I look through my closet, and I have so many slip dresses. I love how easy it is to wear this type of dress. Also, the variety of ways you can play around with is a plus.

Today’s post, I am going to share with you four ways to wear a slip dress. I got this Finders Keepers Cristina midi slip dress last year and wore it to one of the shows during New York Fashion Week, (Look #4). 

I love the color and the satin fabric that gives this dress a little glam feel. You can wear this dress from casual wear to a date night.

 

Below are some similar dresses I found.

four ways to wear
A SLIP DRESS

“The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.” —Hubert de Givenchy

one:
A SOLO SLIP

The first look I called it a ‘Solo Slip’ as it is a basic and a classic look where you can slip into this dress and go. For a casual style, I pair this slip dress with my VANS suede slip-on sneakers.  

 

If you want to go for a classy look, wear your slip dress with strappy heels

two:
ONE SHOULDER CAMI TOP

Style number two, I turned the dress to a cami top with one shoulder. I also use the long length of the skirt to tie as a big bow on the side.

This look will be a super chic and cute look for a brunch date or hanging out with your girlfriends.

“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.” —Gianni Versace

three:
BANDEAU TOP:

You can turn your slip dress to a bandeau top. Here I am wearing it with a blazer for a business casual look. But if you don’t want to show your stomach, you could either button your blazer, wear a belt over the blazer, or adjust your top length to meet the waistline of your jeans. If you want it to be more fun, wear denim shorts with it will do.

four:
OVER A TOP

This fourth look I wore during Fall in New York. I paired it with my mock neck top. This look can be worn in any season as you can layer up or down as the weather goes. I am a cool, cute, casual wear lover, so I paired this slip dress with my Gucci sneakers for a cool vibe while adding some sweetness with a pink headband. 

 

“Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.” —Vivienne Westwood

Ten Midweek Self-Love Reminders

Ten Midweek Self-Love Reminders

Today, I am sharing with you some of my favorite midweek self-love reminders to help you go through your week mindfully and respectfully.

Read on and enjoy!

snack bar decor idea for your home

Either it’s good food, good books, good laughs, or good rest that can get you through a tough week, make sure you do them. Your life is too short to stress over things that you can’t control. But you have the power and control over yourself.

Some times I found myself wandering around in my head. Dreaming and wishing, I could do more things and do it all in one day. Other times, I wish for a day to have more than 24 hours without realizing that what if it magically happened, would I have more time to take care of myself, or still spend those extra hours to stress even more.

All that we can do now is to do our best and appreciate what we already have. I wanted to share with you some quotes I found that are great reminders to practice self-love and self-care.

Five Simple Keys to Measuring Your Personal Growth

Five Simple Keys to Measuring Your Personal Growth

Each of us has our own and unique personal growth process, and no one is growing faster than the other.

The primary keys I see in my personal growth are from dealing with unexpected changes and a few more keys. I will go through each key and share with you how I develop my growth from it.

Read on to learn more!

snack bar decor idea for your home

Before we get into today’s post, I want to mention that this post comes from my perspective and is not from a personal growth theory you can find from a textbook.

Each of us has our own and unique personal growth process, and no one is growing faster than the other. There should not be any comparison when it comes to personal growth at all. Our life is developing and involves different environments and circumstances, and we will expand our personal growth uniquely. Also, there is no age limit for personal growth as well. As the world is changing all the time, it can challenge you to awaken your growth.

The primary keys I see in my personal growth are from dealing with unexpected changes. Learning new lessons (from talking to other people, reading new books, or getting inspired by things around me), experiencing new situations, setting goals, and practicing self-acceptance are the most important ones.

I will go through each key and share with you how I develop my growth from it.

five keys to measuring your
PERSONAL GROWTH:

One:

dealing with unexpected changes

This is the most common situation that can take you to the next level of your personal growth. Because when you experience an unforeseen event, your emotions will be on a roller coaster ride, which might make you feel uncomfortable. You will need to try ways to deal with that particular situation. This leads to growth.

One of the unexpected changes that I have been dealing with lately was my income stream from being a content creator during COVID 19. Instead of stressing over it, I came up with new ideas to generate income and connected with my audience differently. Instead of promoting brands/ products, I shared more of my honest reviews. Coming up with a new series #InfluencerTipsTuesday to share knowledge about social media. I also have more time to finish up my clean skincare brand, From Plants Beauty.

You can see here that one unexpected change can affect you in so many ways, but you can overcome it and develop your personal growth in many areas of life.

snack-bar-decor-idea-allaboutgoodvibes.com-Mollie-Larsen-@curatedbymollie

Two:

learning new lessons 

 

Learning new lessons or skills is another measurable indicator when looking into personal growth. You can learn new things from talking to other people, reading new books, or getting inspired by things around you.

Learning is an important key to strive for the next level of your personal growth goal as it can direct you to better you in so many ways.

I tend to learn new things or adopt some new beliefs when I find good books that were recommended by someone I trusted. I also learn from people’s past experiences, and their stories, ups, and downs, before they became successful in their areas of expertise.

After learning new skills, I adapted to my personal liking and daily living environment. To ensure that I can implement what I learned to better my life in general.

Three:

setting goals

 

While setting goals might sound too simple, it does help you achieve and develop personal fulfillment growth. Repeatedly setting goals will get you on the right path of making things happen in life. Either it is a personal matter or a business-related matter, it is a healthy routine to have.

I found myself getting things done easier when setting goals. I also feel delighted when achieving the goals I have set. If you are trying to achieve or develop any areas of your personal growth, you should write down the steps it takes, or write down your goals as a guide and reminder.

My latest experience with goal settings that was fulling my personal growth was launching my brand, From Plants Beauty. For serval years, I put it aside before I finally had goals written down and plans in place. Without setting goals and writing down plans, I won’t have been able to make my business come true. Thanks to goal-setting, I was able to achieve launching my clean skincare brand and fulling one part of my personal growth.

Four:

experiencing new situations 

New situations mostly come with challenges. If you can accept, adapt, and overcome those challenges and obstacles, that right there is called personal growth.

I posted on my Instagram yesterday that when dealing with obstacles in life, you should remember that:⠀

1) every problem has a solution.⠀
2) there will always be sunshine after the storm.⠀
3) it won’t last forever.⠀
4) your life depends on you, so take care of yourself first.⠀
5) to not be afraid of asking for help.

One of my personal growth in experiencing new situations was when I had to travel to the US for the first time, being on a plane for the first time in my life and by myself. I had to learn a new culture, langue, and way of living even though it was only a short three months of summer working at Universal Studios in Florida. I cried a lot as I was homesick and wanted to go back to Thailand. In the end, I ended up staying a week longer than I thought, as I enjoyed working and loving the new adventure.

Those experiences then taught me so much. After the work and travel program ended, I strived for more success and was able to revisit the US as an MBA intern student for a year.

I wanted to achieve my English speaking skills, which I can proudly say I met that. Now, over a decade later, I am a US citizen and now living with my loving husband and two daughters.

Almost forget to mention that I am communicating with you through my blog in English! That’s a significant accomplishment for me.

Five:

practicing self-acceptance

One of the biggest problems we are all facing in any stage of life is accepting who we are as a person. We all tend to be harsh on ourselves, even when we have accomplished many things in life already.

If you don’t practice self-love or self-acceptance, we won’t be able to develop our personal growth as quickly as we would, as it is a great key to identify the areas that we need to improve.

My latest self-love practice was accepting my post-pregnancy body and striving to make it better and healthier on my own path. I was able to complete an eight-week workout program, where I worked out as planned every day for eight weeks.

As I mentioned earlier, to be able to grow within you, you have to accept who you are and be able to clearly identify the part of you that needs more attention and implement that along the way until you reach your growth.

One last note to take into consideration when measuring your growth is comparison. If you want to compare with someone (even you know it is not good to compare), you should only look at people who are in a lower position than you, not those who already have it all.

It is an excellent way to remind yourself that you are doing fantastic, and you should keep on going to become like someone you aspire to be.

What is a personal growth tip you would like to share?

I hope these five simple keys will help you measure your personal growth and guide you in the right direction. There are more ways to measure and grow; any other means you find helpful, I hope that you find the ones that will help you become fulfilled and accomplished in life during any stage you are in.

Mommy, Baby at Home Workouts with adidas

Mommy, Baby at Home Workouts with adidas

In today’s’ post, I am sharing a few tips to make your day more joyful with a set of Mommy, Baby at Home Workouts, you can do together while staying at home.

 

Read on to find out.

 

 

 

This post has been sponsored by adidas. All opinions are my own.

It’s been an interesting time we all are facing, and it definitely brings us all closer together than apart, I have to say. One thing I have heard so many parents complaining about is that they are now spending so much time with their kids, and they don’t know what activities they should be doing because they can’t get out of the house and take their kids places. I know that it is going to be quite challenging for some parents who are always at work. You might feel a little lost at first, but trust me in this, it will get better, and you will love spending even more time with your kids after everything is all back to normal, (or at least the new normal).   

Use this special time to learn and spend more time with your children because no one will take better care of your kids than you do. If you have no patience with them, who else will? And you know your children better than anyone else. Am I right?

 

To help you stay active and productive at home with your kids, in today’s’ post, I am sharing a few tips to make your day more joyful with a set of Mommy, Baby at Home Workouts, you can do together. 

Fun Workout Tips with Kids

Before we get into the workout, I have a few tips to keep your workout fun with the below tips.

 1. Don’t take it too seriously. 

 Whenever you are participating in any activities with your kiddos, including working out, don’t take it so seriously. Remember that your kids want to have fun, and you want to relax, being too serious would ruin both of your moods and will create stress instead of joy.

2. Have fun with it. 

Make your workout fun by having fun with it. When I work out with my kids, my only objective is to have fun with them. I don’t set goals for how many sets and poses I wanted to do. As long as I get my kids to participate, I am happy. 

3. Learn with your kids.

I always learn new things in every workout session I have with my kids. It’s either my kids being creative with new poses or we are googling new lessons together. As you don’t need to know everything, you don’t need to be afraid of not being a perfect parent by not knowing everything. Well, it is impossible to know everything, so learn something new each day with them, it’s fun! 

Now, let’s get into some easy at-home workouts you can start doing with your kids every day.

We started with a butterfly pose to stretch, then follow by Seated Mountain Pose, Lotus Pose, Warrior II Pose, Downward facing dog stretch, Cat-Cow Pose, Sitting hamstring stretch, then Partner Forward Fold at the end. Then my little one joins in, so I used her as a weight to do a few sets of Squats and Leg Lifts.

See the photos for how much fun we had!

Family Spring Lookbook| Picacho Peak State Park, AZ

Wildflowers are so beautiful that’s why we couldn’t miss the opportunity to visit Picacho Peak State Park this year. As Spring is here with perfect weather, we drove up one weekend to take our kids to see and learn about nature.

Keep on reading to see all the fun.

Spring is calling for wildflowers here in Arizona and I love that we live in the middle of nature and have a chance to enjoy all the beauty that nature offers every single day.

Around this time of year, we always see colorful wildflowers on the sidewalk as we drive to get our groceries.

Somedays we see a coyote crossing the road, and somedays we have a family of Javelina stop by our front door. These make dessert living life a lot more interesting and fun for our small family. 

Because we are surrounded by beautiful nature, our family loves to spend time outdoors. Alida and Aveena love playing with bugs and dirt. They love to observe things around them. As a parent, we love watching our kids play and explore too. Not only my husband and I can bond with our kids and nature all at once but it is also a great way to teach our daughters about things around them as well.

Now, I started to homeschool my oldest daughter, and our lastest lessons were about plants, bees, and flowers. My husband and I thought it would be a great idea and a more hand-on experience if we took our kids to see the wildflower field in person.   

We went on a road trip to Picacho Peak State Park located in Arizona. It’s about an hour away from our home. The girls were so excited to see the wildflowers blooming. We captured some of the special moments and shared them with you in the below video.

There are 3 types of wildflowers I am showing in this blog post, Mexican Gold Poppy, Coulter’s Lupine, and Brittlebush.

Mexican Gold Poppy

The Mexican Gold Poppy is an annual that blooms from mid-February through April and has a beautiful orange, four petal, cup-like flowers. The poppies only remain open during full sunlight.

Coulter’s Lupine

The Coulter’s Lupine is a member of a pea family and can identified by its palmated leaves. These divided leaves resemble fingers growing from the palm of the hand and move during the day to absorb maximum sunlight. The lupine’s multiple flowers rage in color from pale blue to violet.

Brittlebush

Brittlebush is a member of the sunflower family. The leaves are greenish-grey and grow to form rounded shrub. When in bloom, the leafless flower stems with their bright yellow flowers resemble a bouquet growing above the leaf area. Small mammals and birds, especially quail, dine on the seeds. produced by the brittlebush.

The rules here are not to pick flowers or damage plants but we forgot to tell our daughters so the oldest one got one of each flowers as she wanted to give to her grandma. And the little one picked two flowers because she couldn’t help it being a one year old. We told them after the incident and they promise not to do that again. 🙂
