Let’s Talk About Those #Views

Working through the challenging moments of 2020 has definitely taught me a lot about myself. From the every day stresses of paying bills and working from home, to the bigger thoughts of what’s 2021 going to be like, something I now know is that it is important to disconnect. Over the last few months Julio and I have been showcasing some ways to relax and have a change of scenery, and this past weekend we did just that on a #Staycation fit for a Queen.

Five Things They Didn’t Tell Me About Quitting Smoking

One of the things I often think about while I share posts like my fitness journeys over the years is my overall health. While I’ve been many iterations of myself very publicly, there of course is always a certain amount of me that I have kept out of the public eye. Some for the sake of a sense of privacy, but others because I had a sense of shame around them. One of those things in that for a very long time, I was a cigarette smoker.

Almost two and half years after quitting for good, I got to thinking about some of the things that I wish someone would have told me when I was getting ready to finally do it. So if nothing else, maybe this blog post, in particular, might help shed some light on the process and help someone feel more empowered to do the same with some real insights, albeit in hindsight.

I don’t know about you, but with 2020 being the year that it was, I am very much focused on the holiday season and the happy memories that await.

In anticipation of all of these things, I wanted to share this year’s hottest gift items so that you can be like me and get a jump start on your shopping.
