The Daniel Fast has arrived











It's that time again DANIEL FAST TIME!!!!

I'm stoked this time around, last year? wasn't so exciting, I wasn't prepared for it, I was making up my own recipes (which were all disgusting lol) My tummy yelled at me almost every night around dinner time lol I say almost every night because when times got hard and I got weak Roscoes, Dennys, and of course FRIDAYS came to my rescue. Something i'm not too proud of though my tummy has no shame lol But this time around i'm going all in ,the pictures above are just some of the things I have been eating for the past 4 days. YES! it's been tough but when I sit down and think about the reason why im doing this, the pain kind of soothes itself. I realize this is a time of detox not only physically but mentally and most of spiritually. So far I have been able to sense the presence of God. Things that usually drive me up the wall dont! Confession: In the beginning I was a bit irritable but both my mind and body are getting the hang of everything. I've also been working out so hopefully i'm #teamskinny by the end of the fast! lol


This is truly a sacrifice for me, but Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice, compared to that this should be a breeze!

I just have to keep reminding myself:
No complaining
Stay encouraged
Spiritual Growth
Physical stripped of negativity

see you all at the end :)

Baby Magnet




So i've thought about it over and over and the only thing that came to mind was that there MUST be a sign on my forehead that reads "Baby-sitter"

Lately 85% of the men that approach me are 20yrs old and younger. I'm TURNING 22 this year lol. Sixteen year olds shouldn't even be attracted to me.

As my cousins would say "JAIL-BAIT" lol Maybe they're looking for a mother figure? Maybe there is a sense of security because i'm older?

Either way I don't have time for this lol. 21 and up is all that I am looking for sooooo if you got a friend hit me up! hahaha


please no babies I have 8 neices and nephews that baby-sitting gig is all sowed up! lol

The Perfect Tool

Life can be such a challenge sometimes but once you figure out the main tool everything else is a breeze. What is this perfect tool you ask? GOD
He is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me. No longer do I stress about huge decisions because he helps me make them. No longer do I lean on my friends for advice on totally personal situations because all I have to do is talk to him and it's taken care of. There are times of course when I feel like i'm alone and then I remember God's got my back! If you dont know him you should take the time to get to know him. Being a christian isn't as crazy as the world makes it out to be. The only sound advice I can give is try it out for yourself.
