The Flood, The Sinuses, and The Men Apparently Shooting Their Shot


I swear life has been feeling so weird lately 🤣

Yesterday was supposed to be a day off. I did my Glow Getter routine, my nonnegotiable while filming my vlog like I always do, then headed out to Sculpt Warrior before going to get a pedicure.


And somehow my pedicure tub starts overflowing because nobody was paying attention 💀

Then while I am FINALLY getting my pedicure, over the next half hour THREE other pedicure tubs almost overflowed too from people walking away and not paying attention lol

At that point I was just sitting there laughing because the energy in the whole place felt completely off the rails.


Then I got home and completely crashed out of nowhere. I ended up resting the rest of the night and while I’m laying there my phone starts pinging.

Client cancellations.

Not one.

Not two.

THREE clients canceling over the next couple weeks due to surgeries.

And honestly I just sat there like… what are the actual odds of that? It wasn’t upsetting. It just felt weirdly specific. Especially after how nonstop life has been since March.


Then this morning I wake up with my sinuses completely inflamed. Did my nasal routine, did my glow routine, then realized I forgot to film my vlog 🤦🏼‍♀️

Then I look at the clock and realize I need to leave for my massage at Life Time.

So I go to brush my teeth and realize my permanent retainer is completely gone.

Like… GONE gone.

How does that even happen? I’ve only had it a few months 🤣

So naturally I ask my son if I’m blind or losing my mind because weird shit always be happening around here and he just looks at me and goes:

“Mom… I’ve had mine for years. I don’t know how yours just completely disappears.”

Honestly valid 🤦🏼‍♀️💀


So now I’m sinus inflamed, missing part of my mouth apparently, and heading into Life Time for my massage.


I get out of my car and start walking toward the building when this guy who was already halfway to the parking lot sees me, smiles, turns around, runs back to the door, and opens it for me.

And I don’t know what’s been happening lately, but I have genuinely never felt so respected.

Which instantly made me think about the other day when I was leaving class and a guy sitting there putting his shoes on stopped to tell me I looked beautiful and asked if we should grab food sometime.

Except my brain apparently only processed:

“you look beautiful” 🤣

I said thank you, told him to have a great day, and kept walking completely oblivious.

It wasn’t until I got halfway down the stairs that my brain finally caught up and I realized:

“Oh shit… he asked me out.”

It honestly made me wonder if I’ve just been this oblivious the whole time and other guys have tried approaching me over the years without me even realizing it 🤣


Then I finally get into my massage appointment with one of my former massage students from back when I was an instructor.

Which honestly made me really happy because I love seeing people doing well in life.

We ended up laughing because he still remembers how direct I am and how much of a goofball I actually am. I know being as direct as I am can intimidate people sometimes if they don’t really understand me, so hearing him talk about me all these years later honestly made me smile.

And the massage was EXACTLY what I needed.

He got my inflammation way down and by the time I left I felt energized again and ready to tackle the day.


Then I get home…

…and more cancellations start popping up 🤣

At that point I just sat there thinking okay life, I hear you loud and clear.

This is wildly interesting timing.


Clearly my focus is supposed to be shifting somewhere else right now.

Things always seem to fall off right before new things are coming in.

It’s the shift. ✨
