Women Connect Wednesday | Black History Women Connect

-
Happy Wednesday loves! We made it through to the middle of the work week! I've working to get some things together and I'm happy to share.

Seeing how this month is Black History Month, we are doing a special Women Connect Wednesday. We're connecting you with black women for the month of February. Each week we will introduce you to a new black women to connect with and a black woman fact.

I'm super excited to share with you today's Women Connect Wednesday woman and it is Misty Copeland. If you haven't heard of her she is a American ballerina. She is 1 of 6 kids and was raised by a single mother. She was introduce to the ballet at the age of 13 by an after school program. In September 2000, she joined the American Ballet Theatre and in 2007 she became the company's second African American female soloist in 20 years. In 2015, Misty was promoted to principal dancer, making her the first African American woman ever to be promoted to the position in the company's 75 year history!

Misty as video, A Ballerina's Tale, 2 books, Ballerina Body: Dancing and Eating Your Way to a Leaner, Stronger, and More Graceful You and Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina (New York Best Seller), and a Barbie Doll.

I really hope I did her justice even though I don't feel like I did. I was just way to excited to talk about her that I hope that I made all my points. If you watch video please comment on how you think I did.

Until next time loves!

Of course I included the video for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy!

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,
