Happy Friday! I’m going to keep it real here. I don’t know about you but, I’m in the season of finding myself again. Some of you may have seen my IG posts and all. Let me start. Yes, I’ve been a Mary Kay consultant locally in my town since 2013 off and on. I also have a little jewelry biz/hobby really, since 2021 but that is more of a “when I feel like it” kind of a thing, hence, hobby. ☺️ That one is fun and more like a party thing to me! It has the dance club vibes to me which I’ve always loved!

✨👉🏼 I’ve been into health and fitness since 1989 and my dream was to become a personal trainer where I later learned that I don’t like creating programs. My area seemed to be in accountability and giving resources to others as well as tips and knowledge of my skills that I’ve learned on my own and in the books. In the past I’ve had private groups on fb for fun, following along with me, mini challenges and more. I may do that again if enough are interested.

Thank you if you got to reading this far!! I will figure out my area! 🥰

For years, I’ve been exploring health, beauty, and just gentle ways to care for myself - and I love sharing what I’ve learned. I’ve been running a local beauty business for many years now, as well as a little jewelry business and it’s taught me so much about confidence, self-care, and really, helping women feel their best.

Right now, I’m in a season of exploration-figuring out which direction to focus on next. Whether it ends up being beauty, health related, or even a creative venture of some kind, I’m excited to share the journey with you.

It’s about real life, curiosity, and celebrating every step along the way!

💛 I hope it’ll inspire you to explore, maybe create, and embrace YOUR very own season of possibilities.

This is a gentle space for women 40+ who are rebuilding strength through self-care.

Here, strength means listening to your body, slowing down, and creating supportive daily rhythms.

I share encouragement, gentle routines, and the self care I personally use as part of my own routine - always optional, always sharing.

If you’re here to care for yourself with self care, and reconnect with your inner strength and beauty, you’re in the right place 🌿

🤍 Take what supports you. Leave what doesn’t 🤍

👟 After 40, fitness isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about moving smarter...

For many of us in midlife, exercise stopped feeling enjoyable, or sustainable.

As I am 55 years old, so not in my 40s any longer, still, this page exists for women 40+ who want to move again-without punishment, pressure, or burnout.

No extremes.
No “all or nothing.”
Just strength built slowly, with respect for your body.

If you’ve been thinking about starting again… well, maybe this is your sign. 💪🌿

☀️ Sunday is about relaxing and self care. Setting your mind for the week ahead by maybe focusing on prayer time and taking a little time for yourself. Enjoy your day! Tomorrow for me begins the week off with a little movement and strengthening the body.

.
It all began in 2015 when I decided to commit to getting certified as a personal trainer. And then, I couldn’t stop. Moved up to a master trainer. I have decided I cannot just throw that away…..It was ALOT of hard work!! Studying, and late nights to finish it.

I think it’s time I revisit it since I put in the hard work. Which means, I can go in a lot of different ways with this. Through prayer, I really need clarity in where exactly to go with this. My goal is to reach a decision by the new year. 🙏🏼

☀️ Sitting here finishing my coffee looking at the sunlight coming in on the curtains. I love the sunshine. So, I ran across a post that said, be thankful for where you’re at, someone else is wishing they had what you have. As I scrolled through that carousel post, which is in my stories now, it made me think. God sure does talk to us in many ways. Be watchful because he is talking to you through something you see whether it’s outside, tv or maybe a post. I had so much on my mind when I sat down….But then, it made me stop and think. ☕️🙌🏼🥰 Enjoy your Friday!

✨ Did you know in a study done they’ve found we can turn back time just by exercising? A rigorous, two year exercise program that involves high intensity interval training could reverse heart aging by up to 20 years in middle aged individuals.

💥 We should aim for 150 minutes a week. Which means, 30 min. 5 times a week or, 25 minutes 6 days a week. You do the math of what works but, I’m here to help with coaching. 😊

If you don’t know me well I’ve always been into health and fitness. Forever! And, I’m a certified master fitness trainer which was a dream always for me as well as a certified health coach. It begins with patience and baby steps. Get active today. It does the mind and body good in more ways than you even know. Just pm me if you’d like to know how it helps the body or, google yourself. Enjoy your day! 😊

☀️ Good morning! ☕️ Maybe get outside and be a little active this weekend. 🚴🏼‍♀️ Your body will thank you. A walk around the block, hop on your bike, swim, paddle board, lift weights, floor/mat body weight exercises, home videos, btw, I have great recommendations that will fit YOU personally. Enjoy your holiday weekend!

Good morning. Oatmeal with diced apples, a dash of cinnamon and Stevia. Speaking of, did you know science found stevia has anti-cancer properties? And, coffee is beneficial to the liver and reducing liver diseases as well. Cool stuff. What are you having for breakfast? ☕️
