5 Tips to Help You Check Off Things in Your Bucket List

5 Tips to Help You Check Off Things in Your Bucket List

Fashion, Lifestyle

In today’s post, I’m sharing with you 5 tips to help you achieve things in your bucket list. I  also share a few photos from my last trip when visiting LA where I checked off a few items in my bucket list as well.

 

Keep on reading and find out all my tips!

This year I have been focusing on self-reflection and achieving personal goals. Now that the year is approaching an end, I have to say that I accomplished several goals and was able to cross off many things on my bucket list. I was able to attend NYFW, visit the Hollywood Sign, go to Santa Monica Pier, had lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel, checked out Palm Springs, and went to Disneyland again with my daughters, husband, and my parents in law.

In this post, I’m sharing with you a few photos from my recent trip to the Hollywood sign. It feels so good to see the real one in person after seeing it in many movies before. Now I am glad I can check this one off my bucket list. 

I’m wearing the most comfortable jeans and boots from Everlane. The jacket I’m wearing I got it from Uniqlo in Tokyo last year, another bucket list trip I checked off. 

From a business aspect, I relaunched my blog and am now working on the launch of a few more businesses.

But the most significant achievement of all was giving birth to my little daughter earlier this year and becoming a mother of two.

When talking about a bucket list, it is a set of experiences or achievements that you hope to have or accomplish during your lifetime.

I’m sharing with you below on how you can quickly get started.

5 Tips to Acheiving A Bucket List

Tip #1:

Start from the easy and achievable ones

By starting from the easy and achievable ones this will help you accomplish your goals easier, and it will make you keep moving for a bigger goal.

Tip #2:

Stop all excuses

I used to come up with many excuses for traveling. I would say I wanted to wait until my babies were a little older before I started to travel again. But now, I enjoy traveling with them both nationwide and internationally. They are only babies once, and it’s so good to include them on all my journeys.

Tip #3:

Set aside specific savings for your bucket list goals

You can make a separate saving for each of your items, or you can set up a savings account for everything in your bucket list. 

Tip #4:

Make plans

It’s a perfect way to get started by writing your list down instead of having them in your head. You might forget or never take any action towards them. Write down your bucket list and print the pictures out and put them somewhere where you will see them all the time. It’s an excellent way to have your vision and determination all at once.  

Tip #5:

Eliminate your fears and just go for it!

You should try to forget about all the worries you have in mind because being fearful will never get you to where you want to be.

This post is sponsored by Kohl’s.

I never thought that I would miss going to school this much. I remembered I couldn’t wait for the school year to start so I could go chitchatting with my girlfriends. Even though I’m not in school anymore, I’m so happy to be able to put this back to school post together to share with you who are still in high school and college.

In this post today, I’m sharing 9 back to school outfit ideas with some tips on how you can style each of your clothing items together so that you can get the most out of your closet. My styling tips will help you start your day, your week or even your month a lot easier and without any headaches on deciding what to wear to school.

My pieces I’m wearing in this post are from my latest shopping trip at Kohl’s and they are from the SO clothing line which are available only at Kohl’s.

Keep on reading to find out my styling tips and to see what I got!

 

I

 am so happy that I have a chance to share my outfit styling cheat sheet with you today. It was so much fun putting this back to school post together for you guys as it made me realize how much I miss being in school. 

Besides all of the homework that would give me a lot of headaches, I still LOVE to go to school to talk, spend time with all my friends and of course study some new subjects. But before we get off track here, I want you to get ready and get some back to school shopping going.

Kohl’s has some amazing back to school deals going and it starts from 8/2-8/18. You will receive $10 off a $50 purchase!! So GOOD, right?  

I went there and got a few cute pieces from their SO clothing line that’s available at Kohl’s, to share how I styled them with you here.

At Kohl’s, they have everything from stylish denims and trendy tops to casual lounge pieces you can either dress up or lounge around in comfortably during this school year. I love that their prices and their deals are as good as their quality.

You just really need to stop by your nearest Kohl’s or shop online at https://www.kohls.com, so you are sure ready for your school.

I almost forgot to mention that you can even order online and pick up in-store. I really love this option as it allows you to save sometime looking through their variety of cool items. ?

Below are what I got from Kohl’s:

Junior’s SO® Distressed Mom Jeans |  Junior’s SO® Low Rise Ultimate Jeggings | Juniors’ SO® Mini Wrap Skirt | 

Juniors’ SO® 2-Pack  Perfect V-Neck Tee | Juniors’ SO® Button Down Front Shirt | Juniors’ SO® Boyfriend Tee 

Back to School Outfit Styling Tips

Now let’s get right to my outfit styling tips, shall we?

Step 1: Shop for new back to school clothes at Kohl’s. 🙂

Step 2: Bring all your clothes out, both new and old, then separate them into two piles. One pile for tops and another one is for bottoms.

Step 3: Count how many tops and bottoms you have and write down the name of each of them in a table like the one below.

Step 4: Pair your tops and bottoms together using the table you just created

Step 5: Enjoy all your new mix and match outfits and get ready for a fun school year!

Isn’t that super easy and convenient?

These are all the 9 outfits I styled from my 3 tops and 3 bottoms I got from Kohl’s. 

Outfit 1

Outfit 2

Outfit 3

Outfit 4

Outfit 5

Outfit 6

Outfit 7

Outfit 8

Outfit 9

Now you can have some fun dressing yourself up for school by using the style matching table I suggested above.

A few extra tips here that you might take into consideration when choosing what to wear are 1) You don’t want to mix two busy patterns together. 2) Matching two bright colors together can make a big scene at school. Just saying! ? and 3) After you mix and match your outfits using the styling table, you can eliminate a few styles that are in the #1 and #2 tips I just mentioned. 

I’m sure you will be able to get the most out of your closet and won’t need to worry about what to wear to school anymore.

 

Don’t forget to stop by at your local Kohl’s and start shopping for your back to school outfits soon. Their back to school deals start from 8/2-8/18 for $10 off a $50 purchase, and you don’t want to miss that!

5 Tips to Staying Positive with Insecurities After Baby

5 Tips to Staying Positive with Insecurities After Baby

Fashion, Lifestyle, Parenting, Self-Care

Taking care of baby is a lot of fun and hard work at the same time. But taking care of your body and mind after baby can some times feel even harder. In this post, I’m sharing with you 5 tips to staying positive and loving your postnatal body. It’s your ability to stay focused on your baby and yourself to make both of your lives and memories even more beautiful. 

Find out my stories and thoughts in this post.

 

Getting pregnant for the first time was hard. Losing belly fat from pregnancy  is even harder for me especially when I went under the knife for a C-section. There are certain concerns when working out on your abdominal.

I keep complaining to my husband about my pooch. I stressed out over it and end up feeding my stress with comfort food. It’s been almost three months and I have been putting more weight on instead of losing them.

At two months postpartum, we did this photoshoot. My husband spotted a side road area where wildflowers were growing. This spot was gorgeously beautiful with yellow flowers. So we thought why not make it the background of our photos?!

I wore this coral tie front mini dress, tan espadrille platform sandals and a crossbody bag. I have picked a few similar dresses for you below.

The color of my dress contrasted with the bright yellow flowers and the blue sky perfectly. We stopped there for about 10 mins to capture the beautiful nature.

When looking through the photos, all of them are beautiful except my belly that ruined them! I thought to myself, should I not use them on my blog. Should I photoshop my belly out, which I had no idea how to do it.  After a long talk with myself I came to realize that I can’t let a small imperfection stop me from sharing the nature’s beauty to you guys. I shouldn’t stop sharing what I love, creating content, with all of you. So here you go, the photos I picked from the session.

Because I was worry about how I would look, I forgot that I just gave birth to my baby. I almost feed my insecurity by avoiding it.

I think that if you can accept yourself and slowly work on your body and mind, there won’t be anything to stop you from success. If you want to look good, you have to work for it.

Knowing that there’s no success overnight but if you put your mind to it and start working towards it, you will for sure have success in your goals.

To help you deal with and eliminate your postnatal body issues, I shared below the 5 Tips to Staying Positive with Insecurities After Baby.

 

1. KNOW YOUR BODY

You should get to know your new body and mind before you start any workouts or diet plans. Either this is your body after your first, second, third or (put your own number here) baby, you need to get to know your new you. Your body is different every time.

I remembered my body and my mind after my first C-Section, they weren’t the same as this second time around. I felt more stressed out and worried about everything for my first one. My body and mind weren’t synchronized properly. I needed help from my husband when using the bathroom, taking a shower for so many weeks. I didn’t start working out until 6 months later. The recovery time was longer but the pain was less than this time. Weird! I think my mind just couldn’t handle the pain good enough.

With this second time around, I took a shower myself at the hospital at two days after my surgery. At about two week postnatal, I was already working on a campaign. I even climbed up on a ladder but only half way to the top, after realizing I shouldn’t risk falling off the roof only for a pretty picture. I just gave birth via a C-Section, I needed to give my body a break. Plus, having my husband put the ladder up backwards didn’t help either! Lol! 

If you know your body and mind, you will be in control in everything you do. Use this time to get to know your new self and start doing what makes your body and mind comfortable and happy.

2. NEVER COMPARE 

Comparing is harsh. I sometimes second compare myself with others. I know it’s Wrong! You should never want to compare yourself with anyone else with anything. Your life is your life. Their life is theirs. You know what I mean. Even though you might have friends who just gave birth at the same time, or at a closer time to yours, but you aren’t the same person. What works for them, might not work for you. Your mind might be stronger but maybe your body just couldn’t take it. No one is better than the other.

Respect and love your body by stop comparing with others.

Instead of comparing, you can look at them as your inspiration. Ask them for tips and stay connected for support and positive advice. Try to stay away from those who hurt your feelings.

Remember that you know what you’re doing and you are the only person that understands your needs, wants, body, soul and mind.

Seek for inspiring not comparing.  

 

3. BE PATIENT 

It’s good to keep in mind that it will be a long process, no such thing as a success overnight. It took 9 months to grow your tiny baby in you. If you can give yourself at least nine months to get back to your normal pre-baby self again that would be awesome.

Learn to be patient. Take it slow, one day at a time. Take your before photo and a few months later take another photo. At the end of your process, take your after photos to see how far you have come. You will be proud of yourself.

Just remember to be patient.

 

4. LOVE AND CARE 

Do it for you because you love and care for yourself. You have to make yourself happy and healthy first so you sure can take care of your baby and others.

Self care is a big thing these days. Take some time of your day or week to treat yourself with what you love. Either watching a movie, eating your favorite treats, cooking healthy meals, getting a facial, or just taking a nap. You have to feed your mind and body with what you love to stay balanced and happy.

Tell yourself how grateful and loved you are when you wake up and before bed. It’s a good reminder that you deserve everything you want and put your mind to. The strength will keep you going and help you stay on tract.

Love will help you achieve anything. 

.

5. POSITIVE THOUGHTS

Stop complaining and start doing is a big step you should be taking. By having positive thoughts within you, will help you get through the down days. Do you know that the more complaints you have, the more stress you will get? And the more stress you get, the less effective you will be.

Like I mentioned earlier in tip number 2 to surround yourself with positive and inspiring people. It’s so important to surround yourself with good vibes. These can uplift your mind and energy.

When I have negative people around, I tend to feel down and can’t get things done. Sometimes other people’s negative energy can really affect how you feel. For me personally, I pick up bad energy easier than others, even though I’m a super positive person but other bad energy can burn me out.

Trying to avoid negativity and staying positive about your process will take you far. Knowing what you do is good for yourself and will help you love your body and make you proud of yourself even more.

Share with me your thoughts on BODY POSITIVITY:

How are you dealing with your body insecurities?

In conclusion, remember not to push yourself too hard, know your body, never compare and take one step at a time. Always do it for you with love and care in mind. And always start your journey with positive thoughts.
