Hi, beauty. Welcome back to the Yoga Inspired Life podcast or welcome to the podcast.

If this is your first episode that you're listening to, happy Valentine's Day, if you're listening to this in real time. This episode is coming out on February 14th. And happy love day,

regardless of when you're listening to this. I thought it would be fun to do a little episode

about romanticizing your life. See what I did there, Valentine's Day,

self-love, romanticizing your life. Am I painting a picture for you? I actually wanted to do

this episode regardless of Valentine's Day because I came across a video on Instagram from somebody that I follow will not name her.

I don't want to call her out. But in the video, she was critiquing not my video, but somebody

else's video or maybe this trend that is happening on social media right now with people

making aesthetic routine videos. I am a lover

and creator of aesthetic routine videos. So I didn't take personal offense from this girl

bashing this, but it just got me thinking because in the video, she basically was like

aesthetic routines are not real, they're not achievable,

this is just fake, this is fake for social media, there's no purpose behind this, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I think she also said something like, this isn't sustainable and, you know, not every day is going to look aesthetic.

And here's the thing. I do agree, not every day is going to look aesthetic. And here's the thing. I do agree. Not every day is going to look

aesthetic. There are definitely days where I wake up looking like a hot mess with a bun on my head

that looks like a half-eaten croissant. You know, not every day's aesthetic. But I do think that if

curating your life in a way slash romanticizing your life in a way where you create aesthetic routines and habits makes you feel good, you should definitely do that.
