I'm Back & I'm Better !!!

 

It is the ending of the crazy, chaotic, eventful, unforgettable year of 2021 ! 

I absolutely love this time of the year; the cold, the leaves, holiday behind holiday makes me feel really good. My nephew for whatever reason googled me and this blog came up and after reading through some old post, I realized I missed this. It was started 2011, fell off 2016.

& I"M BACK !!!! 

Freshly 29 years old (let me wipe my tears) as of October 17th.... I am in a weird space in my life. I have accomplished some major goals that I prayed for multiple times a day back in 2010, such as my own apartment (5 year anniversary March 2, 2021), having a vehicle, a job w/ benefits and a 401K and for the past year, putting effort into starting up a small (ME only) cleaning and organizing business for commercial and residential properties named Fresh Start Cleaning & Organizing. 

Along with working in education, I have been semi successful, exploring ways to get my name out there, creating an actual LLC, working on business cards, just attempting to get my name out there. 

I am excited for my future but VERY anxious at the same time. 

I'm sure that part is normal. 

I'm excited to start back having an outlet for my nonsense, whether it is viewed or not.

I've signed back up for school with the goal of completing my degree once and for all; juggling all my interest before I'm old (Lol) such as P&C insurance licensing (Property & Casualty) as well as exploring real estate. For the past month studying for the P&C  license is like learning a foreign language. The possibilities/ benefits are endless yet challenging. Also with expanding my career, starting therapy (oddly I'm really excited about), going to church more, exercising and eating better.

Look forward to MANY MANY more post. 

I'm one of those people that think my opinion matters.

WELCOME BACK to my life. 

I'M BACK !!!

I'M BACK!!!!! 

It has been far too long without any entries and that is too change NOW. 

I am very excited to say my hiatus is over and I am going to be putting more time, effort and energy into blogging and creating a YouTube channel based on Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle.

I am in a critical transition in my life and am very excited for opportunities that I am working on and I hope to grow my site and create a successful channel.

Check back for daily post.

KANYE WEST AKA YEEZY !

"I'm like a broadcaster for futurism, for dreamers, for people who believe in themselves," West said. "We've been taught since day one to stop believing in our own dreams. We've had the confidence beaten out of us since day one, and then sold back to us through branding and diamond rings and songs and melodies – through these lines that we have to walk inside of so as to not break the uniform or look silly or be laughed at. So I hope that there are people out there laughing. Laugh loud, please. Laugh until your lungs give out, because I will have the last laugh."


I seriously admire Kanye West; the confidence this man has makes me want to dig deep and prove ish to naysayers that hasn't been in my corner. Reading this article (link below) inspires me to block out what negative people have to say; especially the people that giggle after you tell them a dream or a goal you are looking forward to accomplish. I don't agree with everything Kanye West says and some of the stuff he stand for however, I adore his ability to want to transfer into other fields beyond being a musician. Also, the passion he holds for all of his future endeavors. Yeezy may go on media binges and is very vocal on what he believes is right but, one thing you have to admit is the man is a creative genius. 
He knows how to inspire.

Miss America 2014

How amazing is it that Nina Davuluri, 24 won Miss America 2014 as the first Indian American winner! History was definitely made Sunday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey. However the "backlash" this woman got after she won her title was mind blowing; people could be so disrespectful and very racist at times too.
This should be something that is being celebrated, she's a beautiful and intelligent woman whom is now making a difference within her chosen charity. Instead of worrying about her skin color or where she's from just congratulate her. I am not of Indian decent but I was excited for her. There is a little girl out there who is looking up to her saying if she could do it and actually make it, so could I.

 

 

 

 

 

Truly inspired by Nina Davuluri.

MY SKIN CARE ROUTINE

 




. Expert Sensitive Gentle Cleansing Wash- $4.69
. Expert Sensitive Gentle Refreshing Toner- $4.19 
. Expert Sensitive Hydrating Moisturizer- $5.19 

 I've been trying a new skin care routine for the past week and I think I am loving the brand "Expert" which can be found at Target. I've only been using this product for about 2 weeks and so far so good (: Their products are also very affordable.
I never used a toner before but I actually like it and wish I grabbed one sooner it feels more moisturizing and it gets the extra dirt, makeup and grime off that your cleanser  maybe didn't catch before moisturizing.
I do recommend.

COMING FULL FORCE !

I've been missing in my blogging world lately from balancing jobs and full-time school but it is SUMMER VACATION! Even though there is no such thing as "summer vacation" once you graduate high school and sadly I did 3 years ago. haha However, no school right now so I'm an open book.
I'm coming FULL force !

I've also been really entertaining the idea of having a YouTube channel.
This is a summer of passion and I will work on nothing but passion projects.
On the up & up!
Stepping out on faith.
