I'm so excited for the year 2015, 2014 has been such an amazing year and I can only imagine that it is going to get better and better! I have a few resolutions for which I want to see myself accomplish this year that I may not have this year, or that I have been inspired since.
1) To work my way into a vegan lifestyle-I'm so excited for this since last year I did it, but did not stay on the wagon for whatever reason and that I am now settled in my new life for the moment, I feel that it will be easier.
2) Grow my hair out naturally and take very good care of it, try to stay away from doing anything with it involving color-which may be a bit of a challenge because being enrolled in this program and seeing all the different hair styles and colors, I just want to try everything! Also to avoid heat. I love my straightener, but I love my hair more and want my hair to stay around a lot longer.
3) Make new friends while I'm up here-people who share interests that are similar with mine.
4) Improve my body-I want to be able to run at least 2 miles without having to stop; I want to see my acne be cleared; I want to be able to use 20lbs dumbbells when I work out; and I want to see myself having at least 15 minutes of meditation or yoga a night.
5) Make an income that I will be able to control to help me be able to do what is necessary and have some extra to pamper myself once or twice a month.
6) Smile more!
I'm so excited to see what this year has in store. I'm sure that something great is going to happen. And what better way to start off the New Year than by getting a head start?
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. With or without snow. As long as you were surrounded by people you love and who love you, I would say that that right there is all you should need for Christmas to happen.
Peace and good tidings!

Dating 101
I hope everyone who is dealing with snow is doing ok. Be careful and stay warm!
So I posted a video up a few days ago called Dating 101 (Remake): appealing to the 5 Senses. My inspiration was from one of the first YouTuber's I ever started watching. And I loved what she had to say and what she wanted to do for people watching her videos. She was a curvier woman and I guess that's why I felt comfort in her.
I was heavy growing up. So seeing a curvy woman who was so confident with herself really inspired me to have some confidence in myself, especially when it came to men. The only thing that I did not really admire about her videos was that she did all this specifically for men. And I'm not saying you shouldn't be sexy for your man, you can, but you should be ding it for you as well.
Now that I look back on it, my soul priority for achieving self-confidence, was through the approval of men for my physical self. It was bad enough that I wanted to get men's approval, but it was even worse that I went about it in a physical and sexual sense. I just had such low self esteem at the time that I used sexual appeal as my advantage.
Sex will always be in. It will always be the "it girl". And it's so unfortunate that society and the media and people have placed it at such a high standard that people need to give in order to achieve something or someone. It's even worse when people pray on victims because of these animal needs that they let get so out of hand.
So this is just a one video that I may start a collection out of. Hoping to maybe inspire some females into feeling better about themselves!<3
Sorry the picture of the video made me look so silly!!

You Are Loved!
This is just a post for any one out there who is feeling kind of low and/or lonely this holiday season.<3
You are so loved! Each and every day, be thankful that you are still alive, that you can live another day. We take the little things in life for granted, but someday, we will realize the little things in life are the biggest gifts.
Think of your family, think of your friends, think of yourself. You are cared about by so many people.
Self love is crucial, and so many of us do not cultivate it within ourselves. Every inch of you is perfectly unique and special and beautiful. Do you know how much your body does to keep you alive and moving each day? It does so many things to make sure that you are taken care of and that you are safe and functioning and healthy. You should appreciate every inch of you, every perfectly created part of you. Self harm does nothing for your soul or your body. You are not able to reach to the higher self of your being. I truly believe that this is the most important part of any one's life. "You will be longer with yourself than anyone else" and you should love yourself enough for yourself.
Here are somethings just to remember:
*Smile each day, not only will it help you feel better, smiles are contagious.
*Look at yourself every day in the mirror and focus on all the wonderful qualities you possess, not just the superficial ones. It's funny how true the saying "Beauty is only skin deep". Everything on the top layer of your body; your skin, your nails, your hair, etc. is dead. We focus so much on external factors to enhance the "deadness" of our skin, and don't focus on the inner qualities. It's kind of funny, in a sad way. Why are we so focused on masking ourselves when in the end it doesn't matter?
It's not that I'm against makeup or jewelry or pretty clothes. I love it just as the next, and I'm super girly, but I don't agree that makeup should "mask" someone. It should be used to enhance our already beautiful features; female or male. But remember the characteristics you posses: your sweetness, your intelligence, you strength, your sense of self. It's so important that we focus on the inside, so that it will reflect love and beauty on the outside.
*Say affirmations to yourself every day. Start with something as simple as, "I am healthy, happy, and whole." (That was actually my first affirmation ever my mom told me to say once I wake up, through out my day, and once I go to bed.) And you can put whatever words together for your affirmations. What you say, your mind will believe. So instead of putting negative words into your mind and creating negativity inside of yourself; manifest love and light and positivity.
*Remember that were "Thoughts go, Energy flows". Do not allow dark energy to over power your soul. It's good to recognize the dark energy for what it is, but do not allow it to influence you. Yin and Yang.
*I believe that everyone has a soul mate out there, whether it be romantic or not. Never feel that suicide is the only option. You are here to find that soul mate and if you take your life, that person will be left to wander and wonder where you are.
*Your family loves you. Your mother, your father, your siblings, your grandparents, your cousins, your aunts and uncles. They love you indefinitely. You are so important to them, so special, such an important part of their life. You will always have family. They are the people who will always love you at your worst and at your best.
YOU MATTER.
YOU ARE THE MOST PERFECT YOU THAT IS OUT THERE.
YOU ARE LOVED.
I hope this helped anyone who may need some love and happiness in their life. <3
