I have been feeling very stressed and worried lately because I have a lot on my plate and some of it is going really well and other parts could definitely improve.

1. Find Room to Breathe: Take a minute to shut everything off, including your brain. Breathe, close your eyes and be still for as long as you can to clear your head.
2. Exercise: Physical activity of any level will help to relieve any tension and stress and put you in a better mood:

3. Worst Case Scenario: Think about the worst case scenario and then create the solution! Once you have this figured out, it will ease your mind and you will feel prepared for anything.

4. Talk About It: Talk about your problems with a friend, share how you feel and let someone give you their prespective. If you’re really not comfortable sharing then write it out, this is a great help too.
5. Music: Music is an amazing way to lift your mood and relax your mind and body. I put on music for everything and it helps me when I need to gain energy.

(New Video Post) The Darkest Hour Only Has 60 mins #SelfLoveSaturday

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I want to talk about the quote “The darkest hour only has 60 minutes” . I stumbled on this quote on instagram right when I needed it. I had many moments last year of asking “why is all of this ish happening?!” and when I saw this quote I actually got some reassurance because I realize that whatever I am going through, it wil pass and it’s only an hour, or a day, or a month etc. And when I come through it I will have learnt a whole lot more and grown tremendously. That’s the cycle of life, we have to go through rough times in order to come out stronger and wiser but like the saying goes, “even the darkest hour only has 60 minutes”. Check out my video below and I hope this helps anyone going through a rough time.

(New Video Post) #DearMe – Self Love Satuday Edition #SelfLoveSaturday

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I took part in the #DearMe Campaign that youtube is doing to celebrate international women’s day. They have a great campaign going encouraging women to make videos giving advice to your younger self. I took awhile to think about exactly what I would say to “younger Andrea” and the main thing I wish I could’ve told her is to “love herself”. I wish I knew the power of self love when I was younger and that I invested in loving myself a lot sooner, but like Maya Angelou once told me “everything happens in it’s time”. The advice I touched on in this video is:

1. You Are Enough: Let go of the fear and the notion that you are not enough, because you most absolutely are! You are uniquely created and you are enough.

2. Be An Artist: You art fulfills you and makes you happy so explore it, enjoy it, share it and do it because you are an artist.

3. Be Yourself: You don’t have to fit into anyone’s box. You can do whatever and be whoever you want.

4. Appreciate Your Natural Beauty: God gave you a lot of natural beauty, embrace it and make the very best of it!

5. Listen To Your Intuition: That voice inside of your head, heart and gut is there for a reason, don’t doubt it just listen to it always!

6. Don’t Be Afraid of Confrontation: It is important to have your voice heard, so don’t be afraid to speak up for what you believe, what you think is right, when you’re feeling wronged or simply when you have a better idea!

7. Happiness Comes From Within: There is no outside factor that is going to make you happy if you don’t find the happiness within yourself first.

8. Appreciate The Struggle: I know it might seem hard but appreciate the struggle and the rejection. These times will help you to grow and learn and become better.

9. You Are Great: If only my younger self could know then what I know now, she would know just how great she’s going to be!

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Hey guys, today I want to talk about gaining confidence through self love, taking risks and how it gets waaay better if you stick to the path. I’ve been on my self love journey for a while now and I’m genuinely a much more confident person now in my abilities, purpose and womanhood.

So this video is a quick reminder to anyone that has been on this journey with me or just started their self love journey that it gets better! Stick to it, keep trying even on days when it’s hard because it eventually gets better. Check out my video below, and my kickstarter campaign for Jungle Wild and donate!

Today I want to talk to you guys about saving yourself from anything! I learned this at some point in the beginning of the year when I realized that I was my own super hero, and the only person I could rely on to take me out of a situation was myself! It’s easy for us to blame our situations on different people or other factors but you have to realize that stuff happens and the only person who can fix it or change or help it is you! Save yourself!

(New Video Post) Embrace Your Mistakes #SelfLoveSaturday

Happy Self Love Saturday! 

Today I want to talk to you guys about “Embracing Your Mistakes”. It has taken me a long time to learn the power of embracing my mistakes and not dwelling on them but rather learning from them and doing better. When you know better you do better and the only way to learn is through your mistakes. I had to learn that I had to let go and just learn, the mistakes I had and continue to make don’t make me a failure they make me smarter, stronger, wiser and more confident. I’ve been through a lot, I’ve made mistakes, I took what I learned and I grew and that’s what life is about. Check out my video below on the importance of embracing your mistakes.

(New Video Post) Pick Your Battles #SelfLoveSaturday

November 8, 2014 by

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I want to talk to you guys about the power of “picking your battles”. I’ll admit that I am still learning when and how to pick my battles, instead of getting defensive, taking things personal and being quick to fight but my self love journey has been a big help for that. I was inspired to do this video from reading a quote that said,

“Arguing with people whose intentions are not to understand you, only to prove themselves right. You do not owe it to anybody to carry on a conversation that is only serving the ego, but you do owe it to yourself to step out of the inevitable frustration and self-doubt of interacting with people who don’t listen to understand, but to respond; who don’t speak to be heard, but to defend.” 

This quote put a lot of things into perspective for me because recently I’ve had to deal with a few people that were arguing with me for the sake of arguing and not to understand me. I had to step back and understand what was happening and why it wasn’t worth me putting my effort into and instead pick my battles wisely. Check out the video below on what I’ve learned about picking my battles.

(New Video Post) Don’t Be Afraid To Say “No” #SelfLoveSaturday

August 2, 2014 by

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today’s video is a reminder to not be afraid to say “No” to the people, places and things that no longer grow you, help you, serve you or make your gut say “something .

I used to think saying “No” was starting a confrontation, and I hate confrontations! But after starting my self love journey and gaining more confidence in myself I started to realize it was okay to say “NO” to things that made me uncomfortable, and it didn’t make me the bad guy or confrontational, it just made me confident in who I am, and what I want and what makes me happy. Saying “NO” is okay! Check out my video below of why you shouldn’t be afraid to say “NO”.

Happy Self Love Saturday!
