Hi, Hive friends! I am so happy to receive my Skechers shoes this afternoon which I ordered a few days ago. Let me say, thank you Hive earnings for I can afford to buy the things I want without breaking the bank.
My goal for 2025 is to get back my Cinderella moment one step at a time. The first step is to find those pair of shoes to dress up. I just didn't buy one but two pairs of shoes with the colors white and navy blue. Last year, I bought peach/pink rubber shoes from Skechers in Spain, but it was not the shoes for dressing up. I love to collect Skechers shoes so I won't regret having new three pairs of Skechers shoes in less than 6 months. LOL
I got so excited to unbox it. I tried first the navy blue shoes, looks black in the photo, but lo and behold, I smiled with giddiness because the shoes fit perfectly on my feet. Gosh, it was so comfortable.
Then, tried on the white shoes, love the wide feet design because I have wide feet. When I put my feet inside, another Cinderella moment. It felt like stars sparkled around me when those two pairs of shoes perfectly fit well.
My feet and legs need self-care. And that hair fall, ugh.
I need to buy cream to beat this skin dryness. LOL
Dressing up only for me
As a mom, I've been feeling insecure with my postpartum body changes. At home, I've been wearing large T-shirts and pants. I didn't like the way I looked, so last year, I started my fitness journey. Although I am inconsistent I see the little changes.
I've been checking out on Instagram how to style and I've been checking some online shops for some clothes and dresses. I don't need to buy expensive ones, I'll go for the affordable ones so that I have many options to choose from with a limited budget. Dressing up is my second step to better myself.
Listening to Audiobooks with a free membership trial
I really want to buy some physical books here in France but I don't know which book I would love to read. I followed a page about book recommendations and got the Amazon links to click on. I found Audiobooks that I can listen to for free in one month. So far, it's helping me to calm down.
Here are the audiobooks I've been listening to:
The Mindful Guide to the Law of Attraction by Paige Oldham - done listening for two hours. I would love to have a physical book but the delivery is expensive.
Hold On to Your Kids (Why Parents Need to Matter More than Peers) by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Mate - I listened for 5 hours, not yet done with a total listening 16 hours.
Healing Through Breathing (Four Lessons for Lasting Health and Happiness) by Eddie Stern - I like listening to this as it feels like I am meditating.
The Five Keys to Mindful Communication - in queue for listening
Listening to audiobooks while doing house chores is really great. If you're a fan of audiobooks, please suggest some titles. Thank you. :D
Should I get the Kindle version or Paperback version?
I just downloaded the Kindle app on my android phone but not sure if it will work with my old iPad mini. I am tempted to buy the Kindle version of this book: The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: Bring Calm to your life with the ultimate mindfulness guide from a Buddhist monk by Haemin Sunim.
Will you please help me decide? Hehe Thank you so much.
Go for your fitness goal dzai.

not at all. the AI is weird in the first place. it pauses at random places and don't even start with how foreign words are read.

Kahirap magpagamay Uy! Specially if you are constantly surrounded with loads and tons of delicious foods everywhere you go. Heaven jud! They say when we feel good about ourselves then our cup will overflow and everything we wish to manifest will come to fruition.
