Failure

I feel like a failure.  I set out to accomplish a goal and I’ve missed out on at least 5-6 weeks of that goal so far.  I’ve been so out of the loop of writing that I haven’t posted an essay since week 11(ish)… I kinda feel like crap about it.  I haven’t lost steam,…

Self-Care Sunday Highlight: Music

This week’s highlight for self-care is one of my personal favorites: music. Photo Cred: Google Images Music is one of the most therapeutic things I utilize in my day-to-day life.  I can pretty much listen to any type of music, as long as it gives me good feeling vibes.  I have always loved music and…

#HairGoals for 2017

Just like I have goals for my life in general, I’ve been contemplating some hair goals of my own as well.  I’ve had locs since 2013 (for details on that, just peruse my #ConfessionsOfALocdGoddess hashtag) and I’ve done pretty well as far as maintaining them myself with little to no time in a salon.  I…

No Scale Victories

Don’t Get Stuck Indoors

Usually, when I workout, i do minimum 30 minutes cardio a day.  Sometimes i break it up (15 before, workout, 15 after) or i knock it all out before or after.  I try to make it a requirement for each gym session, but lately, I have gotten a little lax.  I do my cardio on…
