And Heaven in a wild flower, 
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
An Eternity in an hour." - William Blake

PSA: I probably won't stop posting about London for a good while 😜🙌🏽 #ViewsFromTheShard __ __ If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I will always admire a sunset 🌇 Doesn't matter where I am in the world - at home or not - there's something about the sun setting that makes me stop and just be. To take a moment to practice gratitude and mindfulness 🧡
Name a better DPT/PT aide workout duo, I'll wait 😜💪🏽 @sincerelychi __ __ Ab exercises? Yep! Fun AF workout buddy? Oh yes!! Partner workouts that will level up your gym game? SIGN ME UP 😂🙌🏽
My running essentials: leggings that don't slip, my running shoes, and my @asianamericangirlclub dad cap, of course!! 🏃🏾‍♀️😍 #TeamAAGC __ __ The Pacquiao v Thurman fight is happening tonight and Manny will donate $5 for every #MannysCorner post shared. So what am I fighting for? Asian American representation, diversity in the PT world, and redefining what it means to be an independent modern Millennial woman! ✊🏽 What do YOU fight for?
St. Pancras, you lookin mighty foooiiiiiine 😍 __ __ Travel tip #1738 ➡ take advantage of any connections you have travel wise. Whether it be family or friend, you will save a ton of $$ on lodging and other potential expenses! If you don't have any connections, then make some! Go out of your comfort zone and make new friends!! There is a huge community out there and online through social media. If all else fails, travel solo anyway and stay in a hostel because I guarantee that you won't have a problem meeting new people (as long as you do your research, be safe, and travel with an open mind). 🌍✈ Happy Friday my friends!! 😎
Heyooooo summer, can ya slow down a lil bit? Ya girl is thriving in your vibes 🌞 __ __ So I definitely did NOT hear my alarm go off and got ready for work in 5 min AND still had time to listen to music in my car 😅 How is your morning going?
Walking into Wednesday like...🤸🏾‍♀️ __ __ Felt inspired by @frompalmtosea to share more about myself! Here are 5 things you should know about me: 1⃣ I am deathly afraid of rats, I will physically cringe at the sight of one 2⃣ I used to be reallllyyy shy when I was little. Don't get me wrong, I still am (sometimes) but I have learned to grow out of my shell ever since I started working at a PT clinic 🙌🏽 3⃣ I am a HUGE fan of introspection and get along very well with other people that love to do it too! My absolute favorite thing to do is face mask and talk to my close friends about the reasons behind our actions and what drives them💕 4⃣ I have a MASSIVE sweet tooth! I will always have room for ice cream and bon bons 😋 5⃣ The last time I went fishing was about 12 years ago: my little brother went to cast the fishing pole and the hook got caught on my eyelid. Thank __ __ Now that you know a little more about me, tell me one fun fact about you!!
When he says "you're cute" and you're like "boy, tell me something I don't already know" 💁🏾 __ __ Sistas, this is the type of energy that we need, amirite tho?! 😂 __ __ But in all seriousness, this IG algorithm is seriously messing up with my engagement and idk about you but my insights have been screwing me over 😭 So I'm gonna do something different and post everyday this week, starting right now! This could be a hit or miss, buuut IG is supposed to be fun and eff the so called 'rules' - I'mma post what I want! 🙌🏽 S/O to @oliviacorin for the inspiration 😘
The high class Tita vibes were v strong last night😁 (but these heels hit different thooo 😭🙃) __ __ P. S I've worn this dress at my graduation, a baby shower, and now a Vegas night club 😂 Cuz if you love a piece so much, you will find reasons to show it off more often! (well that and you save your hard earned $$ 🙌🏽)
2 realizations were made today: ya girl would MUCH rather get down at a pool party & killer heels are NO JOKE 😂🙃 __ __ P. S I've worn this dress at my graduation, a baby shower, and now a Vegas night club 😂 Cuz if you love a piece so much, you will find reasons to show it off more often! (well that and you save your hard earned $$ by not buying a dress for each occasion🙌🏽)
