My NEW MTN!!!!

I am elated to have been able to receive this Midori style traveler’s notebook. I created my own before i had this one and it did the job wonderfully but i really like the leather and all the room in this new one i got from my sister (Below)

IMG_4154

Thats the charm i have for my notebook but you can go out and buy them from joAnns, Micheal’s and hobby lobby

IMG_4156

Its big but not to big it has multiple sections and places to put stuff

I”M IN LOVE!!!!!

(Just Don’t tell my husband) lol

So It’s a simple notebook system, in the quiet and refined style that the Japanese do well. There’s a thick tar colored leather cover inside there are elastics that hold the pieces inside as well as wrap around the entire journal. You can swap in different notebooks and other accessories to customize it to your needs. It’s designed to be personalized, portable, and long-lasting. Once a notebook is filled, it can be slipped off and swapped for a new blank one. It’s only the paper notebooks that have to be replaced, not the whole journal itself.

IMG_4181

I decided to customize mine with mostly custom notebooks ,a graph-lined notebook, calendars, to-do list, business notebooks… etc. That way, I would have a place for thoughts, inspiration, organization and i’m thinking about keeping a daily journal in it as well. I imagine it to be a cross between a Filofax and an ordinary journal, versatile enough to warrant my taking it everywhere, and therefore capable of actually being a kind of ongoing scrapbook of my life. Like some kind of adventure journaling!

Okay I know, …… you guys just want me to just open it already so you can explore all inside. Ok, lets see……

IMG_4159

It has 2 main sections and two slightly smaller inside flaps.

The first section i wiI go over will be to the right with all the cupcakes on it.

This section is basically the notes section.

IMG_4160

This first insert was made by me every single piece of it holds recipes for cakes, cupcakes and goodies for my soon to be custom cake bakery!

On the inside flap it holds a grid notebook i made for little notes.

IMG_4168

This mini insert/folder holds a copy of my menu and order contract for my business.

This folder was made by muah as well.

IMG_4169

This Notebook insert is grid paper and along with the others i made this one as well

IMG_4172

This notebook holds all of my bakery business plans. This note book is taller i just took the picture that way

This one is a notebook with washi tape.

IMG_4173IMG_4174

Both of the above notebooks are for different kinds of notes or ideas and yes i made them too

The Left Side is calendar, schedules, to-do list etc.

IMG_4163

I made everything on this side as well.

IMG_4176

A folder that holds different papers i need.

IMG_4165

My to-do list.

I used a rose and its leaves for the cover.

I have a lot on my To-Do list, but i ended up taking pictures of some blank pages instead.

My Long & Crazy Journey!!!

Okay so I’ve decided to post my natural hair journey……

It all started In Chicago winter of 2008 around Christmas time we took a trip to Texas to visit family. My mom did my hair for me in a style called tie downs.(pictured below)0106090731-01 (2)so after the entire Christmas trip my mom re-did my hair in the same style for when we moved to Dallas in March 2009. Me not thinking I put Super glue on each one to secure it at the roots. (The most STUPID yet REWARDING mistake of my life) Okay back to the story so not realizing the glue seeped down into my actual hair that was braided underneath. Yea i know you’re all thinking why use super glue?, why this? and why that? Yea i thought the same. :/  Soooo….. soon It was time to take down my hair and i COULDN’T do it!!!!! I freaked i tried everything i could think of and nothing worked. I tried everything in my power to avoid cutting my hair. My mom and i even went to Home Depot just to check and see if they had any kind of products that remove super glue. We found Nothing!! So i had to do what i had to do . I loved my hair, no, it wasn’t natural but i had healthy hair and i was pleased with my length. (pictured Below)8077926(I had a perm in this picture) As you can see in the picture above I’ve always loved a auburn/copper colored hair even now. I think if this unfortunate event never happened i wouldn’t be natural today! Well i know you want to know…… Yes i cut it off, My heart was crushed into a million pieces i even cried. I’ve always loved my hair to the fullest. I was only Half way through my junior year of high school and had to deal with this.

Pictured below is the way it looked after i was done cutting the hair out including mine. it was all uneven all over because some wasn’t glued all the way and some was .

 The Day I Turned Kinky! 😉 06/14/09 1095 (2)This is after it was trimmed evenly (below)
1096 (2)

For a few months i wore wigs. I did twist under the wig and more protective styles. pictured below.

0219101831-01 (2) me (2)

I was content for now because i could go out without feeling some type of way. But in the back of my mind all i could think of was my hair being so short.  Seven months later my hair was growing at a nice speed and i was happy. my hair has always been a nice texture but when i went natural it was soft super curly and just amazing. I have 3C Texture. (After this point in time i never i didn’t wear wigs/weave anymore. i was too in love with the curly hair!)

16 Months 10/17/2010(Straight)

My method of straightening

  • Blowout on damp hair with Hawaiian silk 14-in-1
  • Chi silk serum as i flat ironed it in small sections

(it protects from heat as well and adds extra sheen)

it comes out beautiful every time and last in Texas heat and humidity

This was the end of my curly Journey (In pictures). Little did i know that another journey was ahead of me. My husband has had loc’s for awhile now November 12th 2011. I’m the one who started his loc’s and helped him maintain them in the beginning.(he’s been maintaining them ever since) He’s been asking me for years “why don’t you get locs?”, “You wont have to do much to it” & ” I’ll Help you maintain them”  My response every time “No”, “Maybe one day”, “Okay tomorrow” and  “No” again. But i guess one day he didn’t have to ask i came to him and said
Me:”Bubby i want loc’s”
Him:Seriously
Me: Yea Lets do it

          Him: This is awesome!!!!

(This isn’t verbatim but you all get the gist)

He started them for me (October 16th 2013)

Supplies i used:

  • Computer paper
  • Washi tape
  • Colorful tabs
  • Pictures
  • Printables
  • Pictures from bitstrip(i had to actually download pictures of my bitstrip without scenes behind it)
  • A thick but flexible file folder
  • Heavy duty stapler
  • and the rest is creativity

IMG_3770

 

This is the front inside cover to by journal which as you see has the index/table of contents, 50 reasons to exercise and a cute parfait picture guide. The next section/ pages are exercises and flexibility and stretches. pictured below

Next up is my motivation section. This section contains Inspirational pictures of other strong and fit woman. Also this section contains quotes(funny and inspirational). PLEASE NOTE: I don’t aspire to be someone that is skinny. I only want to be fit, healthy and strong.

IMG_3778IMG_3779IMG_3780

 

Motivational Quotes- these are what motivate me to keep going everyday with working out. I know it can be hard out there for a lot of people including me!!! So here they are i hope they help because there are all different kinds for activities you are doing.

IMG_3785

 

This next section is my Pole Fitness and Ballet. I absolutely love ballet i just feel that it is the most beautiful way to express the beauty of art through dance. Its amazing! And for Pole Fitness i think sometimes gets a bad rep because people associate it with strippers most of the time. I think its graceful, elegant and a self esteem booster, so whats wrong with that.  to be a pole dancer it take strength, agility, flexibility and many other things. If you ask me i see it as ballet with a pole. its a beautiful sport as well. its really becoming popular among men and women and even have large competitions. they’re even thinking about adding it into the Olympics. So don’t judge and if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it! 🙂

IMG_3786

Working Out With Marilyn!!!!!

My absolute favorite section in this entire book. I love Marilyn Monroe. She was flawlessly beautiful in every way. Yes, she had her own demons she had to deal with who doesn’t. She is a very inspirational woman and i just had to add her in my book!
