LUMBERJANE IN THE MAKING, but really just letting my imaginations run wild (like literally) 🪓 Making the most of my spare time, during these social distancing days, really easing in to the idea of slowing down and making time to live. I’ve always felt a disconnect from the term “slow living”, especially since I would find myself growing impatient with spare time (finding new projects to fill my time with). Never a homebody, I embrace spontaneous adventures, painting the town, and living for being in the fast lane. As I’ve committed to staying home as much as possible, I suddenly have the luxury of time to cook up a storm in the kitchen, reconnect with my love for baking, wine-(🍷)ing down to soulful music, reading enriching books, organising the home, and other homely things. Admittedly, it feels somewhat selfish to be enjoying the luxury of time to appreciate living slow, when the world is in crisis mode and mortality rates shoot through the roof. But I really have to say, I feel like I’m breathing and living for the first time in a long time 🪓 I wanna hear from you. How are you handling this stay at home period? What are you preoccupying your free time with? Where are you at with your emotions on staying at home? . #slowlived #simplethingsmadebeautiful #thesimpleeveryday #darlingmoment #cornersofmyworld #beautyyouseek #makeitblissful #lifeunscripted #sheisthewild #amongthewild
Never taking travelling or being in the great outdoors ever for granted • Eternally grateful to have visited Italy late last September. Even now as I look back upon my trip to the south, I only have the warmest memories of being by the most incredible landscapes, watching the sun set against the glistening ocean, meeting friendly locals who may not have adequately been able to speak English yet wholeheartedly and unselfishly showed us a good time, learning about the South’s fascinating mafioso past, and the endless glorious food and drinks I had the pleasure of enjoying. Not that I’d taken travelling for granted before, but I know that the next time I do, I’ll be savouring every second of it. In the meantime, I’m gonna whip up some homemade pizzas in the weekend to reminisce those Italian days . #makeitblissful #alliseeispretty #smallmomentsofcalm #slowandsimpledays #capturequiet #everysquareastory #travelcommunity #dailydoseofcolor #alittlebeautyeveryday
HOMEWORK OUT for Full Body (swipe 👈🏼) It’s close to 2 months that I’ve been avoiding the gym to increase social distancing. In this anxious & hectic time, we wanna stay healthy & happy. Personally, I’ve been invested in working out from home ever since and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Exercising always lifts my spirit, leaves me feeling more relaxed, and helps me sleep better at night. Since we’re committed to staying at home for a little while, here’s a full body workout I did yesterday that got me sweating buckets 🔥 HIIT CIRCUITS (Each circuit lasts 7 mins. Repeat as many of the 4 movements within the 7 mins. Between circuits, set aside 30-60 secs rest.) 🔓 Circuit 1️⃣ (7mins x 2 Rounds) Walking lunges 24 reps Push ups 15 reps Box mountain climbers (4) + box jumps (1) 15 reps Ab bikes 40 reps 🔓 Circuit 2️⃣ (7mins x 2 Rounds) Crab walks 15 reps Commandos 24 reps Burpees 15 reps Russian twists 40 reps 🔥 #athomeworkout #athomeintheworld #athomefitness #stayhome #workouttips #socialdistancing #singaporelife #homeworkouts
Diving into Monday like... ::: In other matters, I hope that you’re all well —taking the necessary precautions, staying strong mentally, and keeping yourselves healthy while social distancing ::: These are trying times that test our humanity. Will we be able to look back and see that we were able to forsake our selfish interests for the good of others? Were we helpful to the vulnerable and those who needed that help the most? What’s really interesting about Covid-19, is seeing individuals, who are climate change & social injustice advocates, still travelling, heading to events, and out at busy joints. My hope is that we’ll dig deep as individuals and collectively as a community to find it in us to be selfless and more thoughtful of others — if we all pitch in (just like recycling, pollution, & climate change), we will stop the spread of this virus. If you’re young and have no pre-existing medical conditions, you probably won’t die from this. But by travelling, catching up with friends over dinner, going to a party, you run the risk of catching the virus and unknowingly pass it along to others who may be susceptible to severe complications from the virus ::: So work, walk your dog (or yourself) exercise, read books, play video games, Netflix, spend time with your kids, sketch, think, write, cook, sleep, play music, dance in your living room, sing, listen to music, text/message/FaceTime friends, do nothing but STAY HOME. It has never been easier to SAVE LIVES • #covid_19 #freedomthinkers #stayhuman
Surround yourself with Positive, Nourishing & Uplifting people✨ (double tap if you agree!) • Ray Goforth has this quote that really stuck with me, it aptly sums up some of the many voices that we will most likely come across in our endeavours to succeed, for the most part, these voices come from a place of insecurity, a lack of imagination, or simply fear—— “There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed” -Ray Goforth • Putting myself out here on a public platform means opening myself up to criticism and judgements. I get that our brains are wired to make automatic judgements about others’ and so whenever I’m faced with negativity, I move on without spending too much energy or give it power. Of course, there are those times I have to remind myself that when you’re doing the big, hard work, people will notice and sometimes it won’t be the RIGHT people, but when you can learn to channel your focus on the good, keep an open heart & mind, and protect your energy to be poured into the right things, you’ll become more convicted in your message and you’ll be more prepared to stand/fight for what you really believe in. I’ve found that where there is success (or happiness in doing something original / unconventional) ugly things can creep in. These days, we’re fighting “faceless” battles, those behind our screens that people never see • Thank goodness, for the most parts, I have you, my supportive tribe to thank for your positively upbeat emails/DMs for me to go back to during the hard days. Thank you for showing up to join me in pursuit of my biggest, boldest, and badassness dreams, in a world that can sometimes seem like a scary, harsh, and unkind place. That’s all, just wanted to say that I’m grateful for y’all! Happy scrolling❕ #strongtogether #sicily_mood #roamingwomen #creativecommunity #travelbloggerlife #prettylittletrips #visitsicily #discoveritaly
5 reminders for the week: 1. Be true to yourself. Write your story YOUR WAY, you owe no explanations or reasons for anything you do in your own life 2. Stay in your own lane and pay attention to yourself, don’t worry about the naysayers. You can’t control other people’s minds, but you can control their presence in your life 3. Even if others don’t understand what you are creating, it doesn’t mean what you’re creating isn’t meaningful 4. The way you speak to yourself matters. Give yourself more love and affirmations 5. Stop complaining, start appreciating • //p/s: wearing one of my fav labels @melissaodabashdesign Resort 2020 collection #womenwhotravel #gardencity #singaporecity #singapore🇸🇬 #singaporelife
How I feel when my favourite song comes on— First, bump up the volume then, let’s get turnt! • Stumbled upon the cutest neighbourhood while in search for a Turkish bath. Istanbul is massively huge and somehow, our search on our 12hr layover for a luxurious scrub-down brought us here. 🍇 wines hanging below electrical wiring out in the alleyways, loads of cute cafes, and alfresco bars/bistros to dine at. All I wanted to do was waste the day away and spend more time in Istanbul, good thing about a strong coffee culture, a 12hr layover in Istanbul feels a whole lot like a full day here😉 #wanderwoman #womenwhotravel #roamingwomen #travelgirlsgo #shewhowanders
The best project to work on is yourself💋 | I forget sometimes that life is a work-in-progress, I like to rush the process and I’m eager to see results. The good ol’ perfectionist in me doesn’t help either. So wherever you are today, (if you’re going through this emotion just like me) it’s alright if things aren’t exactly where you want them to be, it’s ok to be uncertain/afraid/unsure (that’s what certain seasons in life is made up of), you just have to keep on showing up & putting in the work and before you know it, you’ll find your footing and be exactly where you wanted to be. You’re doing the best that you can today and that’s enough, your best is enough, so be kind to yourself | The positive or negative pep talk we feed ourselves has the means to MAKE OR BREAK us. We’ll spend the same amount of time giving ourselves the pep talk anyway, but the result’s drastically different in our outlook. So why don’t we just choose happiness and celebrate the positives❔ | // @lu.goldie | @myraswim #mindfulliving #maldivesislands #visitmaldives #islandtime #islandparadise
