reLX with Lex

Something to think about this election season… 🗳️

We talk a lot about wanting leaders who will advocate for us, protect our well-being, set healthy boundaries, and recognize when people need rest and support.

But I think it’s also worth paying attention to how candidates value those things in their own lives.

Leadership requires pouring into a LOT of people… and you can’t continuously pour from an empty cup.

So while you’re learning about the people asking to represent you, pay attention to the whole person, their values, their priorities, their actions, and yes… how they talk about taking care of themselves and the people around them.

Put wellness on the ballot. 💜🗳️

And regardless of who gets your vote… don’t forget to vote for YOU and your self-care too.

P.S. If they don’t get massages, I personally have questions about their decision-making🥴😂

P.P.S. And to whoever is out here giving these campaigns all this money… 👀😂

It appears you may have a little extra disposable income. 🥴 I’m not running for office, but I AM accepting contributions to the Alexis Needs To Pay Amex and Student Loans Off. 😂😂

No political promises will be made. No campaign signs will be purchased. Thangyaaa 😂💜

Happy Monday! 💛

Cane’s sells chicken fingers. That’s the thing. 😂

You can get them in a box, on a sandwich, with fries, Texas toast, Cane’s Sauce… and coleslaw (which nobody but my mama is asking for. 😂)

But the point is, they stay in their lane.

They didn’t decide they needed burgers, wings, tacos, loaded fries, and 47 different appetizers to make people see their value.

They found what they do well, and they do it well.

There’s a lesson in that.

You don’t have to keep adding more to prove your worth.

You don’t have to offer everything.
You don’t have to be everything to everybody.
You don’t have to exhaust yourself trying to prove you’re valuable.

Sometimes the answer isn’t more.

Sometimes it’s getting really good at what you already do and letting that be enough.

Stay in your lane. Perfect your recipe. And quit adding stuff to the menu just because everybody else is. 💛

Massages are for rich people. You are a rich person. Book your massage 💜

✨May our delulu come trutru✨

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how there are so many people in my life that I genuinely love, appreciate, admire, or am just thankful crossed my path….but I don’t know if I actually tell them enough.

So I’m trying to be more intentional about giving people their flowers while they’re still here. 💐

And just so we’re clear, if you randomly get one of these texts from me, please know my texts will NEVER require a response. 😂

Sometimes what stops me from reaching out is literally the thought of having to keep the conversation going afterward. 🥴😂 I can’t be doing all that texting anyway…I have to preserve these hands! I have massages to give.

And voicemails count too! Text somebody and say, “Don’t answer your phone, I want to leave you a voicemail.” 😂 Tell them everything you want them to know and let them keep it.

Because sometimes being able to reread a sweet text or listen to a voicemail again later, especially on a day when you really need it, can be the perfect little pick me up. 🥹💜

I encourage you to do the same.

Text somebody. Call them. Leave the voicemail. Tell them in person. Make a whole Facebook post if that’s your thing or keep it completely between the two of you.

It doesn’t have to be public to be meaningful.

Just tell people how you feel about them while they’re still here to hear it.

Because one day everybody is going to be gathered around saying all these beautiful things about us at our funerals and we won’t hear any of it.

Give people their flowers while they can still appreciate them💐💜

So many of us wait until our body is hurting to give it attention. We wait until we’re exhausted to rest. We wait until we’re overwhelmed to slow down.

Book the massage. Take the day off. Say “I love you.” Send the text. Give the compliment. Book the trip. Buy the flowers. 💐

Things that are REAL disrespectful during a massage 🥴😂

My stomach-for waiting until the room is DEAD quiet and I’m working by your head to start growling like I haven’t eaten in 6 business days. 😭

My feet -for randomly forgetting how walking works and tripping over themselves…or kicking the massage table. 🫠

My bottle holster- for swinging around and smacking the side of the table when everything was peaceful. 😒

And my chair?! REAL disrespectful for making that little Baymax-losing-air sound every time I get up. 😭😂

But you know what’s NOT disrespectful during your massage?

✨ Your stomach growling
✨ Unshaved legs
✨ Unshaved underarms
✨ No pedicure
✨ Dry or rough feet
✨ Your nose running
✨ Needing to blow your nose
✨ Falling asleep
✨ Snoring
✨ Needing to adjust or get comfortable

Your massage is not a beauty appointment. You do NOT have to “get ready” for me. Come exactly as you are. (The ashier the better🥴)

I promise I’m way too busy trying not to trip over my own feet to judge yours. 😂💜

reLX, relate, release💆🏽‍♀️

I’m suppose to be editing content🥴. I took a break because I got tired of redoing stuff and saw this trend so me and Lex-AI decided to do it😂. I think the second pic is from the 90s, I used up my water for the day so I decided not to do any AI edits with it 😅😂.

I labored for Labor Day and I wouldn’t have it any other way…..but if I worked for somebody I would have been a very angry potato if I had to work🤣🤣

Happy Labor Day 💜
