Today I put the finishing touches on my latest episode of The REAL Women of 20(20) Podcast. And to be honest...I’m just blown away. Sure, I was LITERALLY the one interviewing @youmustlovelife for this episode, but listening to the tips she gave (long before quarantine life was even on the horizon) was exactly what I needed to stay inspired NOW. Obviously I’m not going to tell you EVERYTHING (because I’d love for you to take a listen for yourself on Monday). But if this listen reminded me of anything, it’s that it’s important to take time to process what’s going on NOW so we can move forward inspired, motivated, and the best version of ourselves💛
Ps. Tune into IG Live on Sunday at 1pm to have a fun chat and create a killer makeup look with me and my girl @youmustlovelife 💫
It’s no secret we all feel lonely lately. But GIRL— YOU’RE NOT ALONE💛
I believe when we’re surrounded by an empowered community, we’re even more likely to achieve our wildest dreams...and THAT is why I created Ditch the Clique✨If you’re new to my little corner of the internet, Ditch the Clique is an event series I launched last year to bring together REAL women to inspire one another and create community connection. And WOW...lately I’ve been thinking how each of us REALLY needs a confidence boost to be the best and most inspiring version of ourselves! SO on Saturday April 18th at 1pm I’m hosting my first ever FREE Ditch the Clique ONLINE event! Though we won’t have the opportunity to connect in person, I’m excited to have women from ALL OVER join together virtually for an afternoon of guided conversation and community connection! Regardless of age, race, size, or career I’m confident this is EXACTLY what YOU (and I) need to move out of uncertainty and into the life we dream💫
And GIRL— this will fill quickly so be sure to RSVP at the link in my bio to reserve your spot! I can’t wait to see you there👯♀️ 📷 Photo flashback with the one and only @quistpix_photography ✨
Hey, it’s me👋🏻 Just sharing my makeup free face to remind you to put yourself first TODAY and ALWAYS! Cause GIRL...if you don’t love being with the REAL you right now, who ever will? And honestly, I can’t think of a better time to start💫
GIRL I don’t know about you but exclusively seeing my #quarantinecrew (aka my husband🤣) has me appreciating ALL the little things in life THAT👏🏻MUCH👏🏻MORE👏🏻 I’ll be honest— the physical distance between my friends and family feels further than ever, and who knows when I’ll have dinner at my favorite local dive again. BUT if this experience has taught me anything, it’s to NEVER take simple pleasures for granted. I mean sure... maybe it’s annoying that you’re on your 23rd Zoom meeting or virtual happy hour of quarantine, but how blessed are we to have THAT connection! And yes...sometimes social media SUCKS, but ultimately how cool is it to have connection at our finger tips!! And don’t get me started on the praise we ALL owe the delivery guy...
My point? I/you/WE have the power to decide how we’re going to remember this time. And I don’t know about you, but I’m going to remember it as a positive and creative growth period that taught me to never take anyone or anything for granted again✨ •
If YOU need encouragement to get started on the the right foot this week, checkout Episode 2 of The Real Women of 20(20) Podcast featuring my friend Nurse Bri (@dontworry_brihappy ) on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or at the link in my bio! AND head over to my blog for tips on staying motivated while working from home (featuring looks from the latest @stylenmotionshop collection!) ✨ •
And all jokes aside, there’s no one else I’d rather be quarantined with than @brettholygrail 💛
H O N E S T L Y—I have about a dozen super stomach flattering photos from this mini @figleavesofficial shoot...and yes, I still chose this one to share with you. Why? Well if I’m honest with myself this is the REAL me (you know, rather than the stretched out, flexed version of me you’re used to seeing.) I often wonder, whats the point of always showing the “best” version of me when this version of me is pretty damn great too? GIRL— let me remind you (and me) that there is nothing wrong with you just the way you are! In fact, every roll, muscle, dimple, and stretch mark is uniquely YOU and that’s something to celebrate! But you know what would REALLY be worth celebrating? If we all came out of this #covid19quarantine a more honest, happy, and confident version of ourselves✨
I absolutely LOVE this cute but cozy @figleavesofficial Millie Lace Bralette and Boyshort set for working from home! It gives that “yes I’m wearing a bra” confidence for work from home web meetings, without the uncomfortable “I can’t wait to take this bra off” thoughts! For size reference, I’m wearing both the top and bottom in a UK size Large💫

Q U E S T I O N—
What’s more challenging than being quarantined with your family? In my opinion...NOT being quarantined with your family (or with friends, or anyone you love for that matter!) Before you scroll on, hear me out—
There’s no denying the ones we love are often the ones who drive us CRAZY. And trust me, I firmly believe every relationship needs set boundaries to be mutually beneficial. But honestly, I can’t think of a better time than NOW for us to cherish the relationships that mean the most (you know, the ones we often take for granted.) So today, I want to encourage you (and me) to lean into, appreciate, and LOVE what IS certain in this time of uncertainty. Remember— even when the world seems to stop, love doesn’t💛
Ps. I’m obviously EXTRA missing my #instagramless brother, my family and friends back in beautiful Pennsylvania, and spending time with my lovely NYC community! SO I’m sending extra love your way today💛 But of course, I can’t forget to thank this beautiful online community for getting this extrovert through, too💫
