Hippie.

Negative energy is toxic. Mentally, physically, spiritually, and most importantly emotionally. Lately I have been taking more aggressive measures in removing, replacing, and protecting myself from it. Including but not limited to stepping back from non advantageous relationships that have the potential to be energetically draining. Filtering out the negative in turn invites and allows the flow of the positive. Aside from watching the company you keep, be aware of what you invest your energy and emotions into. Instead of letting trivial things escalade into serious issues, attack the iceberg one small chip at a time, as an artist carving a sculpture out of a huge block of material. Sometimes we as people allow things we have no control over to overwhelm us. Do what you can, and let the rest go. Continue reading “Hippie.”

If you get, give

If you get, give. Super thankful to be able to bring tons of clothes to the shelter this morning. I’ve brought lots of my own things in the past, but obviously I don’t wear men’s clothing, and it sucks to see people get left out, so this time everything pictured I was able to collect just off word of mouth and ASKING people if they had any throw aways. Sometimes that’s all it takes-asking or mentioning. Continue reading “If you get, give”

Building Curves

Living proof of the misconception most women have about lifting weights and incorporating strength training into their routines. There’s absolutely nothing masculine about my physique–and I lift HEAVY. In fact, lifting weights has CREATED curves in my case. Thank goodness I no longer look like a stick figure!! So for all you cardio queens that steer away from the weights because you think you’re going to bulk up, nothing happens over night!! It is pretty challenging to build muscle, and it most definitely takes time. The beautiful thing about it is that you can adjust your workouts based on your results…pretty great for the inner control freak in all of us.

Jazzy Precious Paws

Anyone that really knows me knows that my dog, Honey, is virtually the love of my life. And anyone that knows me also knows that I’m a sucker for a woman about her business. As cliche as it sounds, Andrea is ridiculously beautiful inside and out. Great heart, sweeter than sweet and super easy on the eyes. On top of it she OWNS and RUNS a pet boutique and spa. So, of course I had to bring my Honey Bear there to support her business and I was thoroughly impressed. Located in a prime location in Midtown Atlanta, she has her own pet spray collection, offers an array of pet spa services and also sells clothing and accessories. I am more than proud of her. I absolutely love to see someone follow their passions and not only follow them, but to see them through. Very inspirational.

Breathe Again

Thought this was pretty cool. I wasn’t able to come out, but this was shown at the Houston Rockets game last night for fan appreciation night. Glad to be able to be apart of and bring awareness to the Breathe Again Campaign.

Breathe Again is a grassroots movement that bridges the gap between races and people. It is our responsibility to start a conversation about the divide that falls along racial lines.

Leg & Glute Inspo

Leg & Glute exercises you may not be doing !! 🙂

1. Cling & Romanian Deadlift Combo
These are exhaustingly amazing. Technically they’re two different work outs but are effortlessly combined as shown. Eh, I take back effortlessly. Being that this is a compound movement, your whole body will reap the benefits. I did say exhausting right? But the good kind. Form is most important so I definitely suggest taking baby steps if you’re unfamiliar with the motion. Gotta start somewhere right? Start with the bar and work your way up to a comfortable, yet challenging weight. Plant those feet and focus that weight in your heels, maintain a flat/straight back and always keep your chest up. In life, but especially when performing this exercise to avoid injury. Safety first.

Fitness FAQ

My Top 5 FA(Fitness)Q

1. What do you like about working out?

A: I didn’t always. I reluctantly started for aesthetic purposes. Mainly because I wanted a bigger butt. (Haha) but after consistently putting in the work, and seeing the results, I got hooked. What I love most about fitness is the transformational opportunities we are ALL capable of. Mentally and physically. It has taught me discipline, and patience. It’s also a damn good stress reliever if you ask me.

Visiting Hiroshima

Hello there!! Keisy Myumi checking in. I recently visited Japan for two weeks to visit my family. When Sarah and Mary asked me to be a contributor to TCD, I was beyond excited to share my memories from my trip. It took me a while to muster up the courage to share this sentimental yet pivotal part of my experience. There were two legs on my journey. The first stop was to Continue reading “Visiting Hiroshima”

Cloud Dwellers

I had the opportunity to share my experience visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum as a contributing writer for a pretty cool travel blog. Geared more towards young travelers or just young at heart hipsters that crave a little culture in their life. Sure I could’ve chosen to write about a cool shopping district or about that one night I danced my heart out till 5 am, but I decided to share something more meaningful and personally sentimental. Defiantly one of the highlights of my trip to Japan.
