Better Choices, Better Living

Lately I've been TRYING to make better choices in my life for my well being. Although I am not 100000% committed, it's the conscience thought that counts. I feel like the word 'diet' scares people and puts so much pressure so 'better choices' is better. The changes I've made I sort of already do, but just being stricter and making BETTER CHOICES. I already L O V E working out, but pushing myself an extra 20 minutes, keep running when I want to stop & just changing it up will make a difference. I absolutely am a fruit and vegetable lover so just substituting those instead of snacks and THE ULTIMATE challenge; smaller portions! It's also no secret that I have THEE biggest sweet tooth, so cutting back is sooooo difficult.
so, get to RUNNING bish!

Why Men Love Bitches

I read this book a few years ago and I absolutely agree with this woman who thinks like a man. My kinda girl! I knew most of the rules nonetheless, great read!


Women & Self-Worth

Growing up I learned about self-worth and self-esteem at a young age. It wasn't long before I realized that I am on of the lucky ones. The media puts so much pressure on women and the way we should think, act and look. I was taught to have my own thoughts and that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. There is a huge spectrum of diversity and it is okay to be different, it's okay to have your own mind. My biggest pet peeve for most of my life has been women not knowing their self-worth. No matter if you are a Harvard grad or a high school drop out, we are so much more than what the eye sees. I absolutely hate when women limit their achievements because we don't feel worthy. I think my biggest goal in life is to help women understand that a man and our mistakes do not define us and that we are so much more better than letting a man abuse us. I feel that a man is just that, a man. There are great ones and there are not so great ones. There is so much more in life than to be in an unhappy place. Every woman has a different story to tell, but the ones that actually make it through the storm can actually show their daughters to succeed under any circumstance. I believe self-worth is taught before we are able to speak and it is definitely something passed down generation after generation. If a little girl is told that she has the world in the palm of her hands then she will believe it as she blooms. While some of us are brought up in struggle, we can better understand the beautiful fight and appreciate success as adults.

Bottom line is, we have got to do better and learn to value and love our-real-selves.
