Go Get A Blazer Man!


Hello. Okay, is it just me or is anyone else loving the blazer look. Personally, I've always loved blazers. The only downside with it's popularity now is that they're getting pricey, but don't freight! There are ALWAYS ways around breaking the bank.

First, there are a BILLION really nice blazers at thrift stores. I mean, seriously, I've seen everything from J Crew to Banana Republic and other really nice brands there. And the colors and textures (corduroy, satin, velvet). I mean, you name it, they have it.

A little dry cleaning and you've basically saved a ton of money and you probably have a better quality jacket.

I got this for really cheap at, of course, T.J Maxx for about $7. I literally wear it everywhere from church to seeing a movie. Blazers can go with ANY look.
Bye :) XOXO

Lovin my fingerless gloves



I have been wanting some of these gloves for so so long.

I didn't shop around for the best price but I still didn't pay too much. I saw some online for $15-$30 bucks but please, I didn't want them That bad. I went to Target and got the beige long ones for about $10 and the short red ones for $9.

These bad boys can spice up any simple jeans and T shirt look or whatever.

Check out my super white nails courtesy of Sally Hansen at Walmart for only $2 a pop. Picked up a few more colors shown on my you tube vid. Go get em' ladys! :)




Still on my getting healthy mission

So...I was doing excellent today until about 5:45pm

Me looking goofy lol :)




MY Healthy Day (or somewhat healthy)

  • woke up around 8:00 (a.m) and did 1 hour of advanced Tae Bo. Seriously, if you guys really want to get in shape you need to get some Billy Blank into your life. He is awesome at making you feel like your about to collapse, but you work your butt off. REALLY!

  • Showered, co-washed hair, made two strand twists, painted nails (made YouTube vid)

  • Ate an awesome bowl of Cascadian Farm Organic oats with banana slices. YUM Oh and a cup of coffee.
  • Did a million errands including laundromat (Finished my take home test before class tonight)

  • OK, this is where I messed up. I was hungry and did not have time to make a salad at home as planned so I made the mistake at grabbing a McChicken and Small Fry from Mickey D's. The only good thing is that I didn't finish. I felt like I was eating an entire Chicken. Reason being is when you don't eat fast food for a long time, it feels like too much when you do. This is coming from a person who was still hungry after a Big Mac Meal just a year ago. Big Improvement. I'll have to get more disciplined about situations like these.

  • After my marketing class I settled down with the last of my banana pudding. So Delish!


    It wasn't the worst day thanks to Billy, but I plan to do much better in the future.
    Toodles! XOXO

My next Victim

I must have this purse. 1. Its sleek 2. The design is very chic 3. It can hold all my crap 4. It's super affordable (under $40) 5. I usually dress simple so fashion bags really spice up my look
YEAH...It's "alot" to the eye but it's the kind of bag you wear when your clothes aren't making a statement.

Will definitely purchase this for my B-Day in November. Go Scorps!

Today has been a success!

Ok... Big Hello to all of you. so... I've been bad lately :( I feel fine but I have been super lazy with my exercising routine, So today I was determined to get a good run in.

My lovely day:


1. Worked, even though it was my off day. I left early (6:30am-10:30am)


2. Jogged (trail is 3 miles but because of construction and detour it was ~3.5 miles)

  • I finished in 45 minutes. I know that's not mind blowing but the trail I jog has more hills than you can imagine so I'm really getting my work-out on.lol
  • Plus I used to do 3 miles in the same time so I've improved :) YEAH!
3. Did a little shopping. Got 2 shirts from T.J max (on sale for $10 and $5 ) and a pair of regular blue jeans for $2 from NBC clothing- yes TWO DOLLARS! They're not anything mind blowing but they fit well and are simple enough to pair with something more popping.

They look rather lame but they fit well and they're versatile.


I absolutely love this shirt and for $5, I couldn't pass it up. Pair it with some jeans, leggings, tights, shorts, whatever you want.
This shirt style is the fashion trend right now. It gives off a slouchy yet fashionable look that's popular today. You can play with this and dress it up or down depending on your bottom piece, hair, and accessories.


Also...

4. Went to class (Principles of Marketing) Brought everyone donuts just for fun. Got out of class early at about 7:45PM

5. Updated my blog (How sweet of me)
It's time to lay it down...Bye!

Really family, Procrastination can creep into your life very unintentionally. I've dealt with this issue for some time. I'm really focusing on doing what I need to do instead of putting things (i.e exercising, studying, reading the bible, etc) off til a later date. It only hurts in the end. Life doesn't wait on anyone so live everyday to the fullest. I plan to. God Bless.

It has been 18 months of natural hair growing and " I"M SO EXITED...AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT".LOL Okay...cornball as usual but really, I flat ironed my tresses and I was even surprised by the results. My hair has grown soooo much. I really hadn't noticed since most of the time it's in raggedy braids, underneath a hat, or just pulled back. Even when it's in a fro it's very hard to tell its growth because of the super tight curls I have. I can't wait until my 2 yr mark. I wonder how long it will be then? Guess I'll try to be patient til that time comes.

I love lips!

4 of myFavorite mac lipsticks: Fleshpot, Viva glam 6,Cherish,and Trimming talk
All are by Mac but bets believe I'm a true believer of drug store product. I also Love NYX and NYC colors.

I even tried my favorite NYC fuchsia color with my Mac "Trimming Talk". You'd be surprised how similar they are. Felt like making a return.lol Oh well, I know to shop around next time.

Fleshpot is discontinued but colors like Creme D'nude and Gel are similar. Enjoy. The colors are so so so much more vibrant than these pictures show. Bye and Be Blessed.

My favorite diva pick: 1st pic: Trimming Talk...Luvs it! 2nd fav everyday pick: Viva glam 6...Must have!
