I have to say, I'm proud of myself for posting everyday this week like I planned. I really don't know how some bloggers do this everyday because it was a lot of work. I was up late nights editing, waiting for stuff to upload, filming and so on. I have a goal of doing Vlogmas next year so I guess this is practice lol. I'm so excited for Christmas and more excited for my Christmas break next week with my son. Let's get into how I made out with my goals this month. Filter through Twitter Follower and tweet at least twice a week myself (the repost from Instagram don't count lol) I was going through people that I follow and honestly don't remember requesting to follow some of them lol. I got rid of close to 200 people on my list. Some people posted to the same things, don't tweet anymore, spam accounts and so on. It was hard to keep up with my feed and I really want to utilize Twitter more to my advantage. I have been tweeting more and trying to interact

The only thing I don't like about the new year is when the gyms get so crowded for the next couple of months! Like where did all these people come from? Lol! I will probably be one of those people lol. It seems like 2016 has gone by super fast! It was full of a lot of good and bad stuff and I have no complaints. I got through the year still employed, roof over my head and clothes to wear. I learned so much about myself in the past year and looking forward to applying those lessons to my life. I'm glad I finally learned how to be patient and wait for things to happen when they are supposed to. I can't wait for 2017 because of my upcoming wedding!! I can't believe it is coming up and I'm excited and nervous. I'm taking on a new role as a wife now and I hope just because you make your relationship legal I'll say, it doesn't change us. I know I have been all stressed about wedding planning but the goal is to stay married and happy. I know we will do just tha

I can't believe that Christmas will be here soon! I need to start wrapping my gifts soon and so happy I finally got the tree up. Well, my son reminded us that it had to be up so Santa can put the gifts under the tree lol. It has been a while since I posted my beauty samples and I have so many to go through lol. Let's get into the reviews. Ayers Body Polish in Pampas Sunrise Box It Came From: Birchbox Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 25.00 Review: I really love trying new body scrubs. I have tried Ayers body butter before and really loved it so I knew I would love this as well. I like that it is not abrasive at all and leaves your skin feeling super smooth and soft. Sometimes I don't like the coarse, rough body scrub and want something that feeling a little more soothing. I probably would repurchase this. Evologie Intensive Blemish Serum Box It Came From: Ipsy Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 35.00 Review: You

Try Getting Up When Alarm Goes Off I was really on and off with this one. There were some mornings where I was up and it felt great to have everyone washed up, dressed and still had some extra time in the morning. There were other mornings where I would hit the snooze button too much and get up too late. I'm glad that I have e

It has been so cold and windy lately, I'm not ready for winter lol. Well, I know I haven't updated you guys on the wedding planning lately and I wanted to have things in place before making any announcements or updates. We have decided to change venues and the wedding back to the states. It was somewhat of a mad rush to book a space. I got a little frustrated at some point because the plans were changing and I was worried about everything and if plans were going to stay concrete. I can breathe now because we officially have a venue! I felt like I was starting all over again with making appointments to visit venues, doing walk through, asking all those questions again and breaking down each price to make sure we were getting the best value and won't spend outside our budget. Our original date was not available anymore so we are now getting married in June of 2017. It was good that we have a later date so we have some more time to plan. So now it is back to deciding on center

CLICK HERE TO WATCH MY VIDEO!! That is it for my November Favorites? What were you loving in November? Comment below and let me know. See you Friday!!

It is that time of the year again. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Of course I love eating most of the day and spending time with family and friends. It seems like this is the only time of the year when we reflect over what we are thankful for but I feel we should be thankful everyday. Not trying to take away from Thanksgiving but sometimes we take the simple things for granted and I am guilty of that. There are people out there who do not know where their next meal is coming from, when that job will come through, if there will be enough money to pay all the bills, if they will have roof over their head and so on. I get so bent of shape and stressed over things that I should be more thankful. I have a place to call home, I have a place of employment, I have means of transportation (I don't know how my car is still going but I'm thankful it still runs lol), I have clothes and shoes to wear and I have people who love me. Things may not be rainbows and sunshine but it

My fiance is one who likes to tell me some surprises before they happen but he was great at keeping the day he proposed a secret lol. One day he sent me a calendar invite for a special night and I thought we were just going out to eat and hanging out by ourselves. He had to tell me one day that I was going to the ballet to see my idol dance, Misty Copeland!!! I was super happy and couldn't believe it. I've been wanting to get to the ballet for a long time but I couldn't wait to see her dance! I actually didn't know what to wear to the ballet and had to do some research on what to wear. I was under the assumption you had to wear a ballgown and be really fancy lol but as long as you were presentable. I was so excited that day and just couldn't wait to get there. The ballet was at the David H. Koch Theater and it was so beautiful in there! We actually had floor seats close to the stage which blew my mind! We couldn't take pictures or film during the performanc

You know, in light of what has been going on I am determined to keep up my positive attitude and keep moving forward. There are some thing we cannot control and are out of our hands. Yes things may have not gone the way that you want but our lives will still go on, we still need to be respectful to each other. Anyway today I am bringing you the vlog from the the event I attended last month. You can read that post  RIGHT HERE!! CLICK HERE TO WATCH MY VLOG! This is a bit on the long side so grab a snack and I hope you take something away from this and learn something new! See you guys Friday!

It is crazy how fast stores are setting up for Christmas already! I'm not ready to hear any Christmas music until the day after Thanksgiving lol! Today I'm bringing you another post powered by BrandBacker. *This post is my opinion after using and testing the product. Let's get into my thoughts on this facial cleanser. Powered By BrandBacker This facial cleanser is new to me and I was really interested in giving it a try. I don't think I've tried a cleanser that is developed by dermatologist and soap-free. Directly from the site, here are key benefits of this purifying cleanser: Formulated with Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Gluconolactone (PHA) Deep cleans to remove impurities Non-drying and gentle to skin For all skin types, including sensitive skin This cleanser also soothes the skin and helps to improve the texture of it.
