Marvelous in My Monday! {Christmas Things}

Merry Christmas Eve! 

Wow, is it me or did it come a bit too fast? I'm so glad we're celebrating MIMM today because I have a lot to share with all of you beauties. 

Big thank you to the Diva herself and her amazing little baby to be! 
******************
Let's get started! 
For the holidays, my family from South Korea wanted to visit but not all of them could make it. I am blessed to say that my grandma was already in LA meeting with her sister, so she decided to come and spend Christmas with us! 

My sister also came from UF and we are having the best time just joking around :) 

On the fitness and health front, I am now part of the Polar family! 

I've already begun to use it and it gets my approval! It's simple, efficient and it doesn't feel uncomfortable to wear the heart rate sensor at all. Definitely an early Christmas present ;) 

My workout clothes were getting a little old so I knew it was time for a new look. Enter PV Body! 

I am absolutely in love with the outfit they made for me and I'm thinking about continuing my subscription because it's that cute! The fabric is super elastic so it's easy to move in and is comfortable enough to run in. 
I also purchased the new edition of Intuitive Eating. I heard that it was a great read for those who had eating problems so I decided to give it a try. So far, I'm learning a lot and find myself making peace with foods that I usually have a dislike for. 

Many Marvelous happenings this season and hopefully more to come! 

Remember to spend time with your loved ones and hold them tight. 

Merry Christmas! 

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Happy Holidays!

Hello my fellow reindeers! 

I have been gone for a while haven't I? 

Alina's very sorry. 

Sometimes life can take over and get you a bit crazy! After mid-terms, I was definitely in recharge mode. I'm getting a lot more sleep and exercise has finally come into balance after spending time studying. I hope everyone has had nothing but peace and love while I was gone :)

Since I've been out, a lot of things have been happening around the world. I want to send out my deepest prayers and condolences to the community and those families affected by the CT shooting. I pray that God may be the peace and strength to those who are hurting. 

That tragedy really put my life in perspective and helped me realize that every second we have on earth is precious. Don't have anything or anyone taken for granted because everything is a blessing. I couldn't hold back the tears when I was watching the live report on the news and knowing that some families would not be able to spend time with their loved ones this holiday. 

Make every breath count! Laugh more, smile often and surround yourself with love this holiday season. Recognize that there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for. 

I'm thankful for all of your support on Keep Smiling and Love Life. I started this blog as a little journal  and to keep myself accountable. But it's grown into something much more than that. I've made so many friends through this and learned things that I would have never thought of otherwise! You all make my a difference in my health and my heart. I can never thank you all enough for reading my posts and making me feel at home. 

I will be back with more to say but for now, I wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday! 

God bless<3
