How Coronavirus Affects Educators
Hello my lovelies. So I want to make this post because this is something that affects everyone. As you all know I am an educator and in Virginia school has been closed for the last week and a half due to the coronavirus or its as it is better known as COVID-19. This school closure not only affects me as an educator, this affects my students in terms of their learning.

Weight Loss Challenge
Hello my little lovelies! So this week went a heck of a lot better than last week. I managed to lose a pound and a half. This is very encouraging seeing as I had almost started give up on actually losing some weight. But seeing this small sign of progress gives me hope. And again it's due to healthier eating and drinking lots of water. Being more active helps too seeing as I run around after three year olds five days out of the week and I have a dog that is full of energy so she keeps me on my toes.

Weight Loss Challenge
Hello my lovelies! So as promised I wanted to post weekly updates on the weight loss challenge this year. I figured this would be a good way to keep myself accountable. It will obviously vary week to week and it's not always going to be good. But either way I am going to be honest about this weight loss challenge and give you guys the inside scoop of it all. I may even include a healthy recipe in the posts to give you guys some ideas for you to either start eating healthy or just to mix up your dinner menus. And since this challenge goes all the way into May, there will be plenty of these posts coming so I promise not to make them too boring!

Weight Loss Challenge!
Hello my lovelies! So I decided to partake in this year's weight loss challenge at work again. Last time wasn't much of a success, seeing as it was only for five weeks and basically everyone who participated were almost killing themselves just to lose a pound or two a week. This time it started in October and goes on until May so this time we have a good ample amount of time and we're not killing ourselves to lose some weight.

The Teacher
It was Friday, a teacher's favorite day of the week. In about an hour I was about to walk out the building and go home to my comfy pants and my couch. My plan was to order some Chinese food, put on Criminal Minds and stare at my beautiful Derek Morgan. I was getting my kids' snack ready when I heard my phone pinging like nobody's business. After I finished putting out the last juice box for my kids, I went to check my phone. My friend Belinda had asked if I wanted to go out clubbing tonight. I wasn't so sure, seeing as I was looking forward to my comfy pants and Chinese food. And of course staring at Shemar Moore and undressing him with my eyes. After my kids ate their snacks and went home for the weekend, I packed up my bag and headed out to my car. I drove home as quickly as I could, and just as I was about to order my Chinese food, Belinda walked through my front door.

The Sailor's Wife (Pt. 3)
He went over the next weekend as he normally did. This time they didn't sit on opposite ends of the couch. This time around they were cuddling on his side of the couch. I think at this point it was apparent that they had feelings for each other, more her than him at this point. She loved the fact that his arms completely wrapped around her, and that his head was resting against hers. She couldn't remember the last time she was held like this, but it was definitely before her husband. He would also, every once in a while, give her a kiss on the forehead, also something she hadn't experienced for a long time, even though she and her husband had been together for a little more than half a decade.

The Sailor's Wife (Pt. 2)
A week passed and she missed him. She missed his cuddles. It was weird because it wasn't his kiss that she missed, it was his cuddles. She just wanted him to cuddle her. That was all. So when he asked if he and a friend could come over she didn't mind too much. At least she was able to see him. So that week he showed up with his friend and they stayed a couple of nights. She had a few glasses of wine since she had a stressful day at work. The friend went over to the 7-11 to get a drink or two.

Dip Powder vs Acrylics
Hello my little lovelies! So it is no secret that I have been experimenting with different nail designs, and recently dipped my toes into the world of dipping powders! I just wanted to write about the stuff I liked about the two methods, and stuff I didn't like so much about each technique so that you can make your own educated decision about which method would be better for you if you are considering getting your nails done.

Finding My Self-Worth
The last six months or so have been one hell of a whirlwind journey for me. For some reason the universe decided to send me a wake up call of sorts. It wasn't until six months ago that I realized that I had fallen out of love with myself years ago. I hated the way I looked. I didn't believe people when they would compliment me or say good things about me. I always just thought that I was being humble once it came to that.

Never Losing Myself Again
People have pointed out to me for the last few years that I've slowly lost myself in terms of my stubbornness, my drive and just overall the things that made me well, me. I didn't listen to them because I honestly thought they were crazy and that they didn't know what they were talking about. I was young, I was in college and I knew exactly who I was and I haven't lost myself like everyone said I did. I started realizing recently that they were right. I’ve had time to reflect and re-evaluate on the last few years. I’ve realized that I settled for a lot of things that I never would have settled for or at least I didn’t think I would.
