STARTING NOW..... REBRANDING THE BLOG - CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS


Here's the plan: today's curated feed - updating roster weekly (your girly collection & reference)

Welcome to our 30's: a community club

I write about real-life lessons, late bloomers living, career pivots, growing older with intention, soft life living, self-care, main character living and all the wonderful things that make our 30s feel like coming home to ourselves.

A NOTE FOR MISSES

If you’ve ever felt like your twenties were a blur of trial and error, and your thirties are about finally figuring it out — while still feeling lost occasionally — then you’re in the right place. Women in their 30s can find support in our online content.

MISS WELL ENERGETIC

A sophisticated, well-rounded, and independent woman living in Toronto, Miss Well Energetic navigates life, self-care and love with effortlessness. Our philosophy is to convey a sense of luxury, a sense of fulfillment professionally and personally, with an emphasis on our wellbeing and the unique experience of being single at 30 years old. 

The feeling of grieving my youth is real. It’s weird that people my age are real adults and I’m still holding on to my youth. I’m grieving for my youth right now. It’s so hard to lose your youth when it is your identity. It was something you could hold on to. Being twentysomething was status. Now it doesn’t hit right anymore to use my youth. You can’t be your 20 year old self again. Your youth is like a shield, when you make mistakes, that's when you use it. It's time to move on to a new chapter, and the youth you had will not be able to accompany you. There’s a new change in your life and adult responsibilities will always be there. As the youngest millennials, we are turning 30, and that's when your youth leaves you.

The Exploding phase is over. I can’t use it anymore. I’m just twentysomething that just exploded. It’s officially over now because exploding is in your twenties not in your thirties. It’s time to get deeper into adulthood and start building. I mean by building is your career, financially, housing, travelling, relationships, living your everyday life and figuring things out for yourself.

Being thirty is like going deeper into adulthood. You will be an adult with adult responsibilities. It’s different for everyone in today’s climate. We live in the most unaffordable society in history. Where paying now and later is taking over and it’s causing you to own nothing. More subscriptions and less ownership are going to be normal. Adulting is tough when the world is only getting more expensive. Being an adult is more difficult than ever, so not having it all figured out before 30 is okay. You can start again or make it up in your 40s, 50s, or 60s.

There is no longer any trace of your old self. Your thirties mark a new chapter in your life. You are young again. You're now 30 years old, which means you’re young again. Now you can watch TikTok stories of people in their 30s with a new outlook. As a result, you feel better about this chapter. Social media can make you feel less alone with your problems sometimes. Your life is a series of challenges, obstacles and adventures that can lead to success on your own terms. Goodbye youth, hello to a new playbook designed for you. It is important to keep trying, following your heart and doing the work on your own.
IT'S NOT OVER, IT'S DIFFERENT NOW.

YOUR TWENTIES ARE OFFICAL OVER....

My voice will no longer represent the twentysomething generation, and it's the end of an era. I will no longer be a part of the 20's club. This is the biggest chapter that I had ever had to close in my life. My life is changing now because twenty something playbook doesn't cut it anymore. It's time to move on and level up into my thirties with a blog. There's a fresh start calling me now and I'm ready for it. It's so scary because my life is uncertain.

Starting Miss Well Energetic has changed my life. It has changed how I see myself and what I want to do long-term. After leaving college my life turned upside down and never bounced back. Those things never happened to me. The big girl job, the relationship, I have the ability to thrive regardless of my circumstances. My life has taken on a whole new meaning for me now that I am living it to the fullest. The world is on fire and Canada is not what it used to be. I have developed my voice, a sense of who I am, letting go of my old self and updating my dreams. I have a successful twenties in my eyes: college life, getting experience, being stuck, working on myself, living intentionally, mourning, finding my voice, setbacks, investing in my home life, barely working a job, rejection, redirection and making things happen in the real world. I have created my longest and every project and I know myself as who I am at the end of my twenties.

My voice as a twenty-something year-old blogger is officially over. I was successful in finishing my twenties. I will never have it all together in this world. I'm so happy for myself and the work I have done. As a close of this chapter, I'm becoming an in her early thirties blog writer.

MY FINAL ENTRY: BREE-ANN GITTENS

Sadly, my twenties are coming to a close. It’s been a roller coaster ride and a nightmare. A journey full of promises, reality checks, mental breakdowns, ruts, small victories, good times and not archived adulthood. Being a late millennial woman born in 1995, I have Gen Z tendencies because I'm young. The experience of leaving college was a rude awakening and a reminder that you are responsible for your own life and nobody cares about you.


It was a journey to clarity at 29 years old. I found clarity and it took me 9 years to find what I needed. There was no book, manual, advice, tools, or person to help me. It was me showing up, letting go of everything and living my life. I was waiting for my life to start but I had to change. It was important for me to be content with what I had, and to be free from the pressures of adulthood. I live an untraditional lifestyle. I will be writing my own playbook. Living in Canada taught me that you are on your own and it is your responsibility. 

My clarity is working for myself full-time, traveling, funding my lifestyle, long-term singleness and family planning.  


Change is something I embrace more and more as I become older. Change is a tool and direction in your life. Today's climate is constantly changing and adapting to it. It's not easy being an adult when everything is changing around you. A sign of change is that you want more than that when it starts. I see change as something that holds values. I am changing my life because I am working every day. Change is now part of my lifestyle I live my life on my own terms and I need to change constantly and embrace the new change of being in the unknown.


My return to myself had happened at the most unexpected time. It felt like I was back to being me. I could feel it in my body and watch it happen through my eyes. It was like I was coming back to myself. I don't have to impress anybody anymore and I can be my wired self. Life will test you and it will knock you off course. My romantic life cost me who I was. It took me a year and a half to come back to myself. I was letting the situation destroy me. Then I realized I'm an amazing person and I can see that. I know myself and I love myself. Being yourself is everything. I welcome the new me and my new outlook. I felt so much better when my mind, body, and soul were all in harmony again.


PS. I'M A NEW PERSON NOW. 




FINAL NOTES: Saying Goodbye to my twenties

It's time to say goodbye to my twenties and my life is not what I want it to be. I choose myself and I choose to live my life with less money but managed. I falling deeply in love with myself. 

We final got ad sense and wish me luck. Love you all, thank you for the support.

The Great Lock-In -  No Official Rules


Think of it as your “main character boot camp” season — you’re shutting out distractions to level up your mind, body, and lifestyle.


Here’s your structured guide to build it out:


🌙 THE GREAT LOCK-IN: OVERVIEW


Theme: Discipline + Glow-Up + Self-Respect

Duration: 4–8 weeks (or longer if you want to make it your lifestyle)

Purpose: To become your best self quietly — no distractions, no chaos, just self-mastery.


⚖️ GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1. No comparison. You’re in your own lane — eyes on your own paper.

2. Romanticize the discipline. The vibe is cozy grind, not burnout hustle.

3. Minimal input, maximum output. Less scrolling, more doing.

4. Protect your peace like it’s sacred. Energy is currency.

5. Routine = freedom. The more structure, the more control you feel.

6. Silence is strength. You don’t need to announce your growth.

7. One percent better daily. No perfection, just steady progress.


🧘 DAILY HABITS


Aim to keep these as your “non-negotiables.”


MIND

• 10 min morning journaling (intentions + gratitude)

• 20 min reading or podcast on self-growth

• 5–10 min mindfulness or prayer/meditation

• Limit screen time (no phone for first/last 30 mins of the day)


BODY

• Move your body (30–45 mins daily walk, workout, stretch, or dance)

• Eat real meals (no skipping; aim for nourishing, not punishing)

• Hydrate (2–3L water)

• Sleep 7–8 hours


LIFESTYLE

• Tidy your space daily — clean environment, clear mind

• Dress for your best energy (even at home)

• To-do list with 3 priorities per day (no more)


🗓️ WEEKLY HABITS


These reset and re-align you.


Sunday Reset:

• Clean space + do laundry

• Grocery + meal prep

• Journal reflections (what worked / what didn’t)

• Set next week’s focus (1 personal, 1 career, 1 self-care goal)


Midweek Check-In (Wed):

• Quick reset: review goals, re-motivate

• Reaffirm your “why” — reread your intention


Friday Night Ritual:

• Wind down — face mask, candlelight, self-date

• Gratitude list for the week

• Plan weekend activities that fill your cup (rest + joy)


🎯 GENERAL GOALS


Customize to your personal version of success:

• Create daily structure and discipline

• Improve mental clarity and energy

• Build consistent habits (routine > motivation)

• Strengthen confidence through follow-through

• Reconnect with femininity and inner peace

• Save money and simplify your lifestyle


🔥 KEEPING MOTIVATED

1. Name your era. “The Great Lock-In” is symbolic — write down what it means to you.

2. Visual cues. Vision board, Pinterest mood, or notes on your mirror.

3. Track progress. Use a habit tracker or bullet journal — seeing checkmarks keeps you hooked.

4. Reward consistency. Every week you stay consistent, do a mini treat (new candle, coffee date, cozy night-in).

5. Stay in your cocoon. Remember: this is the quiet season before your next big breakthrough.


The key to having a successful lock-in, you must follow your own rules and here are some ideas.
