What are you Thankful for?

Good Afternoon Lovelies :)

Its Monday and my 2 week holiday has officially come to an end. When my alarm clock went off at 6am this morning I literally had to force myself out of bed. I woke up feeling miserable as ever and all I could do was think about all the things I need to do once I get to work which made me feel even worse. So what I decided to do was totally change my train of thought to more positive thoughts and I reminded myself of all the things I should be thankful for.

 Like my Job. I see so many people that are starting off 2014 jobless, stressing about money, stressing about bills and feeding their families. Jobs are honestly so hard to come by these days that we need to be grateful that we have a job regardless if we hate our boss or the job we do.

I am so thankful for my family. I get to go home to people that love me and people that I can sit with while eating dinner and chat about my day. Family is so important and a lot of people take that for granted. Some people don't have family. Their parents have passed on or they recently lost a partner. Even though we have our days where we want to kill each other and fight over the most petty things we still love each other and we have more good times than bad times. Appreciate your family because they are the people that love you and they never stop loving you. 

I am thankful for my friends. I have such amazing supportive friends. No matter what I am going through, let it be good or bad and they are right there next to me helping me get through it. Appreciate your friends especially the ones that have never left your side no matter how bad or good the situation was. 

I am thankful for the roof over my head. When I am on my way to work some mornings or even when Im on my way home from work I see people that are homeless and struggling and it literally breaks my heart and yes some people will come back and say that person did it to themselves ect ect but this is just how I feel. Its upsetting to see someone cold and homeless while I go home to my warm bed and a hot bath. So we need to be thankful that we have a place we can actually call home. 

These are just some of the things that I am truly thankful for. What are you thankful for?

My New Years Resolutions

 Hello Beauties :)

 

I don't really make New Years Resolutions because I never seem to keep them but this year I decided to make a concerted effort to stick to any New Years Resolutions made.

So here are some of my resolutions.

 

# START GYMING: During the year I always start working out at home a little and then I get lazy and keep putting my workout off so today I dragged my brother and mom out of bed and we went to the closest gym and signed up for a gym contract. I will be gyming with my brother so that will give me more motivation.

 

#DRINK MORE WATER: Water has become my last choice when it comes to choosing something to drink so I have decided to start drinking as much water as I could. obviously I have started off slow with drinking water and I am going to try and drink more water than anything else.

 

#TRY NEW MAKEUP STYLES: 2013 has been a great year for me with regards to Makeup, gaining more clients and discovering what makeup suits me and getting into my routine but this year I want to try and experiment with new and more fun makeup styles.

 

#EAT BETTER: I have always been very health conscious but I have been with my mom a lot lately and we all know nothing beats moms cooking and the one thing that my mom makes that I just cannot say no to is her Roast Potatoes. So this year sorry mom but I have to eat less of your "Roasties" and move to healthier alternatives.

 

These are just a few of my New Years Resolutions... Do you have any?

Inspiration for the New Year 2014

Good Morning Beautiful Ladies :)

 

Its officially 2014... 2013 has now come and gone and has become just the past. We all have a chance to stick to our New Years Resolutions and make sure that 2014 is a year to remember. 2013 has had its ups and downs for many people and sometimes we just need a little motivation and inspiration.

Yesterday my baby cousin faith that is 10 years old sent me this video before I rang in the new year and I was so touched and inspired by this I wanted to share it with all of you ladies so that you can all be reminded how beautiful you are. You are not defined by what the scale says, or what a bullie at school or work says. You are unique in your own way and no matter how hard things get in time you need to realize that you are loved.

 

We are all beautiful and we are all loved by God. He has a plan for us and he will only put opsticals in our path because he knows that we are strong enough to handle it.

I am so inspired by this video and I hope that all of you ladies are just as inspired as I was.

 

Happy New Year

I wish you all an amazing year filled with lots of love and happiness.

xoxo
