Join me for my first solo-hosted workshop! 🎃💥

Last fall, I took myself on a pumpkin smashing solo date because I was carrying a lot that I knew I needed to release. I felt so free and liberated after smashing that pumpkin to oblivion, and I want to create a safe space for other girlies to join me this time and experience that feeling too.

So, I present to you: Untethered. A guided self-love & pumpkin smashing workshop centered around letting go of what’s no longer serving you so you can reconnect with yourself in a lighter way.

Come solo or bring a friend and get ready to let go of some things that you’ve been holding onto and leave feeling untethered.

🍂 Your ticket includes:

• 1 large pumpkin
• Materials to write with
• A bat to use during the experience
• Guided self-love activities
• Guided pumpkin smashing
• Guided breathwork session
• Food
• Drinks
• Goodie bags
• Surprises & more! 🤭

📍Espada Park
1750 SE Military Dr. San Antonio, TX 78214 📅 Saturday, October 17th ⏰ 4:30pm - 6:30 PM

‼️This workshop is for the ladies only!

Tickets are very limited and available through the link in my bio 🎟️

It wasn’t always like this though, girl. I used to be TERRIFIED to do anything by myself and going out to eat alone was extremely high on that list.

I used to see other people eating alone and say “that would never be me” and that’s exactly how it went for majority of my life because I was petrified of it.

Until a volatile relationship of mine that I was unhealthily attached to and very codependent of ended and I realized I had no life of my own. My life was his life, especially since we were basically conjoined at the hip.

At that point, I had no choice but to figure out how to live life on my own and how to do things alone. I eventually ended up wanting to challenge myself. I wanted to grow and learn how to do things by myself. Without a man. Without friends. I knew my fear of doing things alone and my codependency on others were holding me back. I wanted to grow out of that.

And it all started with me booking my first table for one in 2021 and I haven’t looked back since. Sure, it was VERY uncomfortable at first but anything that’s new and unfamiliar usually is.

Now, I’m quick to go and eat out by myself and I absolutely love it. I say all of this to say, if you’re afraid of eating out alone, start small but start so you can grow to become comfortable with that and your own company as well. by @smittenoverself

The Art of Solo Dates [S3 E2]: Social Club 💭🤸🏾‍♀️

Going to places solo doesn’t necessarily mean you have to stay solo the entire time. Especially if you’re wanting to meet new people on purpose. You’ll show up solo, of course. However, if your intention is to connect with others, you more than likely won’t leave a social club event that way.

You’ll leave with new connections and get this, new connections with similar interests as you because you met at an event that piqued both or all of your interests.

To find a social club near you, you can search “social club in (your city)” on this app, the clock app, Eventbrite, Posh, Sweatpals, any search engine, and even Facebook events.

SATX girlies, @createher.collectives_ hosts super cute events every month. Which means there are plenty of opportunities to attend one, find your people, and have so much fun in the process 💕

Choosing yourself should be a nonnegotiable.

And I don’t mean in the way of just reposting cute quotes about doing so on social media.

I mean in the way where you have to make the hard decisions even when you don’t want to but you know it’s the best thing for you.

In the way where you have to walk away from something you ultimately thought was for you. In the way where you have to double down on the promises you made to yourself and the boundaries you made for yourself.

To not go back to what hurt you, broke you, or fumbled you.

Choosing yourself should be the norm. Especially if you know what it feels like every time you don’t. by @smittenoverself

The Art of Solo Dates [S3 E1]: Paint by Numbers 🎨

Girl, solo dates don’t always have to be a night out on the town. Whatever your vibe is, you can absolutely turn a paint by numbers kit from @diy_artclub into a super cute solo date experience without even leaving the house.

Paint + sip.
Paint + music.
Paint + a movie.
Paint + an audiobook/podcast.
Paint + your prerogative.

This solo date idea is perfect for the homebody girlies or those times when you really don’t feel like being away from your space but you’re still wanting something enjoyable to do.

A paint date at home is the perfect solo date for beginners. It’s also calming, can help you decompress, and gives you something enjoyable to focus on, even if you don’t have a creative bone in your body. You don’t need one for this, girl 🤌🏾

{ mini vlog } • your sign to start getting your hands on some physical media.

I’ve been wanting to start a small dvd collection for a while now and I’m finally doing it, girl. I was like a kid in a candy store in there and I have no shame about it 😂

This definitely took me back and made me feel all the nostalgic feels that I love. Excited to continue adding to my personal collection and to start finding places to actually rent DVDs from as well (for the real BB experience).

First order of business though, finding all the seasons of my other comfort shows “A Different World (1987)” and “Living Single” and the rest of the seasons of “Girlfriends”🍿📀🤸🏾‍♀️✨ by @smittenoverself
