I just want my body back

January 16, 2016 | 2 Comments

I just want my pre baby body back.
Before I had Alani I was a workout beast, I had my little abs forming, which was my main focus. I was able to run about 5 miles, I was just in the best shape of my life.

I started working out again during the spring time last year, but that all came to a stop when I experienced a knee injury. My Doctor told me it was okay to start working out again months ago, but I was scared and too lazy, honestly. Now, I am ready to get back to the old me; I think I’m mentally ready.

Every time I get ready to start working out again for the 1st time, I always start off with this 3 day Dr. Oz cleanse. [Read more…]

Terrible twos, but my baby’s not even two yet

January 14, 2016 | 4 Comments

So for a couple of weeks now Alani has been off the walls, I mean like terrible two’s off the walls; keep in mind we still have about 7 more months until she’s officially 2.

Anywho, it can be very stressful. The; no don’t do that, put that back, don’t throw all the books off the shelves, don’t take all the clothes out of the drawers, no running at FULL speed, no running at all, no you cannot eat all of your Popsicles, the list goes on. However, it’s so cute when she says “I wan ice” meaning her icey 😉

Now she’s at this stage when she hears the word “no” the world has just come to an end, this consist of crying, more like screaming at the top of her lungs, nonstop until she gets what it is that she wanted. It’s a constant battle of do I stick to my word, or just give her what she wants and put us both at ease with silence. She constantly wins because that crying can drive the most patient person crazy, but then it’s like I just taught her that all you have to do is cry whenever you want something, and that’s the last thing you ever want to teach your child.

Vision Board Party

This past weekend, a friend of mine hosted a vision board party.

It was so inspiring, and I am glad that I went (Thanks for the invite Widza, and Miniola).

It was a group of ladies, and we all spoke about what our passions were, and what we wanted to do with our passion.

Everyone had a different passions, and was able to receive advice from others.

I think gatherings like this one is great for women; coming together, being positive, and motivating others to be all that they can be.

If you haven’t already go ahead a plan a vision party with you and your girlfriends.

I’m definitely loving how my year is starting off. Everything may not be in order but i’m definitely in a happy place, and an inspiring one too.

What am I passionate about, and what do I want to do with that passion? [Read more…]

Some of Alani’s favorites

January 7, 2016 | 1 Comment

The holiday season is over, and I want it to come back already.

During the holiday season we read a few books, Alani liked some more than others, and some not so much. The fact that she has a preference for a book makes my heart so happy, even if she just wants to look at the pictures.

Here are the ones she really liked during the holidays.

Adventure Before Christmas – This book was actually written by one of my high school classmates. Although, Alani may not understand the story, I’m sure it would be one of the books she’ll enjoy as she gets older. If you have a child or even know one, support my classmate, and purchase yours today.
Dream Snow– I absolutely love everything Eric Carle!
Corduroy– Corduroy is a classic, I remember liking this book as a child, and I’m glad Alani does too.
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom– This book is just one of those books, that everyone enjoys because of it rhythmic tone.

MoSex

Sekou and I haven’t been on a date with just the two of us in a while, so this past weekend Sekou planned the day.

And when you let Sekou plan a day of fun you end up at the Museum Of Sex.

I was a little apprehensive at first, but then I said, hey sometimes you gotta live a little.

I would describe our experience here as different; different from all the other museums we’ve ever been to. It was also informative, there was somethings I’ve seen that I had no clue about prior to.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to go to a museum out of the ordinary, and just have fun. It’s open to anyone over the age of 18. We seen young people, and even older people, so if you’re of age go ahead a visit, and let me know what you thought of it.

I’d suggest purchasing your tickets online to skip the long wait outside.
