Soul Purpose

Reflection

July 8, 2018Leave a comment

I want to start sharing some of my devotions and thoughts. Usually I take time to write, and explore the depths of my mind and religion on Sunday’s.

I find myself in a state, where I forget to pray or forget to devote time out of my day to The Lord. As if God isn’t the one who gives me the ability to see each new day. The Lord never forgets about me or my needs, regardless if I devote the necessary time to him or not. That is so unfair to him, especially on my part. So selfish of me to not give God what I ask of him to give me. God is so forgiving and laid back because honestly how many of us put God last, when he continually puts us first?? And then when we need him in dire times, we run back and ask, ask, ask. Don’t get me wrong I am just as guilty. My everyday life continues to come first. I always find myself running around doing errands, waking up getting ready, checking my phone for texts from people, looking at twitter, all this un-important things. And not taking ONE MINUTE, to pray, to say thank you for waking up and allowing the opportunities he provides for me each day. I act like I am in too much of a hurry, that I can’t take one minute to pray and thank God for all my blessings. In reality, I should be waking up and rolling out of bed a minute early JUST to find time for God. God always makes time to listen, but I can’t seem to find one minute to give to him?

For me, devoting time to God daily is super important, but I can’t seem to place time in my “busy life” for him. This is something I have been working on and continuing to work on. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying in anyway that if you don’t pray daily or go to church, that God isn’t looking out for you. He most definitely is! BUT he is also looking for ways to bring you back to him. To make sure you realize the path always leads to him. He wants your focus to be on him and not other earthly things. God’s got you, don’t forget that. But when you stray from him, he longs for you to return. We ask God to give us all this: money, success, happiness, a man, a family, whatever it may be. BUT what are we giving to God in order for him to give us what we want??

Maybe we need to focus a little more on spending time and giving our attention to God than giving all our attention to people, or things on this earth. Maybe if we start to devote our lives to him, than he will bless us beyond our expectations. And if we choose put all our trust and faith in him, then we have nothing to worry about. Sometimes a little more God is all we really need.

Have a blessed Sunday y’all!

XOXO.

Sorry for the…. Delay

Hello Lovely’s

I know I’ve been neglecting you all and my joy of writing for that matter. But toooo much has been going on I couldn’t find five minutes to sit down and write.

Your girl went ahead and bossed up. Found a job working in an Ortho Clinic that I love. Seriously have been enjoying every minute of it, including dressing myself in business cas like everyday. And I had to go ahead and get my certification in Mammography. You know so I can go ahead and save the tatas! So I’ve been MIA adapting to all the new environment and studying my ass off for my boards.

Meanwhile…… all my other life has not slowed down what so ever. So just wanted to give y’all a little update on my life and a new story will be coming your way. Because apparently the devil and men never rest a day in their life. They are always out trying to ruin somebody’s life.

With that being said, Stay tuned. Promise it will be out for y’all to read soon. 🙂

For now, enjoy The Chaos of your own lives. XOXO.

Chap-stick you’ll never lose!

March 10, 2018June 2, 2019Leave a comment

Okay now that you’re here let’s clear some things up.

This blog is going to give you new tricks to avoid losing your chap-stick. Because let’s be honest, when you have that ONE favorite chap-stick you lose it within five times of using it and that’s like uber depressing. However *disclaimer* I am not giving you tips that will stop you from losing your chap-stick EVER again cause that is completely up to you, BUT I have lots of helpful ideas and tips that will trick your brain into remembering where your chap-stick is.

Let’s start.

1. The Big Secret

That ONE favorite chap-stick, You know the one that you love how it makes your lips feel, the perfect scent, maybe even a nice flavor to it, yeah that one! Well why do you only buy one? If you buy it and then discover that this one indeed is the bomb.com well you obviously need more! So Step two is go back to the store buy two, three, shoot even ten more. Because why not? The trick is to have one for every place you travel; one for your purse, one in your car, one in your bedroom, one in your bathroom vanity, one for your job, one that can travel with you in your pockets if you like. The reality is you hardly ever “lose” your chap-stick because you have five of them AND it’s like the reverse psychology prevents you from ever losing one.

**I have yet to lose one since I bought five more, but let me know how my theory stands up for y’all**

2. Less is more, is it really?

Okay, so in your closet yeah less is more. Actually alot of things in life are less is more. However with Chap-stick this is not the case. You can NEVER have too many chap-sticks especially if you found one you love. DON’T BUY ONE, BUY IN BULK.

3. Finding the one you LOVE.

So I have a few things I search for in a chap-stick kinda like my men. haha joking – or am I. Personally I love ones that are in super easy accessible tubes, make my lips feel super soft, even if it doesn’t moisturize well. And sometimes I like the cuteness of the tube, however, I usually want an ideal tube. Like ones that are small enough to fit in your pocket or wallet – easy, small tubes.

Although the “EOS” eggs are wonderful chap-sticks, they aren’t ideal. I can’t fit that egg in my pocket and once you’ve ran out of the the round part, do you know how hard it is to use the rest of the tube. *depressing*

And don’t get me started on all the chap-sticks that melt easily. But all in all, it is up to you to find just what one you love, and then how many extras you want to buy.

If you are looking for more of a scented brand or want a little flavor (for smooching 😉 I do like the “chapstick” brand – they have tons of flavors; cake batter, cherry, strawberry, classic, green tea, sugar cookie, and so on lol. Nivea and Blistex are really good for hydrating and moisturizing. Burt’s Beeswax is another good chapstick with flavor options.

4. My perfect match

Finally I reveal just which chap-stick I have five of. Yes – one in the car, one in my bedroom, one in my purse, one at work, and one in the bathroom. “Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula” It’s not a round tube, it more oval like. Its just what it says cocoa butter, like shea butter lotion on your lips. Heavenly.

I also use the classic, Carmex. I’m not always a huge fan of how greasy they make my lips feel, and the flavor isn’t too appealing to me but they make my lips super moisturized during the winter months.

5. Seal the Deal

So let the task begin. Find your perfect match, the perfect chap-stick that will make you feel you, and give you the best moisturized lips out there. And WITHOUT, the hassle of losing your favorite chap-stick. Start at Walmart, your favorite grocery store or closest drug store. Go to the aisle with all the chap-sticks, yes there is an aisle, and looking at the ones by the check out will not have the whole selection. You kind of have to be invested and have the time to look because the amount of different chap-sticks there are can be overwhelming. If this is your thing, buy five different ones, test them out and see which one you like best. Or start with one of two and use the whole tubes before you decide or chose to try a different one. Personally I asked a couple of my closest friends which ones they use and which ones they love. I tested a few of theirs ad then tried a few of my own. It is a trial and error test run but finding that perfect chap-stick will be well worth it.

The Chaos in my eyes

Hi everyone,

I started a new blog site. SO I will slowly be transferring over all my blog posts about my detox.

My blog is going to be everything and anything. I will be detailing my detox and how slowly and surely I hope to get rid of my migraines. And along the way I hope to find other things to blog about going on in my daily life.

Currently I will also blog about Religion, my journey through this Lent season, religious books I have read and loved- will do reviews and what I learned about myself through reading. Photography is also a small hobby of mine, I will share a few of my favorite photos taken here and there. I plan to do other reviews over other books, movies, wines, stores and outfits -just about anything I feel like expressing myself through writing. And lastly I will do other random posts about Valentine’s day, thoughts on conversations I’ve had and all the good stuff.

Thanks for coming along my journey in the Chaos.

Well Well..

I have officially finished my 14 day detox. I finished on February 13th.

As if i wasn’t dramatic enough, I would say that was the hardest thing i’ve ever had to do. Like actually give up all sweet, and bread, PIZZA, cookies, chocolate, cheese, milk, eggs. Like some of those things seem minor but when you’ve had them all your life its like your body knows to crave them. I am literally starving myself right now as I’m typing this. Like Valentine’s day was so so hard because there is chocolate everywhere. Our work bought us donuts and couldn’t have them, There was a box of chocolates in the staff lounge and nope couldn’t have that either…. LIKE

HELP.

But good News is I saw my Doc on the 12th.. He asked how I was and what all I had concerned with… AND let me tell you. I had a lot of concerns before I got into his office and then all a sudden I had no idea what my concerns were.

To begin. I did go 10 days without a migraine. And currently I have had one migraine since which may have been due to a hangover so… were gonna count that out.

I learned that Brett (my doctor) much easier to just use his name. Brett is really bad at coming up with alternatives. He likes to just cut things out completely. For example I really want chocolate and cookies. He thinks i can probably have butter even though butter has dairy products. So that’s a start he doesn’t want me eating cookies but I can have butter. hmmmm

I really love peanut butter and he suggested using almond butter. But I cant have bread so I’m not sure what I would put the almond butter on. LOL

It is going to be a really slow month.

So far adding in bananas has been okay…they haven’t made me feel terrible but not the best either.

I went out the other night to eat at Texas Roadhouse and started eating peanut… as my brain wasn’t thinking I couldn’t have them. and then BOOM. migraine started. Like within five minutes of eating peanuts I had a migraine.. which sucks because that means I won’t be able to ever have peanuts again. SO SO annoying.
