many minutes you can reclaim here and there. For instance, instead of falling into the social media scrolling trap- step away and do something else. A five minute guided meditation on the @calm app or a quick walk around your workplace or the block can do wonders.

Reframe selfish. You are worthy of some me-time. Prioritize your health.

How do you fill your cup?

This is a fun one!

I was tagged by @blueyesandgray to participate in the #silversisterswithrainbowhair challenge.

We are brightening up everyone’s feeds.

To play along, find a color filter (I used Cabelo Colorido), snap your pics, put them into a collage, and use the hashtag.

I challenge @naturally_graysful @carrie__jessica @wavygrays and @curls.silvers_n_bengals to join in.

I love a spontaneous makeup Monday and since it’s our anniversary I felt like celebrating with bold colors (even though we aren’t going anywhere). LOL.

I guess I was feeling productive because I just made two reels. 😂 The one I shared to my feed today features the three lipsticks you see me wearing here. The second is a makeup vid of me applying my usuals plus the highlighter and bronzer shown in the next pic.

I featured these specific items because I wanted to remind everyone that safe, non toxic products can be both high-performing and beautiful and that today is the last day of the winter sale (save up to 65% off)!

These beauties as well as several of our award winning lip sheers and glosses were still available last time I checked.

It’s a great time to make a non toxic swap.

Check my bio for links and check my reels for more non-toxic beauty love. 💄💋

18 years! Where does the time go? I love looking

18 years! Where does the time go?

I love looking through our wedding album each year and reminiscing about that crazy day. 38 inches of snow fell the night before our wedding over a previous three foot snowfall. It caused some issues but it was magically beautiful.

If you haven’t visited Cooperstown, NY you definitely should. Be sure to stop by the Otesaga Hotel and have a cocktail for us while you’re there.

Hey, 2021- I see you.

I am not going crazy with resolutions or anything but I do have some goals I’m pretty jazzed about and I can’t wait to share more with you soon.

My focus word for 2021 is connection. I look forward to connecting passion with purpose, dreams with reality, connecting more with this supportive community, and those I’ve missed so much in 2020.

What’s your focus for 2021?
