Outfit of the Day

Friday, a day after I arrived to the East Coast, my family and I 

drove to NYC which is about an hour and half away from 

where we are in Connecticut. It was a crazy day filled with lots

of everything especially walking. But, I got to go some some 

great sample sales and picked up some cool pieces at H&M, 

Mavi, and Joe Fresh. I am in love with this neon sweater! 

This piece features a necklace by AfroBeat Jewelry! Pics taken

on roof at my bro's apt in Brooklyn.

Outfit of "That" Day

Yesterday, I spent my day in bed (because I worked all night Friday)

and then woke up for an tasty Indian lunch at a friend's. So I got dressed

and felt pretty crappy so I decided to dress in a way that would cheer

me up. I know I am not the only one who does that. So cheers to 

bright colors who unintentionally make me feel happy.

Why do I love her so...

Because mediocre is not in her language...take flight

Thursday Thought

As long as you understand the implications, and the good outweighs the bad...

 

Foodie/Mind 'Fit'spiration

Let's call it like it is, Shall we!

I want to be one with myself in every way possible. This

includes feeding my body the absolute best and treating it

with compassion and care. I should know all about compassion 

and care since I am going to be a nurse in less than a year. But 

lets keep it real, eating healthy, going to the gym, and balancing

life is not easy AT ALL!

What I want out of life and what I strive for:

1. A healthy balance diet filled with whole grains and raw veges 

and fruit; and minimizing the dairy, meats, and fats.

 2. I would love to exercise at least 5 days a week, at least 30 mins/day. Not to lose

weight but just to keep my body active; the endorphins flowing and the muscles

in tone. 

3. Finally, the spiritual body, is just as important as the physical. As we

move into the new year, I want to remind you that there

is no one greater than God we serve. I serve a merciful and wonderful God. He is

so loving, forgiving, and takes me as his own each and everyday regardless of my 

shortcomings. I want to rededicate my life each day I arise, alive to God. 

His love endures forever Psalms 136:26
