I’m loving this effortless long skirts. It provides the right amount of style with comfort. 
Layering chain necklaces are the new trend that repeats itself year after year. If you don’t have any get one asap!
Another trend that repeats itself are the thicker belts.
This was a perfect outfit for warm weather in winter.

Just playing around in make-up with my girls…
I’ll make this my look on Valentine’s day. Hopefully I’ll have the energy to do it. This takes work…
I’m coming to the point in my life where I’m building important relationships for my future. Weather it be for business or otherwise building relationships are essential to be successful in life.
It seems that people are so cut throat now a days. They only live for right now. They don’t think of the long term possibility that a business relationship can bring. When you are doing business with someone it is your duty to give that person your best especially if that person is paying you. You have to give quality. Furthermore when you do that it creates longevity and that’s how you build relationships. When you don’t conduct your business properly it’s like giving someone false hope. They won’t return.
As I grow in business I’m seeing more and more the way people are. I try to be the same way in business as I live my life, I treat everyone fair and respectful because a long term relationship is always worth working towards and nourishing. I’m still a work in progress.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…we ask ourselves who am I to be brilliant, talented and fabulous, actually who are you not to be”
The past couple of weeks have been so busy for me. I’ve been trying to do it all while still trying to be a great mom and wife. People always ask me how do you maintain yourself with kids and work. I feel that taking care of myself is essential in order for me to give my full potential in whatever I do. I need to be confident when I attend meetings, when I see my husband and when I’m running around town with my kids because when I feel good on the outside it exudes from within. I think its mandatory to get your hair done, polish your nails/feet and dress up whenever you can. My family is use to me like this.
Tip of the day: Take care of you so you can take care of the people around you…

Some men have a perception that just because they are males, that makes them men and that’s not the case. A real man takes care of his family, his responsibilities and his self. He should never lean on a woman to take care of him because it should make him feel less than a man.
It’s ok if you’ve been with someone for a long time and he has a struggle for a bit and you take over. That’s what partnership is about. I’d take care of my husband if I had to until he got on his feet if something were to happen to him financially. But he’s such a man that he wouldn’t even want anything from me. He would get up and stock shelves at the grocery store if he had to because he has no pride when it comes to providing for his family.
This is where a lot of men have things twisted because they feel like they wouldn’t do certain things so they just rather not work at all so all the strain is left on the woman and this isn’t right. This is when the boy comes in and they need to MAN up. My cousin Brandon is in the marines and he’s going to China for 3 years (I’ll miss him) and when I look at him I see a man. Whenever he’s around he fixes things, he opens doors he makes me proud to call him my cousin. He’s a Man. One of my god sons came to visit me at my job and he’s only 10 and when I was leaving he said let me walk you to your car. I smiled and said that’s a little Man:).
I’m saying this to say nothing should really ever be one sided it should always be a team effort. If you are a woman and you do the providing for the household then your man should have dinner ready, clothes washed, kids picked up from school, ect.. If he’s just sitting on his butt all day and you have to do everything what purpose does he serve. Just to say you have a boy should never be the case. Having a Man around always makes things a little easier whether it be your father, uncle, cousin husband or boyfriend while still commending the women that do it all on their own!

I’ve been sooo busy but I’ll be back soon…
I’ve been reading Marcus Garveys book this past week. He touched on character and it really made me stop and think. Thought I’d share some wisdom fom his book with you…
“Men and women who want to be of use to themselves and humanity must have good character. Good character means the demonstration of the kind of behavior that meets the moral perception of civilization.”
“Never borrow money unless you intend to give it back. Pay it back as quickly as you can. If you use excuses when you should be paying those that you are obligated to, they will think you are a trickster. Even though you subsequently will pay them they will be loath to trust you a second time. Even if you have to make sacrifices pay your depth.”
“God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.”
He’s was a deep man. I’m greatful that he was able to share his knowledge with others before he passed.

As you can tell from previous post I love wearing black, tan and brown together. It really works.
Wore this while doing some personal shopping for my client yesterday. These shoes were quite comfy despite how they might appear not to be.

I’ve notice in past and recent experiences where people tell flat out lies for no good reason at all. In life everyone tells a lie every now and then, but it becomes a problem when you constantly do this because you have to tell a lie to cover a lie. I feel especially amused when people forget what they tell you as if you forgot the story that they told you the first time. Some people just can’t help themselves. I don’t know if they are trying impress or are just straight out liars.
When you lie it makes you seem untrustworthy. Once people look at you as a person that tells lies they’ll look at you and second guess whatever you say. This makes you not seem genuine as well.
It’s always best to be truthful cause in the end you’ll end up falling out of favor with good people because you keep fabricating stories that’s so unnecessary. Keep it real…
Tip of the day: Before you can be truthful with others you have to be truthful with yourself.

Judging on the amount of views and e-mails I received yesterday it’s safe to say that you guys enjoyed my products of 2012 post.
It’s been 86* for the past 4 days here in Cali so I’ve been trying to dress season/weather appropriate even though I don’t care, but I try to folow the rules sometimes.
Hope you guys are sticking to all the commitments you’ve made thus far for the New Year. Have a great weekend.

These are the products that I absolutely could not live without right now! My hair has grown so much in the past couple of years just by sticking to these hair products and sticking with a deep conditioning routine.
1. It’s a 10 is the best leave in for your hair after you shampoo and condition. You should always use a leave-in no matter what. No exceptions.
2.Paul Mitchell Tea tree shampoo is great. It’s perfect for cleansing the hair and it tingles in your scalp which leaves your scalp refreshed. Hair growth starts with the scalp.
3. Aphrogee hair protection is a majormusthave. This is #1 because it instantly stops breakage. You put it on your hair (it stinks) and sit under the dryer every six weeks. Your hair will get rock hard so don’t be alarmed, then you proceed to deep conditioning.
4. Paul Mitchell Deep /moisture is a great deep conditioner. It leaves hair shiny.
5. Majormusthaves Caviar deep conditioner is also great for deep conditioning. It provides ultimate shine because it’s so thick that it coats your hair. If you don’t have think hair I suggest you do a light shampoo after deep conditioning your hair. I alternate between two deep conditioners because once you use something for to long you hair gets use to it.
6. Nixon hair pills. This will have your hair growing longer and thicker.
7. Clairol’s Jazzing Cellophane in clear is great to mix in with your conditioning treatment. I use this every time I get my hair done. I sleep in this the night before I get my hair done, then I wash my hair and deep condition it. This is good if you have the time, but if not like I said you can mix it with your conditioner.
Lastly it’s always important to brush your hair trough after you apply your conditioner.
Gotta end it with a hair photo…
Everyone that knows me knows I’ve always had long hair, but I went through a point in my life where my hair was fried and dyed and it wouldn’t grow. It wasn’t until I started using these products consistently I seen the difference in my hair. I’ve also been using my majormusthaves shampoo along with this regimen. It’s in the last stage of product development and will be ready soon.
Thanks for visiting!
Celebrating…
We made a toast…2012 will be our year:))
I want to thank all of my readers for spending 2011 with me. 2012 will be a great year for my family. I have so much to look forward to and I can’t wait. I pray that God blesses you all.
99%of the time I never say anything that I’ll regret to anyone that I love. In the past when having a verbal confrontation with someone (example: in a public place, while driving, when someone has betrayed me) I admit my mouth would get a little out of hand. But as I get older and I reflect I would never want to hurt anyone (even if they say something to hurt me first) especially someone that I love. You can stand up for yourself in a assertive way without saying hurtful things.
When you say things that are hurtful they can never be taken back. You also don’t know how badly you might have hurt someone with something as simple as a word. They may forgive you but they may not forget.
Always think before you speak because words hurt people emotionally and that is just as bad and if not worse than physically hurting someone. If someone is verbally or physically abusing you, remove yourself from the situation. There’s enough stress just existing in this crazy world. No one deserves that type of pain. Don’t allow anyone to violate you!
Tip of the day: The words that people say shouldn’t hurt us…but when you can’t tune it out anymore don’t stand for it! Eliminate these type of people from your life!
