Good morning folks! 🙏 Happy Self-care Sunday!
I organized all my work clothes on Friday, and gave myself a mini pedicure. Today, I'll refine my pedicure & add polish. I haven't had colored polish on my toenails in ages; just clear.
Months ago, and recently I purchased some beauty maintenance products from Temu. I used a few things, but have yet to use the others; so it's time to test them out.
Aside from facial moisturizer, I don't really do much to my face. Hydration is essential; so aside from drinking lots of water, and using facial moisturizer, I'll incorporate a few things into my weekly beauty regime. Facial masks feel so rejuvenating!
If you don't want to buy teeth whitening powder, although it's really inexpensive on Temu; just buy a $1 box of good ole fashioned baking soda. It produces similar results, and makes you teeth feel really clean. Use either kind of powder with your regular toothpaste.
I bought a really inexpensive teeth whitening pen. In the past I've used many, and they definitely work. The strips also work well, too.
I used some black hair dye shampoo for the 1st time, like 2 weeks ago. It appears to work, but obviously my hair goes & my little gray hairs start to pop up in the front. I bought a hair coloring stick so I don't have to dye my roots often.
Washing my hair is always a chore! I'm blessed at 50 to have a full head of thick, healthy hair, but Washing & conditioning it takes awhile! I let it air dry overnight, and by the morning time; it's usually completely dry. This is the 1st time in over 30 years that my hair is passed my elbows!
I haven't done any yoga in ages! I admit that I completely lost all motivation. However, I mediate several times a day, on my days off, and twice a day on the days I work. I do yoga stretches in bed while I mediate & pray.
If you follow my posts on this page, you'll see that 5 days a week, while working; I do between 5k and over 7k steps per day! I get fresh air while waiting on the train, and walking before & after work.
I'm going to have a different routine, that will include doing yoga on Saturdays & Sundays once I reach a major goal! Lots of things in my life will change; be altered, be eliminated, increase, decrease, and be incorporated!
Yoga at home has to include a peaceful environment! I don't like loud noises, in general, and absolutely cannot mediate if there's loud noises. I don't even listen to mediation sounds. No music, no tv; only nature's sounds coming from outside!
As long as there isn't a loud car coming down the street; the sound of cars rolling by actually sounds like the ocean waves. Early in the morning birds 🐦 wake up singing. Sound mediation is fun.
I'm planning on cutting open a huge watermelon 🍉, that I bought like over a week ago 😋. Hope it's sweet. The teacher that I'm an assistant for, gave me to ripe avocados 🥑 last week. I'll chop them up & add them to some spicy hot 🌶 🔥 salsa. Perfect with scrambled eggs, tortilla chips, and homemade tostadas!
Trying to decide what I'll make for my work meal preps! 🤔. I'm definitely making some yummy ground turkey with taco 🌮 seasoning. My homemade bean 😋 tostadas; omg they're super delicious! Haven't made any in forever.
Maybe I'll make some ground turkey meatballs 😋, and make some spaghetti 🍝. I have pasta, and spaghetti sauce. Cucumbers 🥒 as a healthy, yummy side.
I bought my favorite flavor of tuna in bulk; dill tuna salad, and it's time to start eating them with crackers for a work meal. Cucumbers 🥒 also a perfect side with it. Maybe I'll boil a few eggs to add to my homemade cucumber 🥒 🥗 🍅 salad.
Maybe for my dinner, this evening; I'll fry up 2 little tortillas, make tacos 🌮 with some of the ground turkey, and use the avocado 🥑 salsa I'll make! Cucumbers 🥒 on the side, lol.
Will be on social media about an hour longer; then mediate, manifest, pray & take a good nap.
Protect your mental health!
I'm blessed 🙌
Health is wealth 🙏
