How the Rich Girl Mindset Elevates Your Wellness Journey
Tuesday, April 8
Hey besties!
Let’s get one thing straight—wellness isn’t just about celery juice and cute yoga outfits. It’s a lifestyle. And if you’ve been tapping into that Rich Girl Mindset, then you already know: how you think changes how you glow
So today, we’re diving into how this mindset shift isn’t just about financial abundance—it’s about emotional, physical, and energetic abundance too.
What Is the Rich Girl Mindset Anyway?
It’s not about flashy spending or living above your means. The rich girl mindset is about choosing quality, moving with confidence, and protecting your peace like it’s designer.
It’s the energy of:
-
“I deserve to feel good daily.”
-
“My health is a priority, not a luxury.”
-
“I’m investing in myself every single day—mind, body, and soul.”
And that kind of energy? It naturally upgrades your wellness.
How This Mindset Transforms Your Health Habits
1. You Treat Wellness as a Non-Negotiable, Not a Treat
Rich girls don’t earn rest—they schedule it. They don’t skip meals, they nourish themselves like royalty. That includes daily rituals like sipping on Intra Juice first thing in the morning (yes, queen—hydrate & glow)
2. You Prioritize High-Vibe Energy
From workouts you actually enjoy, to supplements that support your mood and hormones (hello Intra Lifestyle products), you choose what feels good. You’re not in the business of suffering for results. You want results that flow.
3. You Say “No” Without Explaining
Protecting your peace is part of your wellness plan. Whether it’s saying no to a draining group chat or opting out of toxic food habits, the rich girl mindset reminds you: you owe no one an explanation for taking care of yourself.
4. You Invest in Wellness Like You Would a Chanel Bag
You don’t skimp on your health. That might mean a monthly wellness kit, organic groceries, or daily Intra Juice to support immunity, digestion, and vitality. You see your wellness tools as assets, not expenses.
Wellness Is a Lifestyle, Not a Phase
When you embody the rich girl mindset, you’re not just looking good—you’re feeling good, consistently. You’re no longer chasing results. You’re flowing in a lifestyle that honors your highest self.
So take that long bath. Sip that Intra. Turn your phone off. Breathe deeply. Move slowly. Choose you—over and over again.
You’re not just on a wellness journey, love.
You’re on a wellness elevation.
Stay radiant,
Grace

Growing Beyond an Unfulfilling Marriage
Saturday, April 5
There comes a time in every woman’s life when she must pause and ask herself: Am I truly living, or am I just surviving?
For years, I believed that staying in my marriage was the "right" thing to do. I told myself that sacrifices were part of love. I buried my dreams, dimmed my light, and silenced the voice inside me that whispered, “There’s more to life than this.”
But lately, something in me has shifted. I've started to redefine what rich means to me. It's no longer just about money in the bank or material things — it’s about emotional freedom, peace of mind, purpose, and personal growth.
And the truth is, I can’t step into that richness if I’m constantly feeling emotionally drained, undervalued, or stuck in a relationship that no longer nurtures who I’m becoming.
A Rich Mindset Begins with Radical Self-Honesty
One of the most powerful steps in embracing a rich mindset is being radically honest with yourself. For me, it meant admitting that I’ve outgrown the version of myself that stayed silent just to keep the peace.
I’ve learned that peace bought at the expense of your own soul isn’t peace at all — it’s self-abandonment.
Growth Demands Space
Just like a plant can’t thrive in a pot that’s too small, I’ve realized that I can’t grow if I keep shrinking myself to fit into a marriage that feels more like a cage than a partnership.
I want to thrive — spiritually, emotionally, financially. I want to build a life that reflects the woman I am becoming. That requires brave decisions. That requires faith.
You Are Not Selfish for Choosing You
Let’s be clear: choosing to grow out of a relationship that limits you isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.
It’s saying, “I matter too.”
It’s saying, “My purpose matters.”
And most importantly, it’s saying, “I trust that God didn’t bring me this far to live a life half-lived.”
What a Rich Mindset Looks Like
Believing you are worthy of more, even when it’s uncomfortable to pursue it.
Taking accountability for your healing and growth.
Letting go of what’s no longer aligned — no matter how familiar it feels.
Trusting in abundance, not scarcity — in love, life, and opportunity.
Surrounding yourself with people who pour into your vision instead of draining your energy.
Moving Forward, Not in Fear — But in Faith
I'm not writing this because I have it all figured out. I’m writing this because I’m choosing courage over comfort. I'm choosing to believe that the best version of me is on the other side of this difficult chapter.
If you’re reading this and it resonates, know this: you are not alone. You are allowed to want more. You are allowed to pursue a life that reflects your dreams and honors your soul.
This is not the end — this is the beginning of your rich girl era — the one where you choose healing, growth, purpose, and power.
And I’m right here with you, walking the path, one brave step at a time.

Curly hair is beautiful, unique, and full of personality—but let’s be real, it also needs a whole lot of TLC. As someone who has spent years trying different products and routines, I’ve finally found a go-to that works wonders for my curls and that is the Bremod Argan Oil.

My Curly Hair Care Routine with Bremod Argan Oil
1. Cleansing & Conditioning
I start with a sulfate-free shampoo and a rich conditioner, making sure to finger-detangle while my hair is still soaking wet. Hydration is key for curls, so I never skip deep conditioning at least once a week!
2. Towel-Drying (with a Twist)
Instead of using a regular towel, I use a microfiber towel or an old cotton shirt to avoid frizz and breakage.
3. Applying Bremod Argan Oil
While my hair is still damp, I take 2–3 pumps of Bremod Argan Oil and smooth it over my curls, focusing on the ends and dry areas. Sometimes I mix it with my leave-in conditioner for extra moisture.
4. Styling & Defining
I use my favorite curl cream or gel to define my curls. The argan oil helps lock in moisture and gives my hair a gorgeous, natural shine.
5. Air-Drying or Diffusing
Depending on my mood (and schedule), I either let my hair air-dry or diffuse on low heat. No matter what, my curls come out soft, bouncy, and frizz-free.
My Honest Review of Bremod Argan Oil
If you’re curious about trying it out, here’s a quick breakdown of my thoughts:
Pros:
-
Lightweight and non-greasy
-
Instantly softens and smooths curls
-
Helps reduce frizz and adds shine
-
Smells so good!
-
A little goes a long way
Cons:
-
May feel too heavy for very fine hair (use less!)
-
Not always available in smaller stores—best to order online or from resellers
⭐ Overall Rating:
4.8/5 Stars
Bremod Argan Oil has truly elevated my curly hair game. I love how it nourishes my hair without weighing it down, and it works well in hot or humid weather too. Definitely a must-have in my beauty stash!

I usually get mine from beauty supply stores in Cebu or Shopee/Lazada. Make sure you’re buying from a trusted seller to avoid fakes!
