I wasn’t sure if I was going to share a post this week. But I’m sitting on my couch and got the urge to come and just ramble. See if anything comes out of it.

These past few weeks I’ve been really locked in. Going to the gym, eating my meals, hydrating, just on my shit. Focused. And it’s working. I am finding myself looking forward to going to the gym! Lmao. And even when I take a day or two off I find myself missing it. How did I get to this point? Well I decided to go daily. Watched videos on YouTube to make sure that I’m using the correct form, and doing the work outs properly. I don’t want to hurt myself, and I don’t want the results to be delayed if I can help it. I also spent time on Pinterest updating my Gym and Home Work Out Boards. I also follow fitness accounts on Instagram. At the same time I also check out Vegan recipes and challenge myself to making something new at least once a month. It turned out to be two new things last month. Today is a rest day. I’ll be back tomorrow and the remainder of the week.

Spring is here!!!!! I don’t know if I said that last week but oh well lol. It deserves many shout outs. I love getting off work and being able to sit outside (on the warm days) and just unwind after the work day. It gives off the vibe that there’s still a lot of the day left to make my b**ch, lmao jk just wanted to see if you were paying attention. I said that last part with Ludacris’ voice 🤣 (Xenia, if you’re reading this “everything gon b r right!” ) I don’t know if you remember that I have a bird feeder in my backyard and I’ve been enjoying watching the Spring arrivals enjoying their free meals lol. Birds can be feisty! They will fight for their turns. Listen, this is my safe space lol you will not judge me for my bird watching hobby. And yes, I want binoculars just for this purpose.

I got switched to a different work shift due to my seniority. I get out a half hour early and go in a half hour early. It may not seem like a huge difference to you, but to me? Yes, it is! After my mom passed away I had to switch my work availability due to my son’s school hours. I could not work before 9 am. It’s a significant change for me. It’s personal.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by. As always, I appreciate your time and wish you a wonderful week. Looking forward to the great things the next few days hold for us all 😉. Did you notice the number of today’s post? Of course my spirit team is supporting me with my goals and dreams. They just love showing off!

Love, light, the shadow too, Cin.

Hi! Thanks for your patience with the posts. My goal is to have one up every Tuesday, but life happens. I’ve been busy at the gym, and just with life in general. I am still in hermit mode but slowly coming out. I am missing interacting with others. But I am being gentle, and patient about it. Being intentional with my energy and time.

I hope you have a great weekend! Enjoy the pics.

Xenia sent me and Adrian a goody box last October. And this was inside of it. I’ll admit that I didn’t know what it was.
And then I saw a video on Twitter (will not refer to it as X) and it explained that it’s a little activity and tool to help you calm down when you’re feeling anxious. You organize the books (they’re real titles!) on the shelves and this helps you focus on the task at hand and not your thoughts or the way your body is feeling. I tried it and it’s pretty neat.
My avocado toast has become a sandwich lol. Mine tastes so good because I add oregano, cilantro, and parsley, and a little bit of salt. Also pictured is a protein shake. I was going to the gym earlier that day and needed the little boost.
A little decor at a local gardening shop.
This is a throwback picture of myself. Loved how my hair looked.
This is Topanga. Annie’s new French Bulldog. She is very smart too! Already responds to her name, and is ringing the bell to be let outside to take care of her business.
This is an Ariana Grande parfum that Adrian gifted me in February. He was so happy and proud of himself.
This is my little collection of Parfums from over the years. I have mini bottles too, not pictured here. I like florals, warm vanilla scents, and to smell like baked goods lmao.
New conditioner from a new line that I tried. It’s by Tracee Ellis Ross. I’ve been told I look like her in the past due to our big eyes. I liked the conditioner so much that I added the leave in to my routine.
Here you see my coconut oil that I allowed to melt and added some castor oil to it. I am never ashy, lol. It gives such a beautiful glow too. I mean, look at my hand!
And a sweet treat. I won’t be having any for a while. I have goals to meet.

Again, thank you for your patience and thanks for stopping by!

Love, light, the shadow too—- Cin.
