40 Days of Decrease
40 Days of Decrease A different kind of Hunger and a different kind of Fast, says Alicia Britt Chole. This book caught me by surprise, but in a good way. I thought that it was going to be about what one would call a traditional fast, however it was not. It focuses not on just decreasing of some type of food or food period. It is about reducing/decreasing one’s challenges within a person’s soul. It is taking a walk with Christ focusing on His walk on the way to Calvary and how He reduced Himself for our sake and how important the entire act is and that it is…

Basquiat and Vik Muniz at the High Museum of Art
“It is about the process getting there, not the end result.” says Vik Muniz at the High Museum of Art while at a Media Premier of his exhibit. I believe not every artist would say that, do you? I was privileged to be able to take part in this premiere of two special artists, Basquiat and Vik Muniz at the High Museum of Art. Vik Muniz This artist that was born in Sa’o Paulo, Brazil wants his art to be intelligent and accessible to everyone and once you get a good look at his pieces you will see why. This renowned artist works with various unconventional materials, such as chocolate,…

Slimfast Goodies
It is officially 9 days already from the 3rd month of the New Year and a lot of great things have happened already and I am still believing and Expecting them to come. As part of the New Year’s new beginnings that most of us take part in, I had received from Influenster. This voxbox was from Slimfast and it included several great products that I had a different times within the past few weeks. One of the Slimfast Goodies that was included was an Advanced Nutrition Vanilla Cream Shake that had 20g of high protein and no aftertaste which makes this my #1 protein shake so far. I have…

Freebies, Samples and Amazon Reviews February 2016
It’s been a long time, since I brought you a Freebies, Samples and Amazon Reviews post and quite frankly with the business of everyday life I almost forgot this time. I know hubby does not like packages left in the front room and I do not blame him, but as long I leave the packages near the door I will not forget about them:). That just helps justify the need for an organized small mess, not a big one, but a small square of mess. I hope that I am not alone on this, but it is so easy once you put things up to forget about them. I am…

God is in Everything Women’s Conference
God is in Everything Women’s Conference was held January 30, 2016 at Family of God Church in Tucker Georgia and it was held here before, but this is my first one but certainly not the last. You guys missed it. A wonderful and refreshing women’s conference right here in Metro Atlanta and on top of it it was free. That’s right free!! Now we all know that does not happen often, but it was hosted by Team Ni-Shay Ministries. As soon as I walked in I noticed a couple of great vendors there selling their products of course, from black soap, oils, natural hair care products and jewelry. It was…

How to Keep it Simple Sweetie
The look in my face in the picture above indicates that I am somewhat a bit happy about something. I decided to use KISS which usually means something derogatory especially what the last S stands for and most times it is the word “stupid”, but I decided to change the word. Keep it simple sweetie is directed at me and any other person who have had challenges with their hair. I have been natural for over 4 years now and during my first 6 months or so, I would use simple hair products to maintain my hair and not venture out so much. I have since that point tried various…

3 Ingredient Oatmeal Cookie
Sweets (any kind including chocolate bars, cookies, cupcakes and cakes) are regularly part of my diet. For the past 21 days we have been on a Daniel Fast and usually I go about making some type of dessert and I almost let this time pass without making some form of sweetie. I have been eating fruit and used that to get my sweets in, but nothing is like biting down into a moist, chewy cookie. To satisfy my need for sweets, I made a 3 ingredient oatmeal cookie that was very simple and it took less than 35 minutes including cooking time. Hubby is not feeling so well, so he…

How to Bantu Knot
Bantu knot is a hairstyle that is one that I happen to enjoy more on other people. I found that it is a great style that looks great on even curlies that are transitioning as well as those who have no chemicals in their hair. I have tried this hairstyle one time prior and I did not like it, but this time I decided to try it on hair that had been twisted the week before and I was just wearing as a frohawk. The first time I did do it, I did it on freshly washed hair and maybe it was the combination of the product and me. Check…
