New House New Car Thankful Me

This is a total testimony to how great the universe is and how through prayer all things are possible. If you would have told me two years ago that I would be where I am now I would have laughed at you. I was deep in debt, in an 800 square foot townhouse, with a SUV that would stall out every time I drove it. I was so depressed and I did not see a way out of my situation. My two children were sharing a bedroom we had one bathroom that four of us would share, it was miserable. My husband was let go from his job and we were barely making ends meet. It was a terrible time but some how, in the middle of me crying on the floor of my bathroom something told me to get myself together. I don't know if it was God or my Ancestors but something told me to get up, wipe my tears and change your situation.  My last straw was driving to work, and my car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. Mind you i'm in uniform, It was so embarrassing, another uniformed officer came to my rescue wh...

Life and Times in Quarantine

Image
I cannot believe that it is 2020 and we are stuck in the house in quarantine. I wish I was outside and being in the house has been so boring. But I am very thankful and blessed that my family and I are safe and healthy during this trying time. I hope everyone out there can get through this time healthier and more in tune with overall health. During this time I’ve been making masks and friendship bracelets, and I love sewing and this gives me a great opportunity to do something with my time. My children have been playing with their iPads a lot and I’ve been trying to keep them up in their studies and make sure that they stay on track with their grade level work. I also been cooking a lot I’ve been trying different recipes and also I have tried meal planning services like hello fresh and let me tell you they’re awesome. I’ve been trying to reach out to different friends and family by text and just let them know that I am thinking of them and praying for them a lot making sure that they s...

Dior Forever 24h* wear high perfection skin- caring matte foundation

Image
Absolutely amazing foundation, I received this full size product as a freebie from Influenster’s  VoxBox program and let me tell you how fabulous this is. Being a African American Female it’s very difficult sometimes to find a foundation that is a true match to skin tone and the right coverage level. This product has both, my skin is normal and when applied it is like fine silk. I dab it on with my finger and then smooth it out with a foundation brush covers all of my discrepancies. I usually have to wear an concealer, and with this foundation it’s not really necessary. If I do decide to use concealer with this product I feel it would really help with my dark circles under my eyes. I did not use concealer this time to truly gadge the coverage of this product. I feel that this product could become a product staple in my makeup collection. At a price point of 52$ it’s a little expensive,but I feel that we get what we pay for sometimes, and with this product you are receiving Dior...

New Year Same Goals

Image
Hi everyone, I can believe it is February already and 2018 in upon us. I have so much that I want to do and have planned for this year that I hope that my family and I can make it through peacefully. Well let me let you know about some of my hopes and goals for this year. the first goal is to save money to buy a new home. As many people know I have lived in the same house for 14 years and It was lovely when it was just my husband and I. Now I have two lovely children and with all of their things and our things, we have out grown our home. It has been a hard having to try to make money and save money so it is definitely a work in progress. I have no doubt that our dream of owning a bigger house will become a realtie. My second goal is to continue with my healthy natural hair journey. I have been on a quest as of lately to get the growth and length of these ladies on YouTube. It was a struggle to figure out my natural hair, but once I did I’m absolutely amazed at how beautiful my hair i...

I received a free mattress 😮😮😮

Image
Omg y’all, I have been receiving free samples for years and have scored a lot of really great things but when Viewpoints’s told me that I was going to receive a free mattress I didn’t believe them. I have been told that I was going to receive products before but never received anything, but this time I got off of work and boom baby I had a whole mattress sitting in my living room. I am absolutely so thankful for this because I definitely needed a new mattress and it was like the sky opened up and dropped one down on me. Please don’t get it twisted because I have been doing this for years and I love the thrill of the sample chase. I go on freeflys.com and various other websites, signing  up for everything I can because you never know what can come your way. I’m a working mom that has champagne taste on a beer budget and receiving free samples is my way of having the taste of the good life without paying for it. I have received free samples from companies like Le Mer and SKII look th...
