HAVE YOU LAUGHED TODAY

DON'T FORGET TO LAUGH TODAY!!!!!!!!!!

Some times we get so caught up in the negative things or just the stresses of life....
I just wanted to remind you to #LAUGH today :) :)

A flower a day.....

Almost everyday my son gives me a flower and tells me he loves me.  It could come from anywhere from our front yard, someone else yard...LOL.   He started doing this at a very young age which startled me. I don't know what it is about a son's love for his mother but it is amazing. Children are a blessing, i think it is our duty as parents to cherish them as much as it is a duty for them to cherish us as parents.

NATURALS MUST HAVE'S.....

If you are newly natural, there are a few things that a natural gal must have.... and yes I meant to say gal:)
Coconut oil is a must have because it is a great moisturizer. It is also great for your skin. A silk scarf of pillow case is very important. It keeps the moisture in your hair and it stops breakage.  The holy grail product of them all is the DENMAN brush. It was so difficult for me to find this brush. I found out the hard way that it is not sold in stores.  I bought it off of amazon.com. What's in your natural gal starter kit????

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER............IT WONT WORK.

BEST SOAP OF THE DECADE!!!!
I recently found this soap at Marshall's while i was doing a little shopping.  I tried it and needless to say, it has been a success!!
It leaves your skin very moisturized and soft. While showering with it you will be pampered with the great essential oil called argan! You can purchase it online at amazon.com
Its alright to pamper yourself!!!!!!!

If the WORDS you spoke APPEARED on YOUR skin.....would YOU still be BEAUTIFUL.............................
Let that sink in.........

Sometimes we can say some of the ugliest things and not realize that it takes our beauty away. Beauty is skin deep...it goes beyond the surface....

those rompers, sun dresses, shades, and more. I love the spring time because it's

not too hot an not too cold.  Its time to pull out those cute outfits and enjoy the beautiful weather...................................................................................................

A Great Way To Get Your Child Eating Healthy

Being a mom I have been through the ringer trying to get my children to eat healthy. The only thing my son wants to eat is dry cereal. I have found that incorporating your child in making meals is a great way to get them to eat healthy.  Allow them to ask questions while letting them place food into containers.  Also allow them to season the food as well. They will love it and you will be satisfied with the results. 

Beauty is in everything.................................

The blessing of our seed......

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Children are a blessing.....
They bring so much life to two people who created them with the love of God.
It is important to live the best way possible in front of them because they are "copy cats." Not because we are perfect, but we want them to be better than we are.  Be watchful of the things that you put in your child's eyes and ears because it goes straight to their SOULS.
They are our future! Teach them to be leaders and not followers....
There are so many children right now that are lost because they follow and not lead.
They can be doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and more.
Tell them that every day, instill greatness into our children
Protect our future.

My Favorite Natural hair products right now....

Right now, these are my favorite natural hair products.  I am newly natural and i am still trying to find all of the products that work for my hair.  I really love the Carols Daughter Black Vanilla sulfate-free shampoo.  It really makes my hair look and feel clean without stripping the natural oils from it.   I also like the enhance of my curls that the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie give me.  It also leaves my hair feeling and looking moisturized.  Last but not least, the Olive Oil eco-styling gel gives a sleek finish to my edges daily! Go check out those products to see if they work for you too!

Period.....................................

This is a very true statement. There are some people in our lives that take so much out of us that we become unhappy. It is so easy to let people drain the happiness from us but it is so hard for us to get the energy to get our happiness back. Pay attention to the way that you weigh on people, be considerate of others, you could be breaking someone down that you love....................

I can't believe it is that time for me.......graduation!!!! Let me start off by saying that i am getting my bachelors degree in health care administration and a minor in business.  I am so excited to accomplish my goal. I must say that it was not easy...but nothing worth having is.  I remember when i first started, i was really nervous and i felt like it would take forever. Let me tell you, time goes by fast! I felt a little intimidated when i first started, i did not think that i could do it. I made myself a promise that i would not stop, whatever i do.  There were even times when i felt like certain classes were just to difficult for me...i still succeeded. I am here to tell you today, that you can do it! Whatever you are going through, you can make it.  Just push yourself. There is no one stopping you but you. GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!!!!!!!!
 This is my testimony, i graduate on May 3, 2015!!!!!!!!!!

Best soap for children with ezema

Shea moisture organic butter soap is the best soap to use on a baby with eczema.  My daughter was born with the skin condition called eczema.  She still suffers from a mild case of it today.  I have found that for my child this soap is a great solution when she has outbreaks.  It is also great to add extra moisture to your children skin directly after a bath with any moisturizing lotion.
