About Me

Welcome to my blog! My name is Shana, pronounced like Shay-nuh, and I'm probably the biggest foodie you'll ever know. I’m 30 years old and currently live in San Diego with my fiancé and two fur babies. Some of you may know me from my youtube channel and #thepaintedlipsproject; well, a lot has changed since then! I've discovered a passion for health, fitness and all things related to self-improvement, after completely transforming my life. I’m here to share all that I’ve learned, and more, with you.

  • ⚠️ WARNING: gushy post ahead 🙈 ___ I love this gif and the relationship I have with this one. My life is filled with daily laughter because of him #troll 💕 Love is a feeling, but it is also a choice which takes a whole lot of patience and compromise at times. We are far from perfect and we’ve definitely gone through some lows/heartbreaks, but at least we’re still laughing, playing, growing and choosing each other along the way. Thank you Bub, I love you. ___ Fun fact: we met on @okcupid ___ #gratitude #partnership #bae 🙏🏿
  • Amidst all the glam and compliments received during this past weekend (thank you), someone asked me an interesting question about why I no longer make myself up like I used to, on a daily basis. Checkout tonight’s stories to hear a long winded, raw response☝🏿 #tldr - I haven’t “let myself go”, I’ve given myself life! ___ Wearing little to no makeup and my natural hair has been a conscious decision and choice I made this year, once I realized how dependent I was on such items to feel OK about myself. There is a HUGE difference between engaging in xyz because it’s fun or it may boost your (already healthy) confidence, vs. feeling as though you NEED xyz just to be OK or “presentable”. So I forced myself to go without until one day I looked in the mirror and felt happy/proud of what I saw. ___ My defining moment happened a few months ago when I got an opportunity to be in an advertisement this year... I decided not to wear a wig (and an Afro puff is all I can manage). This may sound silly to some, but it was something I would’ve never considered not too long ago. I was the girl who would ALWAYS wear fake hair and lie straight to your face about it having nothing to do with me not liking my own. I also used to be the girl who wouldn’t leave the house without a full face of makeup on. So doing the commercial in my natural state was proof to myself that I’ve finally “made it” ___ I think these feelings of inadequacies is deeply rooted and reinforced subliminally, and directly, through society. I was the little dark skinned black girl who only wanted to play with the white dolls, internalizing a standard of “beauty” that I could never achieve. Life is too short to hate yourself. If you can relate to such insecurities and self-image/worthiness issues, I encourage you to also pin point those “crutch” items and let them go, if only for a moment. Also detox from social media for a bit and be gentle with yourself. Maybe then you’ll see that you are more than enough too, just the way you are 💕 ___ 📸 @itsclarawang ___ #selfconfidence #growth #iamenough #honest #wellness #healthymind #bodypositive #insecure #darkskin #afropuff #selfportrait #me #transformationtuesday

  • I accidentally bought a night gown and wore it as a dress to a Christmas party 🙈 who spends $100 to wear a dress to sleep though? 🤔 ___ As I was getting ready for the party I searched for the “dress” online to see how the brand styled it and was thoroughly confused to see the model barefoot 🤣 then I noticed the item was listed under “sleepwear & intimates”! @anthropologie oops 🤷🏿‍♀️ ___ I rocked it anyways and it received a lot of compliments 🤫I kept it simple with gold heels, dainty jewelry, and a soft glam makeup look. Swipe for pics 👈🏿 ps. Please don’t mind the dress wrinkles, this was pre-iron 👗 ___ #ootd #style #glam #nightgown #anthropologie #fashion #simple #holidayparty
  • #mood Get yourself a little black dress and keep it... forever! ___ #holidayparty #tgif #bathroomselfie #classic #timeless #fashion #style
  • Last night I attended the soft opening of @rushcycle_sanmarcos ft @alishajoelle and it was SO much fun! This is by far the largest studio I’ve ever been to and I’ll definitely be back. ____ On behalf of North County SD, WELCOME! I’m so happy to have you here 💕 ___ #spin #fitness #fun #healthylife #move #sweat #rushcycle #northcountysd #sandiego #sanmarcos #workout #healthymind #wellness
  • There are plenty of reasons why I love my weekly farm box. Besides the obvious convenience of having the freshest local organic seasonal produce delivered to my door, I also love that they reuse and recycle the boxes 📦 and donate any undelivered produce to help feed our community! 🐶🐶 Eddie and Diego love my boxes too. ___ A @dailyharvestexpress box or subscription would make such a great Christmas gift for a health enthusiast foodie like myself!🎄Local to San Diego? Give them a try with my discount codes: “Vegan” = $10 off any order or use “Shana” = 50% off your first box ___ 📸 Photo cred @itsclarawang 💕 ___ #sustainable #seasonalproduce #sandiegofarmers #local #recycle #wholefoods #fitfam #organicproducedelivery #donate #farmtotable #organic #farmersmarket #healthfocused #healthymind #healthyweight #giftguide
  • Mmm 😋 Picked up a salted chocolate, “hipster berry”, and limoncello donut to-go, as my last stop in Boise. They had six beautiful and creative vegan options @gurudonuts Out of the three, Limoncello was my favorite 🍋 ___ Swipe for pics ___ #vegan #vegandonuts #boisevegan #SLMtravels #boise
