"It's a cold world, real cold world. Jermaine called that thing, man where we going to turn? A lot of people thinking I'm on a hopeless endeavor, nah I know someone that can change the weather forever, ever," --Lecrae. If you haven't listened to "Cold World" by lecrae, click the video above and watch. He speaks truth. We live in a dog eat dog type of world. It's sad, but it's true. People are willing to break the rules, cheat and back-stab just to get to the top. Gang violence and most brutal hood shootings are stemmed from money, drugs, women or disrespect. People make decisions seeking their best interest and not others. We live in a cold world. Now I'm not writing this blog to depress you nor make you think that everyone is out to get you. No, I'm writing this blog to encourage you that despite how cold of a world we live in, you can have thick skin, but still have a loving heart. You can be a light of hope and put out love in ...

During winter break I put 4 beauty hacks to test. These hacks range from how to get whiter teeth, clearer skin, and getting thicker/longer hair. Here are 4 beauty hacks I believe every woman should try! 1.) Baking Soda... I got Baking Soda! [Teeth]                                               YES!                                                                           NO! Soooo this beauty hack blew my mind. There was a noticeable difference between my before and after use of Baking Soda. If you are trying to get whiter teeth and don't want to break the bank, Baking Soda is the way to go! Take note there are two different types of baking soda, there is the cleaning version and th...

              The video attached above is very entertaining. If you haven't watched it yet, I'd suggest for you to watch it now. The song the kids are dancing to is "Cut It" by O.T. Genasis. This song came out in 2016 and went viral. There is a specific line in the song that goes, "That price is way to high you need to cut it." I begin this blog by stating that the price of your peace is way too high, you need to cut it. 1.) Difference Between Seasonal &Long-Term relationships. What I mean by cut it, is cutting any toxic relationship that is effecting your peace. When I use the word relationship it includes friendships and romantic relationships. In life there are seasonal relationships and life time relationships. Too often I've seen people drag on toxic relationships that were only suppose to be seasonal to be long term. Examples of seasonal relationships include making new friends with someone once starting a new job or joining a spor...

                  Jealousy is a little seed that starts innocently, but if not careful, jealousy can grow into a toxic harvest. I encourage you to close your eyes and imagine yourself walking/climbing up a mountain. I picked a mountain because life has it's fair share of ups and downs. Now as your climbing up this mountain, imagine the woman/male/job (Whatever you're jealous of) on your back. Now lets be real, I can barely carry my own body weight up a mountain, now adding another person's body weight would be fatal. I would quickly struggle with shortness of breath, fatigue, injury and would eventually fall down while climbing up the mountain. Now in reality you're not physically carrying this person around, but you are MENTALLY carrying this person or item everywhere you go. Usually when we're jealous of something or someone it tends to be on our minds often.                I try to write bl...

               We all know that the circumstances and commitments in life contribute to the business of life. Whether if you are a high school student involved in athletics, full time college student with a part time job, full time stay at home parent, or a full time working parent, life can be busy. We all only have 24 hours in a day and it never feels like enough.  The Purpose Driven Life , author Rick Warren states,  “Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life." With our limitation with time, how can we make the most of our time? How can we use our time wisely? In this blog, I will be providing 6 essential skills to mastering time management.  1. Set GOALS     Goal setting is one way to reset your fo...

                         Losing weight can be very difficult. In a perfect world, everyone would be able to eat whatever they wanted, sit over a flame of fire and burn the calories. All the fat from that cheese burger, Chinese food, Mexican food, cup cakes and french fries would simply burn on the fire. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. You are what you eat. Too much junk food will accentuate those love handles and muffin top tummy.           Now and days people want things fast. We tend to be inpatient and search for quick routes to our end destination. Many people search for the perfect pill that will shed off all their unwanted weight. Weight loss pills such as Slimera (Garcinia Cambogia) are effective for some, but not all. If you are searching for ways to lose stubborn belly fat or weight in other locations in the body, here are 7 easy steps:       ...

             "FEAR: an unpleasant emotion, caused by belief that something or someone is dangerous, likely to cause pain or threat." Whether if it's fear of failure, death, spiders, water or being in crowded places, everyone has something they are afraid of. Many of us have visions and goals that we want to accomplish, but the fear of failure or disappointment keeps us stagnant. Before you proceed reading this blog, I encourage you to think or write down your fears. What are you afraid of? What makes your stomach drop?             I once listened to a young man speak about his fears. He was in the middle of starting his own business and he was afraid to fail. He had to take out a cumulative loan of $40 million dollars to begin his business. If I was him, I would have been scared out of my mind also. $40 million dollars is a lot of money. Before he signed the documents for the loans he was confused, afraid to fai...
