TOP 🔟 LESSONS my mom has taught me: 1️⃣ Be

TOP 🔟 LESSONS my mom has taught me:

1️⃣ Be kind to everyone, no matter who they are.
2️⃣ Do not seek revenge on your enemies. Seek happiness and success. THIS is their poison.
3️⃣ Save your money and only buy what you REALLY need/want.
4️⃣ Take care of your skin before you need anti-aging products.
5️⃣ Cook and eat at home! It’s cheaper and healthier!
6️⃣ Even when you don’t have much, be creative. You can make something out of “nothing”.
7️⃣ Don’t let boys distract you from your goals.
8️⃣ When they rest, you work. Get ahead.
9️⃣ Say thank you.
🔟 When you go to the buffet, DO NOT EAT THE RICE. FIND THE CRAB LEGS!!! 🦀

Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful mommy! I LOVE YOU!

She’s taught me sooooooo much and continues to show me how to be a stronger and smarter woman every day. I’m grateful for that immigrant hustle because it is really core to the values that drive me EVERY SINGLE DAY. I hope I can pass that on to my future children too. ❤️

“Go big” they said.
“How big” I said.

😅

I was browsing Etsy and came across the biggest hat I’ve ever seen in my life and decided…I ABSOLUTELY 100% NEED THIS.

If you know me, you know I have a peculiar fascination with the tiny versions of medium things AND the really really really REALLY big versions of them too!

So I bought the hat ☺️

…and today, I totally forced @samlivits to shoot me and my new hat.

CUZ. WHY. NOT.

Swipe to the end to see the best shot from the shoot! 😉

Just returned from @jackelynho’s Bachelorette we

Just returned from @jackelynho’s Bachelorette weekend in Sedona! I can’t believe she’s getting married in 33 days 😭 (I’ve yet to write my Maid of Honor speech and I really don’t think there’s any possible way to match the one she gave at my wedding - honestly if MOH speeches could win Oscars, she’d steal all the categories in a landslide. It was a PERFORMANCE I tell you!!!)

It was so special to leave the city for a few days and spend some quality sister time exploring a new land and trying new experiences. We had so many laugh-so-hard-pee-in-your-pants moments that I’ll NEVER forget. It makes me so grateful to have a sister (thank you mom and dad) and I hope one day, if and when I start a family, that my kids will be as close as we are. There’s nothing that can replace a sister relationship. 👯‍♀️

Even though we both couldn’t feel the energy of the vortexes 😕, we did feel our love and gratefulness for one another deepen. Sedona gave us forever memories and I cannot wait to make more at @jackelynho ‘s wedding in one month! Ahhh!!!! 😭😭😭 My little sister is getting married!!!

Note: I honestly wanted to know so much about these vortexes. I interviewed the residents, read articles and blog posts, and the most info I could find about vortexes was on visitsedona.com 🧐 No one was giving me a straight answer (in fact they seemed confused themselves), I couldn’t find history (no mention of indigenous tribes), and there was no identifiable unit of measure for vortex energy besides “you should feel a warmness in your heart’s center.” I went down a rabbit hole and read that MAYBE the idea of the vortex was inspired by the 1987 Harmonic Convergence where a man named Jose Arguelles claimed that if 144,000 people came together at high energy spots like Sedona to meditate for world peace all at once that humans could stop the world from spinning out into space. This actually happened on August 16-17, 1987. My conclusion? Sedona is a beautiful place and if it inspires feelings that bring warmness to your heart’s center, then good. Some may call it a vortex. Some may call it something else. But at the end of the day, if it’s doing something good for you, keep doing it!

Here’s something I wish someone told me earlier

Here’s something I wish someone told me earlier on in my fitness journey...

Everyone thinks a transformation is the result of:

1️⃣ Diet
2️⃣ Exercise

But that’s not the whole story.

There are 2 more pillars of health that build the COMPLETE foundation 🏠 of wellness. Without these, the first two are negated.

3️⃣ Sleep

People talk about rest days, but no one talks about how important rest EVERY day is! Not just for recovery but for actually keeping your body and your organs functioning! I used to let work and workouts cut into my sleep time (like starting my workout at 12am etc) and you know what? I saw ZERO results while eating super clean because my body was too stressed out. My digestion was out of whack. I was bloated. My skin was flaring up. My body was screaming for rest by acting up against me.

4️⃣ Joy

No. For real. What’s the point of life if you have to keep doing things you hate? How do you make a lasting lifestyle out of things that suck the happiness out of you? You can’t. So that is why you need to learn how to find the joy in your journey. Joy comes in different forms for different people. But you must seek this.

If you can align all 4 of these things, your transformation will feel more effortless. It’ll still be tough of course - change is never easy - but you’ll find your body, your mind, and your emotions all working TOGETHER instead of against each other.

We’re 1 week out from the eve of the #hotgirlsummersculpt and I seriously cannot wait for all of us to embark on this 14 day journey together!

What are you most nervous about?
