This past weekend was a tough one for me. I felt defeated on more than one occasion which resulted in me bursting into tears multiple times throughout the weekend. My anxiety has always made it difficult for me to deal with things that perhaps most other people would take in stride. I’m only just now learning to respect that quality about myself. I often wish I could handle more things on my plate but I know how important being on top of my mental health is. •••• In the last few years, there’s been a huge culture shift toward positivity & enlightenment which is beautiful, but remember that it’s okay to be human. You’re allowed to complain & be frustrated with life. You can allow gross, uncomfortable emotions pass through your system. Feel what you need to feel. Dwell on it a little bit if you have to. There’s no instruction manual for emotions. (For the record, if there was, I’d have at least 8 copies + a travel-sized copy for my purse). •••• On a lighter note, I hope you all have a lovely week!! Is there anything you’re looking forward too this week??

Happy #NationalSiblingDay to my favorite (& only) sister. She’s still taller than me :(( I would write a long, sappy caption but we’re currently making dinner & Brittany wouldn’t appreciate me bailing out on her now 😘 •••• Do you guys have siblings or are you an only child?

Not the best picture of me due to the harsh, direct light but I was so happy about the weather and my cute kitty that I don’t care. Both of my cats are indoor only but when it’s nice out, we let Oliver sit on our laps on the back steps for a few minutes. Probably not the best idea but we love him so much that he basically always gets what he wants 🤷🏻‍♀️ •••• Do you guys have any pets?? If not, what kind of pet do you want?? •••• ps..fully aware that Oliver looks miserable in this photo but I’m pretty sure he’s just squinting 😂

#ad Dress season is upon us which also means shaving season is upon us. Of course shaving isn’t a necessity, but if you choose to shave, I couldn’t recommend joy razors enough!! joy has an uncomplicated, delightful design that keeps shaving refreshingly simple. It’s five-blared cartridges give a comfortable shave that removes hair surprisingly well. It’s exclusively available at Walmart and Walmart.com for just $8.97. It comes in both pink & teal (I chose the pink). Which color would you choose? •••• #HelloJoy #FindYourJoy #HerjoyCollab #ambcollab #ambcollab #herbpg

All I need to get through the end of the semester: lavender water, lavender candle (with an amethyst crystal inside), crystals, & affirmation cards. This semester has been academically challenging for me, but only 3 more full weeks & I’ll be on summer break. Thank God 🙏🏻 •••• How many of you are college students?? What do y’all do to get through the end of the semester??

Wearing my denim jacket again. If you haven’t noticed yet, I wear it aaaall the time. For a few years now, I’ve been trying to be more intentional about what I buy. I want the things in my closet to be stylish, but timeless. I want to invest in higher quality pieces that I’ll wear for years instead of getting a completely new wardrobe for every season. It’s my way of decreasing my contribution to the 92 MILLION TONS of solid waste dumped in landfills each year (source: UNenvironment.org). •••• I’m not perfect at avoiding fast fashion, but being more conscious of what I buy, how often I buy, and where what I’m buying actually comes from has massively changed the way I shop. If you want to learn more about fast fashion, there’s a documentary on Netflix called The True Cost. I would highly recommend watching it. Education is power.
