Today I reached a personal goal of being invited by my teacher to join the intermediate mat and reformer classes at the classical pilates studio I go to! Moving on up from the beginner level!
🤗🎉💪🏾
I feel so proud of my growth, especially over the past 4 months - in which I’ve been taking classes twice per week. Earlier this year I made a commitment to myself to prioritize my classes because it has helped strengthen me physically, socially, and mentally. One of the reasons I have chosen to work less during the weeknight evenings was to make space for me to nurture other key areas of my life and well-being, which has included exercise that I enjoy.
As it’s commonly known, pilates is not an inexpensive workout but I’ve built my almost $300/month membership into my budget and view it like a necessary bill similar to my car note or groceries. It is indeed necessary for me though because it’s positively impacted so many aspects of my wellness. Auto-renew has also helped keep me on top of my routine because I’m not going to let that money go to waste 😩 lol.
I feel so thankful to have (literally) stumbled across this local studio and be able to maintain consistent attendance to class.

One of my favorite additions to our garden this year are these breathtaking roses… that have a connection to the musician, Prince.
My hubby is OBSESSED with Prince, so as I was browsing through Better Homes & Gardens and saw the article about The Most Beautiful Rose, I just had to get them! I thought they would be a meaningful gift for our home.

The article:

The rose variety is “the result of a partnership between Danish rose breeding company Roses Forever, luxury rose retailer April & Ashley, and Mayte Garcia,” and the proceeds are supposed to be donated to Live 4 Love Charities.

This was my first time buying a plant online, so I bought two pots - just in case one didn’t look too good when it arrived. I shouldn’t have worried because they came in excellent condition - yay. I decided to have them planted, one on each side of one of the porch staircases. Then I planted some salvia next to it. We’ve loved how striking the colors of roses and salvia look next to each other.

Garden is looking extra perky after a lot of rain this week ☺️ A lot of my herbs return each year but I’ve added some berry bushes - raspberry and peach sorbet blueberry; and planted some salvia around the yard so hopefully I can get more hummingbird visitors. Our new rose bushes are also blooming beautifully 💜

Random About Me: One of my favorite style icons and inspirations since age 12 or 13 is Salma Hayek 😍 She’s really “that girl.” Her and Christina Hendricks were crucial representations for me and seeing how I could dress for my body type in a way that made me feel confident and stylish. They helped me embrace and love my curves at a time when it was easier to have plenty of moments of insecurity as I was developing - physically and socially.
I thought this was so cute/funny… (left photo): a dress - BOSS by Hugo Boss - I bought a few months ago and wore to a garden wedding yesterday; (right photo) a photo I saw this morning that Salma posted this weekend. The blue, ruched, mesh detail look was a vibe apparently lol

I had fun last night making dinner with my Le Creuset Everyday Pan. The little convenience of being able to go stove to oven made all the difference in my cooking experience. Seasoned and browned the chicken, then added a mixture of olive oil, half a lemon, garlic, lemon thyme, and oregano (herbs from my garden), before baking it. Topped it off with some fresh dill ☺️

I love when my schedule allows me to have dinner ready for when my hubby comes home from work. That’s something that genuinely makes me happy. The little pleasures…💜 This only took about 40 minutes to prep and cook, so it can now be a part of our weekday rotation of meals. We had jasmine rice and roasted, herbed carrots for the sides.

😂🥲 I have had this Christmas Cactus for about 6 years. It’s grown so slowly and has NEVER had buds. This year, for whatever reason she decided to bloom! There’s about 4 more flowers coming in, too. Proud plant mom moment 💜

A coworker of mine shared this song with me and woo! These lyrics and her voice hit my core 💜

"I celebrate me
For the woman I became
Through the hurt, through the pain
I still found my way
I celebrate me
And I won′t apologize
Every step I took
Got me to this life"

This one is for the ones who made it through quietly“Celebrate Me” is a raw neo soul song about survival healing and learning to honor yourself for everythin...
