I gave in and bought an essential oil diffuser
Think about it as a small element of your self-care practice or a quick pass for your favorite spa.

Why sometimes traveling to the same spot is what we need
Growing up I always felt the urge of traveling and experiencing new things. I always knew there would be a point in my life in which I would check off bucket list places. But as I get older, this has somewhat changed. I say ‘somewhat’ because I still enjoy traveling and discovering new places but I love revisiting old ones.

Benefits of unlearning not to speak to strangers
How often did we hear don’t speak to strangers growing up? I would say very often! There is definitely some value to this statement, but as I grow older the more I catch myself trying to get out of that mindset. Speaking to strangers is actually amazing! It’s an opportunity to consider new perspectives and even add value to our life.

Surround Yourself with Like-Minded People

How Exercising Empowers Me

Benefits of Road-Tripping with Toyota Corolla
We can’t run at 110% all the time, unfortunately. There are moments when we give too much to the world that we crash. Therefore, we need to take notice of when we need a much-needed breather. Being abroad for work is one my favorite things to do. I get to experience new things, mingle with locals and create awesome content. But, it doesn’t mean I get to unwind and relax. That’s where a quick road trip comes in handy.

I hope your International Women’s Day was filled with joy and empowerment. I spent part of my day interviewing a very inspiring lady. She is a TV host at HSN and entrepreneur, Colleen Lopez.

If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It
Recently I got the opportunity to attend an event called American Dreams Academy hosted by HSN at The University of Tampa’s John P. Lowth Entrepreneurship Center.
