NASHVILLE 🩷 the cute girly city of my dreams!! ☁️ a week later + i’m still thinking about how nice everybody was 🥹🩷 grateful to have gotten the chance to celebrate @laurelisabeth27’s 30th and to see @danandshay again!!! long distance friendships can be HARD but so worth it esp. when the trip makes it out of the group chat!! 🫶🏾 can one of my friends do a bach here, so i can come here again and this time, i’ll be prepared to know all these country songs 🤣 #nashville #nashvilletn #nashvillelife #nashvillescene #nashvillestyle

ever go on a walk only to have thoughts that hit you deep? 😂 life as an immigrant is truly WILD. you move to a new country w/ your immediate fam, acclimate to a new culture/lifestyle and somehow everyone, including yourself, continue to live separate lives across the world yet still being bound by DNA 🧬 & the place you once called home becomes a memory that you somehow try to grasp onto over the years while also feeling grateful for this new place you call home AND creating new “homes” along the way. it’s a mixed pot of feelings lol who can relate?! 😅 #immigrantstories #immigrantlife #rewritingthenarrative #iamanimmigrant #vulnerabilityisstrength

😭 still not over seeing my fav Irish boyband LIVE this week for their St. Patrick’s Day Special @westlife!! 😭 a huge full circle moment for me to have grown up in Singapore listening to their music to now seeing them LIVE for their first U.S. show that happens to be in Boston where i live now 😭☘️🇮🇪 2024 is all about revisiting things that brought younger me so much joy — highly recommend doing something for yourself even if you’re doing it alone 🫶🏽 missing my sister @shazlennshaz 💚 #westlife #stpatricksday #thewilddreamstour #innerchildhealing #boybandsforever #innerchildlove

i used to despise winter after the holidays bc it’s nothing but the brutal cold. now, i’m getting ready to leave winter with lots of GRATITUDE as winter has allowed me to slow down, hibernate and reflect indoors away from the cold (although apparently this is considered a mild winter, so can i even complain lol) 🫶🏽 i’ve never been much of a seasonal queen since LA didn’t really have distinct seasons. now that im in Boston, i’ve grown to appreciate each season as they all have something to offer 🩷 Spring, to me, feels very much like a “New Year” (following Persian traditions of celebrating Nowruz) so i’m excited for a season of being outdoors, feeling renewed, and tapping into warmer temps… with a side of allergies 😂 🩷🌸🌺🌷 #springseason #gratitudepractice #wellnessjourney #springhascome #springactivities #bostonspring #gratitudedaily

💘 continuing Women’s Month festivities with a @reebok x @twotonedtraining workout at @view_boston alongside @vestercafe @sixstarpronutrition to celebrate the launch of Reebok’s latest Not Made to Be Subtle collection!! 🩷🫶🏽 felt incredible surrounded by all these strong ladies in pink 😍 also 10/10 recommend the new FloatZig1 Runners launching in April aka the real reason why I was able to do all those jumps yesterday 🤣🥲💀 #reebok #notmadetobesubtle #womenshistorymonth #womensupportingwomen #bostonwellness

🩷 Happy International Women’s Day! What a beautiful event by @legacyplace @nbc10boston @showcaseus to honor + celebrate the strong women that we all are 💪🏽 While we’ve come a long way with so much to celebrate, there’s still so much to fight for (ie. reproductive rights, racial justice, etc). Wellness goes beyond working out + getting our greens in. It also encompasses the responsibility we all have to continue advocating for systems change for our community while also taking care of ourselves — however that looks like for us✨ 💘 PANEL: @_hannah.donnelly @msniagrace @taniyanayak @bostonwomensfund @kristinamillerxoxo 💘 GODDESS DJ: @djdejaboston 💘 VENDORS: @miniluxe @sparkbysimone @saloncapri @bluemercury @kendrascott @blackbirddoughnuts #internationalwomensday #womensday #womensupportingwomen #legacyplace

NEW FACES ON HERE — HIII, I’M SHAZIE! 🤍 i call 3 places home — Singapore, LA, and Boston 🏠 so if i’m going to any of these places, i’ll just say “i’m going home” bc they’re home to me in different ways 🥹 🤍 i started my lifestyle blog in 2016 when i needed something FUN aside from my clinical research job in LA (who knew me back then?? lol) which has since then morphed into a wellness blog… and now i love sharing all things self-love + holistic wellness 🩷 🤍 it took me 6 years to graduate college bc i couldn’t decide between majors + honestly HATED school (im looking at you, OCHEM!!) bc i thought pharmacy was my only option 😂 ended up pursuing my MPH, which is how i ended up in Boston + now slowly honoring my love for the wellness space. 🤍 i got into EFT tapping bc i was craving something beyond the typical mindset work. growing up, my circumstances were HARD which negatively shaped how I viewed myself & the world. bc of how tapping has helped me, i now love sharing this simple yet powerful tool with others and plan on expanding my knowledge to continue sharing! 🤍 lastly, i love watching + listening to 90’s/00’s shows/music bc that was my fav era… plus i love that feeling of comfort + knowing how things end. a deeper part of me knows that it’s bc THIS era brought the MOST change in my life (moving to a new country, being on survival mode, etc) and i will forever have this chapter to thank for my resilience. maybe that’s why I love Gasolina so much? 😅🥹🤪 YOUR TURN! what are a few fun random things about you?! 😍 📸 @stephanie_rita #bostonwellness #wellnessjourney #efttapping #growthjourney #immigrantstories

📝 one of my goals this year is being consistent with a mindful practice - whatever i need that day. whether it’s journaling, tapping, breathwork, mindful movement, etc, im a big fan of the “little things” each day ❤️ since my words for 2024 are SERENITY & SIMPLICITY, i’ve decided to keep things simple with my guided prompts aka using the same prompts everyday to build routine! if you’re new to journaling or the thought of writing just seems daunting, dive into these prompts i’m personally using for the week rooted in simplicity, gratitude, and learning 🩷 simplifying routines may seem boring, but there is power in keep things small + consistent! cheers to you 🤝 micro habits! #journalprompts #selfreflection #writingjourney #emotionalregulation #wellnesstips

😂 a week later, i’m STILL taking in all the feel-good vibes from last weekend!! felt called to get out of my comfort zone & pour into others on my bday… and i couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend it (plus yay beautiful snow!!) ❄️ forever grateful to @fifthwellness @movementwith_jill @oasisbos for making this special day happen!! ✨🎂 vendors: @seaportmedspa @smartwater @playabowlsnortheastern @restorehyperwellness @lunya & @reebokboston ❤️ and most of all, grateful for EVERYONE who showed up and TRUSTED in me to hold space for the group. i don’t take your trust & time lightly and can’t wait to continue connecting on here and IRL! 🫶🏽 #bostonwellness #emotionalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #efttapping #numerologyreadings

CHEESY STATEMENT INCOMING — affirmations are like ornaments... but on you 🤪🎄 you can dress up your tree with all of the pretty ornaments, but if you don’t take care of the tree itself, those ornaments won’t have anywhere to hang on to! same goes for affirmations! if you don’t take care of your ROOTS, those affirmations won’t be much besides affirming words for just a few seconds. the words would need to get to the subconscious level of your mind in order for you to FULLY EMBODY the words you speak… in other words, give your brain the memo that you’re your affirmation! 👏🏽 THOUGHTS on my cheesy analogy? 🤪🎄🫶🏽 #mindsettips #subconsciousreprogramming #affirmationsdaily #selflovefirst #somaticwork #holidayseason
