Phoenix: Live Love Laugh

I’m not sure why I didn’t think to blog about this when I first started… but better late than never, right?

About five months ago (heading into my sixth month now!), I started what was supposed to be a 30-day detox from Facebook, Instagram (or as I call it, Instant-Gram), sugar, and carbs.
And full disclosure? I’ve done great with the social media part… but the sugar and carbs?
Yeah… that’s been a little harder.

This morning, for example — my breakfast included three slices of toast. Oops.
And sure, my turmeric tea had brown sugar.
And yes, there were scrambled eggs and a cucumber salad to balance it out — but hey, baby steps.

Honestly, I’m thinking about trying Keto after my second shoulder replacement surgery (which, don’t worry, I’ll be blogging about soon).
Because if you’re going to commit to change, might as well go all in, right?

But here’s the real lesson I’ve learned:
We can live and enjoy life without constantly checking social media to see who’s doing what, where, and when.

Now don’t get me wrong — I’ve gotten some great ideas from my friends’ posts.
New places to visit. Restaurants to try. Even new recipes to cook.
Social media can be a good thing — it’s the overuse that becomes the problem.
As the saying goes, too much of anything can turn bad.

Sometimes, you just have to close the app, put down the phone, and go live the experiences yourself.
Don’t just watch — be the one creating the memories.

Today is a good day.
And a good day is the perfect excuse to make it a great one. ✨
