First workout of 2024 complete. 11 days into the New Year officially but it's a start... RIGHT!? 😅

Busy is nothing new to me, but lately things have been on another level. Balance just doesn't exist. With every problem solved comes 5 more. My to-do list keeps growing.

I'm okay though! At the end of the day, this is a good "problem" to have. I just need to find a sustainable solution...soon. 

How are you guys feeling? ❤️

Best compliment of the night: “Did you get a boob job?”

Hahaha no but chicken cutlets, a corset top, and a little weight gain will do it 👍

I really felt like a 1950s debutante Barbie at the Asian American Awards with my big tulle skirt and tall white gloves! First time ever wearing a petticoat and wow WAS IT HEAVY. Also, I always kinda wanted to know what a dress that couldn’t fit into a car looked like and well, now I know.

Oh but you know what I don’t know?

How do you pee?

😂

No seriously though! How did the European ladies, princesses and queens do it back in the day bc I held it in all night. There is NO WAY I was gonna let that tulle touch the floor of a public restroom! Plus how, like HOW does one even navigate the nether regions without sight!?

Alright currently at the new office settling in! It still needs some finishing touches, but things are starting to come together! OMG you guys the new dressing room... It is looking SO good! We're exhausted, but seeing my vision IRL is totally worth it. 

TTYL!

Life. It’s been…absolute insanity. Like the really good kind of insanity but the really intense kind of insanity. The kind that you dream of, but the kind that will break you if keep going like this.

Last week I was honored as one of  @YouTube 's OG Asian American creators, alongside some iconic legends. I was supposed to prepare a speech…but in a room full of people who I had once admired from afar who then came to be my real life friends, I decided to speak from the ❤️ instead.

My life and my career today would not be what it is without that first 10 minute Pilates video I posted on YouTube in 2009. Isn’t it wild how the universe works? Pilates, YouTube and you guys brought me back to my childhood dream of becoming a fashion designer…something I was told I’d NEVER succeed at…and yet here I am, living the most intense version of my dream. So intense that it’s about to break me.

After the gala, Sam and I had to tend to some real world duties. In my literal evening gown and heels, we went to go check on a paint job (we’re in the middle of moving into a new office for  @popflexactive ) to make sure the contractors did their work.

It was then that I asked Sam to shoot me amongst the construction because it was a perfect representation of us TRYING to harmonize the extremes in our lives:

The contrast of dream and reality…
The juxtaposition of elegance and chaos…
The push and pull between a thriving business and a balanced life that does not exist…

This is us right now.

Truly thrilled. Yet truly exhausted.

I’m grateful for all of it, and for what’s to come. But I know in my bones that if I don’t slow down I will break down.

Forever wearing bell bottoms with boots because look at them legggssssss for daysssssssss

This week I had the pleasure of speaking at  @YouTube  HQ for their Women’s Summit, then got to slide down the YT slide which was fun and all until I realized I totally killed my perfect white boots 😭😭😭 R I P 🪦🪦🪦

In the lobby, YT had one of my original yoga mats displayed in a glass box. Seeing that mat made me time travel back and realize how much of an evolution Blogilates has been through. From posting my first Pilates video back in 2009, to now 14 years later, running  @popflexactive  as CEO and Head Designer - thank you for still being here with me on this wild journey. ❤️

Final slides are an ode to my new favorite possession.

Guys, I hate doing my own hair because I’m so bad at it. Like, really, really bad. But then a few days ago my good friend  @Guy_Tang  showed me this hot brush thing that he swears by. I was skeptical that I wouldn’t be able to handle such a device but oh. em. gee. Guys. When I tell you I’ve never felt more confident and beautiful after doing my own hair. This is the first time in my life. EVER!!! Highly recommend. And it’s a fraction of the price of the Dyson (which I own too) but find a bit too complicated for my skill level.

Living out of a suitcase this week. See you in the next state! 🤠
