Underneath The Glitter

HEY! I’m super very flattered that you’ve dropped by to get a peek at what’s going on inside my creative but easily-distracted mind.

Here, I share my thoughts on bellydance, health & fitness, building a positive mindset, aging gracefully in a picture-perfect society, being or becoming your best self, as well as "hacks" I’ve discovered to get the most out of every day.

So, WELCOME! Dust off a spot (where there’s a bellydancer, there’s gonna be glitter), get comfy and, hopefully, enjoy! ~ Raena

Be Open to New Adventures

Hindsight is a wonderful thing! It allows us to look back and recognize how we could’ve made a different decision, chosen a different path, that might have offered a more satisfying experience. But we shouldn’t limit ourselves for fear of an unpredictable outcome. That would stifle so much - yes, it might prevent some bad things but it would also prevent a tremendous amount a life-changing experiences.
