I haven’t done an RPS class in almost 2 weeks, due for my period any day now and fell into a really poor comfort eating cycle the past couple of days. A combination that has had me not exactly loving myself after last month I finally felt like I was finding consistency again.

Well there’s no way to get back to that without starting somewhere. I started with a long walk after work today and found myself thinking back to some past themed weeks with all of their lessons from nature. And then I found a bench and some movements I remembered from a chair class. These step ups and some tricep dips followed. They were wobbly but they were still a win for me today. And I look forward to using the high from my small win to fuel tapping in tomorrow.

Just reminding myself and anyone else who needs it the small wins are good too 🫶🏼

I am so pleased I did it and conquered my fears of camping alone up on a mountain! I've just returned from a 3 day hike in Lapland Sweden. I got lost day one, day two made it to the highest mountain station in Sweden (Låkta). It was very luxurious and cozy, I had a sauna and dried my wet shoes. I met lots of nice Swedes and had some real in depth conversations over dinner, day three returned to semi- civilization! 35km and around 2000m elevation gain. Haven't done anything like that before. I listened to myself and left northern Norway for this adventure after stressing about my final PhD exam preparations. I spent so much time alone walking up in the mountains but not once did I feel alone. When I felt myself rushing I checked in with myself and told myself to slow down and take in the present moment. I felt like I was just surviving up there. Such a good feeling to challenge myself and think about what matters. I love nature 🦋

Ahhh look what I came home to today!!!!

As someone who has tried so hard to be a weight lifter at the gym (I want to, but I go there and see all the men taking up the free weight area and just don't want to anymore lol) and that resistance has led to me going to the gym maybe twice a month and then feeling guilty about it the rest of the time for not making the most of my $50 a month membership, I did my FIRST EVER RPS class last night and just instantly fell in love. I know THIS is something I can do consistently and WILL show up for. And hey, I do hope to repair my relationship with the gym still 🩹

Put my RPS rock in my snack plant 🥰🥰

Edit: Snake plant. My phone hates me 🤣😂

I spontaneously decided to cycle to a mountain and hike up it in probably the worst conditions! Rain and fog and hail on the top (1100 m) I'm grateful for the map on my Garmin otherwise I probably wouldn't have found my way off the mountain in the fog! I actually turned back early and didn't climb the last 100 m or so because I couldn't see anything! My hands were freezing because I didn't take waterproof gloves so was squeezing the water out the whole time! I didn't see anyone, it was quite exhilarating. I sat on a rock drinking a can of coke in the fog feeling a mix of feelings of regret and accomplishment!

Bought some LED lights from Costco and had a family dance party lol

Hi Bad B’s! Happy Friday!

I know we talk about curls sometimes here hehe so I wanted to share this amazing hair product my hairdresser put me onto, a “curl win” ! I am very minimal (lazy lol) with my curls, a wash and go type. This is a super lightweight “gel” tho not sticky at all. I rake it thru my hair when wet then let it dry. Leaves room for volume and hair to get big, just helps keep the curl shape and mitigate a lil frizz. But does not leave a cast or get crunchy. Handmade in batches with minimal ingredients, mostly organic. 10/10 recommend — my new holy grail and so easy to only use 1 product !! I feel like my natural texture can live freely, just has a lil more shine & smells so nice.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! If u try it let me know :)))
