Hungry for a Comeback

After a long hiatus, Comida Vibes is back!

A few months ago I hit pause on Instagram. I needed a reset and the Lenten season was the perfect time to step away and focus on me.

As my carpal tunnel ceased, I noticed the toll Instagram was taking on my mental health. Constantly I was comparing myself to influencers and friends, wishing my life looked more like theirs. I experienced FOMO and jealousy as I doom scrolled through stories and feeds.

Instagram became a subconscious habit. When I opened my phone I'd immediately navigate to the colorful camera logo, regardless if I was just on the app a few minutes before.

My Instagram hiatus made me realize how much time I was spending on the app, and even planning pictures to post. Instead of living in the moment I was just living in the app, and that's no way to live.

It brought me back to my word of the year: return. My time away from Insta allowed for a reset; to step away from the blog and focus on my homecoming.

In my Instagram-less state I turned to Pinterest to fulfill my scrolling needs. On the app I found a ton of different recipes to try and I'm excited to share what I made! Stay tuned for more comida vibes coming soon :)
