Because my daughter deserves better. Everything I do, I do it for HER.

I had 2 miscarriages in Texas and was denied a D&C the first time and left to fight for my own care. The 2nd miscarriage I bled out and taken by ambulance to the ER only to be sent home with dead tissue still inside me because they wouldn’t even offer a D&C. 

I am lucky to even be alive after both experiences. I am left with trauma and deteriorated health. So yes, I will speak on this topic until my final breath. 

If you’d like to read my story, just Google my name and miscarriage. My story was told worldwide. The hardest part is I’m just one of THOUSANDS of women who have suffered or even died. Women deserve better 📣📣📣

I have struggled with weight since I was a child. I lost 125 pounds years ago and ended up putting it back on because my mind wasn’t right. In this picture at my lowest weight, I was in an abusive relationship and was losing weight because I had to in order to feel loved. I wasn’t losing weight to feel good- I was losing it to look a certain way because someone told me I was unworthy unless I did. 

Now that I’m in my 40’s and mentally stronger, my relationship with food has changed. I don’t view it as “good” or “bad” but just shifted to think “how can I love and nourish my body today?” I’m so focused now on meeting my goals of protein, fiber with lots of colorful veggies and fruits that I have no room for junk because I’ve already filled up on fuel that my body needs.

I know this sounds like bullshit but I promise you that if you can shift your mindset, the weight will come off more easily. More importantly, your focus will be on health vs what a scale says because it’s just a number anyways 💁🏻‍♀️

Most massively successful people don’t even start until mid 40’s and older so stop telling yourself it’s too late. It’s NEVER too late ❤️

I went down a full dress size this month just eating this consistently. I don’t diet, I don’t count calories- I eat Whole Foods and lots of it. 

If you’re over 40 and struggling with your health, this is the only time in my life I’ve lost weight and it wasn’t a struggle 😭#Healthyat40 #over40beauty

Let’s focus today on improving our productivity. As women, we wear MANY hats between work, home life, self care… It’s SO overwhelming.  The only way I’ve been able to achieve more per week is to rigidly block my time and focus on one task at a time. 

NO more multi tasking because it does not work! I learned the hard way after many years 😩

What system do you use to help you stay organized??

*PLEASE READ: my opening statement of “successful brand owners” in NO way meant to say only they are struggling. It’s to show how hard of an impact current times is and EVERYONE is struggling. I’m so sorry my wording didn’t come across as I meant it 😩

Here’s what I’ve learned after many hard times: You can only change your life by taking one bite at a time. Each day write down the ONE thing you can tackle that will move the needle 1% towards the ultimate change you want.  That 1% change compounded over time will give you results but it takes time and consistency. Whenever I’ve tried to tackle it all at once, I’m crumbled and failed miserably. I learned the hard way after many fails (and some wins) that 1% action per day is the only way not to feel overwhelmed. 

Do not give up as results don’t happen overnight, so keep going and never lose focus on what that change is you want to happen in your life.

Cheering you all on and sending love from here!!!! Xoxoxoxo ❤️❤️🙌🏼

Let’s focus today on physical health and how to sneak in a lil’ extra protein. My doctor wants me adding more protein to keep me full longer and help me to build muscle and stay strong since I’m now over 40 

Each video I post I will focus on one part of life I’m trying to improve:
🌿Physical Health
💛Mental/ Emotional Health
🥵Perimenopause
💃Confidence/Style
📓Personal Routine
📈Business

This video is SO out of my comfort zone but I personally can’t just focus on what lipstick is best to buy when everyone is struggling right now in some way. I am going deeper on this platform because I know I can bring value through the many hard lessons I’ve gone through in life. If I can help even one person to have hope in rebuilding one part of their life then I’m ok with losing some subscribers or being kicked off the algorithm. 

I will be posting content showing what I’m doing to improve my mental health, how I’m trying to lose weight (only to be healthy - I don’t give a sh*t about being in a bikini 😅), how I’m balancing life as a mom and building a new brand, and even how to survive perimenopause cause that’s a whole sh*tshow on its own 😩

If you want ONLY makeup content, I will be posting it all in long form and shorts on YouTube. But here, I need to follow my soul and go deeper to try to help others if I can.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following me during these 17 years on social media. You have changed my life in so many ways and words aren’t enough to show you how grateful I am. I hope these videos can be my way of giving back and saying THANK YOU ❤️

I stopped caring in my 40’s if I was “liked” and started caring if I loved myself and loved others. I am raising my daughter to treat EVERYONE with love and respect because we are all Gods people no matter where we were born, where we came from, or the color of our skin. If saying something as simple as that makes me not liked, I’m ok with that. 

So if that is a controversial statement for you, then this page is not for you. I’m not here to be liked or to be popular, I’m here to use my voice and the platform I’ve been graciously given for 17 years. I was given this platform for a reason and I will not waste it
