You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea because you’re champagne 🍾 being bubbly ain’t for everybody 🙊 hat from @pacsun shorts by @nike jewelry by @readymadejewelry #ifnotnowthenwhen #doitforyourself #unapologetically #neverbackdown #itsyourtimetoshine

This question is my new swear jar— I’m putting $1 in every time someone asks and putting it towards another trip 🤝🏽 SHOUTOUT TO THE MAMAS DOING IT BECAUSE, IN THIS ECONOMY, HOW??? All credit to y’all 👏🏽 To be honest, I’ve never thought more about having children than in the past few years that I’ve been single 🤣 but until that time— IF that time comes— I will enjoy and appreciate being a kid at heart (+ body, because I’m 4’9”) rather than letting societal expectations dictate whether or not I’m where I “should” be 🙃 #20twentyME #funaunt #stillgrowing #aworkinprogress #doitforyourself #chooseyourownadventure

ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF 👋🏾 not for the new year, but to celebrate 80k of my new friends here 🥹 I’m not a regular influencer, I’m a cool, I-ended-up-here-on-accident-but-it-makes-sense-that-I’m-here influencer & here are 10 things about me I think you should know: • I might act like I’m 12 and look like I’m 25, but I’m turning 35 in 2 weeks 🎉 and I’m HYPED • I am a proud first generation, Filipino-American who isn’t in the medical profession 😂 • for my entire life I’ve been told to tone myself down & I thank god my ADHD couldn’t be bothered to remember, nor did I care to listen lol • I’ve been single for the past 4 years & coincidentally the most successful I’ve ever been 👀 so….. • I was a bartender for nearly a decade until I was furloughed due to the pandemic (I still bartend for private events 😉) • I made funny videos for my personal account & started going live (who didn’t?) everyday to raise money for a couple of charities • I ended up creating this account just to share the journey of a girl learning how to rollerskate in her 30’s • Rollerskating legitimately changed my life because it taught me the literal + metaphorical value of falling down & getting right back up • I shifted this page to sharing more of everything I’m passionate about, which is empowering & inspiring people to make their younger selves proud • I’ve had a lot of amazing opportunities come my way all because I decided to “post the video” and share my most authentic, unapologetic self 👏🏽 The real point here is that everything really changed when I decided to STOP giving a fck and START living my life, according to me. And if you’re reading this, my ultimate goal is to get more of you to do the same! ANYWAY, I’M SO HAPPY, GRATEFUL, EXCITED, & ELATED YOU’RE HERE. THANK YOU 🫶🏽 Can’t wait to see the journey we go on together this year 🥰 — if you got this far, comment & tell me something about you please 🥹 this is a safe, albeit chaotic, space lol #aboutme #reintroduction #newyearbetterme #20twentyMORE

“When are you gonna have kids?” I AM THE KID 🫡 (ok but last slide is for my future self to take into consiseration 👀) #junedump —— not to brag, but what a time to be alive & child-free, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦. While everyone else is getting married or on their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd child, I’m still working on and focusing on me. There’s life to be lived on both sides of the spectrum and happiness to be had either way 🙏🏽

The actual answer to “how do you stay so motivated?” 🤭 CUTE OUTFITS. If you’re short like me, there’s a 99.9% chance you struggle to find things that fit you the way they should. But @popflex_active is FOR THE GIRLS and makes it so every size feels supported, snatched, and super-cute 🥰 Part of investing in yourself is investing in things that make you feel GOOD. It’s worth it and you won’t regret it 👏🏽 #ifnotnowthenwhen #doitforyourself #shortgirlstyle #workoutbutmakeitcute #popflexactive #clothinghaul #asianownedbusiness #aapiowned

POV: You see me waving to the animals— ARE YOU JUDGING OR JOINING? 👀 IDC if you’re 5 or 35, you’re never too old to pause and make time to play. Because that right there is the difference between existing and LIVING ✨ PLEASE DON’T LET YOUR AGE DICTATE YOUR DEMEANOR. and don’t let your fear of looking stupid hold you back from enjoying the things your younger self enjoyed 🫶🏽 #ifnotnowthenwhen #nevertooold #nevergrowingup #ageisonlyanumber #innerchildhealing #innerchildcomingout #itsthelittlethingsinlife

We went from “she’s so annoying” to “that’s my best friend” 🥹 #sistersgoals TAG YOUR SISTERS 👯‍♀️ You can’t make this up y’all— I REALLY WAS CRYING FROM GRATITUDE and then this song came on the radio 💀 That video is about to hit 3 million views and all we can think is how lucky we really are to have each other 😭 because the comments are a reminder that we all need a sister, blood or friend, to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves 🫶🏽 #sisterlove #sistersquad #sisterhood #sisterlylove

My lower back might be 35, but my energy is 💯 running this one back in lieu of all the comments from women on my last post grieving getting older 🥲 While it’s absolutely fair to feel that way— largely due to societal standards— let me remind y’all that we don’t stop playing because we get older, WE GET OLD IF WE STOP PLAYING! So keep your hopes high & spirits young because you are NOT too old and it’s never too late 👏🏽 #ifnotnowthenwhen #ageisanumber #energyiseverything #keepgoingkeepgrowing

Talking to your sister can be therapy. But you may also need therapy after talking to your sister 🤣 Yes, our type of sisterhood involves tough love because @itskranysworld would be talking me off the ledge too 🙃 I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: GETTING OLDER IS A PRIVILEGE 👏🏽 because the fact is 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 gets to and, as far as I’m concerned, everyday above ground is a day worth celebrating! — permission was granted to share this moment. we hope it reminds you that while you’re not alone in your feelings about aging, you are so lucky to still be here and we’re lucky to have you 🫶🏽 #sisterhood #sisterlylove #thirtyaf #thirties #gettingolder #agingisaprivilege

We might not be long, but we are strong #shortgirls TAG YOUR SHORT FRIEND 🫶🏽 The struggles have honestly only made me more innovative and independent. I hatedddd being short until I redefined it as being FUN-sized— the world is my jungle gym and I do, in fact, have more fun 🤭 (For legal purposes, this is a joke and fully encourage dedicated time to exercise OKAY. If you want an actual workout routine video, lmk 🤣) #pollypocket #funsized #morefunforever #shortgirlproblems #shortgirlsolutions
