Hey y'all!
I hope this New Year has been a good start despite the state of the world. I hope you are not hanging on to every word said on the news but also doing some deep work on yourself to ensure you get through these insane times.
I, myself, have been diligent. Please clap!
I have been intentionally making changes with my diet, behavior and emotions and I haven't felt this good in a long time. I have decided to cut out all the junk I love so much and focus more on Whole Foods. However, we as a household decided to cut out sodas and juices in favor of fruit infused teas. One that was inspired by a local tea spot here in town I made at home on the Winter Solstice of green tea and lots of fruit. I posted it on TikTok and it went viral, then on IG and it went viral there. So I started a series and it has bought a lot of attention to social media so I'm making it a series. If you guys are following me on those, you can try these recipes as well!
I finally have found a supplement combination that I LOVE. They actually work and I FEEL so much better. Better sleep, less aches and pains, less achy joints, less overall feeling terrible. Then I through working out and stretching back in the mix and that just made it even better. I alternate stretching one day and then a weight workout/cardio the next. And I think this is working. I did a pretty deep cleansing on my emotions surrounding eating better and working out and it's working. I finally look forward to my workout and especially the stretch. I just feel so much better. Before I didn't feel motivated to do the work and I hated that.
I wanted to start sharing these more on social media too but unfortunately I stabbed my hand pretty bad opening a package and needed 4 stitches. These stitches didn't slow my working out and stretching down. I still worked what I could and rode the bike the best I could. I'm determined not to fall completely off. Even if I do a little bit, it's better than nothing. My hand is healing. But still very painful. I will share some of my stretches on TT and IG when my hand heals fully.
In fact, I decided to move the Atlanta tour stop that was scheduled for this weekend to March, because of the injury. I'm too limited to travel alone right now. I can't come in February cause I have another event. This one I'm hosting along with Waverly of Waverly McSwain Beauty!
This event will be so much fun! Permanent jewelry and Vision Board Bingo, light foods and mocktails inspired by the fruit teas I make on TikTok (@tanusandbeyond)! And you guys will get to pick out your own Powder Bowl and we will be making some all natural dusting powder with some of the sexiest, freshest scents I have! Here is the link to reserve your spot. Seats are limited because we want this to be small, comfortable and intimate.

This is an event for the girlies so leave ya mans at home! Come have a night of femininity and community!
Anyway, Julian and Jia are....meh. They have a bit of a dark night right now. And I'm letting them without trying to save them. I'm proud of me. Old me would jump all in and trying to help or get them to see it the way I see it. Nope. Not this time. I'm letting them figure it out on their own. And they will. I have faith in them. If they NEED my help, I'm here. Otherwise, grow little babies!
I hope you guys are taking care of yourselves, working on your wounds, feeling the emotions, receiving the healing and seeing a different way out of your darkness. Right now is the time to practice doing it! Happy New Moon!
xo, Ashley
