Quartined Life w/ Baby SIbling pt 2!! -Kasandra

 In my last post about my brother, I talked about how it can be very overwhelming to take care of a baby and how exciting it is that he's always learning something new. Recently he's started to crawl a little bit and want to walk as well. He'll want to stand up with us holding his hands and start walking a little which is exciting! He's starting to talk a little as well. He can say mama, dada, agua (which is water in Spanish) really easily. He's trying to say other stuff as well like comer (eat in Spanish). He says tetita which is his way of saying bottle for when he wants to take his nap. We recently got him a walker where he's been learning to walk a little more on with us right behind him so he doesn't fall. During these heat waves, he's been in a bit of a fussy mood because he doesn't like the heat as much. We try to keep him in cool places so he's able to be calm and he is for the most part. Mickey Mouse is our best friend most of the time s

You aren't meant to fit the clothes. Clothes are meant to fit you.

"You are not meant to fit the clothes, the clothes are meant to fit YOU. " my friend J said from the dressing room at Aritiza (a clothing store that runs smaller than it should).  It was in that moment I realized I was conforming myself to fit inanimate objects that have no real meaning to my life because I would throw these clothes, probably unfolded, into the back of my closet by the months end.  It's such a simple sentence, but it holds so much weight. In the world of 'influencers', butt shots galore, and 'buy your own dimples'-its kind of hard to feel good about yourself sometimes.  Whether you need to affirmation this onto your mirror or as a reminder in your phone, remember:  "You aren't meant to fit the clothes. The clothes are meant to fit you."  DO throw away your diet tea. DO Stop weighing yourself everyday.  DO create a balanced healthy lifestyle  DO stop comparing yourself  DO stop conforming to fit some unhealthy beauty standard

She's not real! Defusing the illusion.

       It's not real. Perfect doesn't exist Social media has been proven to be detrimental to mental health, especially women. As women we live in a world that is constantly telling us we aren't enough.                                     "Your boobs are too small."                                    "Your butt isn't big enough!"                                         "Your butt is tooo big."                                          "Your stomach has rolls."                          "Wear makeup it will cover up your 'flaws'"                                                         OR                           "Eww I hate girls who wear makeup."  With apps such as 'Beautyplus' where you can take away your 'flaws' or even make yourself a bit skinnier,social media is priming with retouched photos. Have you caught yourself comparing your beauty to retouched photos?  Below is a mixture of p
