The One Where I Treat Myself Right

-
Moving into this new year, I’ve struggled with a few things that everyone struggles with such as balancing life, school, and jobs. One of the biggest battles I’ve had to fight is one with myself. Depression. This is definitely not something I love to talk about anymore given that many people have different opinions. One of my favorite opinions I’ve heard is “You choose to be depressed”. It is crazy to me how people believe that depression is a choice. If you ask people about me, they know that I’m outgoing and happy. For me, I didn’t choose, to not be me. Anyways..
With this being said, I’ve decided to listen to myself this year more. To take the time to hear what I need. I’m doing this by getting my nails done, baking cookies, my pinterest bucketlist, face mask, hair mask, or even just taking a walk in a park. This last year, I purposely stayed busy by having two jobs, school and just sleep. I avoided listening to myself cry out. If I was lonely, I’d join a friend or just call it a night. My grades suffered because of this. I honestly did not think I was going to still be here but something that held me close was making plans. If I make time to live, then that leaves less time to feel hopeless.
So what’s next? The next few things I’ll be posting are different ways that I took the time to listen and love myself. This year, is going to be another year of growth, acceptance, and love. Loving myself, family, friends and everyone. I’ll go ahead and link my Pinterest if y’all want to see what I could be posting.
A few things could be:
  • Starting a new charm bracelet
  • Korean BBQ Burritos
  • Making some cookies
  • Braiding box braids
  • Nail ideas
  • Hair mask
  • Tempura fried ice cream
  • North Indian Chicken Curry
  • Pineapple Chicken Quesadillas
And more things!

Here’s to a New Year and great experiences!

Mac & Cheese: John Legend Recipe

Hey guys, I can officially cross something off my pinterest list. I haven't been as consistent as I wanted with the list but here I am. I decided to do this baked mac and cheese that was on my list. However, I was unfortunately missing one of the ingredients. Evaporated milk. I found this mac and cheese recipe, I think the reason I found it to be interesting was because of the fact that it was named, "All of Me" mac and cheese. Which if you know, that song is written by John Legend. I'll go ahead and tag the website so that if you would like recreate it, you can. Just finished boiling the mac and cheese. Unfortunately, it over spilled and made a mess. I took a little from the top. I was scared to eat this because it looked like it had too much milk because i put extra skim milk in place of evaporated milk. I ate it and it was so yummy, it made my meal prep easier and I really enjoyed it. I'm still struggling learning how to cook for one instead o

Kendra Scott Danielle in Magenta In Texas, one of the most popular jewelry brand is Kendra Scott. A little history behind Kendra Scott is that she started her brand in her guest bedroom and now she's rich as.. she's rich. She started in Austin, TX and has spread out throughout United States. There is one a few miles away from me in Orlando, but you can reach them in Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and other retail stores.What is super super cool is that they have birthday discounts. Basically, you bring your ID and give them your email and TADAA you get 50% off of one item or 25% off of decorations stuff. For my birthday last July, I got some Danielle's. They retail for $65 but I'm sure I got them for $32.50. Danielle are a classic style that people see and say, "Oh hey, thats Kendra".They are a little heavy but they have something called magic lobe and it relieves the pressure of the earlobes. I can't wear this style for more than 7 hours but I also

Kay Nailed It

I booked my appointment for this nail thing around January. I found Kay on twitter and was super excited because she was located about 20 minutes around my old town in texas. She recently became popular overnight and became crazy crazy booked. It was crazy because you would have to follow her twitter. I was definitely lucky to even be able to book an appointment with her.  The appointment lasted around two hours and was great because she really pays attention to details. What was great was that she didn't catch any type of attitude with how I asked for my nails to be done. She ran a little late on her appointment before which was fine because I know how she pays attention to detail. Its kind of sad because people get extremely irritated and take it out on her and she can get her business from other people but she really makes sure the client is happy. Even if it is at the expense of her happiness or her assistant. She worked until 10:00 pm that night which is so crazy to me. She
