Today’s message is a little SELF-REFLECTION CHECK-IN because y’all already know I’m about to tell y’all to take care of YOU! 😂💗 Yes, we have ALL the things going on outside of this space — family, work, school, kids, responsibilities, LIFE… chile, the list be LISTING! 😂 But in the middle of taking care of everybody and everything else, PLEASE don’t forget to take care of YOU. 🫶🏽 And y’all KNOW me… I’m always on the move! 😂 If I’m not working, I’m at the gym. If I’m not at the gym, I’m doing something else. Basically, I be acting like I got 48 hours in a day! 🤣 Welllll… yesterday was definitely my “GIRL, SIT DOWN!” wake-up call. 😂😭 As y’all know, We are all experimenting and I’ve been experimenting with VIP, and because I’m actively in the gym 5–6 days a week working toward my goals, I decided to research VIP to see if it could help support my breathing/airways while exercising. WELP… I did a little TOO much yesterday. 😩😂 I ended up in the hospital because I started experiencing some abnormal heart palpitations, which then triggered anxiety. Now let me tell y’all — I am OKAY! 🙌🏽 My bloodwork? Spectacular. EKG? Spectacular. X-rays? Spectacular. Everything they tested? SPECTACULAR!😂👏🏽 They couldn’t find anything concerning in the tests. Then I remembered… OH YEAH… I TOOK VIP! 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 Once I put the timing together, the symptoms made a lot more sense as a possible reaction to what I had taken. I was also prescribed medication for the anxiety, which helped me finally calm down and get some much-needed sleep. And today? I feel completely normal! 🙌🏽 No palpitations, no crazy symptoms — I’m feeling like myself again. 💕 BUT this is exactly why I always tell y’all: RESEARCH AT YOUR OWN RISK. 🗣️ Just because something is being researched or talked about in the research community does NOT mean it’s automatically risk-free. Your body can respond differently than someone else’s, and sometimes you don’t know how something is going to affect YOU until you experience it. So please, please, PLEASE listen to your body. If something feels wrong, don’t just brush it off. Take care of yourself and seek medical attention when you need to. ❤️

Let's have a REAL conversation about something so many of us experience but don't always talk about: Feeling overwhelmed. And I'm not just talking about major life events. Sometimes it's EVERYTHING happening at once. 👩🏽‍👧🏽 Kids need you. 💻 Work is stressful. 🏠 The house needs attention. 📱 Your phone won't stop going off. 💰 Bills need to be paid. 🍽️ Dinner needs to be figured out. 🏋🏽‍♀️ You still want to get your workout in. ❤️ You're trying to take care of everybody else. 😩 And somewhere in there... you're supposed to take care of YOU. Eventually your brain starts saying: “I CAN'T DO ONE MORE THING!” And then nighttime comes... You finally get in bed. Your body is tired. BUT YOUR BRAIN? Wide. Freaking. Awake. 🧠 ANXIETY VS. BEING OVERWHELMED They're related, but they're not necessarily the same thing. 😰 ANXIETY Anxiety can involve excessive worry, fear, nervousness, physical tension, racing thoughts, and feeling like something bad might happen. 🫠 OVERWHELM Feeling overwhelmed can happen when the demands being placed on you feel greater than your available time, energy, emotional capacity, or ability to manage them. And sometimes they feed each other. Stress → racing thoughts → poor sleep → less emotional resilience → more stress. That's where the cycle can start. 👩🏽‍👧🏽 LET'S TALK ABOUT KIDS Parents can experience a unique type of mental overload. You might spend all day: “Mom, Mom, MOM!” 😂 Then you finally get the kids settled... And instead of relaxing, your brain starts running through tomorrow: ➡️ Did I pack everything? ➡️ What are they wearing? ➡️ What time is practice? ➡️ Did I respond to that teacher? ➡️ What's for dinner tomorrow? ➡️ Did I pay that bill? ➡️ I forgot to buy something at the store! Your body may be physically exhausted while your brain is still operating at 100 MPH. 💻 AND THEN THERE'S WORK... Work stress can follow you HOME. You may leave the building... But mentally? You're still at work. You replay conversations. You think about tomorrow's workload.

Im just trying to get back in the groove of things. I stop doing most of my peppers except Tirz. I just see so much negative stuff on tik toc about peppers testing bad and vendors blah blah. I want to stack my favorite the Prime ignite, and ghkcu with kpv. I haven't did a stack in weeks. What other pep would go good with this stack need energy.

Peppers GB9 is scheduled to close and be submitted on September 4th! 🎉 I’m releasing the order form early since it's a holiday weekend, so everyone has plenty of time to get prepared and submit everything without feeling rushed. 🙌 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdz2ovwAqoFfzwfIB1vHgbZBzWgUA60Y8pI4A6L_jWWiEctPw/viewform?usp=header ⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER: This will be the LAST Group Buy before holiday shipping times typically begin to increase. I will still be hosting one Group Buy each month, but as we move into the holiday season, shipping delays can become more common. That means there may be some overlap between Group Buys depending on how quickly shipments move. I wanted to give everyone a heads-up well in advance so you can plan accordingly! 💕 Last year we experienced EXTREME holiday shipping delays, and while we may still receive our Group Buys on our normal timeline this year, I'd rather set expectations early than have anyone caught off guard. As always, I'll keep everyone updated every step of the way—from submission, to production, to shipping, to delivery. You know I'll keep y'all in the loop! ❤️ Thank you all for being amazing, and let's make GB9 another great one! 🎉📦
