Enjoying the way this coconut oil feels on my skin. I am hydrating my skin by trying natural products because I’m back to healthier habits. And my skin is dry as hell due to this weather.

Thinking about… someone, but I’m not sure if I should call. I guess I’ll leave the idea in my thoughts.

Drinking a cup of tea. I am hungry, and the box of mac and cheese that I made isn’t doing me any justice because I barely ate it anyway. Waste of food.

Researching about indoor plants. I bought this gorgeous Easter Lily and I want to put her in a pot but not just any pot, I want to make sure that she still blooms. (Picture above) I’ll stop in my the local florist in Harlem and ask tomorrow. It’s almost my birthday so you know I am excited to receive flowers!

Just finished mapping out my week of study. I’ll be sitting in the library some afternoons because going home may cause a distraction from my cousin or the kids upstairs.

Prepping for an interview next week. I think I put this one in the universe. I bought a suit, a new padfolio, and on Thursday morning I should be printing out my resume. I was able to do some prior research and I am hoping that I get this new opportunity. It would be an advancement in my career.

Anything new?

It’s 11:00 pm on a Friday night. Sitting up in the middle of my bed and all I can think about are the lives that surround me. This has been on the brain for the last couple of nights. It wakes me at 2:30 am and again at 4:45 am without looking at the time. I am truly passionate about helping people, I believe it is my calling. The problem is, it also affects me and my well being.

Currently: the weekEnd

I’m at double digits in the month without a post. Just to clarify, I’ve been meaning too but my mood and the universe are on two different waves.

These days are better. I’m working hard to end this semester strong but as the weather changes the temptation is prevalent.

For the leap year, I joined friends at Señor Frogs in Times Square, sang karaoke, won free shots, and went home to a fulfilling conversation with a great friend. That was a good night.

March started okay, it’s the other month with in my year for changes. This time it might be a career change. I’m currently researching a career advisor. The other thing is I’m tired of working for under qualified people who set rules that don’t make sense. I could be wrong but professionally, team work is the dream work. So much can get done when everyone is on the same page, but not under the administration that I’m working for. Last year this time, I was going through the same, and after I went to a convention is California, won’t say where for privacy concerns and not having permission to share this, I was given the opportunity to meet some amazing women, and that day changed my life, so anything that is happening is preparation for better, I’m sure of this.

Less than one month away from my 27th birthday! I so have a post about this age but wait on it April! I decided to actually request gifts because I never really get what I want. I am always thankful for the gifts that I’m gifted but I’m trying my luck this year. I created a wish list and will send it to everyone that I think will get me something for my birthday. It’s a fun idea. From tooth paste to art work. I’m a creative now! Hopefully, someone gets me the massage package that I requested, I am in need of human touch. I’ve also been stalling time to purchase my ticket to Jamaica. I decided to go the cheaper route. We have a home in Jamaica and I haven’t been there since 2008. Cuts the cost of hotel prices. I’m getting over a fear and dealing with emotions that I secretly try to cope with. I have shared to a few it’s the reason why I decided to go to Jamaica but it needs to be dealt with. I’ll share this later as well.

I’m ready for the weekend to come again. March weekends are full with all kinds of events but I need a staycation. This weekend, I went to two day parties and danced til’ my feet hurt. Spent sums of money that I needed to deposit into my savings account, and fought fraud with Uber because someone in China used my account! But this was a well needed weekend.

What’s been going on?
