2023 Check in!

-


Happy New Year! If you are reading this means you are alive and hopefully doing well. I’m curious to know if this week consisted of the changes you said wanted to do. I know the gym parking lots are full and the grocery stores fresh produce is flying off the shelves while the fast food chains have less people in their lines. I hope we can all keep it up! And yes I am definitely including myself in this encouraging push.

I saw a meme that said, “May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions”. I can’t help but to laugh at that. Just make sure you’re 2023 revision is obtainable. Ask yourself if you can remain consistent enough so that it becomes a lifestyle change. Start small. Set your goal to Feb and then extend it to March and so on.

Don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you’re choosing a lifestyle change like going vegan, for example. Start off by selecting certain days of the week to go meatless and then work your way up from there. Five years ago I made a lifestyle which to a Flexitarian lifestyle. Being a flexitarian focuses on less meat and dairy consumption. I made a personal choice to eliminate beef and pork and I haven’t had it since.

When the clock strikes midnight a Cinderella transformation doesn’t happen. All you can do is put your best foot forward in all that you do and if nothing else give yourself grace! So start that side hustle, journal, read more books, think more positive ,travel more and get that sleep your body deserves.

The staff was professional and well experienced! I flew solo otherwise I'd still  be waiting for a partner LOL.

Smash Avenue Foxwoods   $$$ Ledyard, Ct Score: 8/10 Nothing better than a little demolition to destress! I was sweating under the jacket so dress lightly when you go.

Jelly Jar Centennial Milestone

Growing up I've always loved the segment of the  Today Show  that highlighted 100th birthday milestones. Each centennial's picture was placed on a Smuckers Jelly Jar and Al Roker would read their hobbies and current locations. Belive it or not this was the motivational push that inspired me to start a wellness conscious lifestyle. For some, this might sound far fetched however my grandmother was 102 years old and her sister was 106 before they became heavenly  ancestors. Although genetic longevity is a good start I understand maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a must. Only appropriate to insert a random southern saying...Lord willing and the creek don't rise. If I'm honest I've never gotten an explanation on the creek rising part. Tell me in the comment if you know LOL Okay so your probably wondering what my plan is.  Five years ago I became a Flexitarian  and yes it's a real word LOL. I made the choice to minimize meat and dairy products. As we all

Viral TikTok Filter Stirs Up Mixed Reactions!!

What's the fuss? The first Tiktok filter is called, Teenage, which shows a split screen of a “younger” version of you and what you currently look like today. Apparently it has been a trigger for some app users especially for those who had difficult teenage years. Initially I thought the reactions were because they were distraught about how they've aged. Then I stumbled across a reaction of a crying lady who saw the troubled teenage version of herself. The other TikTok filter is called, Bold Glamour. This filter includes a full coverage makeup that includes lashes, highlights, deep contouring and for some people it chisels your jawline. The complaint is how the masculine jaw alteration makes them feel self conscious about the results.  I’m sure there will be more social media filters to enjoy and scrutinize. I can attest they definitely keep things interesting! One could only hope that those who were struggling with the past see this as a gateway to professional counseling.  -Ni
