Our Holiday Story

December 18, 2014

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine.

I’ve been super busy and before I knew it November had almost gotten away from me. I looked at the calendar and realized it was time to get myself in gear and get to work on our holiday cards. We usually send a physical card to a few family members for Christmas and New Years but I have some people who I like to share our story with virtually. That’s where Olay & Photobucket come in!

I was super excited to make our holiday cards this year and create our Photobucket Story because there are some festive holiday backgrounds in the story section, courtesy of Olay! Fun, right? We chatted a few weeks ago about my tips to get camera ready for your Holiday Cards with Olay, and I had all of the products to do it!

The Olay Regenerist line allowed me to switch up my skincare routine in just the right way and make sure I was looking and more importantly feeling my #BestBeautiful! I was definitely camera ready when it was time to take our photo that we’d use for our mail out cards as well as use for the main focus of our holiday story.

I am a fan of simplicity so I was thrilled when I started to create our story because it was so easy. I loaded up our main photo and three additional photos to highlight our year a bit. Once they’re uploaded you just go ahead and click story and this will take you to where you can pick out one of the festive backgrounds to compliment your holiday story.

You get a couple really cute backgrounds from Olay that are perfect for this holiday story! I had fun switching between them to see what everything looked like.

Not only was it SUPER easy to create but it was even easier to share with friends when I was done. I could email it, tweet it and share to FB right from the story. That made life so much easier because I could just include everyone. I ordered our physical cards and shared this story with all of our friends.

I love the way our holiday story came out and I was excited at the ease! Be sure to check out my tips on how to get camera ready with Olay and head on over to the Photobucket site to create your very own cards & stories!

Olay Regenerist is an important part of my get ready routine and helps me look and feel my best beautiful! Visit Olay.com for more information on their full line of products.

Instagram post 2192621539170211925_31480883 We’re hitting that time of year where every diet/program/tummy tea/magic pill is going to be shoved down your throat. Your social media feed will be full of it. It’ll be on billboards when you’re driving. You’ll start seeing ads for “Special Pricing for women for just $10/mth” because you know we only really care if women are fat. Must change the women. 🙄 Drink this for weight loss. Cut the carbs. Don’t eat that. Juice cleanse this detox tea that. ⠀

This is your reminder that your size does not define you. Your worth is not held in a number on a scale. The tag in those jeans? It means nothing. You can be healthy at ANY size. BMI is bullshit. Sugar is not a sin. Carbs are fine. Exercise is not a punishment. Food does not have a moral compass. That piece of cake does not equal failure. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
In years past I’ve felt pressured to have a weight loss related goal or resolution when entering the new year. Sometimes that feeling was crippling. And this year? IDGAF. Not one single fuck. This is me 🤷🏼‍♀️ If you have a weight loss goal, that’s cool. I’m just here to remind you that you don’t NEED one to be the best version of you. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
If you’re looking for non-weight related goals for the new year... here are mine: ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
• Get Stronger ⠀
• Take no shit ⠀
• Sleep more ⠀
• Travel my state ⠀
• Drink more water ⠀
• Try a yoga class ⠀
• Take the train to NYC ⠀
• Go to the beach more⠀
• Lift heavier⠀
• More date nights⠀
• Be still⠀
• Read more books ⠀
• Nurture connections⠀
• Make 2020 my bitch ⠀

The last few days I’ve been feeling off. Down? Maybe.. Anxious? Absolutely. Stressed? Yep. Work drained me. Jim got sick so our schedule is out of whack. I’ve felt like there’s not enough time in the day to do everything I think I should be doing. Deadlines. My cats knocked over a full glass of soda onto my just cleaned floor. I slept on the couch to try to stay away from Jims cold and woke up miserable. I thought all day it was a day earlier then it was. I hated my dinner. All tiny little things that trigger my anxiety when happening all at once. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Here’s a strange way my anxiety and depression presents. Whenever I even feel it starting to creep in a tiny bit I get SO ANGRY at myself. Like I’ve done something wrong even when I know I haven’t. I get angry at myself for not having a plan to turn it around. Full on rage that I can’t even figure out why it’s happening. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Usually when that happens I’ll force myself to figure it out. Plan it out. Make a list. But right now? Right now I’m choosing to just sit with myself. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
We all deal with the shit that comes with life. Big or small. Life is sometimes a bitch. And that’s fine. We get to do it all again tomorrow. Just a gentle reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to just stop and let your body rest. It’ll all be there in the morning. Give yourself permission to just be still if you must. ■ ⠀
