- These photos are not great, but here is the mani I got last week. I also did a matte finish on my toes for the first time, and love it.
- I feel a lot of relief that I was able to get so much painting done in LA. I’m teaching a rock painting class at my workout studio tomorrow night and I didn’t have much prepped for it! I normally don’t do rocks with lettering but figured the positive messages made sense for a gym!
All the words ones are mine
- Ahh, speaking of rock painting, I said no to cohosting a challenge (#felinefestive) with a group of friends that I’ve hosted with previously. I really hate saying no because we have fun doing it, but the timing and my mood just aren’t right for it. I don’t want to force myself to create art for the challenge prompts, and I don’t want to spend a lot of time on Instagram looking at the entries of people who participate. I will promote the challenge and participate when I can, and maybe feel like hosting again for #felinethelove in February? I should be less busy in January and able to prep?
- I didn’t have a list of things I wanted to talk with my therapist about on Tuesday so I was just shooting the sh*t, then right when my session was ending I had a breakthrough on a big thing I need to work on. I felt silly about not realizing it beforehand until I was talking about it with Tiff and she reminded me that things often need to be talked out to get to that point. I feel good knowing we’re going to work on that at my next session! And I feel weirdly proud for continuing my therapy. Like, look at me, attempting to take care of my mental health. Ha.
Good call on not co-hosting the challenge when it’s not at a good time. There is a ton of stuff that I’d like to be doing in theory, but the reality is that I don’t have the bandwidth at the end of the year…and it will all still be there in January when I’m better able to take it on.
What you friend said in a different way…sometimes it takes a therapy session to get to the stuff that you need to work on…it’s all good.
Thanks for your support! I am glad to hear you are protecting your bandwidth too. It’ll make for a better start to the new year!
It does! Thank you!
Love the manicure! So pretty.
And good for you for saying no. The pressure to say yes is so strong, but it’s such an act of self care to put your own priorities first.
Thank you!
And thanks, I agree!
Hooray for a therapy breakthrough! Even if it came at the end, Tiff is right… sometimes all of that conversation beforehand leads you to the breakthrough you need! Proud of you!
Thank you Stephany! I always think of you when I have a good session. LOL. Thanks for all your support!
