Hey Hey

Hey beauties!

I hope all is well.... I hope all the mother's had a wonderful mother's day weekend. I am doing ok. This past week has been pretty rough. I feel as if during hormonal changes and when the weather is really hot the symptoms get worst. So I decided to track everything in a small calendar. so after I get the spinal tap done (June) I can explain reveal everything that has been taking place in the last 2 months.
For some having MS is a big secret and a sense of shame, for me it's not. NO I do not walk around with a sign that says "I have MS" or ask for pity I just feel that being the type of person I am who is bubbly and happy go lucky, there is no way that on my worst days I can hide it. I plan to document any changes or important findings on my blog as well so if there is anyone else out there who is newly diagnosed or veterans we can be more of support together :D..Take care beauties!

Are you a saver or spender?

Hey beauties!

Many of us had New Year's Resolutions to save money or be smart with our spending however a lot of us continue to purchase valuables or things we believe are of high value. No, it is not easy to save every dollar that should be in our savings but as we get older more responsibilities arise.

I will say, something that irks me is when I hear peeps say "Oh I'm Broke, I can't pay my bills or I need an advance in pay" but they planned a trip to the Bahamas knowing damn well they don't have money in savings *SMH*. I always say if you knew better you would do better. However,I've come to understand that for many there is an exception to the last phrase because many were never taught by their parents the importance in saving. If your parents didn't value the importance of having good credit or saving, what would force the child to make good financial decisions? Lets remember beauties that it doesn't have to be this way, you CAN get your finances together, START TODAY!!!

SAVERS work hard and play later..
Many people who save will have advantages. People who are savers may purchase the Home or Car that they want not what they had to settle for. Savers have the choice to have a college account for their children or investments. Savers can travel all around the world as they please...Basically, Savers for the most part live Life comfortably and always have a stash for a rainy day.

Spenders believe they need to have everything they want when they want and not think twice of the alternative outcomes.Spenders have to settle on whatever living conditions they can get because they choose to spend their money on stuff they think are more important at the time. Spenders would save up a lot of money to purchase the latest name brand clothing,jewelery and/or accessories instead of putting it in their bank accounts. Spenders also will spend all their money to go on beautiful vacation but return home with a phone cut off and lights out!

Nothing is wrong with wanting to look nice or spending top $$$ for your stuff because all in all it is Your Life, just make sure that you take care of HOME first! So here is the question beauties: ARE YOU A SAVER OR SPENDER? and if you are in between how are you handling the situation?

Be blessed beauties ♥

Hey beauties!

Sometimes when you have been experiencing a bad storm in your life you just question, "when will this end?" or "how am I going to make it through?"...I know because I been there. With a great support system and your faith to a higher being, you will make it through. I can smile because I am loving the sunshine that God is providing me. Not only in the weather but in my life...Loving the Sunshine!!!

MS, No not a degree

Hey beauties!

I hope everyone is doing well this spring. I'm doing ok...I recently have been diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis). I kinda had an idea that was what was wrong with me so when the neurologist told me that was the case I wasn't surprised. I'm doing ok though..taking it one day at time. Do you know anyone who was recently diagnosed? or have had it for a while?

Svrbrownsuga's Thoughts

hey beauties!

I hope all is well. I have so many thoughts that run through this little head of mine and at times my heart feels overwhelmed however, with prayer and support from family and friends I make it. I give myself little positive reminders that keep me going. If anyone knows me they would know that I plan to have my own family center. I plan to offer services to married couples, single parents and children. I have more schooling to go so that I can achieve this goal but in the mean time I am still searching for a gig that will offer more experience. I also decided that I want to add another blog for my advice tips and daily thoughts drop ins..we shall see. I hope another blog can work. Any who beauties, enjoy the weekend!!!

Later beauties ♥

God always have our backs

Hey beauties!

I havent been feeling the best. For over a year I have been feeling a weakness or numb sensation with them and recently about a month ago; my left arm has been doing the same thing. Like to grab something was challenging at times. A coworker of mine recommended a neurologist to me and boy was I happy..until I realized I dont have health insurance :( . She called on my behalf and told them my situation. So a normal visit which could have been $400 I only paid $250. God is good.

Working it out..

hey beauties!

So I have been changing up my diet slowly but surely. Its not easy though, I cant tell you how many times I want to go to five guys and have a bacon cheeseburger and Cajun fries but I resist. I love pasta like it is going out of style however if I eat it now it must be whole wheat. I can tell u that within 3 weeks I have lost 7 pounds. This may not be alot to some but it is to me. I haven't gone to the gym this week because I have been having some problems with my legs and arms. For a while now my legs will get weak and have a numb sensation. I am going to see a neurologist on the 26th so hopefully I can find out what the problem is. but any ways....I am keeping my head up and trying to stay active and fit! Are you beauties working it out? how are you staying active?

No love for momma"s??

Hey beauties!

I remember watching a Chris Rock stand up where he was going on and on about Everything being about mothers...he was funny but accurate.
We do make a big deal when it comes to Mothers however while I was listening to Michael Baisden a woman called and complained about her two sons. Her two sons were 37 and 40 and they never gave her a mothers day card or flowers.. Now I understand we do not know the circumstances but I was really taken back when I heard that. Its like my mother always told me and my brother, You only have One Mother and once she closes her eyes for the last time, she Wont come back. and trust and believe We will need our Mommas more than they will ever Need Us..Think about it...

Bath and Body Works...one of my guilty pleasures

hey beauties!
Yes bath and body works is one of my guilty pleasures. I have been a fan since freshman year of high school and haven't looked back since :D. They have a new promo for the sweat pea and moonlight path scents and I love them!! I actually love the sweet pea forever and moonlight magic better than the originals. They smell sweeter and lighter in my opinion so its perfect for the warmer weather that is approaching us :D. Whats your take? have u beauties tried it yet? Hey gotta love smelling good :D smooches!

Is marriage real?

Hey beauties,

I don't know how many may feel about this but I feel some couples get married for a few reasons: money, loneliness, because it sounds good, pressured and because some believe its the next step to "going together". I feel this is sad.
Whatever happen to religion or family values?

When I get married I want it to be because me and my man are READY to take it to the next level meaning we know each other the good and the ugly. We should be ready to become a one unit. Hopefully God will bless us with a fruitful marriage and we can raise children.

I feel in our generation many are infatuated with the idea of marriage instead of what it truly means. Its like no one takes the promise that they made to God (or whomever else you believe in) seriously. Like I cannot stretch that anymore VOWS are a promise to not only your spouse but to GOD. so when times get rough you are not suppose to turn the other cheek or run out on your spouse. We are suppose to work hard and pray. Pray to God to intervene in the marriage.

Like I always say A family that prays together stays together...

What are your thoughts?
