Finished The Secret this morning!! I watched the Finished The Secret this morning!!  I watched the documentary awhile ago but never read the book.  I know not everyone believes in Law of Attraction, but I really appreciate how uplifting the content is.  It also gives YOU the power. As someone who isn't religious this is what I've always believed. I have more control in my life than anything/anyone else.  The most important part is that it's more so about happiness and positive energy. When you feel like shit, everything else adds on to that. When you feel good, you keep feeling good.  I'll do a full review on my blog and YouTube soon 😌❤🙏  "You want to be high, happy, and in tune as much as possible."  #thesecret #loa #lawofattraction #rhondabyrne #read #book #readbooks #bookstagram #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #books
Now that my no spend year is over, I really want t Now that my no spend year is over, I really want to focus on shopping more sustainably.  Thrifting is where I prefer to start because even the production of {new} sustainable clothes is not as sustainable.  And I found a Poshmarker who sells the crops of my DREAMS 🥺  High neck, fitted sleeves, and cinched at the waist!!  She buys items used and customizes them herself. Search 'Project Papaya' on PM. This isn't an ad I promise lol  Shopping sustainably isn't always easy, but I'm going to do my best!  #sustainable #thrift #sustainableshopping #vegan #thriftshopping #poshmark
Thank GOODNESS my muscles maintain so well 🙌 Thank GOODNESS my muscles maintain so well 🙌  I've lost so much strength over the last year and I'm eager to get it back!  I was always active throughout the last couple months, but that consisted of mostly Sydney Cumming's workouts, long walks, and jogging.  There is nothing wrong with that, but I want to fall back in love with lifting.  2020 was great for me, but the hardest thing for me was not having my usual routine. However, I'm learning to adjust and will be getting back to it.  I'll be documenting my journey on YouTube and here on IG while I work on my strength, my health, and all my other habits!  #fitness #health #lift #vegan #veganweightlifting #girlswholift #ptulaactive #ptula #2021healthjourney #2021goals
