Day 1: My Redemption back to Working Out

I have laid low on the fast food, sodas, and candy this week and I have tried to keep my meals under 1400 per day.

NOW is the time Ladies and Gents that I return to the Excercise bandwagon...

Just praying I dont get lazy this evening and chicken out! I will most likely do a cardio routine of either 30 minutes of a Salsa Dance DVD or go to Planet Fitness for a varied 45 minute Cardio/Strength workout..


Ahhh decisions decisions.....wish me luck!

Shabby Chic

I was looking in the Home/Garden section of the "For Dummies" series and found some interesting interior decor looks designed by Rachel Ashwell.

Shabby Chic: a perfect cross between English Cottage and California living.

Natural Hair Updos

Hi All,

I am completely obsessed at this point with YouTube tutorials!
In tonight's quest, I found the following video for creating natural hair updos..



I also posted pics below of what I came up with as an Ledisi-esque type of style. I will need to keep practicing at this but I love it so far!

Stila's Flower Palette


Review on this new pallette --

B +

Overall, I enjoy this pallette because of the many colors and the pigmented nature of it. It could have been more pigmented but was an overall great investment. I found mine at Sephora for about $33 or so. Not sure of the current price now.

One Year Nap-Tural Anniversary


Yes....I am proud to say I made it to one full year without a relaxer as of 7/24/2011!

In Constant Self Evaluation

How do I continue to progress if I dont evaluate the moves I have made within the past year.

Its just so much more that I want to do, explore, accomplish, and inspire. I just have to figure out what it is that is my motivation....what is my passion.

I dont know about others, but I dread going to a 9 to 5 desk job with 4 meetings a day, constant reports to draft and small talk by the water cooler.

It may sound crazy but I would like to be a fascinating, phenomenal woman who doesnt look forward to a routine because each new day's adventure will be better than the day before.

Im not sure how much longer I can hold on. Something has got to give.
