Moving? I have a tip that will save you $$$$$!

Missed me? It's been a couple of weeks since my last post! I know, I know, I won't let it happen again! Someone out there must love my commentary...lol!


Ok lets get down to business and the reason you are here!!!

If you are moving you need to keep reading. Large moving companies like Two men and a Truck (ironic I know) can cost you in upwards of $1000.00 per moving trip. Well if you are like me and like to cut corners you'll get your boxes from........drum roll please....Wal-Mart!!!! Yup, that's right Wal-Mart. After midnight, they give away the boxes that the merchandise came in. Yipee! This could save you at least $100 bucks!

Another thing I would try is setting a stop time with your movers. Tell them you have to be done by a certain time and see if they don't bust their butts and finish by then. Sometimes, they will continue working after the stop time if they get authorization from the boss. But guess what....you stop paying because they've exceeded their stop time.

Also, it pays to be nice to the movers! They are doing hard work after all!

There you have it folks! Now you're ready to move! "See" ya soon :)

If you were a millionaire would you tithe? Dwayne Wade Tithes!

Well according to several sources, multi-millionaire Dwayne Wade tithes 10% of his gross salary AND endorsements! I just recently read here about Dwayne Wade tithing. They say he makes in excess of $25 million dollars. You do the math.I found that to be pure awesomeness! But my question is, if you were a millionaire would you tithe? Would you be faithful to God with the money He has given you? Think about it. Examine your heart and your spirit. I don't know much about sports or Dwayne Wade for that matter. But I like the fact that he faithful tither. Makes you think about the couple of dollars you throw in knowing you should give more....

Forget Terrible Twos! Let's talk terrible teething!

You parents out there know what I am talking about. Terrible twos doesn't seem so challenging when faced with *Cue dramatic music* TEETH *Insert shrieks*. Fear not parents I have a cheap and almost free solution.Follow these simple steps for a basically free and easy teething solution:

1. Get one of your baby's wash cloths
2. Run it over water
3. Ring out the wash cloth 
4. Get a zip lock bag
5. Put the wash cloth in the zip lock bag
6. Freeze for 15 minutes
7. Give it to your baby to knaw on

There you have it folks. This is the BEST teether I have ever used. Sure, I have other teethers but none of those work like the wash cloth. My baby doesn't like those but she loves the wash cloth trick. Give it a try! Let me know how it works....leave me a comment!

The devil Doesn't Want You to Know....

If you are reading this message...it is no accident or coincidence. The devil doesn't want you to know....about the knowledge of God. Once you come to the knowledge of God there is no stopping you. But you must first come to the knowledge and the devil is trying to keep you from it.

There is a battle going on for your soul as you read this message. When I say a battle I mean a spiritual battle that sometimes manifests itself in the physical realm. I know the message sounds defeating but there's something else the devil doesn't want you to know and that's the love of God. See, the devil wants you to believe that when you die that's it...you're dead and that's it. Or perhaps that when you die you will be reincarnated. But this is not so. There is a place prepared for YOU.

Maybe you or someone you love is struggling with addiction. Pornography, drug abuse, or alcohol abuse. The devil knows all about your genealogy and he will prey on it. But God has allowed me to type this message for someone today. Someone needs to read this today, don't think you stumbled upon this by chance. You did not. 

My prayer is that if you are reading this message and you have made it to this sentence you will open your heart and accept the Lord as your personal Savior. God is not willing that you should perish. He wants you to know He's been there all along through everything...And He loves you. He see's the best in you!


"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS".

Sometimes life can be so...

Blah....Does anyone agree, life can be blah? Sometimes you just feel so blah. Today is one of those days. Ahhhh such as life. I feel like the girl that is boring.

Praise Break: The God YOU Serve

The God you serve is an awesome wonder. Recount those times you should have been dead. Recall those times you should not have made it. And think about the goodness of the Lord. I don't know about you but there have been moments in my life where I have seen the Hand of God. When I remember those times I can't help but shout Lord what a wonder You are. It is simply amazing how You work things out for me.

Then I think...who am I? Little ol' me. Just a mere servant. But I can see how the Lord orchestrated things for me. Do you remember? Lord help us not to forget.

Has He healed you? Have you been sick in your body and He touched you? Have you seen miracles of those that have been healed?

Lord please help us not to forget what great and mighty things You have done on our behalf. Has He interceded for you or your children? Has He blessed you with a child?

Somebody say Amen! Give God Glory for the things He has done. If God never does ANYTHING else for me....I will forever be grateful to Him.

I will dedicate my life to Him. I can never repay Him...But I can spend the rest of my life giving Him the glory. And raising my children to do the same. My praise for Him is a lifestyle....I hope yours is too!

You don't look Christian....

Have you ever heard that? Well, I've got good news and maybe bad news for you.The way I see it that could mean one of three things. They are as follows:

1. You don't see that person very much which is reasonable. How would they know?
2. They are looking on the outward appearance and not the heart.
3. Your lifestyle does not project "God fearing", "Holy Ghost Filled", "Scripture Quoting" or whatever else would denote you are a Christian. Houston, we may have a problem.

But then again does Christianity have look? Should it have a look? To be continued....Stay tuned.


“But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

Eco Styler Review on Transitioning Hair

Where do I begin? I love, love, love Eco Styler Hair Gel! Did I mention that I really love Eco Styler. Ok, let me tell you why. It smooths my 3C hair beautifully. It gives my hair the shine it needs. And guess what else it does? You'll never guess....It defines my curl even the relaxed ends curls! Now, my hair type is 3C your relaxed ends may or may not curl. But for less than $4.00 why not give it try?

By the way, I use the Eco Styler gel with Olive Oil. See below :) I have not tried the other ones yet.

From Relaxed to Natural: Transitioning Tips

Alright so you are not quite natural but hey the seed is planted and you are well on your way. So now what? Here are a few things I would suggest for those transitioning.

• Realize that you do not have to do the big chop. Rather, you can cut it off slowly until there is no relaxed hair left. 
• The less heat the better. There are so many heatless styles out there. It is said that applying heat affects the integrity of your curl pattern so do so at your own discretion but be cautious. 
• Develop a plan so that you know how you will accomplish your hair goals. 
• Develop a routine and stick with it. The routine should consist of how often you will shampoo your hair, deep condition your hair, co wash your hair, and even do hot oil treatments on your hair.
• Know the products you are putting on your hair. Watch the reviews on YouTube first. This has been invaluable for me. 
• Sulfate and alcohol are not the best ingredients for your hair. However,you might find products that you like that contain them and that is ok. 
• Know how you will detangle your hair....or if you will even brush your hair. Some naturals rarely if ever brush their hair. 
• Get a ruler so that you can measure your growth. It will help you realize your hair is growing.
• Understand your hair likes water. As a relaxed gal, I just hated the idea of my hair getting wet other than washing it. But know your hair likes water. Water is now your new best friend.

More tips to come as I go through my transition journey!
