Who else needs a little help relaxing these days?

Who else needs a little help relaxing these days? 🙋🏾‍♀️ When you're working from home day and in and day out like myself, the days all seem to blend together. I struggle with finding that balance between creating content and making time for my personal self care. That's why I decided to give @yesterdaywellness a try because of it's natural alternative for relief. Life already has enough everyday stresses and I love that ever since I've got my hands on these products I've found it easier to sleep and feel less overwhelmed. It’s time to make the stresses of today a thing of the past. #yesterdaywellness [AD]

Imagine getting 2000 likes on a bomb picture in the perfect white bikini, but secretly wishing you had even 200 reasons to smile during this horrific time.

We live in a society that thinks because you look good on the outside it equates to being happy on the inside. That’s how it’s supposed to work right? I’m here to tell you that the answer is not always that simple. I wish I could bring better news but these past couple of days I’ve been a mess like most people down my TL. The anxiety of the COVID death toll surpassing 100k+ in the US coupled with blatant racism and murder caught on tape has me on edge. Outside is looking damn scary in more ways than one and I just want my biggest problem to be all the snacks I’ve been eating on quarantine, but the reality is that’s not it. I came across a few self care tips during times like this that have helped me:

1️⃣ Unplug from the news and social media. If taking a break isn’t for you, limit yourself to the number of times you’re on your phone so you don’t get overwhelmed with information.
2️⃣ Your feelings are valid. It’s okay to feel your feelings. There’s so many mixed emotions: Anger, sadness, trauma, confusion, despair. It’s okay to not understand your feelings in this moment because it’s simply a lot to process. Take each day one step at a time.
3️⃣ Set firm boundaries around engaging with people who are trying it right now. It is not your responsibility to engage with people who want you to make them understand years of systematic racism. There’s Google for that. You do not need to be burdened anymore than you already are.

While we are all struggling to find focus in moments like this, I feel joy knowing that I’m apart of something bigger than me. Check in with yourself from time to time and always make sure that your mental health comes first. Peace and blessings 🤍

Could you spend hours here reading, thinking, talking? 💭 @zinus easy set up bed frame has been the missing puzzle piece to my little space. I can't believe I've been in Austin for over a year and haven't felt more at home than now. #Affordtobeyou #zinuspartner #liveinwonder #zinus

Thanks to n* by @nutriliteUS, there's never a dull moment in my daily routine! I've been trying the Go Shield Gummies & KomBuch-Yeah! The added Vitamin C, B6, and Zinc are great for immunity support, and they taste so good 😋 #NutrilitePartner #MoreNMoreU

Unlocked my not so hidden talent to share how I create a month worth of content in 2-3 hrs 💃🏾 If you find yourself staring at the screen not knowing what to post, let me save you hours and hours of stress. Go ahead and save THIS for later. Now for my dancing, how’d I do 👀

I was reminded that on this day 3 years ago, I graduated with my degree in Industrial Engineering 🎓👩🏾‍💻 It’s funny how the tables turned, seeing that I’ve never used my degree a day in my life. I honestly did what most children growing up in an African home were advised to do... become an engineer, lawyer, doctor, etc. After all those years of school, I chose to follow a different path once I walked out those graduation doors. If I could go back in time and talk to the girl I was back then, I’d tell her:

1️⃣ Get over your fear of failure. Success and failure are two sides of the same coin. By picking easy fights, you are limiting yourself to mediocrity. Push yourself, fail hard, but make sure you learn from every effort.

2️⃣ Minimize regret: When faced with a choice between doing something memorable, and something mundane- pick the memorable. Nobody fondly remembers the things they never did.

3️⃣ Be less of an observer, watching on from up above- be an active participant in the game of life.

To my old friends and new friends here, I feel like I owe it to you! Thanks to @tiktok, @pinterest and @instagram, the Sweet Like Oyin family has been growing like crazy.

Let me just go ahead and get this out the way…. Now that you’re here, you’re stuck with me 😂 Let’s start off this friendship by sharing few things we may connect on:

1️⃣ Just like my name Oyin (which means 🍯 in Yoruba), I’m the sweetest soul you’ll ever meet. I’m really passionate about helping people achieve their goals, exploring new places and living a life you love.

2️⃣ I have a best friend for every stage of my life. This might sound a little obsessive, but I’ve been blessed to find my tribe and I lean on them for encouragement, guidance, and advice! They truly keep me sane and grounded!
3️⃣ My love hate relationship with food runs deep. I absolutely LOVE food but HATE working out. I’m one of those people that dreams about food in the middle of the night. At this point it is what it is. It’s the life I chose and that life chooses me back 🤷🏾‍♀️
