When you’re feeling all the feels. Who’s been

When you’re feeling all the feels. Who’s been going through it since this quarantine happened? Some of us have had to celebrate birthdays alone, have virtual baby showers, change birth plans, postpone weddings and halt other important activities. .
We’ve been forced to stop our normal way of living and revaluate everything and that can bring up some serious sh*t. .
It’s ok to not do anything. To take this time to process, readjust, heal and simply be. 🌺
.
Let’s check in. How are you doing?

Have you ever been so tired that you’re beyond t

Have you ever been so tired that you’re beyond tired? That’s been me for the last 3 months. I’ve been trying to balance being a mother, while not losing myself which has been so difficult. Whatever I do, I do it to the fullest and that includes motherhood. I’ve quickly realized that it’s easy to wear myself thin, hindering my energy and happiness and if momma isn’t happy, no one is happy. It’s impossible to fill my family’s cup if mine is empty. I’ve had to make some adjustments to show myself some love. Sometimes that means I pick 1-2 things per day that I’ll do. I might paint my nails, take a nap, listen to a pod cast, put makeup on or meditate while I’m feeding the baby or applying moisturizer. 🌸
Today I took about 10 minutes while I was pumping to apply an eye mask, apply a facial oil I made and use a jade roller. By using a jade roller I’m stimulating the circulation on my face (hello anti aging) leaving the muscles more relaxed, brightening complexion, tightening pores, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, and allowing skincare products to penetrate more deeply. Jade is associated with wealth and love so by taking a few moments I’m connecting with my skin. 🌺
While using the jade roller, I’m rolling back and forth, up and down and side to side, making sure to work around the facial contours and adding a little more pressure with the upwards motions. 🌸
Early on on my pregnancy I made a facial/body oil that’s made from natural ingredients. Would you like the recipe of the oil I used?

Dream
Wish
Believe .
It’s incredible the things that can change in a year. Exactly one year ago I started working on Disney’s Fairytale Weddings. It was a pivotal point in my career, with months filled with travel and so much joy. As I approached the end of that first day I received a phone call from the doctors office, the news didn’t seem good. I was shocked and my faith was shaken. A few days later it was Mother’s Day. I remember going on social media and feeling a sense of sadness because I didn’t know when or if I would be a mother a part of me even feared that perhaps I didn’t deserve to be one. That day something in me changed. It broken me open so that I could then open up my heart to new possibilities. It was a turning point where I began to learn the difficult task of surrendering, something that I encountered on my conception journey, pregnancy, labor and now in motherhood. .
.

Happy Mother’s Day to those who yearn to be a mother but are struggling in silence. Happy Mother’s Day to those who have suffered loss. To those who have had to nurture and remother themselves. Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who doubt their capabilities as a mother. Motherhood can be overwhelming. You’ve got this. .
I never imagined that a year later I would be spending this day as a mother myself. .
I dreamed. I wished. I believed. .

Today marks a decade since I moved to LA, the long

Today marks a decade since I moved to LA, the longest place I’ve lived since leaving NYC. I remember how nervous I was moving; I was leaving a career at a salon and venturing into the unknown. Shortly after moving, the relationship I was in disolved, the guy I was dating at the time suggested that I move away since he was still living here. He warned me that it would be difficult to make it especially alone. I won’t lie, I briefly thought leaving but decided against it. I wanted to prove him wrong, as well as prove to myself that I could do it. I’m a survivor and it wasn’t the first (or last) that I faced a challenge. I’m so glad I stayed. This is where I’ve been able to build my community, grew my career to unimaginable lengths, found myself and my life partner and became a mother.
Here some pictures from the last 10 years. •2 is the first picture I took of the beach, •3 is the first restaurant I worked at (where I eventually met my husband),•4 is my first job on set, •5 is the time I met Vidal Sasson, •6 a show I worked on produced by @theellenshow , •7 a styled elopement, •8 @simeondjewelry first wedding anniversary, •9 a day trip to Ojai when I was 4 months pregnant, •10 the day Baby V was born 🥰

For anyone who’s ever told you that you’ll fail or that you’ll never make it, know that you have the strength to achieve it all. .

The evolution of me trying to take a selfie with V

The evolution of me trying to take a selfie with Vivi, she’s just as fussy as her older sister Gigi 🐶 today was one of the rare days where I actually put makeup on and it’s probably because I was feeling refreshed (Vivi slept 12 hours last night for the first time). I’ve been pretty silent on Instagram trying to get adjusted with motherhood and the days seems to be passing by so quickly. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs with some breakdowns included. I’ve doubted my abilities, cried along with my daughter and reached for the community around me for help. As a perfectionist I’m having to let go of a lot preconceived ideas and just surrender. I’m learning to love this new version of myself and all of my messy bits. I’m a firm believer that life hands us exactly what we need to work on. So if you’re a new mom or a mom to be give yourself some grace, you’ll make mistakes, feel inadequate and will feel overwhelmed and that’s ok. You’ll also experience an immense amount of joy and love like no other. Perfection is an illusion, be patient and kind to yourself. Find some time to connect with your essence and must importantly love yourself throughout the process.

All dressed up and no where to go. My first holida

All dressed up and no where to go. My first holiday as a Mother Vivi’s first Easter. Although this isn’t the way I pictured spending our first holiday together it was perfect in every sense. It’s important to celebrate the small things, especially during this time. It’s difficult to remain positive and being in such small quarters with other people can be a challenge but I’m choosing to remain positive, if not for myself but for my daughter and the other people around me. Energy is contagious and during these dark moments I choose hope. 🐰
How did you spend your Easter?

Mother hood. It’s messy not just physically but

Mother hood. It’s messy not just physically but emotionally. I’ve spent much of the last seven weeks acquiring new skills. I’ve skillfully mastered changing diapers in the dark while dodging flying poop, I’ve cleaned up baby throw up off of myself more times then I care to remember (once while writing this) and find myself swaying back and forth even when the baby isn’t in my arms. I’ve cried while painfully struggling to nurse, dreaded the seemingly long nights and have experienced the joy of seeing and hearing my little one laugh for the first time. I find myself often looking back at photos of her short life wondering how time is going by so quickly. I spend my days giving her endless kisses hoping that she’ll never get tired of them and that she’ll know how much she’s loved.
💕
If there’s one thing I would tell my premom self is to be easier to myself, that it’s ok if my journey looks differently then someone else's. It doesn’t make me a failure or makes me less of a better person or mom. 💕
If there’s one bit of advice you wish you could tell your past self what would that be? .
