Woke up on this Monday morning feeling tired and blah. My body felt like it needed to loosen up. So I put together a quick but thorough stretch session with a touch of core before seeing my Monday clients. Hope you enjoy!

Here we go again with another #RLVrefresh! (J is just delighted might I add. 😂) This time it’s our basement bathroom. 🚽 It’s ughhh. 🤮
It was here when we bought the house and it wasn’t done well. The room isn’t straight, the shower doesn’t keep water in and the fixtures are not pretty. Ideally, I’d rip everything out and start over but it’s not a common spot in our house so I’d rather not spend a lot of money on it.
First up: floors. A coat of paint is an inexpensive way to change up the space. I’m using @rustoleumca Floor Coating. Based on my research it’s the best floor paint on the market and by far the simplest to use. It brightened the room so much and I’m loving the change so far. (Swipe to see the before.) I was inspired by @angelarosehome and @thebloomingnest to stencil but J wasn’t digging any of the designs I liked, so for now I’ll settle for a nice patterned rug. But I will win him over ....one day. ☺️
I’ve included a couple of design boards with my ideas too. Swipe to see and let me know your thoughts!
Have you painted a tile floor before?

Drop an emoji below if you are back at work this week. 🙋🏻♀️ I’m not back yet but I’m enjoying the slower pace while it still lasts. Is it weird I’m not excited to get back to ‘normal’? #nojudgementzone
If I’m being honest, quarantine magnified everything in me. I’m on a freaking roller coaster all the time! 🤦🏻♀️ At the beginning, I was struggling with staying home and feeling a lot of anxiety about the unknown. I was getting angry and frustrated with being stuck at home, whereas others lived their life like normal, and the numbers continued to climb.
The second wave was filled with coping behaviours (sometimes healthy, sometimes it involved a lot of stress cooking + cleaning!). I was an emotional mess at times, questioning everything and isolating myself from my family with wine, as needed.
And finally this third wave has felt..... complacent. I’ve stopped fighting it all. But now that places are reopening, I’m questioning, “is it safe to do this and that?” “Do I still remember how to socialize?” I think about my parents and brother constantly. Oh and also patience with the girls goes from 100 to 0, so there’s that.
Anyone else go through similar waves? Going through all these emotions is a little scary. WHO AM I? Why am I like this? If quarantine has taught me anything, it’s that I need to spend time working on myself. I feel therapy would be really good to work through all of this. It sucks to feel like crap.
It’s not Thursday but I’m throwing it back anyway to my makeshift home office during my short stint conducting TeleRehab with my clients.

Happy birthday Papi. 🥳
This photo made me laugh and reminded me of what a scaredy cat I was and still am. 😂
The story was, I was too scared to stand on the statue for a pic so my dad said he would hold me. I ended up crying, freaked out of my mind of falling and my mom snapped this. 😂
Miss you. 🌈 Today would’ve been his 67th birthday.

The quarantine has affected many of us, especially the kids at @bcchf. Physical distancing has impacted their ability to see friends and family, leaving them feeling more alone than ever.
This absolutely breaks my heart.
We all know mental wellness is just as important as physical wellness. And this is why donations are more crucial than ever. #JeanUp is an initiative to raise funds to support the wellbeing of the kids at @bcchf (remember their Jeans Day buttons?).
So let’s pull on our denim and snap a selfie. And if you can, donate to JeanUp.ca.
Thank you to @mavi for these jeans I’m wearing and for supporting this important cause.
