Life, Growth, and Connection: What You May Have Missed
Hey, loves! Can you believe how fast time is flying? As I sit here reflecting, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement, and I’m so glad to share it all with you. There’s been so much happening, so much change, and I feel like I’m constantly evolving along this journey. From watching my little one grow to diving deeper into entrepreneurship, to expanding my wellness content—life has been busy, and it’s a beautiful kind of busy. So let’s take a moment to catch up on what you may have missed, and what’s coming down the line!
Can you believe Alina is about to turn 4 in less than four weeks? Time is flying by, and I’m in awe of how much she’s grown. It feels like just yesterday she was a little baby, and now she’s a curious, independent little girl who’s full of personality. Her energy is contagious, and every day with her is a new adventure. As a mom, there’s a bittersweet feeling that comes with watching your child grow so quickly. But I’m soaking it all in—every laugh, every little milestone, and every hug because I know these moments are precious.
Watching her grow up is a constant reminder of how important it is to live in the present. Life moves so fast, and it’s easy to get caught up in everything else. But when I see Alina’s face light up with joy, I’m reminded of the beauty in small moments, and the importance of nurturing our little ones with love and care. So, yes, I’m trying to savor these last few weeks before my baby turns 4—how is this even possible?!

A Full-Time Wellness Content Creator
Speaking of time flying, it’s also been two years and eight months since I took the plunge into entrepreneurship. That’s right, two years and eight months of creating content, building a brand, and doing what I love. It’s hard to believe how much has changed since I first started. At the beginning of my journey, I never could have imagined how fulfilling this path would be, but it’s also been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life.
When I first started as a full-time wellness content creator, I had no idea how much it would change my life. But now, I can honestly say I’m living my dream. Being able to share wellness, mindfulness, and self-care tips with all of you while growing my business has been such a fulfilling experience. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. And the best part? I get to connect with women like YOU—who inspire me every single day.

Bali—A Life-Changing Experience with 10 Amazing Women:
One of the most exciting things I’ve been able to do recently is plan and prepare for the Bali retreat, which is just around the corner! This retreat is going to be an experience like no other, and I’m beyond thrilled to connect with 10 incredible women who are joining us on this journey. The diversity of ages and backgrounds is something I never could have imagined. From young professionals to women who’ve been around the block, it’s a beautiful mix of souls, each with their own story to tell.
I’ve been working tirelessly to make this retreat something special—something that nourishes not only the body but also the soul. And one of the things I’m most excited about is sharing a wisdom circle during the retreat. I believe that sharing our experiences with each other is so powerful. This wisdom circle is going to be a safe space for women to connect, reflect, and nourish our souls. I can’t wait to hear their stories and have the chance to offer support and guidance. These kinds of moments are the ones I hold closest to my heart. There’s so much strength in vulnerability, and I’m excited to witness the transformations that will unfold.

1. Mommy & Daughter Unconventional Spa Day.
Everyone enjoys a spa day. Whether it’s enjoying getting your nails done or if it’s having a beach day. Create an unconventional spa day with your little princess. If she is able to decide what that will mean for her, be sure to incorporate her idea, what is it that she likes to do? At her age, what would she consider caring for herself? Asking questions like these allows you not only learn and spend intimate time with her, but also allows for a fun journey learning what each of you consider to be self-care.
Age Modification
If your little one is below the age of 3, your Mommy & Daughter holiday self-care will look different. Creating an unconventional spa day could look like a cute simple way of introducing things you love to your little girl and simplifying it to their level of comfort while still being super luxe. For example, a nice of self-care could look like, creating a nicely lit room with low lit Christmas lighting, matching PJ’s, matched with your fave hot drink and their fave hot drink – their milk.
Don’t be afraid to get as creative as possible with minimal work, remember, this is a luxury day but also about self-care, it is not supposed to be an over extortion of time and effort.
2. Start a new hobby
What is that one thing you love doing that you wish you could find the time to start back up but with a partner?
Hobbies are a great way to disconnect from the world and reconnect with your self and what brings you happiness. Group and couple hobbies are so fun! Similar to creating your unconventional spa day, learning and understanding what your little one considers to be fun is a good way to build a bond on what you both love and enjoy.

This holiday, create a self care holiday hobby for you and your little one can enjoy together! This is a great time of year to create family traditions, get creative and start a tradition that your children can also bring to their children. One of the hobbies that we have started is building a ginger bread home that would remind Santa Clause of his home on Christmas Day. Every year our plan to make the Ginger Bread home bigger and better for both Alína and Santa.

3. Screen free day
sfd
The holidays can make us so busy as parents, it is so easy to give our child an iPad, phone, or put them in front of some sort of screen so we can get things done. But the holidays are not suppose to be about running around crazy, it’s our time to reflect and enjoy our family. As a lover of all things internet related, it can be hard to step away from a screen but it is definitely a necessity. I always want Alína to know and feel that I am pouring my time into her while also truly enjoying the holiday season! Apart of my self-care this year is too step away from my phone and minimize both myself and Alína’s screen time.
Our mommy daughter self-care will consist of time with our family across the pond. I plan to facilitate games for both Alína and my younger nephews and nieces to really make the holidays a time for bonding and reconnecting. Believe it or not, the best form of self care is the moments you spend smiling and laughing while feeling the bond and energy of the ones that you’re doing it with.
B less stressed this xmas
The holidays does not have to be a time for hustling and bustling, it can be a time of rest and rejuvenation if you plan for it to be that. It’s almost impossible to make every day a day of self-care, but taking out the time to bring self-care to your daughter from a young age can truly help them learn the beauty of taking time out to reset. Remember, luxury and self-care do not have to be expensive or extremely time-consuming. It can be as simple and cost-effective as these three steps. Go ahead and save this post or note it down and use it not only for xmas but as a part of your monthly schedule.
