I gave myself permission to just have a fantastic weekend, no guilt, just fun!

No filters. No fixing. No “I’ll wait until…” Just you, today. This morning I popped on a new tee I grabbed from Target — $15 bargain 🙌 (Lily Loves if you’re curious). It’s soft. Slightly oversized. One of those “I didn’t know I needed this” finds. And the best part? The second I put it on, I felt good. Comfortable. Like myself. Not dressed up. Not trying. Just… settled. That’s the kind of energy we’re sharing here. 📸 Your turn: Snap a photo of you today — work you, cosy you, messy bun you, post-shower you, school-run you, couch-with-tea you. Upload it in 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗲-𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 | 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝘀 𝗠𝗲 and then take a moment to leave a kind comment on at least one other sister’s photo. We’re practising seeing ourselves — and each other — with softer eyes. I’ll drop mine below 💛

Hey Gorgeous Souls, Due to popular request, I have moved the Journal Basics out of the Lounge Library and into a stand-alone module in the Classroom. ✨ 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. This beginner-friendly guide walks you through simple steps, easy prompts, and different journaling styles so you can find what works for you. No pressure. No “right way.” Just practical tools to help you begin — gently, confidently, and in your own voice. 🖊️🌿 Click here to get started @Janelle Ulacco
