So excited for this first post in the "Lifestyle" category. As you know, I'm a mom of 3 girls, so that time when I can go alone somewhere and recharge myself, is always like winning the lottery.
I'm a person that loves to be alone. Is difficult for me to make friends and socialize because of my Anxiety, and because, in the past, all people betrayed me and made me close myself for protection. I don't like beaches, I'm a forest person. I don't like the sun, I'm a rainy person. I discovered even before the Pandemic and quarantine that I love my loneliness. I love the peace of being with just your worries and don't have to add more stress on yourself because of the worries and stress of other people.
And no, I know it sounds kinda like I'm a b!tch, but I'm not. I'm just a person that feels so much and can't handle it. So I preferred being just me and my small family of 5. And before continue to share with you my perfect lunch, I want to tell you a little more about me so we can meet more.
I had a person. My special person. That person that knew everything about me, and I knew everything about her. But someone took her away for me. And she left a void in me. A void that just recently started healing.
I don't know the terms here in the USA, but in Mexico, we call Co-sister in law (and this is what Google said, I don't know the correct translation) the wife of a brother-in-law. She came from Indonesia a few years ago, and at the beginning, we weren't that close cause she lived in another city. But like 3 years ago or so, they moved to the city where I live, and we have been building this special connection.
We are moms. We know the struggles, and we have been supporting each other, hyping us up in the stuff we love and dreams. I'm having that person again. And feels so good!
Hi Febi!!
I will share more post by post, but for now, I think is time to start telling you about my day...
This week I started a new routine. I usually wake up around 6 so I can take my protein shale with collagen and get the girls ready for school, so even when is a weekday and spring break, I wake up early today, shower and make my shake.
I stopped using makeup a few months ago cause I don't go anywhere. At least not to somewhere where I feel like my face needs makeup. But today I decided to do my eyes only. I use brownish eye shadow and some eyeliner.
I'm not a makeup expert but I think I did a good job 🤣 well, besides the protein shake and collagen, I started taking some vitamins and some anxiety pills that I found on Amazon. And to be honest I think it's working. I feel more relaxed and good with myself. Once I was ready, hubby dropped me off at Febi's house so we could walk to Starbucks (cause is nearby). I love to walk in that neighborhood cause is full of trees with flowers and quiet.
It's weird when I try a different drink (Let me clarify that I only go to Starbucks less than 6 times per year) and this time I get my usual order.
MY ORDER:
✦ Strawberry Acai Refresher
✦ Heavy Cream
✦ 3 Scoop of Vanilla Powder
✦ Vanilla Cold Foam
I love this drink because reminds me of "Strawberries and Cream" from Mexico. Just when I find an interesting drink in Lemon8, is when I try something else. 3 weeks ago, when we had Girls Shopping Day I got the Pink Drink with the Matcha Cold Foam - it was delicious- We spent a whole hour in there talking and sharing thoughts.
The idea was to film and take pictures for our blogs and social media, but the tea was so good that was a miracle that I ended up with a few photos 🤣 because when our mouths start talking, we can't make them stop!
We even carry our Macbooks to try to work there and look cool 😎 but just like the video and photos... we didn't make it happen. But at least we look like blogger mom 😎
Next to the Starbucks, there is a Chinese place that we haven't tried, so we give it a try. I ordered some Kimchi - that I never had tried before - and some Beef and Broccoli with white rice. We talk more while we wait for the food and eat.
Even when was a short time, because my brother-in-law has to work and we need to go back soon, is always enjoyable. Sometimes we just make the reunion at my apartment so the kids can play and have fun while we work on our blog. Either, is refreshing to go out without the kids once in a while to recharge our brains and ideas.
this post was supposed to be live the same day, but I got lazy, and then I had a movie time with hubby after the girls went to bed, so here I am. Posting after midnight 🤣
I hope you have a wonderful day like the one I had. Do you have plans for Easter? Do you take some Mom/Girls Day to relax? Tell me in the comments.
Write me soon, till next time!
