.bouncing back.

When you follow accounts that uplift you,

social media does not feel as bad. 

For a very long time I found myself constantly taking breaks from social media (IG mainly) because I started to feel burnt out after every session of endless scrolling. I realized recently that it was not the app itself that was making me feel that way, but the accounts I was following. I started unfollowing accounts that didn't provide me with useful information, or spark joy (yes, I'm borrowing from Marie Kondo). I also started following accounts that provide uplifting messages and resonate with me as a new mom. Logging into IG and scrolling is not as daunting anymore. 

It's really easy to fall into the trap of feeling that you are not good enough on social media. I'll admit that I was feeling a bit discouraged seeing so many new moms "bouncing back" to their pre-pregnancy body a few weeks after having their babies. However, I feel that the opposite can also be true as long as you remember that social media is not a representation of real life and you follow accounts that do spark joy. Real-life is already hard enough, so it's worth unfollowing those accounts that do not uplift you. Have you done any social media spring cleaning?

Speaking of spring cleaning, I enjoy cleaning out my closet and donating items that I do now wear. This type of dress will stay in my closet for a long time because it is so easy to wear. The print is not too bold, it's flowy, flattering and I can easily breastfeed Luna with it! I've worn it multiple times and it's my go-to dress when I don't feel like styling anything else. The best part is I don't really have to iron it! Ironing/steaming clothes are one of the things that do not spark joy in me, so I try my best to avoid it. Haha. 

I hope you are all enjoying Spring so far. We only have one month left before the official start of summer! I appreciate you and thank you for your support!

Much Love,
