Journey Update

It has been a journey indeed, though I can not and will not stop here, neither did I stop there. I have been feeling the ups and downs but the downs have helped me to think about how far I've come.

I have decided to keep faith and pray on what I am feeling no matter what it is. It has helped me to feel motivated that my journey is coming along and I will reach each milestone with greatness.

As well I took time meditate on what has come up on my journey. It was totally amazing. Oh and I got me some Yogi tea, since I've become addicted to tea. I am sharing with you a small token of love.

Be Kind

I've had the opportunity to eat one of these bars a couple time and I absolutely love them!!! Thank you KIND bars for these great all natural bars. We needed this yummy treat in our lives.



I'm on my road to organic living!! Definitely need more of these bars, I've got to be KIND to my body. :-)

First Time Love!!

Today was a good day! Met up with another creative at Connecticut Muffin today. We spoke about loads of things, it was so awesome; from natural hair to traveling and society on a whole (that's a whole other topic).

The best thing of all, it was my first time actually buying anything in Connecticut Muffin and I opted for a Vanilla Chai Latte. and that was the BEST CHOICE EVER!!!


I think I fell in love. I'm through with Hot Cocoa...the latte hit the ultimate spot, perfect just in time for the holidays. It was like a perfect mix of vanilla and nutmeg; giving me that eggnog taste and feel. I love it! So I will definitely be getting in touch with the folks over at Connecticut Muffin a lot more.

New Burn!! Yum


So I recently received this product and when I tell you....I fell in love!!
OMG!

The past summer, I was in search of a fairly priced candle that smelled good so I bought some cheap, sort of generic brands. They were not terrible but they just cannot compare. This blew me out of this world. Another thing that was surprising about this candle was that it was pumpkin; I have never been one of those people that liked pumpkin flavored or scented things. 
I decided, I wouldn't judge a candle by its scent(LOL), so I lit this up and when I tell you I just couldn't get enough. Sitting here typing I am thinking about how GREAT it smells. 

Yummy Pumpkin Cupcake!!
Take a whiff!


I will definitely be purchasing a candle from Bath and Body Works in the future. As well it will be on my Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year/Valentine's Day/Birthday/Just because list. HAH

If you have not tried out one of these glasses of sweet goodness I advise you to go out and get yourself one, two, three, or even ten. Oh, and don't forget to put it on your holiday lists.

Have you reset your life?

I recently spoke about joining KimberlyLuxe and friends on a 3 month journey to self. It came at no better time, as I was dealing with a whole bunch of crap and was just in need of a reset. I am not going to lie I procrastinated for a while about actually starting, then my inner self spoke up. I think it was meant for me to do it. Along the months the journey for me has been a great one. I have been able to dig deeper into me and it feels good. Along with my meditation and improving my being I feel almost invincible. Why? Because I have been learning about myself on a deeper aspect and I am loving every moment of it and myself.

If you have not heard of it or where procrastinating too, you can still reset. Head over to KimberlyLuxe.com and start your journey. Your mind, body and soul will truly thank you. I promise, live that queen in you.

It is real!!!

I'm convinced love is really out there. Though, I wish to find love, I will let it find me. When God is ready for me to receive the blessing of this kind of love I will receive it. I'm on my journey...

Watching these videos did it for me; OMG! After watching them I was truly convinced that love is real and it is out there. These two videos stood out to me because 1) my dream wedding is a destination wedding, I love my trini's dem and 2) the natural hair all in the video, plus it made me teary eyed. Check the, out below:

Veggie Strides!!

So I've been telling myself for quite some time now that I need to eat better and possibly stop eating meat(pork, beef, chicken; some people consider fish meat). It's been 3 days since I've eaten meat and I have been doing really good. I can't wait to become a full fledge Pescatarian. It hasn't been so bad for the three days I've been going, but I totally need more alternatives.

A fellow tweeter recommended I try Morningstar products. I did a bit of research and the products look good already. Vegetarian ribs here I come!!! I'll be sure to share the rest of my experiences on my journey to Pescetarianism. Maybe you can join me too.


Ready to take the next step to a healthier you?

Chocolate Books

** 11/3/12**
Since last week I had been dying to go to Barnes & Nobles for a me date but I was in my usual** procrastination mood. Last night, I told myself I was going to Barnes & Nobles and getting me a peppermint hot chocolate and reading. I went on a quest to find a list of books that might interest me and I'd say I came up with a pretty good list; out of my list I was able to find 5.

I'm super inpatient at times and having to search was pretty annoying but I did it. When I was over actually searching through the what felt like millions of books, I asked for help. By the way it was only two books, I did well!

I was secretly hoping to get an open seat across from a hot guy but I was lucky enough that the hot guy got up. I now had two seats!(Which by the way two elderly ladies sat in.) My peppermint hot cocoa in one hand and my books in the other.

It was pretty awesome scanning through the books I had selected. I really can say I enjoyed my little me time date. Thanks to that me time, I decided that I will be purchasing all used books(those books were outrageous to me). Plus for me!


How do you enjoy me time?

Kindness Challenge Day 2,3,

My first thoughts on Day 2,3: This should be fairly easy to complete being that I am always giving my seat up for people, and I always am thankful for the love I receive on my natural hair blogger/ tweeters.

What I actually did: I did give up my seat to two people and I am not sure how many thank you's I've sent along, it was so many.

My Response: It wasn't at all bad. I really love giving up my seat when I am on the train or the bus. I also always love giving love to my twitter family.

Mahogany Me

Like a fine wine, aged so sweetly,
I am that Mahogany brown.
So deep, with that hint of flare,
I am that brown without a fear.
I wear it with pride along with my crown.
I stand tall in stride,
With hips not daring to hide,
Because they are mine.
I possess that tropical feel,
With that all American strength.
As my natural tress flows freely above me.
I shield my eyes from the whirlwind of my environment.
I am grounded.
The negative inhale, aids me to my exhale.
The energy of positivity,
Life and renewal.
My roots feed my soul with love like no other.
Spreading my love through these great vines,
Greatness within me, beauty so divine.
I am that Mahogany Brown with A Crown.

A tad twisted!

I have to admit the time difference between Singapore and my location are a little off. It's gotten up to about Day 5.. I think but I have decided I wont be sharing it on this blog. The difference is too much for me, but I will continue to complete the tasks daily(when I can). Plus, all the days tasks I usually do regularly. Is this me procrastinating? Idk, maybe, maybe not.

I just don't feel like its as challenging for me....So on to the next challenge. Have to keep it real with you all.

"The whole world knows"...

As I went through my daily blog run, I came across this song on KimberlyLuxe.com. Now let me tell you!! As soon as I heard the intro I felt the instrumentals speaking to my soul. I forgot what I actually went to the site too do; I immediately began searching for the song, and now I feel hooked. 

A damn good looking man, with that voice!! It's like a lullaby to my heart, soul, and body. Well, I'll leave you all to see for yourself. Though, I warn you please don't get hooked, I'm keeping this one for myself. LOL

"The whole world knows, no one can F*ck with us now"
ENJOY....

Smokey

So I recently have been getting in touch with my Queeness; by doing so I've been applying makeup a lot more. A couple days ago I tried applying some eye shadow and it was a fail!

I wish I had a picture to share but I was so embarrassed by how it looked. LoL. It looked like someone socked me in my eye. Better luck next time. I promise I'll master it some day.


Does anyone else have this problem? Or am I the only one?

Giving Life


Ever since I've heard this song it has been giving me major life.
The words of the song and the beats....Super Dope!
Solange is back at it again!
Gotta love her.

I've got so much love to give
A heart like gold
Sometimes too hard to handle
