I get it, we’re all going through something, but

I get it, we’re all going through something, but you can’t avoid your feelings.

If you try to run away it will eventually catch up to you, one way or another.

Processing your feelings can be very difficult, and that’s exactly why people avoid it.

But avoiding your feelings will eventually make them fester within your soul. You begin to rot spiritually, and the darkness & heaviness weighs you down emotionally and physically.

Feeling your emotions and sitting with them, processing them can look differently for everyone. The important thing is to do the work.

Here are some ways you can express yourself.

1. Talk to someone, therapy is a great choice because you get an objective point of view from someone who is trained in talking to people.

2. Write how you feel down in a journal. Maybe you don’t want to talk about it, writing helps too.

3. Express your feelings, actually feel the emotions. Are you sad? You can cry about it. Are you mad? You can express your anger by feeling it and letting it out in creative ways such as screaming in a pillow (or in an appropriate place), a punching bag, running, singing an angry song, writing angry poetry, working out in general is my personal favorite (lifting weights is a great option).

There are so many creative ways to be constructive instead of destructive about your feelings. It doesn’t have to be so detrimental, but that requires a lot of effort that you decide to put in.

Hi friends! We wanted to share a very simple and affordable recipe that we grew up eating. This salad is very easy to make, the longest part of this recipe is cooking the beans and rice. This dish has protein (beans) carbs (rice and salad) and of course the fresh greens that give us so many benefits. See the link to this video in our bio!

1 tsp Vegan Worcestershire sauce
Dill pickles
Sour dough bread

Directions:

1. Mix the white onion and shredded carrots in a large mixing bowl.

2. Set the large bowl aside, and you will addd all the condiments and seasoning into a small mixing bowl. Add the miso paste, yellow mustard, vegan mayo, garlic salt, chicken-less seasoning, and Vegan Worcestershire sauce. Mix well with a whisk until everything is combined.

I found these awesome GF (gluten free) pizza crust

I found these awesome GF (gluten free) pizza crusts that are fun and easy to make custom pizzas, I figured I make something easy to make after a long busy day 😓

Making this pizza was super simple😌
I bought almost everything at my favorite store Trader Joe’s . This is all vegan friendly and best of all dairy free as I keep finding better alternatives it just gets better 👏🏽👏🏽 the possibilities are endless especially with a three cheese 🍕

Also this pizza took me back to nostalgia of pizza lunchables ❤️

All you need is:
1 Trader Joe’s pizza crust
Vegan cheese of your choice
Pizza sauce -Trader Joe’s
Portobello mushrooms sliced
Red onions sliced
Pickled jalapeño
Garlic salt-optional

Directions:
1. Thaw crust for 10 min. And follow preheat oven directions from box. Slice the veggies while you wait.
2. Add the toppings on the pizza and either use a cookie sheet or place it directly on the rack if you’re feeling brave. Then after 10-20 min remove pizza . I ate it with pepperoncini 😋

It turns out I’m allergic to fragrance & lanolin

It turns out I’m allergic to fragrance & lanolin. There were a variety of other irritants, but these two got the stamp of approval to be considered allergens.

It’s funny that I mentioned “natural options” because lots of companies use natural ingredients that have fragrance. I’m not going to lie, this made me a little sad because I like to smell like a flower 🌹 lol

Anyway, it turns out I use a ton of fragrance and everything has it from shampoo, conditioner, lotion, face wash, body wash, clothing detergent, deodorant, everything!!!!

I might just give up this city life and live in the woods 😂 that might be best for my nervous system anyway.

The point is, if you are getting reactions that you’ve never had before to things you’ve used many times. I feel you. Go to the doctor, get checked out. If it’s too expensive or you don’t have health insurance, it’s safe to use natural ingredients, without fragrance. In general, we humans use a lot of chemicals that are unnatural, take a break and get comfy in your bare skin, especially the ladies or those who identify as women.

Hi Everyone! Today we're taking about the importan

Hi Everyone! Today we're taking about the importance of friendships on our YouTube channel!

Here are the main points we discuss in this video:
1. Humans Need Connection
2. Empathy & Boundaries
3. Knowing Yourself

Humans are social beings, we require relationships to thrive. Loneliness will actually make your lifespan shorter, the journal article linked in our bio talks about this association.

Empathy and boundaries are necessary to keep yourself grounded in your truth. As human beings, we feel each other's feelings, and we also get tested when people push our boundaries. Having a strong sense of empathy and boundaries is an important life skill.

If you're interested in learning more about yourself, you should try taking the 16 personalities test (link in bio).
