Summer Glow & Listening to My Body

What an amazing summer day. I’m absolutely loving the weather we’re getting right now those perfect 70s and 80s are giving total summer vibes. No complaints here! These are the kinds of days that mean more time at the pool and park for my daughter and granddaughter.

I don’t always join in for pool days, especially right now while we’re still trying to figure out what’s going on with my skin. Out of nowhere, I’ve suddenly become super sensitive or allergic to sunscreen, and it’s been rough. So for now, I’m skipping the sun-heavy days and sticking to evening park trips, which work better for me anyway. The SPF in my makeup doesn’t bother me, thankfully.

But honestly, seeing my daughter spend this quality, one-on-one time with her daughter during summer break? It’s beautiful. Watching them laugh and play all day today made my heart so full.

As for me, I was exhausted today. No real reason just that bone-deep tired kind that sneaks up on you. I think I’ve been pushing myself too hard again, like I always do. It’s a habit I’ve had for years, and it’s one I’m still trying to break.

So today, I listened to my body I only did what absolutely needed to get done, and then gave myself space for some much-needed self-care. I had another skin care day (you already know that’s my thing), and I started back into my guasha routine, plus a session with my red light therapy, which I’ve been using for about a week now.

I’ve also been trying out face taping and let me be honest, I’m not totally sold. I do see a difference, but it’s temporary. The results fade after hours of wear, and everything kind of goes back to baseline. Still, I committed to 30 days, so I’ll give a full update once I hit that mark.

For now, I’m wrapping this up and heading to bed. I’ve got two appointments tomorrow, including a hair appointment and I am so excited to get my hair done. Nothing like fresh hair energy!

I hope everyone had a peaceful and happy Monday. Sending hugs as always šŸ’›
