Random Thought of Empowerment!

Good Morning Friends...
Random Thought.... STOP making promises to yourself and not follow through. Your success is in your doing. Procrastination robs you of living the excellent life you desire and can have. You can be your own worst enemy so work on being your own best friend. I believe in you!

Check my video out... I did it!!

I did it y'all. ..My body told me to make better changes and I'am listening even more closely because it's the only one I have! My instructor did not let me give up and I feel the reward and the sweat was coming. Thank you Joe! CLICK ON ME TO SEE THE VIDEO >>> #ymcaIsdoingthedamthing

PLUS SIZE WOMEN IN 2 PIECE BIKINI?

YOU CAN BE PLUS AND STYLISH IN A 2 PIECE!

I think I have always liked stripes and polka dots with buttons, this is a classy bathing suite and the high waist is great for helping to create a slimmer waist line. Another trick is to raise the bottom bikini around your thighs, this helps with giving you more curves too especially if your box shaped.  We love curves all in the right places! Don't be afraid, be stylish!

Saw this on Sammy Dress goes up to an XL and it's only $9.61 you have 4 more days to purchase at this price I believe or it goes back to $16.67 ....

Here is a picture of our plus size beauty and Author Ajay Rochester wearing her 2 piece suite and looking FABULOUS....WE LOVE THE BOLDNESS!

Love your body where you are now and if you want to make change then do so BUT PLEASE never stop loving where you are.........

I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN PREVENTIVE METHODS! IT SAVED MY LIFE.......MY THYROID LOOKS LIKE A HEART....

     I USE THIS WHEN I COOK, I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN PREVENTIVE MEASURES ESPECIALLY AFTER WATCHING THOSE AROUND ME WHO HAVE BEEN SICK FROM SOME OF THESE DISORDERS... I HAVE A THYROID DISORDER THAT HAS LEAD ME TO HAVE MY THYROID REMOVED IN APRIL 2012. THIS GOITER (WHICH WAS MY THYROID) WAS SO HUGE IT LOOKED LIKE THE SIZE OF A HEART. A NORMAL THYROID GLAND WEIGHS 25 GRAMS AND MINE WAS 385 GRAMS. UNBELIEVABLE I KNOW! THIS IS THE MAIN FACTOR IN MY WEIGHT GAIN BECAUSE MY THYROID WAS SO UNDER ACTIVE.
     WELL, MY MOTHER PUT ME ON A NATURAL HERBAL REMEDY FOR TUMORS, CANCEROUS OR BENIGN DOESN'T MATTER. I TOOK THIS REMEDY OFF AND ON. OH LET ME FIRST MENTION THAT THIS TUMOR STARTED BECOMING MORE OBVIOUS SINCE 1996.  
    SO I TOOK IT OFF AND ON FOR THE PAST 5 YRS MAYBE MORE AND WHEN THE DR.S WENT TO TEST IT IT CAME BACK BENIGN (THANKING G-D EVEN TODAY FOR HIS MERCY). NOW WHAT HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS LATER THEY TOLD ME THEY RAN TEST AGAIN AND YES THE RESULTS WERE STILL THE SAME BUT SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY SAW BROKEN UP PARTICLES, IT SEEMED AS IF MY BODY WAS FIGHTING OFF SOMETHING; AND SHE WAS HINTING CANCER IN MY MIND. I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT MY MOTHER SHARED WITH ME HELPED TO SAVE MY LIFE.
     I HOPE MY STORY WILL MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND DOING SOMETHING ABOUT WHATEVER ISSUES YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE. LOVE MY MOM SHE HAS LED ME ON THIS PATH BY THE MERCY OF G-D! 
YOU ALL BETTER GET WITH IT IF YOUR NOT ALREADY.....

TUMMERIC WAS NOT THE HERBAL REMEDY MY MOM GAVE ME BUT I STARTED THIS POST WHEN A FACEBOOK FRIEND POSTED ABOUT IT'S BENEFITS SO READ ABOUT IT AND USE IT IN YOUR RECIPES! 

Turmeric is a natural wonder in the healing world and has been used as a powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiseptic, and anti-depressant since ancient times. The main component in turmeric, curcumin, has phenomenal anti-cancer properties and has been known to help to inhibit prostate, skin, colon, mouth, esophageal, lung, stomach, pancreatic, liver, and breast cancer. Turmeric is also a known blood purifier and helps to soothe respiratory ailments, improve liver function, support the circulatory system, regulate menstrual cycles, prevent cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer’s, and heal gastrointestinal disorders. Turmeric significantly decreases inflammation that is attributed to arthritis and other auto-immune disorders such as lupus, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Turmeric also helps the body to digest proteins and fats as well as to regulate blood sugar for diabetics. It’s antioxidant properties have beneficial anti-aging effects and its anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial properties aids in healing skin wounds and abrasions as well as inflammatory skin irritations such as psoriasis and eczema. Turmeric is available as a powder, capsule, tincture, tea, spice, and/or ointment. Supplementing with turmeric or adding it to your diet will provide benefit for your whole body and is one of the best things you can do for prevention, repair, and longevity.

 My thyroid, freaky right? And this was only half of it! AMAZING.......

 This is what I looked like before and getting ready for surgery. The markings is where the Dr. showed me where she was going to make my incision.

 OF course after surgery... the best rest EVER! LOL..... Oh yes the lip gloss was poppin....
 Great surgery, G-D was ever present and took care of my affairs.... Great staff but I must tell you; the heparin shots are CRAZY! I had to embrace for every shot I got, smh... If you don't know Heparin helps to keep your blood from clotting after surgery. I made sure I did plenty of walking to help prevent that.

Well here is my after, took this picture May 2012. Look how great they did! I was so happy to not have that huge tumor in my neck any longer......

                                                  STILL FABULOUS AND LOVING LIFE!

NUDES!!!

Ms. Garner style in Nudes! I love nude colors and there are a few different kinds, its flavor is sophisticated and appealing. To me it has the touch of class that screams fashion forward and I believe this season everyone is feeling this....
GO grab you a nude outfit, polish, lipstick, and or purse and let us see your style!

Ms. Garner is rocking this Nude outfit and I wanted to share with all how boldly we can go. As plus size women we tend to stray away from BOLD  colors because we believe that they make us look larger than what we are. For one embrace your BOLDNESS no matter how big you are. Love who you are now and if you desire to make change then do so but do it with loving yourself. Please don't hurt yourself with other peoples image of what your beauty should be. Now go on with your beautiful self!

The cut and style of this outfit gives Ms. Garner the right curves. The pleated skirt bring everything straight down as oppose to across which makes your torso look longer instead of wider. This especially works for shorter people and those with a high waist. The jacket breaks everything in the middle that helps with putting all the right curves into place. I think she really pulled this outfit off........

Kimberly Elise was talking about Natural Hair on her facebook page...Someone mentioned Naps! I SNAPPED!! .

OKAY YES I SNAPPED IN A POLITE AND EDUCATIONAL MANNER :) Not really snapped but I want you all to read this.....

Here was my comment about the word Naps used for ethnic hair such as Bilalian people.....

     The work Nappy was used in slavery times to make us hate our hair, it is an insult of a word. I redirect my clients and educate them on what they call Nappy is not naps.
     Depending on how close in your region you are to the sun naturally draws the hair tight into what we see as a curl pattern; the sun also dries out the hair as well this makes it have a coarse feel to it. The farthest away from the sun makes the curl pattern loose or completely straight (European) this is the difference. We were made to believe that this is not attractive but why not? If I know how to care for my hair properly it would give me beautiful hair. I prove this everyday in my work field and love the thought that I can! G-D has educated me and I will always share.

NO MORE INFERIOR COMPLEXES WE SHOULD LEARN TO APPRECIATE OUR DIFFERENCES AND EXPLORE EACH OTHERS CULTURES WITHOUT CONFLICT!
