Here’s to always being your B.E.S.T!

Today is not Thanksgiving day, however, everyday I try to remember what to be thankful for. Especially on not so fabulous days. Maintaining a positive attitude I feel is key in order to pursue any goal in life. Maybe, I am too optimistic and naive, but I rather be in this state of mind, than be know as a ‘debbie-downer.’

When I get in my bitter-salty moods, the only way I can snap out of it, is to write down what is important. Truly important. Not my favorite Bratz doll, although I do find them amazingly beautiful. Not my build-a-turtle with diamonds and pearls, even though she is truly fabulous. Not my cellphone or any other electronic device, making my social world fairly easy.

If I stripped all the accessories, decorations, or anything else I truly do not need in order to live, what am I ultimately thankful for?

I try not be cliche’ with terms or statements that lack meaning. Such as just writing ‘life.’ Be thankful for life, yes, but I find that too broad and does not really grasp the core of the exercise. I would prefer writing down, ‘being thankful for living a life where I never had to worry about my basic needs.’ I have received many wants in my life that I have convinced myself to be a need.

But, I truly cannot say that I lived a life and did not have to worry about the necessities, food, clothing, shelter, and love. If anything, I have had only options for each of those categories. So, even though I didn’t have a fabulous day mentally, I know today was probably worst for someone else in the world.

To be thankful for list

Even though I am the biggest cheerleader and motivator for my life, I too, have to sit back and remember what is really important. Cliche’ Alert: I have to remember that plans are wonderful, but I have to take one day at a time.

I’ll share with you my first three:

1. Living a life without worry of receiving my needs.
2. My curly hair.
3. Another day to pursue my dreams.

I hope you take the time to discover what you are thankful for.

Until next time,

Bear tote from forever21.com

Simple, classy, and useful are the three words that come to mind when looking at this lovely tote. The handles are not shown in the photo, but trust me, it is a bag and a cute one at that.

I like to think that this dainty, little bear is happy, wearing her pretty, big bow and a pearl necklace. Who or what couldn’t feel elegant wearing a set of pearls? Pearls were not just made for us sorority women. Although, I can see why sorority women would feel special wearing some. They can help you feel more polished, poised, and presentable. Triple P!

So what makes you feel special? It could be something tangible, or maybe it’s much more deeper than that? Maybe it’s the morning sunrise? I have white, sheer curtains in my room, so my room is bright in the morning. Beginning a new day can be special.

So before this day ends, I am going to remember the things that are special to me. So special, they’re priceless. Such as, inner beauty, honesty, and perseverance.  This bag inspired me to share with you the special things we can discover in our world.

Until next time,

I did not always love my hair. Especially on windy days or even humid days. On windy days it can turn into a lion’s mane. On humid days, it can sometimes feel like a swamp on my neck. Gross! Maybe I provided too much information?

Some people have found my hair to be amazing. Like nothing they have ever seen before. Some say it’s cool, neat, or cute. Lovely, I can still be cute after the age of 24! Below are some more random questions that people have commonly asked me.

Questions:

1. I have been asked if my hair is real?
2. Did it get a perm?
3. How long does it take to straigten it?
4. Is it soft?

Answers:

1. My hair is real, because it is attached to my head.
2. It is a lot to handle, but it is not a perm.
3. Yes, about an hour and a half.
4. Yes, but it depends on how much hairspray I use.

My hair even has a theme song! How many people can say that?

So if you have curly hair celebrate! If not, it is okay, you can still be Sassy!
