Kindle Book Club -

I love to read and I am so happy about my Kindle that I stumbled across. My favorite genre is romance...not erotica! Lol
Seriously I love to hear about people falling in and out of love and the drama that tails along with it. Most of the stories end with some type of fairytale ending, but that's okay, that is exactly why I enjoy it!! I love to dream up being in cloud 9 24 - 7.  Reading and discovering how one person loves another person is so fun and pleasurable to read. My first book that I read on my Kindle was, Dancing in the Moonlight by Raeann Thayne. This read was a chocolate pleasure because it was a about a woman who was unsure of herself because of some tragic events that happened in her life and couldn't tell that love was right under her nose. When she became aware that she deserved to be love a new chapter in her life began. I loved it :)


The next read that I am excited for is going to be a little different. The storyline seems to entail there will be some hot relationships, fashion, drama, fun, Reality TV, and the Hollywood life. The book is called, L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad. I am actually a little late on this read when it first came out in 2009 I was not interested especially with all the hype around it. At this point I am willing to see if this book will entertain me!! Ladies I will keep you in formed!!

Pearls of Wisdom:
  • Try reading 1 book every 2 weeks or 1 book every month.
  • You don't need a Kindle to do it. Order a book online or even better go to the library it is free!!

What books are you reading? Please share!

Indulge into a piece of your heaven!!

Feeling glam at work with a bright color top
always makes me get through the day!
Work can really take over life at times to where you feel that you don't have one at all. Most of us need a job to make sure we have the essentials to maintain in life so quitting is not an option. So, why not turn your lemon into some lemonade? Do something to make yourself feel good so that you can have that little piece of heaven. It also reminds you why you are working your tail feather off and in most cases it will pay off.

Start by thinking what you like to do but due to the lack of time you have not had a chance to do it; writing in your journal, painting your nails, make - up, exercise, etc.
Remind yourself this is your slice of heaven and it is your time. Sometimes the small things are what matter most, treasure it, enjoy it and take that with you to work. Although, it may be a long day you have something to smile about.

Examples:
  • Bubble bath and a book
  • Nail polish and a movie
  • Journal writing and a cocktail
  • Jog and a stretch
  • Make-up and Photos
Indulge in your luxurious moment!

Please give feed back and let us know what your piece of heaven was!

We all need a little time for ourselves

Do you have a new job, kids, school, or just really busy? Sometimes we need to take the time out and do something for ourselves. We get so wrapped up in what the world wants us to do and we forget about things that we want to do. I was speaking with my Sorority Sister, Kendra, she came up with a great idea of coming up with 5 things you want to learn how to do just for yourself. There is a lot of things that we mean to do or just don't have the money to do and it can become a downer. Kendra and I turned our downer into empowerment of becoming the woman we want to be to do the things that matter to us. We suggest that you take the time out to see what exactly you want to do. Here is my list below:


    
    OPI
    
  • Learn to paint and keep up with my nails  
  • Learn a language: Arabic/ French
  • My own eyeshadow
  • Get my 6 pack back
  • Eat healthier
We decided that in a year we would have everything done on our list. I am so excited to get started! Ladies when we are all done with our list we will feel so accomplished. Make sure you you set a realistic time to finish your goal. work actively on it and smile your doing what you want to do!!!
