Hello Everyone!
Last week the temperature dipped down into the 30's at night and I couldn't think of a better time to get some crocheting done. I've been wanting to make myself leg warmers for the longest time, but I never got around to doing so until last week.
Hello Everyone!
Today I'm being a little nostalgic on the blog. As a Millennial, I was pretty excited to hear McDonald's was bringing back their Boo Buckets. Oh being a child growing up in the 90's...what a time to be alive!
Now where did these buckets end up? You're guess is good as mine lol. I remember specifically one Halloween my mom took me to McDonald's and got me a happy meal. I got McPunkin. I can't remember if I went Trick or Treating that year, but all was good in my world with that Boo Bucket and cheeseburger Happy Meal! Fun fact, my dad used to call me Punkin.
Hello Everyone!
I know this post is probably throwing people off lol or you're wondering why I'm talking about Thanksgiving and my birthday/Christmas when these events are in November and December... well let me explain I may take some time off the blog next month, but I'm not sure yet so here we are with my reflection post just incase.
This year has been been filled with ups and downs for me. I've dealt with a few challenges in which made my faith stronger. You all know that I'm not one to push my religious beliefs on anyone, but for me prayer gets me through a lot of obstacles. I've learned over the years to trust God and the process even if I don't understand. I've had to step out on faith when I was unsure of the outcome. Most importantly I pray and thank God when things are going well. I think sometimes we pray when we're scared, unsure, or lost, but don't forget to pray and thank God during the good moments.
Through my good and bad moments I'm always thankful especially for life's basic necessities such as shelter, food, utilities etc. These things are so important especially when there are so many people that are need of these things. Something that has been troubling me is that some people seem so relaxed about covid like it's not still going on around. I've actually had people tell me who hasn't had Covid. Well I haven't had Covid and I pray to keep it that way. I've still wear my mask when I'm out and I socially distance. I'm vaxed and boosted. I'm doing what I feel is best for myself and those close around me.
I'm so thankful my mom and my Godmother. They have been best friends for over 40 years. They meet when they were teenagers. My mom has always shown me unconditional love. She been my biggest supporter and for that I'm always thankful. My Godmother is also a postive influence in my life as well. I can only hope to have a friendship like theirs one day.
My upcoming 37th birthday on Christmas has me thinking how I'm almost close to 40! Wow right? I try not to think about age, but instead of the things I have accomplished and the things I look forward to accomplishing. I learned a long time ago it's okay to not have everything figured out especially things beyond my control.
I didn't know how long today's post was going to be as I spoke from the heart. As we near the holidays, please remember to be kind to others, but most importantly be kind and gentle to your self ❤

Hello Everyone!
Today I want to share my review for Entity Clean and a new Halloween Manicure. Entity Clean is a new nail polish to me, but I love polishes that are clean are breathable especially since I have chronic sinus problems.
Work of Heart- This bold crème hue was crafted for the perfect classic red manicure!
Sunshine Girl- This summer sun has nothing on this beautiful bright orange crème!
Cotton Cutie- A bright white crème perfect for a clean and crisp nail look.
Hello Everyone,
I thought I would share my thoughts about dating after experiencing domestic violence.
If you want to catch up on my experience about Domestic Violence, see links at the end of this post to my previous posts over the years.
I've been single since 2017, but it's not because I'm afraid to have a relationship. I just haven't dated any guys that I want to be in a relationship with.
Maybe that sounds harsh, but it's honest. I think there some truth to the statement "You'll be alone for a while when you know your worth." I don't think the statement is fully true, but I notice that since I'm not going to put up with a man treating me any kind of way I have been single for quite some time. I'm not looking for perfection because no one is perfect, but I won't be mistreated. Please remember that emotional abuse is a form of domestic violence. I can't stress that enough.
I don't base my love life on the toxic experiences I've had in the past, but I do use those experiences on what to avoid. I do believe in love, but love is also respect.
