Summer Vlog | Anxiety, Pedicure, Birthday Party, & Quince

[@Jni470]

It took me about a month to fully relax and feel less anxious. It is wild, but also why I cannot/will not/should not teach summer school.

[@kymberlybonet]

Too true!

[@solidice242]

Same. July is the only month where I am semi relaxed. As soon as August hit I get anxious again. I don't know how teachers work summer school but it's not for me.

[@Born2TeachAndGrow]

Same!!

[@LynnDanielleTreasure]

Always happy to see a SmartieStyle vlog! I understand what you mean about structuring your summer days. It's important to self care!

[@erikarefined]

So sorry about the anxiety. Take it one day at a time. The doggies are so cute!

[@allysonmariemusic]

Still watching but related too much to what you shared about anxiety. Thanks for talking about it. 🫶🏼

[@erinwalker5066]

Luna is so adorable 🥰

[@shanitab.4988]

100% agree with you on that debate

[@TheAdventuresofNanyandNewmie]

Regarding anxiety... I know it is hard...but you should try cutting out caffeine. I was running on coffee most mornings. Something told me to give it up. I have felt so much less nervous and when I feel the need to control things it disappears instantly. It may be worth a try... I substituted the coffee with a protein shake for the summer.

Try using a blow dryer to melt the adhesive on the vinyl on your door.

Enjoyed the vlog as always! Your nails are so pretty! Enjoy the rest of your summer break.

Super goop unseen is clear. I love it

School starts in exactly a month and my anxiety is already coming back! It’s so frustrating and I want to enjoy the last few weeks but 80% of my thoughts are work, I get it! I’m in my twenties, single w no kids, but a puppy & I’m trying not to spend money I don’t have because rent is high but I find that I have to get out the house to avoid the upcoming work thoughts. It’s so hard though so I relate to you a lot!

[@SmartieStylelr]

Hang in there!

[@TheAdventuresofNanyandNewmie]

Pack a lunch and go for a picnic or go to a public place that's free ❤

[@johnlopez3996]

When I saw the title of your latest video, I was thinking of quince fruit and quince jam. I then realized that you were talking about a quinceañera. Do your best to enjoy your summer. Take care

[@mplans328]

Enjoyed the vlog. Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. Ive been using Black Girl Sunscreen for a couple years and love it!

I hate the turmoil that our very much needed summer break causes. Grrr!!! If I sit at home doing nothing for more than 2 days, I begin to go nuts. It probably has to do with how active we were before we started teaching. I know every one of my days was jam packed with errands and/or big sister/oldest daughter responsibilities. I think it's ingrained in our being. My thinking is that a little voluntary work at our leisure is okay and even healthy. It beats the demands of work when we get back in the "fall." I hope you find some sense of balance so you can enjoy the rest of your summer. 🙂

[@SmartieStylelr]

I do think staying somewhat busy/productive is a part of my personality which does help with me trying to truly relax. I guess I will continue to be a work in progress when it comes to me needing to relax and free myself of the need to be doing something.

Luna is so adorable 🥹

[@tinai9658]

Thank you for posting 🎉❤😊

[@kelrubino340]

Hello there! Thanks for the video

[@jndavis83]

Distracted by those beautiful nails 😍

[@lynnbleasdale5824]

Enjoyed your vlog. The only thing that I had difficulty with was the sound. Most of the video had some kind of interference, like wind or fan blowing, and your voice was difficult to hear. The outro was great, though and crystal clear. TFS

[@SmartieStylelr]

That is the AC you're hearing when I vlog. Based on where I have to place the camera in the car and how hot it is right now, there is no avoiding that sound. Sorry...

[@CraftPlanTeachRepeat]

It took me a month to feel relaxed with less anxiety and now it almost time to go back.😢

[@fdoctor79]

Chile, I try not to go outside often because every time I do I spend money. 😅 My main priorities are God, me, and finishing my PhD. It's not selfish, it's self-preservation. 😂 Tfs

[@SmartieStylelr]

Good luck with finishing up your PhD!

[@marie-louisedekort9360]

Love your comments about Trump and I’m not even from the USA.

[@isabelmariamendezrochaorop3374]

LOL, same..I will always and forever chose anyone and/or anything over our former president. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Try some WD-40 on the door.
