Recently, I have been busy with doctor appointments, physical therapy, and more doctor appointments. I didn’t get a physical for about 3 years (a reminder to everyone to get those done yearly) but now I am on a mission to get healthy and make my routine doctor appointments.

Physical therapy has been taking up most of my time, I will be going 3 times a week for 8-10 weeks. Plus I have to wear a brace on my ankle. What happened you ask? I have super flat feel, which makes my ankle turn inwards. My ankle doesn’t hurt, but it does make my knee and hip hurt! So over the next 8-10 weeks, I will be learning to strengthen my hips, and my ankle so my knee pain can go away. Fingers crossed this can help my knee, and also help future pain.

Between doctor appointments, I have been reading nonstop, and also laying out in the sun! I’m trying to plan my Instagram content, but truthfully I have just been forgetting to post! I feel like I have an abundance of images saved in my drafts, but I need to hit that publish button on them.

I’m also trying to find my perfect everyday makeup that just enhances my natural skin, and trying new makeup techniques I just cannot wait to share with you all.

What I’m excited about:

Gene and I have been trying to plan our next trip. Our last trip, which was to Japan, was truly amazing. I still need to share out itinerary, (I know it’s been like 7 months) but sometimes I still think, “Man I got to go there?” We are toying with the idea of doing a relaxing vacation, or an exploring vacation. I’m leaning towards an exploring vacation because I want to see as much of the world as I can, while I can. Do you guys have fun summer plans coming up?

Recipe of the week:

Let’s be honest, in my house, I am not the cook, I will help and try, but the dishes I can make are essentially anything with pasta, and then rice and beans. While I am trying to get better, I will share the one recipe that has been on repeat. Last week I share my Feta Penne Pasta with Chicken, it went viral on Tik Tok during COVID and I have been loving it since. I finally nailed down my perfect recipe.

Nail look:

I recently tried the nail jelly trend, and guys I am obsessed. It’s a sheer, ultra-glossy manicure that gives your nails a ‘lip-gloss’ effect or a ‘jelly effect.’ I’ve been doing my nails at home for the past 6 months and I really love it. The jelly nail trend is the perfect everyday color. I have so many other pink and neutral colors that I cannot wait to try out. Check out the colors I got here.
