We are still in the midst of a whole pandemonium—a.k.a pandemic— and I, like many people am vaxed, masked and ready to conquer outside. Unfortunately, I’m ready to throw in the towel. I am somewhat disappointed.

For much of this week, I have been under the weather. It peaked today and I am trying to take all the vitamin C, elderberry and tea that I Continue reading “Have a Weekend of Wellness”
For a long time, my apartment didn’t feel like home. I have lived here for about a decade, and it’s a great space, but for some reason, I could not find my sweet spot. Continue reading “7 Ways to Shift the Energy in Your Home”
As the number of divorces surge in the New Year, there will be more men and women seeking healing. In honor of National Divorce Day on January 4, I have invited a woman on this journey to contribute. This is Dee’s story in her own words.
“Divorced?!! No way?”
“I would never believe that you two would ever break up.” Continue reading “A Divorce Story: I am Woman, Hear me Roar”
We made it through the first Monday of 2021. I am so grateful to have made it out of 2020, even though I’m still dizzy from the whiplash that entire year gave me. For that reason, I feel I am due for a proper introduction.
I started this blog a little over a year ago, but only began actively blogging in November 2020. Since then the blog has grown, and I’m happy that you decided to take time to read my posts. I hope you stick around to get to know me and also what the future holds for Breathe by Bre.
I grew up in St. Lucia.
I live in Brooklyn, New York. I’ve lived here since I moved to the U.S.A.
Access to everything without having a car. There is so much adventure here and always something to do.
My blog was born out of a journey to wellness and becoming my best self. In 2019, I was struggling to maintain all my roles especially being a wife, mother and student, so I sought out the help of a therapist. Writing has always be cathartic for me, so after therapy was complete, I thought blogging would be a great way to reach out to others seeking tips on mindful living, wellness and personal development.
Based on the Jung Typology Test, I’m an INFJ. I’m an introverted empath and a highly sensitive person. I’m moderately sociable, and I genuinely care about others and their wellbeing, but I get drained by people easily. I enjoy lots of quiet time and my dream is to work from home in my area of expertise.
Psychology with a concentration in industrial/organizational psychology.
No. I don’t like the idea of pets in my apartment. I wouldn’t mind a dog in a larger space, but I have one child who is terrified and the other is slightly allergic, so we can’t have one.
All neutral tones, but primarily gray.
It would have to be France. It could be city or countryside, but I would prefer somewhere in between. I love the French approach to life, work and the language. I may find it a little easier to learn the language since I can read and write a bit in French.
Monk, Psych and Gilmore Girls.
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
Sunset. I’m not a morning person and sunsets are just beautiful.
90s and early 2000s R&B.
Thai food is the ultimate for me, but I love East Asian cuisine in general. The spices, the heat, the complexity. I love it all, especially ramen.
A Jeep Wrangler. They’re small, compact but they last a long time. They adapt to most terrain. It is kind of me in a car. Lol.
Failure, mice and roaches.
In my teens, I was set on being a fashion designer, but after socializing a bit in the fashion design scene, I knew it wasn’t for me. I still love design though.
Tiramisu. It’s delicate and not too sweet.
Eating, cooking, and creating art and craft.
I am not the best when it comes to self care, but even as someone who was staunchly against baths, it has been one of the few things that soothe me. So for now baths do it for me.
I am empathetic, I can connect with people deeply to the point where they’re spilling out their life stories shortly after, and my tenacity.
Now that you know about me, feel free to introduce yourself. Name and state/country.
