I surprised my 5 year old nephew with matching shoes.

He starts kindergarten in a few weeks and I want him to be the most stylish boy there. He loves shoes just like his auntie. ❤️

I've had my car two weeks now and I'm still in awe over the beautiful Meta Blue Pearl.

I never know if it's going to look blue, grey, or purple when I see it. No filter. Just a freshly washed car, the bright evening sun, and a bit of wildfire smoke in the air.

My new 2026 Elantra N-Line.

After 15 years of owning nothing but Japanese vehicles (3 Mazdas and a Toyota) I ended up a Hyundai dealer through a friend's recommendation of an awesome sales guy she knows. I was dead set on finding something used on their lot because I've been so against Hyundai and Kia forever. The sales guy showed me this and I decided to take it for a test drive. I absolutely loved it! The beautiful Meta Blue Pearl colour was a huge bonus. I usually go for something neutral because I don't like flashy cars, but this is the perfect balance of neutral and colour.

It was a hard decision to trade in my CX5 Turbo because it actually has major sentimental value, but I needed something with better fuel economy. I debated it for months because of the sentimental value. I didn't wantever I got to feel like a downgrade, because I would just be upset if I felt like I settled for something just because it's better on gas. Although it does not have as many features as my top trim level CX5, I think I will be very happy with it. I have no regrets and have gotten so many compliments on it. I hope I continue to love it for years to come.

F/38/5'6" [270-ish lbs > 195lbs = ~75lbs] (35 Months) Face gains

I'm always in shock when I see I have an actual jawline and collarbones. I still have a ways to go, but have recently been struggling to lose. I'm trying to get back on the right track.

I don't know why I look angry in the recent one. I'm starting to think I've developed resting bi*ch face. 😂

Trader Joe's gluten-free haul.

What are your favourite Trader Joe's gluten-free items? Is there anything else I should get next time?

I highly recommend those cookies. I may have had a few on the drive home.

I decided to check out a small hiking trail.

I can walk all day, no problem. My daily average for the month of May is currently 14,700 but a 3.2km(2 miles) easy hike killed me today. This place is only a two minute detour on ny way home from work, if I take the scenic route, so I'm going to start doing this trail a couple of times a week until I get better at it. While I was dying, I took these beautiful pictures. No filter, but I think my lens was dirty so it gave them a cool ambiance.

I had to force myself to go for a walk today.

I've been doing really well with consistently hitting my 12,000 steps a day, but by 7pm today I had done less than half of that. I really just wanted to stay home and be lazy, but I haven't missed a single day of hitting my Samsung Health targets in over a month. I couldn't give up for one day of just not wanting to go, so I pushed myself to do 5.25km. I have no regrets.

What are your daily step targets?

Gluten belly?

Does anyone getting uncomfortable from tight waistbands? Like even bands that slightly fitted feel uncomfortable. I had an issue for many years that sort of hid this issue, and that has been fixed with surgery. I thought the discomfort was from the surgery itself because that'swhen it started, but I am over 3 months post-op now and it's still happening. I cut out gluten for a couple of weeks and I think it felt better, but I'm not 100% sure because that wasn't one of the symptom I was paying attention to. I have since gone back to eating it, and think it's gotten worse. Does anyone else have this issue, or could this be unrelated to gluten?

Matte leather care.

What is the best conditioner to use on dark brown matte leather. I have used a cleaner and got it back to matte and I'm hoping to find a conditioner that doesn't make it shiny. It's a Mazda CX5 signature edition with Cocoa Brown Nappa leather, so it is real leather. Also, if anyone knows a trick to get the creases out, that would be a bonus.

Any help would be appreciated.
