Today my husband joined me for my morning walk. Was a bit slower because we took two of the dogs that wanted to smell the world but it was a good walk anyway. Moving, laughing and starting our day connecting.
Life requires many things….
It’s what you build and create around you that guides how you feel each day. Not feeling good. Make a change. Mindset matters.

There is nothing better than running to the garden to pick a fresh tomato for a tomato sandwich
1 slice of toasted rye grain bread and mozzarella with fresh tomatoes 🍅
Eat for nutrition and fuel but damn this tastes great too.

Self care is important these days. Our health should be our primary focus but we often allow other things to take priority. I know I am definitely at fault for this many times.

Today I am working from home doing paperwork, a life plan meeting and nail clients. I am blessed and fortunate to be able to work from home and make time for many things. I am also very blessed to be able to work outside and even while floating in the pool. Sometimes work includes searching for new recipes for clients, coming up with modifications for exercises for those starting a new workout routine. Or even just making contact with clients finding out what they need help and motivation with.

Aug is our start for a new routine. Tim and I will do a month of a new routine of self care. We like to change it up each month and try new things. This month will include Kayaking, bike rides and more walking. Plus being mindful of food prepping, less food waste and less eating out.
We work so hard to keep my daughter Mary on a strict health and wellness routine that it’s silly we dont follow suit with her. So now we will.
Follow my page for daily updates and random information.

Don’t forget to come sign up for Aug health coaching motivational group.
The flyer will be posted soon.
Either a neighbor or living states away. You can be a part of our group. You just have to make time for you and show up each day to LIVE your best life.
Who is ready ??

Hi everyone !! Happy Saturday !!
Today I had three lovely ladies to pamper. It’s all about prepping the nails and taking your time to file the acrylic to make the nails look as natural as possible.
I hand file to create the perfect shape and thickness. Move the arch for the stress area and do my best to make the nails look like they are as natural as can be.

Come meet me next week at the Pine Bush First Friday when my husband will perform from 4-7 T.J. Santiago
And I (Missy Santiago) will have a book making nail appts and little items for sale.
Free raffle Gift basket when you come say hi 👋
Book and appt next Friday with me and get a coupon for your 2nd service

Also Fri 8/1/25 I will be starting a new month of health coaching, a weekly walking group and an weekly evening zoom meditation 🧘‍♀️

Happy June !!!
Already starting our 6th month of the 2025 and if you look back these last 5 months what have you accomplished?

Did you increase your water ?
Increase your daily movement ?
Start taking supplements ?
Change a bad habit ?
Start a new routine ?

What have you done or maybe today is your day and today you start…

For me the 1st is like a new month reset. To start a new routine, project or something to benefit my health.

Who is ready to do the work and take the journey ?
I can motivate you but I can’t do the work for you.

It’s time I also make some changes and better myself. Some people will say of I’ve tried that and i failed but I say: okay so let’s start again.

I plan to post my June journey right here and home you will be motivated to join me. Make a list of 20 things todo:

Restorative yoga will be added to my training and I look forward to developing a program to teach after my training. A great summer program to start.
