Showing posts with label advice

When I see the first red flag while dating after divorce; I am running! See ya later. I know; it may seem like a bad thing to do. I have found that having a conversation about what I may label a red flag leads to more misunderstanding or passive-aggressive behavior from the other person from addressing the situation.


The holiday season is often portrayed as a time of joy, togetherness, and celebration with those you love. However, for those who are newly divorced and adjusting to single parenthood, it can be a challenging and emotionally charged time. 


Establishing Boundaries With Nosy People

When the phone rings or when a text message comes across your phone displaying a particular number or phone contact, be at peace within your heart with the decision not to answer. I have had people come into my life that only want to talk to me about what's going on with my personal business. I am sure you can relate too. 
You better work it, baby! When you step into the room, your presence commands attention. All eyes are on you! There you are just shopping for groceries, running a few errands around your area, or could even be out getting breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Growing up in a black single-parent home, tough love was vital for my mother. It was how she was raised, and it was passed on. However, I decided to break and end the generational tradition of being cold and detached from my family. Being that I am a mother, I do not want to bring up my son and future kids with too much tough love. 

Inner peace is expensive and should not be undervalued. Whenever you worry or stress about things that are out of your control you end up placing a strain on your inner peace. I understand how hard it can be to not worry.


25 Habits To Help You Prosper

You do not always need a real God-given talent to accomplish things that you have set out to do in your everyday life. Many people are hard on their selves because they feel as if they aren’t good at anything unique or unusual.



When you take care of your inner it shows on the outside. When you pamper yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually you glow becomes more radiant. Whenever some people talk about “glowing” they can refer to your highlighter, smile, or even pregnancy. You also glow when you drop toxic people out of your life. 


If you’re not on any of the popular social media apps, then many people would raise an eyebrow. However, it is not always a bad thing to not be in the constant ring of gaining likes, followers, and attention from strangers 95% of the time.

Setting boundaries can be difficult only if you allow it to be. I have learned the hard way to value and respect my own space from others. When I use to allow mixed and toxic energies into my space I ended up burned and frustrated. It took me realizing the power that I had already had within myself to choose my peace and happiness before sacrificing it to be cool with anyone.



I have been on YouTube and doing hair product reviews for the past five years. I have learned a lot about keeping my sanity in check. I have learned about my value and self-worth. My time or creativity is not to be wasted or taken for granted. What a lot of influencers won’t tell you is that you should never overexert yourself for nobody’s brand.



This entire month of May has taught me to not give up on any goals that I once placed on the back burner. I'm determined to accomplish the goals that once believed were not possible. 


Developing genuine and honest friendships is something that many people enjoy! It’s something beautiful about surrounding ourselves with people of similar ambitions, hobbies, lifestyles, or relationship statuses. Many of us love having friendships with people that we admire, learn from, and even challenging us to level up in life.



You Better Put In The Work!

I was having a conversation earlier this week with a blogger friend of mines. We somehow started talking about the latest self-help books and audibles. She asked a very intriguing question. She said, “After reading so many self-help books I still find myself being more self-critical on many areas of my life. Do you think I’m going crazy? Am I taking the advice and views of other authors too seriously?”

There will always be someone that has their hand out that’s in need of some money.

I thought about this last week as I strolled along the sidewalks of my neighbor with my son.  We were headed to the nearest corner store for a few snacks. I had only $10.00 in cash in one of the pockets of my dark washed blue jeans paired with a loosely fitting marron t-shirt and a classic pair of Chuck Taylor’s. 


Reasons for Low Libido In Young Women

What you can do if it is happening to you.

It is not odd for couples to have different libidos. In fact, there are more young women rage in ages from the 20s, 30s, and 40s who are having less sex. Did you know that in a recent study heterosexual woman are having fewer orgasms than other demographics? We live in a culture of “embracing sexuality” as an essential part of our lives and livelihood.



These days having less sex and not enjoying the sex we are having to the fullest is the new norm. The topic of our sex lives is a complex issue with many impacting factors. Could it be that low libido or lack of sex drive is one of the reasons why more women are just not interested in sex altogether?

Get The Hell Out Of Your Own Way!

Give it to God and let it be. I thought about this saying before I went into this past week. I was stressed. I felt unfulfilled with my progress. I was being over critical of myself. Hell, I just couldn’t stop faulting myself for the smallest of things. All I knew was that things were going to turn around. I did not know how soon, but I knew within my spirit things were going to get better. 


I will rather be real than sugar coat the truth with lies and bullshit. My husband and I have been together for eight years. We have been disagreements. We have our ups and downs and share so many priceless moments together.



We are officially 7 months in 2018. Where has the time gone? When this year began I barely had money in my bank accounts, my husband and I were on tough times, and I was depressed. Throughout these past seven months, I have risen above my past struggles. I have learned so many valuable lessons. 


My momma always told me and my lil’ sister that if we ever feel ashamed about how we make our money no matter where we at in life then we shouldn't be doing it. I was 17 years old and working my first job at Popeyes in Plattenville, Louisiana. I was working every few days out the week 4 pm until closing, especially on the weekends.
