Happy New Year

-
Happy New Year everyone! I hope the start of your new year is going well! Mine started with some good news! I am turning dirty 30 this year and I wanted to get some of this weight off and become bikini ready. So, I started working out around Thanksgiving. The goal was to work out the 5 days I had to go to work and rest on the weekend. I did pretty good until the craziness of my work schedule picked up for the holiday season.  I went from working out from 5 days to like 2 days a week around Thanksgiving. Then was able to pick it back up and then the craziness of Christmas started... oh dear! I officially didn't work out until last week Wednesday! So, 2 weeks no work out!
First off I would like to say I am not the working out type because it bores me.  But, I got myself motivated to keep at it. I could see the difference in my clothes. My jeans went from fitting to baggy. Luckily, it's cold here and I have been putting leggings on under my pants so you can't tell the difference that much. And my belt doesn't fit! Lol, I am using one of those belts that you loop in and pull! Just had to have to wear those belts as a kid and hated it!
So, I went to the doctor and found out that I lost 10 lbs!!!! I am super excited and proud of myself! I know 10 lbs is just a start but it's a good start! And it shows me that I was able to lose weight during the holiday season! I am differently going to keep this up! I have 2 months to my birthday and I want to look really good in a bikini!  Here's the thing I don't want to get skinny. Then why work out you ask if that's not your end result? The answer is I want to become tone and healthy. So, losing weight is just the beginning and toning is the next part.

Shea Moisture Shea Butter Vegan Lip Balm...Wait! Can We Talk?

Can we talk for a second? So, I just so happened to be on  Pinterest  and this picture of a lip balm crossed my screen. It was the  Shea Moisture Shea Butter Vegan Lip Balm  in Coconut & Hibiscus and African Water Mint & Ginger. Pause. I must get it... both flavors... I then check on Target & Walmart to see if I can get it in store. Yes, I can. I purchased it from my local Walmart and couldn't be any happier. Open it up apply it to my lips. What is that smell? The taste... What the heck is in this lip balm? Can I be honest for a second? I don't like it. Ok, don't get the pitch forks out just yet. I'm a Shea Moisture fanatic. Shea Moisture is always my go to, my wishlist, my it gets me every time Walgreen's has a bogo sale. But, here me out for a second. I don't like it for the following two reasons, it smells and tastes like castor oil to me. It has the faint smell of the Coconut & Hibiscus but the smell that overpowers everything else is t

Hello July: Well Wishes and Thoughts

Hello July and loves, I hope everything is well and July is being the best to you. We have officially made it through two birthdays and 4th of July. Bash's birthday was a success. Everyone had a good time. We were able to celebrate Sly's birthday with a impromptu BBQ. I'm a little disappointed that he had to cook on his birthday and not to mention I wasn't able to be much help because I had to work. We were able to enjoy everyone's company in coming together to celebrate life's moments and make memories. We literally drank for 5 days straight! Talk about a good time! Fourth of July was good because I got to see it through the eyes of my son who was finally old enough to see fireworks. He truly enjoyed it and I enjoyed seeing the excitement he had seeing them. July is our "busy" month I like to call it because it is a birthday every week and a party to celebrate every weekend. I was a little upset with myself because I didn't post anythi

Hello September

Hey Loves,  I do hope that everything is well with you all.  I hope your September is starting out well and your August ended the way you needed it to. August for me was definitely a very busy month. It started with a world wind of things going on. We were able to see and spend time with family which is always plus in my book and travel. Stories about that to come later. The start of September has been productive. I've started to throw things away and clean my house trying to prepare for the winter months to come. I'm not ready for it to get cold but it's coming. We celebrate my brother and nieces birthday. I was even enlisted to make Jell-O shots. That will be up on the channel for Cocktail Friday's this month. I'm glad Mercury is out of retrograde because maybe now I can get some things accomplished. For a brief period of time I felt like I couldn't complete anything. I am currently sitting on 6 videos that I need to edit to get up on the channel so,
