I am SO grateful for all the amazing women I have in my life but most of all my sister @daliagarciaartist who has known me my ENTIRE life and has influenced me in every way!
On the International Women’s Day, I highlight & celebrate you sis. Without you, I wouldn’t be the strong woman I am today. You inspire me daily and I am so grateful to have had you by my side during some of the toughest times in my life.
I love being silly with you sis and definitely how we laugh so hard together. 😆 Thank you Dalia for being the best big sister anyone could ask for. Here’s to more adventures together!!! 😘

Who likes to do ab planks? 🙋🏼♀️
I like them because they work and I see results but up to that point, my best time had been 3 minutes. That’s why getting to 5 minutes was a big deal but I don’t know if it would have happened without getting encouraged and cheered on by my friends.
This is a great reminder as to why it’s so important to have good people in your life that want to see you succeed, and push & motivate you to the next level. These people should always pour love, kindness, support & life into your soul? And you should fully be able to trust them.
If those are the type of people you have around you, then awesome, keep & value them. If not, then you have to let them go. Your happiness & growth depends on it!!
Thank you @lucypgallardo @sarah12smiles & @kathy_molina19 for your encouragement! ❤️ U!

Day 3 of WSW was EPIC!! 💛
We planned to go for a hike, but it wasn’t until that day that we decided to do the Laguna Beach hike which started right behind my former house. I knew the trail well so I was very excited to share it with my sisters, but I had no idea that because of all the California rains that had been occurring, we were going to be met with so much mud. Not to mention, we didn’t know it was gonna rain that day, but that led to an awesome adventure. ⛰️🌧️
14 girls laughing it up and working as a team to get through the two hour hike. The views were spectacular and the camaraderie and bonding time was even better.
At the top of the mountain towards the end of the hike, one of the women @sarah12smiles , stopped us and had us reflect on what we had just experienced. She presented it in such a beautiful manner, reminding us that we were all going to the same destination and on the same path, but all having different experiences. That really made me reflect on life where we are all going to the same destination – heaven but all having different experiences.
What I loved about this adventure was how no one was complaining. We were all full of joy no matter the circumstance and helping each other through it when someone needed a hand (like poor @shelbydaniellephotography who had no traction on her shoes 😆).
When searching for the right people to share this life with, look for these qualities whether it’s your partner or tribe. Life is much easier when you have people around you that are full of support, love, patience, joy & kindness.
As we ended our day all dolled up and breaking bread together, we reflected on our 3 days together and how we were forever changed by it. This is what life is all about. Surrounding yourself with amazing humans and sharing this crazy ride together.
I love you sisters! I am grateful for you and forever changed by you! Thx for 3 amazing days!! 💛🥰
(Day 1 & 2 available on my grid 😉)

Day 2 of WSW (Women Supporting Women) Retreat, we decided to visit @glenivy_spa and pamper ourselves.
12 out of the 14 women on this retreat are mothers and and business women who definitely do not put themselves first enough, so this was a must. For the two of us that aren’t mothers, we definitely hustle enough to also need a day to recharge. 😉🧘
As women, I don’t feel we do this enough. We don’t realize that if we would just take time for ourselves, our families and friends would be better for it. And recharging with a great group of friends is especially gratifying.
So to say we soaked up this experience is an understatement. From the cold/ hot plunge pools, to the sauna and steam room, to the mineral baths, to water aerobics, to playing & baking in the mud, this was a day full of laughter, great conversation, bonding time, healing and most of all rejuvenation!!
My favorite part? Definitely playing in the mud!! 😜
Any women out there agree that this is a must?? Share with us below. 👇🏼
…rest of journey to be continued…
(And if you missed the recap of Day 1, make sure to go back to my grid to view 😉)

Picture this:
Women’s Retreat
14 Women
4 Days
California
NO DRAMA! 😜
This past weekend, this group just proved it’s possible!! And not only is it possible, but we created such a loving space that everyone felt safe to be vulnerable and grow their connections.
Let me back up a bit and tell you who we are.
We are:
WSW Class 001! 🙌🏼
(Women Supporting Women)
It’s a group I have been a part of since its conception when I first met most of these beautiful ladies at a couples retreat a few years ago. We instantly bonded and knew we wanted to form a group where we could collaborate and support each other in our jobs, families, & life.
Because we live in different parts of the country, we started meeting bi-weekly via zoom calls. But this year, we decided it was time to come together for an in-person women’s retreat weekend!
And what a weekend it was!! Full of curiosity, adventure, kindness, vulnerability, bonding, love, team work, and oh the belly laughs! 🤣
So, for the next few days, I will be sharing our daily bonding experiences because frankly, they’re too beautiful not to share.
My hope is that you will see the importance of community. No matter whether it’s a men’s group or women’s group, being with one another is vital for growth and life enrichment. I know for sure my life has been enriched because of these connections and experiences
Day 1 consisted of:
💫 Getting out of the zoom boxes & being with each other in the flesh
💫 Shopping together for our weekend needs
💫 Bonding while cooking dinner
💫 Getting to know each other more as we talked for hours into the night…
….more to be continued on Day 2…

Been waiting four years to say… HAPPY LEAP YEAR!! 🎉
What am I going to do with this extra day??? I’m going to spend it with 13 other amazing ladies at a women’s retreat where we support each other in our faith, family, fitness & dreams! Grateful to have a tribe where we empower each other. Best of all is the ability we each have to be ourselves and allow our spirit to soar past fear, judgment, obstacles, limiting beliefs; and instead level each other UP!! ⬆️
What are you going to do with this extra day??? 🤸

Good Morning!!!! ☀️
Here’s a reminder to live your life on purpose and with joy this week!! 🎉
Life’s too short to be so serious all the time. Plus, studies show laughter releases endorphins, known as ‘feel-good hormones’. It increases the oxygen-rich air you take in and reduces stress hormones, bringing down your heart rate and blood pressure, and causing your muscles to relax.
So you see, fun isn’t a luxury, it’s a medical necessity!! 😉🤪
Happy Monday!!😁💚

Always a happy Sunday when I get to serve on the worship team and glorify God. 🙌🏼
Being in community has been a game changer for me and it can be for you too. Find a way to serve with your talents whether it’s on the worship team, being a greeter, or the many positions there are to choose from. Serving brings a lot of joy and fulfillment. 😊
** If you want to join us today, we will be going live worldwide at 11am ET on EastLakeonline.com **
Stay prayed up. 🙏🏼
Prepare yourselves for this MONDAY!!! 🎉
It’s my 1st Virtual signing of 2024 and I’m releasing things from my vault that I have held on to for years!!!

How long are we going to keep ourselves captive by other people’s judgment?
How long are we going to “play the game” instead of taking back control?
For far too long we have played the stupid game of lying about our age for fear of not being accepted.
But what that has cost us is shame, anxiety, and insecurity instead of celebrating the gift of life with every passing year!
Bottom line, we are not guaranteed our next birthday. And for many of us, if we passed away tomorrow, the first thing out of everyone’s mouth would be “wow, they were so young!”
SO YOUNG! Listen to that! Stop calling yourself old! Stop being ashamed of the precious years you are being gifted. Stop living in the lie. And stop playing the game!
Instead:
👉🏼 Focus on the amazing wisdom and learnings you have acquired with every passing year.
👉🏼 Focus on the amazing experiences you have collected.
👉🏼 Focus on the great friendships you have formed.
👉🏼 Focus on taking care of your body and mind so that you can feel young.
👉🏼 And stop judging others and yourself for the years you have been gifted on earth.
If someone doesn’t accept you for how long you have been on earth, that’s their problem NOT YOURS!
My hope is that this message sets anyone free who has been dreading their birthdays!! Lives too short!
Instead it’s time to celebrate who you are and where you are in life!
Instead, remember:
“ If you would be considered young dead, you are more than YOUNG alive!” 🎉

When I look at this photo on the red carpet, I can’t help but think of my younger self who at the age of 8 when I came back to the US after living in Madrid, Spain and wore dresses to school instead of jeans, was instantly made fun of and picked on. My self esteem instantly got shattered. And in that moment I wanted nothing more than to be accepted.
Throughout the years, that led me to trying to force myself into groups that to be honest with you, were not even healthy for me. That longing to belong brought a lot of sadness and anxiety into my life.
Fast forward to now where I am very comfortable in my own skin and have genuine healthy relationships in my life, I can’t help but be grateful for what got me here.
Any of you have self doubt?
Low self esteem?
Need to feel accepted?
Want to belong?
Here’s what I did to be able to get my glow back:
Therapy
Self development courses
Mentors
Coaches
Community
…and above all a relationship with God!
We’re not supposed to do this alone y’all! Lean on others, lean on God. Work through your traumas and learn how NOT to need other people’s validation to make you whole.
Now when I am on red carpets, it feels good to be healed. It feels good to be on them just for the fun of the event and not to be validated by photographers or viewers.
Life is much sweeter this way. Hope this post has blessed you in some way and reminded you that YOU ARE SPECIAL!! You just need to step into your true self and stop trying to be who you think you are supposed to be. There’s only one of you!! Isn’t that great news?! 😊🙏🏼

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been obsessed with animals especially dogs. I completely melt in their presence. 😊
A little over 10 years ago I was struggling with the decision of getting another dog because of my schedule. Then one day it hit me. Everything told me to go to the shelter the next day and look for a dog. That’s when I found Colby. He was all alone sitting underneath a tent, and as soon as they put us in a room together, we bonded instantly!!
To say this little animal has brought me joy, is an understatement!! He’s my protector, my buddy, my son. 😁
So this post goes out to Colby and all the animals out there that provide so much joy and companionship to their owners.
If you’re on the fence as to whether to rescue an animal or not, DO IT! It’s an indescribable love that will enrich your life!! 🤗🐶💛

Statistics say we break about 80% of the promises we make to ourselves. That’s staggering and yet totally believable. In fact, in certain situations it’s 100%. 🫣
I was in that statistic and still not 100% with every promise I make myself but something that has helped me tremendously reduce that statistic is that I now make the promise to the little girl inside of me, and some reason, doing that holds me accountable to her.
Try it for yourself and let me know if that helps you!! 💕

Happy Valentines to all you lovebirds out there. Enjoy and appreciate each others company! ❤️
Now, for all the SINGLE people!! Happy Valentines as well!!! Don’t you dare be sad today. The fact that WE are single just means we haven’t met our right match yet and we’re NOT willing to settle. 😉
The operative words are YET & SETTLE.
YET – up until the present or a specified or implied time
SETTLE – reach an agreement about
By these definitions, it means our time is coming & we will reach an agreement WHEN it’s the RIGHT person. 🙌🏼
Don’t ever allow your loneliness to make you desperate and choose the wrong partner. THAT will only bring you more sadness. 😔
Instead:
💫 Use this opportunity to work on yourself and start loving who you are first
💫 Speak kindly to yourself all day, everyday (no critical talk)
💫 Heal your past traumas
💫 Be kind to everyone you come into contact with (shine your light)
💫 Make healthy choices (take care of your temple)
💫 Surround yourself with POSITIVE friends
💫 Get into community
💫 Start volunteering somewhere
💫 Take on a new hobby
💫 Learn to be able to joyfully live alone first…
I want to hear from you. 🫵🏼
Share below something that has helped you during the single season. 👇🏼
Know that I love you!! Have a blessed Valentine’s day! ❤️👱🏼♀️💋

are the building blocks of the skin. In addition, Hyaluronic Acid deeply moisturizes and
reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and feathering while Caffeine helps to reduce puffiness
