Hello, my dolls. Welcome back to the Busy Yet Pretty podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Haley. I hope you all have been doing lovely as always and being busy yet pretty, but let's get into today's episode. I currently am recording at 4 p.m. right now, which is pretty new. I love recording in the morning. So this is a change, but I kind of like it. And I surprisingly have quite a bit of energy right now to record. which I usually don't at this time, but I correct the code why. I have been drinking La Coulogne's Oatrathes and they are the best ever. I'm literally obsessed with them and I 10 out of 10 recommend. They have a lot of caffeine in them. So this must be why people like caffeine. But let's get into today's episode and the weekly review. So for the weekly review, this week I went to a Love Shack Fancy event, which was in L.A. It was at their monthly. Rose location and it was seriously the cutest. They were having a Coachella event and it was so cute. I had such a fun time. I picked out this really cute checkered set. You can see some of the dresses

that I tried on and the sets that I posted in my recent posts. It was just so fun. Next, Ryan and I went to the Grove, which was seriously such a fun time. As always, our usual, we went to the Allo store. Oh, guys, I have a story for you. So, I am an aloe girl. My boyfriend is a supporter of me being an alo girl. But he is not an alo boy. But there is a change. Last time we were at aloe, he tried on a few aloe pieces and tried on these really

cute, like, sweatpants and was obsessed with them. So you know what, guys? I'm an aloe girl and I have an aloe boy. So how perfect is that? Okay. Next, we went to Chillcense, which is a really good pizza place that we always go do at the Grove. Next up, we went to Air One or Air One. I'm not even really sure how to say it, but if you don't know what it is,

Air One of the most expensive grocery stores you will probably ever come across in your life. It's beautiful in there. I loved it. Ryan gave it a 3 out of 10. I gave it a 7 out of 10. Ryan thinks it's not that cool. I thought it was pretty cool, but I would never, ever do my regular shopping there because I'd rather contribute my money to something that is more smarter than spending $40 on yogurt.

I'd probably like to donate that money instead. But I have no hate to people who do shop at Airwant because I loved, love, loved it. Very cute there. Ryan and I bought Bella Hadid's line of Kin kombucha, and we are yet to try it. She had like a morning one and a night one, so very excited to try that. I also picked up a rosewater, which was 750, so that was a little much, but it was super cute. Okay, next we met up with some friends and got ramen. Then afterwards, so we wrapped up dinner about 11, or 1055.

Then Montes was just across the street, so him and I sprinted back in the car, and I sprinted with my heels to the car. We made it in the car, drove straight to Montes, and got there 30 seconds before they close. So I was able to try the oatmeal matcha shake, and it was so, so good. I honestly love the original vanilla better, but it was still so good. And then I also went this week to the Stance HQ, which was so beautiful, literally loved it. And I have been living in the Stance sweatsuit so much. I literally love it. It's so comfy and cute.

The headquarters was absolutely beautiful. It was seriously so cool getting to see everything and how the production was made and just everything. Let's get on to the current obsessions. Okay, my number one current obsession is my Lacalombe coffee. I'm obsessed. They have a La Cologne at Bristol Farms, actually, in their cafe. Well, they use their beans. It's just absolutely amazing.

So I 11 at 10 recommend even Ryan's. said it just is one of the best coffees ever and I'm obsessed and you can still get the little can Lacalum coffees I think Target sprouts and all those stories so I have been drinking those every day next I'm obsessed with avocados I just have been on an avocado kick and I've been loving putting avocado on everything just tastes amazing another current obsession is walking in the morning especially when it's sunny out. I love morning walks when it's nice and sunny and it just feels so good and fun and it makes me happy. But I have been loving some nice little walks in the sun. Another current obsession is not booking or planning too much in one day. I do really not enjoy having so much to

do. I naturally am very a driven, motivated person. I literally would do anything to achieve. my goals and all that, but it is kind of nice to once in a while not overbook myself because I need some rest time and time for myself. So I have been obsessed with not overbooking myself. Another current obsession at the moment is my mind your business planner. I love it. It has like time areas for a certain time. So whenever I have meetings, I can just write it in there. And I just love the layout. It's the prettiest book and I just love it so much. So if If you're looking for a good planner, definitely get the mind your business planner. I have it linked over my modem for you to shop, but I love it so much.

My last current obsession is sweatsuits and little sweat sets. I think they're so cute and I used to be such a hater of sweatsuits, but not going to lie, they are so comfortable and now I'm obsessed. So I've been wearing quite a bit lately. My favorite one is from stance that I've been wearing all the time. and I also love any from Brandy. My goal of the week. So my goal of the week is to take time to buffer in the morning before getting my day started and working out.

I saw a video about taking time to buffer in the morning and just not getting straight into your morning routine because I think it's very, very smart to give yourself rest time and time to just take a moment before you actually get straight into everything that needs to get done. By taking time to buffer, it'll really decrease. your stress level and I just really find it helpful and I've been doing that quite a bit lately so I used to get up and work out right away and now I've been taking time to buffer

getting up walking around and all of that. Another goal of the week is to drink more lemon water. I've been drinking quite a bit of lemon water which I find so good one it tastes so good and it's also so good for you but I've been loving lemon water I know it's super good for your body. Another one is to finish the Atomic Habits book. I just got the Atomic Habits book and I seriously am so obsessed. I love it and it truly has helped me so, so much get better habits. I linked it in my Amazon storefront, which you can find in my link tree. I'm only about 40 pages in, but it seriously has taught me so much. I'm just having such a more positive mindset about habits and everything. So I totally recommend that book.

Another one is starting a Pilates class. And I know I always say this every episode, how my goal of the week is to start Pilates. But this time I'm being serious, I would truly love to start a Pilates class so soon because it would just be so nice and relaxing and fun. I know it's hard, but I just would love to start actually going to Pilates somewhere and just not doing it only at home. Okay, a quote for my five-minute journal. Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, I'll try again tomorrow. I love that quote so much and I love how it's worded and just trying again every single day will help you improve your life and it doesn't necessarily mean a day was ruined because of something. So I just think that's such a good little quote.

A self-love question to ask yourself. When do I feel my best? What am I wearing? What am I doing? Now create that day for yourself. as soon as possible. I love that so much because I really do try to think what makes me the happiest and take action into actually planning that day. Okay, an Apple podcast review. This one is from Sarah. Sarah said, Jaden is such a great podcast host. This is everything I've ever wanted. I love to listen to

her as I go on my morning walk and her amazing outlook always puts me in the right mood. Girlie inspired and intelligent. Seriously, this is the best. Really builds my confidence. Thank you so much, Sarah, for the sweetest review that makes me the happiest. If you'd like to be featured on a review for next week, feel free to leave a review on Apple podcast. Okay, guys, let's get into today's episode, and I think you guys will enjoy it because it is according to this season. It is now, so that season is spring. So today's episode is on becoming the best version of yourself this spring and a spring reset. We are out of the winter blues and the weather is getting nicer, so I thought this would be the most

perfect episode for today. My dolls, spring is all about focusing on what you love and what makes you happy and what is going to make you thrive. So let's get out any toxic energy and things that is making us unhappy and really focus on ourselves and what is going to benefit us. It's getting to be feeling like summer where I live, but it's still spring, a little cold. I live in San Diego, California. So this spring, we are taking care of our skin. So get some SPF. Any SPF is perfect as long as you're applying it to your face and your body. It is just great, especially your face. SPF is a big one. So take time to

invest in some SPF. Okay, another one that I really recommend is oil blotting pads for when it's hot out. It's very easy to get your skin oily. I just love a little oil blotting pad to keep in my purse. Another one is super nice because sometimes spring gets our face all dry or oily depending on how your skin type is, but is refreshing rose water. I love rose water. I will just spray it like throughout the day, makeup or not, and it just makes my skin feel so nice.

and fresh. So this spring, I really encourage you splurge on some new products. It does not mean it has to be expensive. Whatever fits your skin type would be perfect. So I really recommend getting some new products this spring. Another one is saying yes to more adventures and experiences. I really encourage this because it really feels so good to go out and try something new, even if it's outside your comfort zone. I don't think there's one time that I've ever ever. I don't think there's one time that I've ever left feeling sad that I've tried something new. And even if you didn't enjoy it that much or didn't love it that much, at least be proud of yourself that you tried, and that's all that matters. Another big one is to not be mindlessly scrolling on your phone.

If you have a goal on your phone, look at it and then be done. I try to not mindlessly scroll. If you want to, when you are not really doing anything as like free time, then use your phone as much as you want, but if you have tasks to do, I think it's really important to not procrastinate and get what needs to be done and then look at your phone when you have free time. Something that I try to remember is you will honestly remember any life experience more than whatever you look at on your phone. There's times I catch myself being two hours on TikTok and I was like, how did I stay two hours on TikTok? And I literally tried to remember one video that I saw. And I literally can't remember. Like, I was mindlessly scrolling. I didn't really learn

anything. Nothing really benefited me. So I really didn't take much away from that. But instead, if I went on a walk, I can remember, oh, I want to walk. I saw this on my walk. So real life experiences honestly leave you with more memory of something. So I think that's another thought to think of when mindlessly scrolling. Moving on to spring clothes. It is the cutest thing to a nice little dainty dress in the spring. I personally love the brand Daisy. I think that the cutest dresses ever. Every single time I wear my Daisy dress, I seriously get so many compliments. I love little lace dresses or see-through dresses and some other cute ones are from realization and Love Shack Fancy. So all those places have the cutest little spring pieces for this

spring. Okay, another one is a planner. Get a planner for this spring. spring. It makes you feel so much more organized and so much less stressed. You can get any planner that suits you. There's so many inexpensive ones off Amazon that are literally $5. And there's also some that are a little more. I got mine for about, I think, $30 or $40. I don't really quite remember, but it's the mind your business planner. So whatever a planner suits you would be perfect. There's also calendar apps. And honestly, any planner is just so helpful. and will keep your thoughts much more organized. Okay, another thing is spring cleaning.

I love a nice spring clean. Who does not? Of course, it takes time to spring clean, and you need to dedicate some days to do that, but it feels so nice once it's done to clear out clutter that you don't need. My bathroom is something that I definitely need to spring clean. It is calling for my help, and it just has way too much skincare,

and probably old skin care as well. Some personal organizers that I have been loving have been acrylic containers. I think acrylic containers are honestly one of the cutest things to organize with because you can see all the products and it just looks really simple and nice. So getting rid of or donating anything you have would really clean up your space. Whatever you truly don't feel you need, then don't keep it because you can always re-buy it if you have to. but having a very decluttered space is super relaxing and doesn't make you feel stressed out. I'm someone who forgets about products if it's not in front of me,

so I really am trying to figure out what do I want here and what do I really not need. When you have too much stuff, you tend to forget about what you have. Another one is a physical activity, and this is not to look a specific way or to make your body look a specific way, but it's for good health and mindset. It's so nice to start your day or end your day or take a little nice break with a walk or a little workout. It really helps you release energy. It feels super nice to be active and it really helps clear your mind with any stress. You can totally put on a podcast or look around when you're walking or do some yoga and having some peaceful music on.

It will really help you feel peaceful and have mindfulness once you incorporate physical activity into your life. Okay, another thing that you should be doing this spring is finding a new hobby that you enjoy. Spending your time doing the same things can definitely cause burnout once in a while and that is very normal. So I really encourage trying new things and we are doing that this spring. Start finding something to spend your time wisely with and enjoy a new hobby. Look on Pinterest to even find some new hobbies. just to spend your time more wisely with a hobby that you enjoy would be so nice and trying something new all the time can lead you to so many opportunities.

I found this quote that I absolutely loved from Davy Richie, which is a speaker, and he said, Use the weekend to build the life that you want and not to escape the life you have. I love that so much because I know a lot of people view the weekends as the escape, and I love to view it as helping bettering my weekdays and my overall life. It helps me have a better time throughout the week and it really makes the weekends and week just blend in because I'm enjoying all of life as a whole. Remember, whatever current state or situation your life is currently in, it can be changed or improved any time the moment you take action into it. The moment you realize that you can take action into creating the life that you want to live is when your life,

will change for the better. Don't affirm that you have a bad life or affirm that nothing works out for you. Once you start affirming that everything is working out in your favor is when stuff works out in your favor. Why create an identity for yourself that is in your own hands? You can create your own identity and how you want to be viewed as and how you want to see yourself as. I view myself as really hardworking and I receive what I deserve from my hard work and I honestly really do and I'm so thankful for that. And before I feel like I used to have a more negative mindset and this really helped shaped my life and I feel like I really get rewarded for that now because I find myself as a working hard person. So I really think that you should take thought into that as well as if you were one to

usually get bad grades. Stop affirming that oh I'm someone who doesn't get great grades. start affirming that you get great grades and take action into it. Okay, another one is create routines that suit your personal life. Routines are going to be different for everyone because we all have different schedules. And I know that a lot of people view influencers as the perfect life. And I think a lot of people forget that different people have different jobs. And a lot of people who do influencing, for instance, have. more flexible schedules. So don't compare yourself to someone else you see on the internet.

You may not have time for a morning walk because you have work or school. So try doing yoga once you get home or when you have free time. Find what works according to your schedule and what works to you. Everyone has different schedules. Everyone has different routines. What's going to best suit you is according to your schedule. Another thing is to work on something new or to learn something new. I always think it's really good to always work or continue working on new things. Learning new things is so good for yourself and your brain, and it honestly doesn't necessarily have to ever benefit you in your life. Like, you could learn all about how dolphins swim. And let's say you're not into working in that field at all, but you just want to learn about it.

That's great. It does not have to benefit you. but it's great to keep your brain moving and to learn new things. Okay, another one is be grateful. Let's start affirming and praying or having thoughts about us being grateful for what we have in our life. That's something that I really try to do. Of course, everyone forgets once in a while, totally normal. How can we always be perfect? We cannot because we are humans.

So it's really good to try to acknowledge the positives in your life. I love to think of positive things and things I'm grateful for while I brush my teeth or before I go to bed right when I wake up. Journaling, of course, is one of the best things you could do. Surrounding yourself with people you truly enjoy being around. If someone's not serving you great, you can distance yourself from them. I think it's really good to distance yourself from people who are not serving you right. It will not harm them to distance yourself from them and really find who is serving you right in your life. Another thing to do this spring is picnics. Start going on picnics. It can be at your house by the beach. I love the beach. That's a nice one. And on a grass field, I just love picnics. I think they're great for the springtime. This is something that I really have taken part in this past year, but it's to create something to look forward to every single day. It can be making a coffee or a tea. It can be meeting with your friend for lunch, daily affirmations, a morning,

walk. I personally love having a nice little fun drink during the day. I always look forward to it after lunch. So that's something that I always look forward to throughout the day. It makes you have a positive mindset, even having a little thing to look forward to thinking, oh, let me get this work done. And then once I'm done, I can have my drink or once I'm done, I can go meet up with my friend. So something to look forward to is very nice to have when having lots of tasks to do. another thing is for my gut health girlies, tummy health we're saying. For my tummy health girls, such as ones like me who need tummy health is bone broth. I need to start drinking more bone broth because when I did, I found a noticeable difference how much of my stomach was feeling and taking

lots of probiotics. Making sure you're eating the food that your body needs is so, so necessary. my tummy health has been the best ever right now, and this could be a coincidence, but I tried the GT Dave's yogurt, and it seriously helped me so much, and it kind of reads off how it will help your gut and everything. It's helping me so much right now, so I totally recommend that. It's about $5 at the store, and you can have a few servings in it. The last thing I'm going to recommend for becoming the best version of yourself this spring, and having a spring reset, is focusing on. on your goals. Please realize that you are the creator of your life. Once you start visioning the life that you want to live, you will start to take action into that life. I promise you that works.

I would have never imagined the opportunities that I'm receiving now if I didn't envision them a year ago, which I manifested more than I could even say. So please start looking into manifestation. I have an episode on it. So go tune into that. Manifesting is what we are doing this spring. Literally how did I forget to say, but I am 35 on the charts of Spotify for education. Thank you guys more than ever. Like, it truly makes me so happy. When I saw that, I was like, no way. Like, I didn't even know I was in the top 100. And I was 35 in education. Like, are you joking? I am so thankful. Definitely something I manifested. And I was just so overwhelmed with joy. Please know how much your ratings are helping and I truly am so appreciative. Please feel free to leave a rating over Spotify to keep

busy yet pretty on the charts. And please feel free to rate and review over Apple so I can read your review off as well as checking out my Instagram, which is Jaden Haley, and I have it linked in the show notes and busy yet pretty on Instagram.
