Time to come clean . . .

I have felt bad about not posting content on here for a while and have been off of this website for quite a while due to mental health issues. Part of those issues are due to the fact that as of January I lost my tech job. I am okay financially, but it came as a low blow. I do believe tech sales is so lucrative and can change lives. Sales certainly has changed my life over the years. I saw some changes in the company and had a sixth sense that it may be coming, but was constantly told I was fine and then the day came and in an instant I was let go. I was then reached back out to by my old job and decided to go back and as of today they backed out of rehiring me as well. Even though a lot has happened I actually am okay. After paying off my debt last year, I am still in an okay place financially and have ultimately decided to take a break. If anyone wants story times on being in sales (ooh the drama) or how tech sales interviews can be (the ghetto) I'm happy to share. Please don't let this discourage you from pursuing tech or sales if that's your desire.

Femininity + Minimalism

I am becoming a minimalist. - to me this doesn’t mean I own nothing, but instead I will only put energy into having things that truly matter to me.

I am paying off all of my debts - in order to no longer have to work as hard as the people who insist on keeping up with the jones’.

I don’t focus on fad diets - I focus on cooking, simple, natural foods and buying foods that bring me joy while I eat them and after I eat them.

I am about to basic AF- I am going to replenish my closet with basics and have things that always look good on ME, on MY BODY, and NOT just trendy outfits that everyone is wearing!

I am using minimalism as a tool for soft living - by not having to have all the material possessions I see that I like I can then focus on what I do. I love my freedom, I love being outside, I love nature, I love books, movies, I love to learn. By paying off my debt and focusing on only what I truly need I can spend more time on what I love.

I am working for MY goals - my goal isn’t to achieve the most for my company and outdo others, to have accolades of the hardest worker my goal/mission is to create a life for myself where I am thriving and surviving isn’t a concern.

Want to know more about how I’m using minimalism to cultivate my femininity?

My life is becoming...

Going to brunch with friends

Solo picnics in the park

Pottery classes, candle making and little hobbies I enjoy

Weekend getaways

A consistent workout routine

Being consistent with skincare

Drinking 80+ oz of water a day

Going to bed early

My new 6 Non-Negotiables

I get massages at least once a month- I can afford this because I go to a school for my massages and therefore it’s less expensive (check out schools for things like this and be sure to thorough vet them). I also use schools for my nails too.

I take myself on adventures - I can’t afford to go out to luxurious vacations right now, but I have my own little local adventures. I just went strawberry picking and I plan on going to join a local farm and learn some about gardening. I also plan on doing a weekend away to a tiny house.

I build relationships everywhere- when I first started my job I remember being friendly to a guy at my job and taking time to always ask how he was doing. I later needed my schedule changed because my load was becoming too heavy. I asked my supervisor and they told me to go to, you guess it, the guy I was friendly too. When I was introducing myself I didn’t realize at the time that he was my manager. I have heard so many people complain and say they want their schedule changed and they couldn’t get it changed. He changed my schedule the same day I asked. Relationships matters, of course you don’t have to be friendly to everyone, but something as simple as me being genuinely nice helped me later on.

I no longer suffer in silence - When I need help whether it was my work schedule or financial I no longer suffer in silence. I ask for the help that I want and need because I no longer wear being strong as a badge of honor.

I rest - I refuse to work myself into the ground with no scheduled relaxation or rest. I have done this in the past and have gotten so burnt out. I still work very hard, but now I have also incorporated working smart as well.

Say goodbye to her...

It’s time to break the cycle, to end what we used to have together. I held on to you because you kept me safe, you helped me hide in the face of potential adversity, you kept small enough to keep anyone from seeing me to hurt me, but also to small to be hugged, be loved, and be nurtured. I don’t blame you because I allowed you to stay in my life and hold me hostage, I let you pour self-victimization into me, I let you influence me to be drawn to the negative, and have a fixed mindset. I don’t blame you. I blame us. We both played our part and now we must separate. Thank you for attempting to keep safe and thank you for allowing me to walk away gracefully and not trying to stop me. I loved you and in a screwed up way I know you loved me too. Goodbye old me it is time for a new chapter.

I was thinking about it... I DID IT!

So I did a thing. I FINALLY bought my luxury gym membership!!! Let me tell you this is so different from the smaller gyms, locally owned gyms, and the cheaper gyms! I love it here. My gym has a private tennis court, indoor/outdoor pool, countless fitness classes, physical therapy, chiropractors, rock climbing, weight training and my personal favorite (drum roll please) sauna! Did I mention that there is also a spa! A SPA! I love it so much! So this is an update on my non negotiable list.

Personal Investments for June

More Investments into startups - I am really interested in a startup I found so I will be purchasing shares.

ROTH IRA - I will be aiming to max this out this year.

Instacart Membership- I have too much to do so I will now be ordering my grocery. I got this on sale for 1 year all I pay is a tip and for grocery, no more paying delivery fees.

I will be buying a membership for cryotherapy/sauna.

I will be getting my first IV drip.

I am officially going to therapy because my insurance is now active.

I will be getting my hair done (it’s been looking dusty ngl)

I may be purchasing a gel nail kit or just going to a nice nail salon monthly I haven’t decided yet.

I will be investing in a documentary subscription. I like having things to talk about and I like being informed so I can’t wait for this!

I will be continuing my Instacart subscription service. No more grocery store for me lugging heavy things to the cart, to cart, up stairs, and to the respective places, now only in the house.

I am looking for a pilates class, I no longer want the bodybuilder look, I want a softer lean muscles look.

I will be keeping my monthly 80 minute massages and I will be going to invest in more image skincare and possibly electrolysis for stubborn facial hair.

I may be buying 2 subscription services for myself, but I haven’t decided just yet.

I am toying around with buying the luxury gym membership in my area because it has everything from nails, facials, pilates, etc. I just don’t want to leave my massage therapist :(

I’m going to update what I actually bought this time too
