Inside Out Blog

Hello again beautiful people!         So today I wanted to share with you my story of how I courageously dropped out of college to follow my dreams. This is something that is going against the norm in our society, so it was not easy to do. I really had to rely on my own intuition to guide me, and trust that everything was going to work out. These days, it seems that's getting harder and harder for people to do, so I hope that sharing how I was able to leave my comfort zone and take huge risks to follow my dreams, it will be able to help you too. And it was all completely worth it- I am glad I did it and am proud of where it has brought me today. The Beginning: A Lost, Hopeless Girl I am going to start by sharing a little overview of my life up until my turning point. I have one younger brother 2 years younger than me, and we both went to the same Catholic school together. I was an extremely shy, sensitive, and in...

Hello beautiful people!         OK so for today's post, I want to talk about acceptance. How and why should accept yourself fully, 100% as you are right now. Accepting all of your so called "flaws", things you don't like about yourself and your body, past mistakes, all of it. And right now, in this very moment. Because often we SAY we will accept ourselves in the future, like once we lose weight, or get a certain job, etc. That means that you will always just keep putting acceptance of yourself in the future, and never right now, which means...that likely you never will. You see? No, learn to do it now. It is a very powerful point of self growth to do so. This can be very challenging. But why should you do so and why is it so important? Well, it is important to be free. Free of burdens of guilt, shame, anger, and fears. You should be free to express you are and what you want to be, with no limits. If you do not fully accept yourself, then you are still holding somet...

Hello there Bloggers!         OK so for today's post I want to talk about stepping out of your comfort zone and really revealing to the world who you really are. How to feel good about yourself. Inside and out. I understand it can be very difficult to do these days, but I am here to encourage and motivate you to stay true to you and follow your dreams, and to be and stay positive. There is hope and you have a reason to be excited about your future...while feeling comfortable in your own skin. So let's talk about ways to do that.         So I want to first discuss something that I have noticed has become a common poisoning in not only women, but in our society and may seem irrelevant, but I will get there. It's the silent but addictive habit of staying at home too much and indulging in things like Netflix and the internet. More and more people are complaining that they have no friends or money and are spending less time together and o...

Hello my beauties!          OK so for today's post I want to talk about following your heart when it comes to expressing yourself, and why it is so important. I am going to use an example from personal experience. At age 24, I was in an unhappy living situation and began experiencing depression and ended up developing a thyroid problem as well, which resulted in me gaining nearly 200 lbs in a year and a half. This sudden and extreme weight gain really took a toll on my self esteem, and this started to prevent me from expressing myself at all. I stopped wearing my favorite jewelry, styling my hair, wearing clothes I wanted to wear, and even stopped wearing makeup...all things I adore doing and really needed to do to creatively express part of who I am. This caused me to be in such a sad state, shoving down and away my desires and creativity. Life got duller, because I believed I was too big and what was the point if nothing would look right on me anymore. I kept...

Welcome back my loves!         How did your lists go? (Check out previous blog for details) They went well I trust ;) OK so for today's post, I'm going to talk about how to feel beautiful. Some of these may sound obvious, but they are important to keep up to have your self esteem know that you are worth it. Here is an example of what I mean by that. At one point in my life, I had totally stopped taking care of myself in favor of stress, chalking it up to "I didn't have time or money", leaving my spirit depleted of the beauty and self care it craved. It wasn't until then that I realized how very important it is to feel beautiful, and once I started taking care of myself again, I lovingly and enthusiastically nourished my spirit back. It feels SO good to relish in caring for yourself and expressing your own creative beauty. And I am going to help show you how to do that.         Well first off, find out (if you don't already know) what types of be...
