Father's Day Gift Ideas

Top 5 Gift Ideas 

Here is my top 5 gift ideas for the perfect men in your life that has earned the title of father. Hopefully youhave  spent the many years getting to know who they are as individuals that would help you along your journey to finding the perfect gifts for them. I know for me getting a gift every year for that special father and father figure is pretty challenging because men are so blah 😂 to shop for. But throughout the years I have gotten so many cool ideas, so here are my top 5 gift ideas. 

1. This is for the sports fanatic you may have regardless of the sport they love. Sports memorabilia has to be one of my top go to. A mug, autograph picture, jersey, ball, shirt, etc... trust me whatever you think of they can put your loved ones favorite team on it. It will always be a sure win when they feast their eyes on it. 
2. If you have a barber in the house, a new clipper or a whole set of grooming tools will make them super happy. My Dad is very good with his hair cutting tools so this is the perfect gift for him. 
3. Do you have a love one that enjoy a beer, liquor or wine? Then a beverage Refrigerator to keep in their man area will be a total hit. After coming home from a long hectic day at work, the ability of being able to reached into their stocked fridge of their favorite beverages to quinch their thirst will be everything to them. They will always thank you for it 🤗. 
4. This one is a no brainer, I know I love to smell my man so getting him a new cologne to try is always on my list. Especially when you are able to put on a shirt of his that has the favorite scent of his you love to smell. All I can say is that is heaven to me. 
5. Now let's get back to the man caves, even if it's only a particular area with in the family room nothing wrong with making him feel like a king. So nothing says king status then a leather recliner with built in cup holders. It's cool for the gamers, sports lover, movie buff, and the one that just prefers the news. I know we have all witnessed them totally knockout in one of these bad boys 😂.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day 

Proverbs 1:8-9King James Version (KJV)

8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

Camren and I ❤️❤️❤️

This handsome and sweet big boy is the reason I celebrate Mother's Day every year. Though times get tough and challenging I never give up and look to God for guidance, because know one said motherhood would be easy. It is truly an honor to be given this amazing gift to carry and birth something so beautiful and lovable. I will continue to raise up a strong, intelligent fine man that will give back to the world in a very important way. He pushes me to be the best that I can be as a mother so it's only fair for me to push him as a son to be the best that he can be in all that he do and work to accomplish. We both have goals to fulfill throughout our lives (some he don't know he even have yet), but I will make sure we push each other into achieving them. I love this kid he loves me unconditionally and bring me so much joy even when he decides he wants to through a tantrum 😂. All the pain during birthing and lack of sleep in the first year is all worth it in the end as I gaze into his eyes and with delight think man I made such a perfect (he's perfect to me flaws and all) child and I thank God for that. So why are you honored to be a mother? Share some of your photos of your babies. 

WANT TO KNOW HOW I STAY YOUTHFUL LOOKING?

Water, H2O, AQUA, VESI, EAU I THINK YOU GET THE POINT LOL :)

        Water can help with those tired eyes you might fight with in the morning or try to conceal with makeup. So you coffee lovers can have your brown pick me up, I'll take a glass of water please. Dark under eyes and bags are just not for me.

        Since the majority of our body is made up of water. It's only right that we continue to fuel it with enough H2O to maintain it's fluid balance. Water helps transport nutrients in the body, regulate body temperature, digest food, and much more. Though water is used for lots of things regarding the body, we are only here to con
        You want to know what will help with dry lips? Yes lip balm will work for a quick fix but the natural way is to drink a glass of water and you will instantly notice the difference.
        You want clearer skin? Drinking water keeps your skin youthful and properly hydrated so it is less likely to dry out. Water helps you look younger by keeping skin hydrated and reduces wrinkles by filling in and plumping the skin. Toxins in the body can cause the skin to become inflamed, which can results in clogged pores and acne. Then that's a whole other fight you will have to deal with. Acne typically leaves behind dark blemishes that gives the skin on your face an uneven look. So if that doesn't make you want to pick up a bottle of water right now and guzzle it all down then do it to help reduce the risk of wrinkles and pimples. Warm water opens pores and cold water closes them to help create a healthy facial glow and even skin tones.
        Water lubricates the cartilage and joints for healthy joint movement.This allows you to feel and move the way your youthful skin looks. Who wants to look like a teenager but feel and move like an old person?
        Believe it or not I am actually much more happier when I drink water than I am when I drink soda or juice. After I dink a glass, bottle or can of soda the next day I have the biggest pimple ever. Of course it spurts out in the most inconvenient place whether on my nose or smack dab in the middle of my forehead. Now how can I be happy with that? Makeup can only do but so much to hide it.
        Protect and nourish your body don't neglect it. Drink more water.

To Waist Train or Not to Waist Train That is The Question

      I'm sure you or someone you know has heard or has/is participating in the new fad that's going around, waist training. If you have been following the Kardashian sisters at one time or another you would have come across a picture or two of them posing in many colorful Cinchers/trainers around their waist. Given their bodies the illusion of having the infamous Coke bottle frame or hourglass figure. Contouring the waist has been around for many centuries dating all the way back from the 16th century. At that point women, unlike today had to endure the pain of what they called a corset. Many of these corset in the beginning of time were made out of very uncomfortable material such as iron, whalebone, and even wood. Today, if you don't want to commit to a corset which can be very uncomfortable and pricey, ranging from less than $100 bucks for the simple costume corsets to an extreme $1000+ for an expert couture corsetry. You can invest in what is called the latex or cotton material waist trainer. Which I have to say is way more comfortable than your traditional corset. 

      Yes, that's right, I joined the group of people that loves to waist train. The reasons that led me to began wearing a latex waist trainer was to help get myself back to my pre-pregnancy shape. Having a child is the best gift ever, but it truly changes a woman's body. My lower belly formed a loose pouch that was very difficult for me to get rid of. Eating right and exercising was not enough to reduce the pouch so I began wearing my latex waste trainer while working out. Typically performing my cardio routine, which consisted of doing a lot of running. In the beginning, it's a bit uncomfortable, but the more you wear it the more comfortable it becomes. The waist trainer promoted sweating, which in return assisted with reducing my belly fat at a faster pace. It helped get my stomach right and tight back to the way it was before my son. Unfortunately ladies it doesn't get rid of stretch marks. 

      Another reason I recommend wearing a corset or waist trainer for the people that have issues with poor posture, scoliosis, being seated at a desk all day, or general back pains. This garment makes it impossible to slouch, promoting good posture. I know you may have read the horrors about the shifting of organs and causing deformities within the body. There are risks when it comes to everything we do on a daily basis. You be the judge go ahead and give it a try. Let me know what you think about it? 

How to make your son standout from the crowd.

       Lately, while shopping for my son I have come across the same look being sold by every children's clothing store. Polos, tees, and button down shirts. Add a pair of denim or Khaki colored pants/shorts and voilà  you have a typical little boy fashion trend. How boring right? So how can you spice up your boy's wardrobe to make him stand out from the rest? That's where I excel. 
      Bow ties, suspenders, ties, hats, sunglasses, and the right shoes allow my boy to shine. Just like women the right accessories can make or break your little ones outfit. Knowing when to throw on a boy's tie rather than a regular tie all depends on the shoes I pair with the outfit. If I pair an outfit with sneakers, boat shoes or boots I throw a tie on him. When he has on his dress shoes, then a bow tie is necessary. 
      Suspenders also give the outfit some personality while doing its job of holding up your child's pants or shorts. Get bold with patterns and prints. My little man always tops his outfits off with the hat of his choice. Him being 3 years old, it's never one that truly match, but that's ok because it's works for him and gives him his boost of confidence. 
     On sunny days of course calls for sunglasses to shield those little eyes from too much sun exposure while given him a little edgy look. Never be afraid to explore with mix matching colors, patterns, and prints. Don't follow the trend, start a trend. How do you help your son stand out?
