What Will Be Your New Years Resolutions?


It is an age old tradition to aspire to make each year better or greater than the year before. When December rolls around, we begin to rewind our lives in our minds eye to see if we can come up with a NEW plan to undo mistakes made or better ourselves in some way going into the new year. Lists are made, gym memberships are joined, bibles are being dug out of hiding places and don’t forget! We always seem to be diligent about removing toxic people from our lives.  

How many of us actually keep with our resolutions? Do they seem to fade out by March of the new year or sooner? Are we putting too many demands on ourselves all at once to achieve a better life? I say to each his own. If making bucket lists or FINALLY joining a gym is something you want to do, then do it! If you’ve created a “New Year, New You” list and only have success with one out of forty, than that is an accomplishment in my book. 

Fresh starts and new beginnings  allow us to wipe away the old to reinvent ourselves when in reality we can do that mid year as well. May of 2017 I had a life epiphany and decided that I would start to take care me. Take more time for myself and do so without regret. I decided that my children were grown and I could do all the things I ever wanted to do since my children were little kids. Could I have waited until the following December to make such an investment into myself? Yes, I could have but I realized at that particular moment that I didn’t want to wait. I didn’t want 2018 to be my starting point. If I was going to seize the day then I needed to be “resolute” about my decision at that very moment; and I did. 

As we approach another new year, my resolve is to keep going. Keep the momentum of striving for a healthy lifestyle mentally, physically and financially. I will do what pleases God and me first. Oh! And I will remove myself from negative, toxic people....lol.

Oil Of Olay Total Effects “28 Day” Challenge || Review πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎ

One of my favorite YouTube influencers announced a challenge to try out the Oil of Olay Total Effects 7 in One Anti Aging Moisturizer last December. I know, I know, I’m kinda late with the review but better late than never, right??? Anyhoo, I decided to take the challenge and purchased my product off of Amazon immediately. I say immediately because for one: it was an immediate reaction to this challenge and two: I had been looking for a decent moisturizer because my skin suffers badly from excessive dryness in the winter. The Summer months? Forget about it. I get severe sunburn on my face and arms and the residual damage lasts well into Winter most times. So, I received my product in three days and only began to apply at night before bedtime. First let’s talk about the texture of the moisturizer. It’s whippy (if that’s even a word) and smooth upon dispensing. The bottle says it’s fragrance free which I take it to mean there aren’t any perfumes added to the product (which is a plu...
