Every Carnival I profess that I’m gonna take care of myself throughout and then the season happens and it’s never achieved. I got sick from the very first show that I had with Machel Montano and stayed sick all till now (I’m much better now but still recovering from a severe cough that just doesn’t seem to want to leave me). After doing my absolute best this season, I’ve been reflective and I’ve decided that I really never want to put myself through that again. I want to be my healthiest, my sexiest, my strongest that I’ve ever been so that a demanding season doesn’t completely take me out 😅 This week I’ll be resuming my self-love challenge and I’m gonna start with reactivating my gym membership and getting back to what really feels like me 💛 How have you guys been?

Speaking from experience, loving myself has been such a rollercoaster of a journey. However, it is so incredibly rewarding in the end and I’ve come to realize just how much it is entirely okay and a good thing to be SELFISH! I’m sure you guys have heard it before but I’ll say it again, YOU CANNOT POUR FROM AN EMPTY CUP. You need to give to yourself firstly and truthfully more than anyone in your life (husbands, wives and kids included 🤣). So every month we as the HOTGYAL community will be doing our #ILoveMe challenge where each week you do one (JUST 1) thing that is solely for you and benefits only you. It can be big or small, it just needs to happen before the week is up! Check in under this post and let us know what you did for you each week! I’ll be taking the challenge as well because I refuse to neglect myself this year and this is a cute and fun little way to get into prioritizing myself! 💛✨
