Happy Birthday to me.
Celebrating my birthday this week. I take this time of year to take inventory of my life. Where lāve been where lām going.
I think about the things l did that l am proud of. I reflect on my mistakes, what l learned and how l can do better the next time around. I think of what stories l tell myself that are no longer serving me so that l can let go of those things.
Life is too important to be taken seriously. – Oscar Wilde
A few fun facts about us Virgos š¤
Virgoās strive for perfection we desire to have order to our lives. We may not always be right but we āaināt ānever wrong.
We thrive on ethical hard work, living a healthy lifestyle and we absolutely love animals and being in nature.
We can be extremely direct and critical but know itās with love because we know you got what it takes. Know that we are just as critical if not more of ourselves.
If we spend our precious time with you know that you are very special to us as we take our use of energy and time very seriously.
If we consider you a friend. You will have our solid support and will be your biggest cheerleader. This earth sign will motivate, encourage and speak life into you.
We are also highly intuitive.
Weāre most compatible with Capricorns, Aries, Taurus, and Scorpios. We donāt bulllshiaaat, only talk when itās necessary and hold conversations of substance.
We make loving someone into an art form. We are romantics at heart and take our time in relationships. Our love is not earned easily, but once it is earned we love completely.
Weāre not for everyone, many think we are stuck-up, stand offish, shy as most of us are lol. We are also low key extroverts once we are comfortable. We first observe people, vibes, our surroundings and the flow good conversation has got too feel right for us to open up.
Once weāre comfortable, you canāt shut us up! We know how to have fun and experience pure elation. If you can handle this brand of love in your life, donāt sleep on a Virgo āļø

Hi Divas!
This week l had the good fortune of lucking up and being gifted a trampoline by a neighbor who no longer used theirs itās basically new and in great condition!
Iāve been wanting to get one for a minute but they are sold out in a lot of places the good quality ones. Everyone keeping active with everything going on.
Itās great for a home workout because it doesnāt take up a lot of space and it can help you get the that heart rate and break a sweat! Iāve attached 5 top benefits of gettin your bounce on dear diva!
1: lncreases Detoxification and Cleanses the body. Itās a ā weightlessā exercise jumping and landing so the shift in gravity benefits every muscle and cell in the body and sets your lymphatic system on fiya providing huuuuuuge benefits. Huge.
2: lt helps reduce cellulite! Yessss divas it helps with that lil extra. It helps stimulate the thyroid gland to start cleaning itself and the whole lymphatic system of stored fat! Booooom!!!
3: lt lncreases Energy! Who needs more of it? It increases oxogen circulation which in turn leading to increased cell energy. Yasssssss. It increases biomechanical stimuli which means that gettin your bounce on is more beneficial to your body than running and doesnāt put pressure on your joints.
4: Reduces body fat! It firms your thighs legs,abs arms, and hips. Bouncing promotes fat loss. Extra Fat? girrrrrl bye when you bounce!
5: Fly 5 it improves the effects of other exercises so if youāre a diva just out there gettin it in itās a great addition to your work out routine bouncing with other exercises is a form of strength training and weight lifting! Get it Fly n tight Divas!

Hey Divas!
We have all kinds of seasons throughout our lives. We only have and will always have the present season.
Weāve had a season of making mistakes, a season of doing everything ā right ā a season of being all ā wrong ā a season to be better and do better.
Itās not complicated. Itās just a matter of knowing the season youāre in and embracing it dear diva.
Iām in a season of being perfectly imperfect. Perfection has not brought me what l truly desire out of my life. When you know better. You do better.
I think about the mistakes lāve made. I think about the things lāve done right. The things lāve done wrong and how l can do better.
Embracing this season. Embracing this journey.

Hi Divas & Hello August!
New month new goals. So in short l was doing the extra most over this past year and a half or so during quarantine. I started to get serious about weight loss last month and to really focus on my health and all around wellness. Thereās much life l have left to live and l want to be in the best shape possible to enjoy it.
I look at my face and see my motherās face. Iām 43. She was 53 when she died from complications of diabetes. The older l get l the younger she looks. Itās not too late for me. I can turn this around. I was going down a path of feeling numbness in my legs and my fingers.
Iāve reached the highest weight of my life. I became depressed because l was ashamed that l allowed myself to go this far. Then l remembered lām a Diva first and foremost always. I keep a smile on my face because I still have my body. I still have my mind. I still have my health.
Ironically, Iām passionate about nutrition. I really deep dived into it over the years after starting my blog. Iām grateful that l have the knowledge to know what l need to do to take care of myself and get back on track while working with my doctor and nutritionist.
Having professional help will hold me accountable to my goals and connect the dots.

Hey Divas!
Let’s face it digestion is the key having a healthy lifestyle! No matter how healthy we are eating if our digestion is jacked up it can cause some problems when trying to lose and maintain weight.
The digestion system is basically a big tube called the esophagus the food goes down this tube and then through a valve to our stomach to the small intestine where we get the nutritional value of whatever it was we ate from there it moves to the large intestine this is where water is absorbed to sustain life and then from there the rest goes out the ” poop-shoot ” and into the toilet!
When the process is working the way it should you feel fabulous and fancy free when it’s not you’re shoot in bricks or pooping a river!#notagoodlookforadiva
Here are five ways that you can ensure that your digestion is working and that your internal organization is a smooth running machine!
1.Chew Your Food Divas! Slow your role we’re asking our stomachs to do the most when we inhale food it can not process it fast enough.
2. Watch Portion Size! Prior to our ” Fly By July ” mission we may have eaten a lot and caused for our stomachs to stretch so it’s use to getting the stretch everyday in the beginning or eating less food you can be hungry for a couple of days before the nerve ending around our stomach shrinks back. Persevere Divas!
3. Do Not Drink while Eating! So that your stomach acid can do what it needs to do and break down food also a great tip to promote optimal stomach acid is to Lemon Juice and a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar to help stimulate the production of stomach acid.
4. Take a quality probiotic! Our body needs a balance of good and bad bacteria to digest food. Going back to why it’s important to chew your food if we inhale food our bacteria does not digest it so it basically ferments in our body and we pass gas and fart to levels unknown to mankind! It stinks. This can also happen if we do not have high enough levels of acid in our stomach. A quality probiotic promotes healthier digestion and trips to throne with ease.
5. Get a handle on STRESS! When we are stressed out our bodies make Adrenaline because it thinks it’s in danger. Now because we are not running away from bears or typically our life is not physically our body creates Cortisol to help us feel good and chill out and we end up craving fat filled food and gain weight. Yoga is a great way to de-stress and connect with your inner diva or even an after dinner walk or maybe even catch up with an old friend. Take a bubble bath whatever it is do you unplug and de-stress Dear Diva!
I love to add my probiotic in my smoothies!
If you suffer from constipation or irregular bowel movements you need some probiotics in your life!
I use USANA’s probiotic because it is dairy-free sugar free and gluten-free! It’s designed to support digestion and healthy immune function. š
