Own Your Body !


I was on the phone with a friend of mine a couple of months ago when she randomly said " Omg this girl is out here with barely any clothes on she better go put on some clothes she's just asking to get raped "
Hearing her say that set me off .
Why should a women be required to cover he body " in shame " so a man want touch he inappropriately? Why should a women be reprehend for wearing what she wants and be called a slut , a whore or people saying " she's asking for it. And it hurts me the most to hear other women saying these things
I should be able to walk out my house in whatever I please and not have to deal with the extra comments from the " peanut gallery " .
One day I was wearing a top that showed a little more cleavage than I usually show and a woman made a comment to me that I'm asking for guys to look down my shirt and that I was being " fast " 


School dress code :
School dress codes have always bothered me .
It's not that there are guidelines its the fact that girl are mostly targeted
Girls aren't allowed to show their shoulder because of " the way boys would react to them "
They start us at a young age. 
Telling a child that their bodies is this sexual thing so we have to cover it all up so it wont tempt the boys . 

Amber Rose Slut Walk :

 So many people are so offended by the name of her walk but I love it . 
She named it that to take back the name/label "SLUT "
As women we have to take back the ownership of our bodies . We allow people to label us and that isn't . A man can go out and sleep around and he is praised but if a woman does it  she is SLUT , WHORE , THOT and etc . Which makes no sense to me . There is this huge double standard when it comes to sex . 

Own your body !

My Thought
Just a disclaimer I was sent this product for free for my opinion through brandaacker.com
I really enjoyed it . Its great for an on the go like myself . I pleasantly surprised there was no chalky last. I used my blender bottle and 180z of water . Another yummy tip was using coconut water .
Just a FYI you won't see result unless you are eating right and working out along with it .
If you think this would be a magic powder to help you lose weight you are sadly mistaken .

I recommend  this product whole-heartily . Check out SlimQuick is an amazing brand and I will be buying more products from them.

If you get anything from SlimQuick  let me know how you liked it

Music For The Soul : Titanium

There is a song for almost every emotion we feel . 
I personally have my set playlist for depending on how I'm feeling . 
There some songs that really hit the core for me and helps me when sad .
 and songs that help me when I'm happy. 
And songs I truly need when my depression kicks in and I need to closer to the lord . 
Each week I will spotlight a song and tell its importance in my life. 




This song has come one in the most random moments before but it has helped me feel empowered . 
I remember shopping at JC Penneys three years ago , I was so excited  because my mother had have my brother and I money to buy new clothes . 
As I started  shopping and looking through the clothes I couldn't find anything . All the clothes in my size looked like drapes with crazy patterns . 
I was feeling so defeated . 
Rack after rack I kept getting discouraged .Everything I came across was not fashionable or not in my size.  I was so frustrated I started to cry . As plus size woman it's really hard to find really nice clothing when you're on a budget . 
Mid-cry "Titanium " came on . Listening to words I started feeling better .
"You shout it out,
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up"
Just the beginning of the song got to me.
It reminded me to block out the neigh sayers .
 For years I've been so hard on myself about my weight and also getting horrible comments from family members about it too . I was told if I don"t lose the weight I wasn't pretty enough and will never find some in my life (romantically ). I let other harsh world hinder me for so long . Those words was like bullets in my heart every time I heard them .


Titanium has been my motivation song since that moment .
It hits home for me .
Do you have song that you can relate to or seems to come on at just the right moment .

Single Woman's Guide To Valentine's Day



It's almost that time of the year that when i see tweets saying " I don't need a valentine "
 " wine is my Valentine " and etc .
Ladies lets put a end to these tweets today .
Valentine's Day is a day of love .
Love YOURSELF!
Who says you have to be in a relationship to enjoy the day of love .

I have a guide to get you through Valentine's Day

1. Treat yourself!
Even if I am in a relationship I love to treat myself . It could be that new bag you've be wanted or a mini shopping spree at Sephora ( whatever floats your boat) the idea of it is to buy yourself something nice.
My Valentine's Day wish :

Tory Burch York Buckle Tote 



2. Have A Girls Day 
Round up your single girlfriends and enjoy each other's company. Instead of a Christmas secret Santa , have a Valentine's Day secret Cupid . That way everyone goes home with a gift on the day of love

3. Netflix and Chill
Get comfy on the couch or in bed with yummy snack and a glass of wine ( or what're beverage you prefer ) and binge watch that show you've been wanting to watch . Put on you pjs , fuzzy socks and a facial mask 
Shows on my Netflix list:



4. Get To Cooking
Make yourself a very yummy dinner . Forget about your diet for one day and indulge yourself . Make one of your favorite meals that you don't make often . Personally I'm torn between a big juicy steak or seafood .( heck ! I might do a little of both . )

5.  Spa Day 
Treat yourself to some time at a spa . Around Valentine's Day you can always find a great deal . Lay back  and relax and get a much needed massage  or facial .

6. RELAX !
Remember that February 14 th is another day on the calendar and that you should always be treating yourself and loving yourself.

I hope you all have a great Valentine's Day .
What are your plans for Valentine's Day ?
