Throughout the years, and well, a few mental breakdowns and therapy sessions later, I have learned that we must strive to keep a balanced busy life. What exactly does that mean? Balanced busy life? It means that productivity and success in your life should also reflect the different ways you take care of yourself mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically. It means you don’t neglect yourself of the self-care we all need.
Then the thought popped in my head...ASMR. Is there hair brushing ASMR? A simple search on Google revealed that, YES, there is hair brushing videos all over the web and on YouTube. I decided to listen to the first one that came up on my search. It has 8.4 Million views to date, so it couldn't be that bad? Right?
Life will not always go your way. Isabel tells us her story through her struggle to reaching her dreams and realizing that life is not always planned.
I’ll visit makeup websites and load up my carts shopping spree style... just to abandon it. You might be thinking, “Serina, why??” Now, I’ll admit it’s a huge waste of time, but let’s be real… ya girl cannot afford it. Through the years, I’ve become accustomed to being broke, because #college. So mostly everything I use is incredibly affordable, but just because I can’t afford the luxury products my heart desires doesn’t mean I settle for mediocracy. With that said, I’d love to share my top 5 holy grail products.
Traveling gives you a different perspective on life. You understand that you are just a little person in this massive world. I know that most of us understand this concept by middle school, but when you travel you get to actually FEEL it and SEE it. There are 7.6 billion people in the world and they are all experiencing a different reality than yours. Depending on the country you visit, you will see people having a different style of living. What I consider extreme living conditions, such as lack of running water, are normal living conditions to others. Your problems don’t seem as bad when you get to see other people’s reality.
Ok chicas, depression is an ugly word so many of us run from. My biggest question is why do we hide from it? For me, maybe because I’m not “supposed” to be depressed. I’m first generation Mexican-American, went to college, got two degrees, have the great “American Dream” job, I work in TV, I have a great husband, two dogs, you know, the list goes on, but some days, that little word creeps up. Sometimes, I actually think I’m not enough. I feel broken because I see other women appear they have life more together. Other days I feel I’m not doing enough to give back to my community. Sometimes it’s just I ate the damn chips and queso with the margarita…. It’s called imposter syndrome. AKA it’s not true!

Confidence can be found in your every day by changing your daily routine. Working out is what started my path to gaining confidence. Of course, with working out I had to start taking better care of myself and my body overall. I decided to start adding Summer’s Eve® Blissful Escape™ Cleansing Cloths to my daily routine.
