Hey! We are already wrapping up Chapter 1 of 2021 Hey! We are already wrapping up Chapter 1 of 2021 this week. I’m still focused on my three words: FLEXIBILITY, CREATIVITY + PERSEVERANCE. 📌 FLEXIBILITY this month has meant adjusting my pace. That meant doing less sometimes while being more present. This was a hard one for me. I like to be busy but I was noticing that my body wasn’t agreeing with that plan. So, slower but steadier was a better pace. 📌 CREATIVITY this month meant reorganizing my work space to clear clutter to allow for creativity. I donated home decor that was no longer serving us. Also, I got some new pens 🖊 instead of always looking for one! 📌 PERSEVERANCE this month meant making time to do what’s important. To do things I’ve putting off. For instance, I filed for Liv By Viv to become an LLC! I had putting it off for awhile. Feels good to get that done ☑️. How are you doing with your Chapter 1 of 2021? ——————————————————————————— 🇩🇴 ¡Oye! Ya estamos terminando el Capítulo 1 de 2021 esta semana. Todavía estoy concentrado en mis tres palabras: FLEXIBILIDAD, CREATIVIDAD + PERSEVERANCIA. 📌 FLEXIBILIDAD -este mes ha significado ajustar mi ritmo. Eso significaba hacer menos a veces estando más presente. Este fue uno difícil para mí. Me gusta estar ocupado, pero noté que mi cuerpo no estaba de acuerdo con ese plan. Entonces, más lento pero más estable era un mejor ritmo. 📌 CREATIVIDAD este mes significó reorganizar mi espacio de trabajo para despejar el desorden y permitir la creatividad. Doné decoraciones para el hogar que ya no nos servían. Además, conseguí algunos bolígrafos nuevos 🖊 ¡en lugar de tener que buscar uno siempre! 📌 PERSEVERANCIA este mes significó hacer tiempo para hacer lo importante. Para hacer cosas que necesitaba hacer desde hace un tiempo. Por ejemplo, solicité que Liv By Viv se convirtiera oficialmente en una LLC. Tenía planeado hacer esto por un tiempo. Se siente bien hacer eso ☑️.
The color☀️ (or I guess combo) of the year is The color☀️ (or I guess combo) of the year is perfect to jumpstart the week - Yellow ☀️ & Gray ☁️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I asked you in my stories about yellow. Seems like so many love it, have a certain tone they like or feel like it doesn’t work for them. What are your thoughts on yellow ☀️? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This dress is from @amazonfashion from #gracekarin I’m wearing a size xxl. This dress comes in an array of colors. My trench is from @tjmaxx. You can find the dress in my LIKEtoKNOW.it & Amazon Shop! Go to link in Bio. http://liketk.it/36LB6 #liketkit @liketoknow.it ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ——————————————————————————— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🇩🇴 El color☀️ (o supongo que el combo) del año es perfecto para comenzar la semana: amarillo ☀️ y gris ☁️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Te pregunté en mis historias sobre el amarillo. Parece que a muchos les encanta, tienen un cierto tono que les gusta o sienten que no les funciona. ¿Qué piensas sobre el amarillo ☀️? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Este vestido es de @amazonfashion de #gracekarin. Llevo una talla xxl. Este vestido viene en una variedad de colores. Mi trinchera es de @tjmaxx. ¡Puedes encontrar el vestido en mi tienda LIKEtoKNOW.it y Amazon! Enlace en Bio.
And.. I adapt 🌊 When I was younger I remember And.. I adapt 🌊 When I was younger I remember my girlfriends saying I was “too nice” in relationships or that I would move on from things too easily. I saw that as being flexible 💁🏾‍♀️ and I still do. However, now, my ability to adapt and be flexible, I think, is my SUPERPOWER 🦸🏾‍♀️ 💥 💪🏾 ! It’s something that has carried me through difficult situations. It’s gotten me through the current quarantine life we are in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s a quality you have that now you see as your SUPERPOWER 🦸🏾‍♀️?? I bet you will say a quality that someone else has & didn’t perceive it as a SUPERPOWER. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This beanie is from @hm (I was pumped to be able to wear it), my jeans are from @bananarepublicfactory, top is from @fashionnova , coat is from @justfabonline & my boots & belt are from @targetstyle . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ——————————————————————————— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🇩🇴 Y ... me adapto 🌊 Cuando era más joven, recuerdo que mis amigas decían que era "demasiado amable" en las relaciones o que dejaría las cosas con demasiada facilidad. Lo vi como algo flexible 💁🏾‍♀️ y todavía lo hago. Sin embargo, ahora, creo que mi capacidad para adaptarme y ser flexible es mi SUPERPODER 🦸🏾‍♀️ 💥 💪🏾. Es algo que me ha ayudado a superar situaciones difíciles. Me ayudó a superar la vida de cuarentena actual en la que nos encontramos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ¿Qué cualidad tienes que ahora ves como tu SUPERPODER 🦸🏾‍♀️ ?? Apuesto a que dirás una cualidad que alguien más tiene y que no la percibió como SUPERPODER. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Este gorro es de @hm (estaba emocionado de poder usarlo), mis jeans son de @bananarepublicfactory, la parte superior es de @fashionnova, el abrigo es de @justfabonline y mis botas y cinturón son de @targetstyle
Bodysuits & Leggings - This has been one of my uni Bodysuits & Leggings - This has been one of my uniforms for the weekends. #Ad Especially if the bodysuit FEELS good! This one is from @spanx - I love it. It works with leggings, jeans, skirts - you name it.

Funciona con leggings, jeans, faldas, lo que sea. ¡Sabes que me gusta un buen mono! #spanxstyle ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Llevo el body de tanga de manga larga Suit Yourself en talla 1x. http://liketk.it/36G1c #liketkit @liketoknow.it ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I miss that... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was I miss that... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was looking through my camera roll in my Google photos (do you do that sometimes) and found this picture from a year ago. This was when my sister 👯‍♂️ and I went to an art 🖼 gallery, @hauserwirth , in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles. We took some pictures in the area, enjoyed the art, and then had some lunch. It was one of those perfect days. I miss that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I miss going to museums, taking the metro 🚇, and carefree stroll around DTLA 🌇. I miss when the biggest issue was which restaurant we were going to try out since it had good Yelp reviews 😂. I think we can have gratitude 😄 and grieve 😞 -simultaneously. It’s ok to feel both. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I particularly enjoyed one art installation they had up when we went. It’s hard to capture it on my feed. Go to my stories to see it. I think you will like it! #fbf What do you miss? http://liketk.it/36B8t #liketkit @liketoknow.it ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ——————————————————————————— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🇩🇴 Extraño eso... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Estaba mirando fotos de hace un año (lo haces a veces) y encontré esta. Fue entonces cuando mi hermana 👯‍♂️ y yo fuimos a una galería de arte 🖼, @hauserwirth, en el distrito de las artes en el centro de Los Ángeles. Tomamos algunas fotografías en la zona, disfrutamos del arte y luego almorzamos. Fue uno de esos días perfectos. Extraño eso. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Extraño ir a museos, tomar el metro 🚇 y pasear sin preocupaciones por DTLA 🌇. Echo de menos cuando el mayor problema era elegir qué restaurante íbamos a probar, ya que tenía buenas reseñas de Yelp 😂. Creo que podemos sentir gratitud 😄 y llorar 😞 al mismo tiempo. Está bien sentir ambos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Disfruté particularmente una instalación de arte que tenían cuando fuimos. Es difícil capturarlo en mi feed. Ve a mis historias para verlo. ¡Creo que te gustará! #fbf ¿Qué extrañas?
