It's Officially My Birthday! Wooooo, Yay [I couldn't be Happier]
Hello to all my Leos out there. [23 years old] is not a huge milestone in the age department but it's another year of life and of me being happy and healthy. On top of that what better way to bring in a new year of birth than things that I've learned in my 23 years on this earth. This was actually a challenge thinking of 23 things that I've learned so far. So... I narrowed it down to 10. Of course we all learn so much even in a day, but to actually recognize lessons that really impacted your life can be hard to remember. Since my blog is kind of like an online diary. I wanted to share this with you, because maybe, just maybe you can relate and boom! [we have something in common] soooo yeah!
1. Reach for something you've never reached for before. Basically if you have an idea or goal just sitting in the back of your mind. Just go for it and actually do it! You never know the payoff
2. Practice what you preach. That sang never gets old [NEVER] and its extremely true. Don't talk about something but your not a believer in it yourself.
3. Your confidence in measured more by how you think of yourself. If you think highly of yourself and you know your worth as a human/women/man/etc, then your confidence and strength will show more and the opinions of others will not matter. [they will eventually become irrelevant]
4. Nothing is handed to you. If you want something go out there and work to get it. You'll have a much better feeling knowing that you worked for something and it paid off.
5. In order to see results you have to work towards them. I can't just lay in my bed all day and say I want to [loose weight] but never get up and try anything to achieve that goal.
6. Don't listen to the negative, focus on the positive. Everyone is going to have an opinion and sometimes we even doubt ourselves but knowing the positive affect in everything you do will kick those negative thoughts right out the window.
7. Everybody is in their own lane and that's okay! As humans/People we are always secretly comparing ourselves to others when it comes to success. In all actuality everyone is on their own path and thats okay because you will eventually get to where you want to be also.
8. I love and hate social media. I love all the good it does with networking and business and keeping in touch with friends but I hate how controlling its become and how attached we are. But don't get me wrong I love me some social media but every once in a while its good to take a break.
9. Writing thank you letters go a long way. We forget how important it is to send a hand written letter. A letter takes time and the whole process is different from sending a simple text. Its just much more personal and Im glad I know that know.
10. We as humans are always evolving and changing. You are never going to be the same person you were the day before. Theres always things that we gain or loose and those things can change our views on life, relationships, success etc. So over night you can have a different opinion or view on something or gain knowledge in a certain area, and be [slowly changing] without even knowing it.
Sunday Thoughts

Well Happy Sunday!
I'm sitting here on my bed thinking of every possible thing I want to do, as in goals in life etc. BUT...as I go to write a blog post, I'm staring at a blank page. All I can think about is the life I want, and how am I going to get it? and what is ultimately going to bring Happiness, which is the most important factor. Have you ever just sat around all day thinking and planning of everything you want to do and accomplish in life? well that's been me lately. [lately, as in me all day] There's so many avenues and roads you can take in life, it's literally so hard to focus on one thing you want to do. I want to do everything at one time, Right Now! It's like you trying to figure out what you can do in life that includes everything you love. When your doing what you love it won't be like having a job, it would be LIFE! for me its like I love children, I love teaching, organizing, fashion, blogging, but also being my own boss. If I could I would throw everything into one and create my own job hahaha.
A life where you are being creative and fulfilling that REAL you is so rewarding and inevitably what life should be about. Creating and Growing and helping others and just having that fulfillment.
just a few thoughts for today... Its been one of those relaxing (eating ice-cream) kind of sundays! Hope yours is all and well :)
With Summer approaching so quickly, this is the perfect time of year for cool refreshing drinks. Besides the fact summers here in Arizona get extremely HOT, like 110 degrees kind of hot. I have been craving a delicious refreshing drink because I dont know about you, but I love love love drinks that have fruit in them. [Lets just say I'm obsessed] These drinks are so easy to make, they will only take you about 5 minutes to pour up. Who doesn't have five minutes to make a drink. I know I do. Also if you want to spice it up, you can make this an alcoholic beverage with a little vodka or beverage of choice. BTW I got these adorable stars and stripes paper straws from Target in the dollar sections.
Strawberry Cucumber Lemonade

Happy May Flowers

Ahhhhh! It's a new month!!! Whenever a new month rolls around I get Super Excited. A new month to me is a great time to
- SET NEW GOALS
- CROSS OFF COMPLETED GOALS
- START FRESH
- NEW BEGINNINGS
Now that I'm a few years out of all the junior high/high school days summer to me is all about Relaxing, Swimming and BBQ's in that order too:)
May is like a transition month from a hectic busy schedule to a calm chill schedule. With all the events happening in may it can become a busy month. Graduations, Ceremonies, BBQ's, School Performances Etc. You can't for get about all the Fantastic Holidays!!
- Cinco De Mayo
- National Teacher Day (Yes!!! Stand up for Great Teachers)
- Mother's Day
- Memorial Day
Another goal of mine is to start meal planning. When I actually calculated how much I spend on just fast food or going out (ouch$$$$) it starts to add up. I finally started looking into meal prepping and preparing meals at home. That way I stay healthier and save a little mula (if you know what I mean) Besides I want to work on my cooking skills a little more, I know how to cook the basics but there's nothing wrong with sharpening those skills. So maybe one day I know how to make Thanksgiving Dinner all by myself. (hashtag grown women goals)
I've also been thinking about not eating so much meat. I'm not saying I want to become a vegetarian... just yet. I am saying I want to be a little more healthier! I love is burgers mmmm like I love burgers but I did find an alternative that I like. These Quorn chicken patties are meatless and soy free. They are so good and you can dress them up in lettuce and tomato just like a real chicken burger.
These are the three goals I have been pondering over all day. I'm sure as the month goes on I will acquire more but baby steps, baby steps. Hopefully I can get on the road to a healthier lifestyle this summer! what are some of your goals this summer??
