💕It’s ok to take breaks.⠀
⠀
💕Louder for the people in the back, am I right? Back in February, I felt incredibly overwhelmed and exhausted. I decided I needed ONE NIGHT ALONE. And for the first time ever, I booked myself a hotel room. Not for a trip, not for a vacation. Just to take a break. And now? I’m telling you this is something I’ll be doing regularly. Whatever breaks look like for YOU, I’m here to tell you to TAKE them. Schedule them in like you schedule doctor appointments, family reunions and household tasks.⠀
⠀
💕I could easily have driven up to LA from San Diego for yesterday’s event and then driven home. But instead? I decided to TAKE A BREAK in our old hometown. I slept in today, got the BEST breakfast here at the Glenmark hotel, and watched TV in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY. I’m headed back to reality tomorrow, feeling refreshed.⠀
⠀
💕Highly recommend @theglenmark for staycations or visits, this newer hotel here in Glendale is stunning! <hosted>⠀

✨ 10 years (and a couple days if we’re being precise) ago, we went to Mexico for our honeymoon.✨⠀
⠀
✨I remember sitting by the pool feeling SO uncomfortable in a bathing suit (and let me tell you, I was definitely in a smaller body than I am now). But this recent Mexico trip? Probably the most comfortable I’ve ever felt. And the most relaxed. And the most at home in my own body. She’s carried my soul well. ⠀
⠀
✨It’s never too late to fall in love with yourself and the body that carries YOUR soul.

💕Double tap if you still feel uncomfortable in

💕Double tap if you still feel uncomfortable in a bathing suit.💕⠀
⠀
👙<Partner> See friends? You’re not alone. Let’s talk about it. I get it. It feels vulnerable. You’re worried about what everyone else thinks. I felt the same way for oh so long. But I’m here to tell you…….just start. One day and one moment at a time. Find a suit you love, and start with one pool or beach day. It WILL make a difference.⠀
⠀
👙This suit? One of the Embrace Your Curves suits I can’t stop raving about. They’re beautifully made, fit like a dream and come in a TON of great prints and colors. ⠀
⠀
👙This all new collection is available exclusively at Walmart.⠀
⠀
💕Now tell me, how ARE you feeling about wearing a suit this summer?⠀

✨ Bibbidi Bobbidi Birthday! ✨⠀
⠀
🎂There’s no better place to celebrate the start of 42. ⠀
⠀
🎂For years, staying here was a beyond reach dream for us. The “fancy hotel” at Disneyland.⠀
⠀
🎂But today? I’m reminding myself that after 40 I:⠀
🍰moved to a new city⠀
🍰started a new career (or at least for now)⠀
🍰travelled more than I did before 40⠀
🍰bought our first home⠀
⠀
🎂It’s never too late friends. You are right on time to make your OWN dreams come true. ⠀
⠀
🎂Birthday bonus for y’all: to celebrate the team at One Click Beauty who I launched my lip kit with, is picking one person who buys the lip kit this week and giving them two tickets to Disneyland (more details in my stories)⠀
