"What ever happened to a dream deferred"?
As I said, once a week I will post an inspirational piece for the soul. Remember when you feel good on the inside, you tend to look and feel better on the outside!
Many of us have dreams and ambitions. However, many of us allow fear to consume our spirit to the point where a goal seems difficult or unattainable. We should not let fear keep us from reaching the POSSIBLE! For years I have tried to figure out what my purpose was here on this Earth. Endless possibilities lie ahead of me, yet I have allowed fear to consume my faith and increase my doubt. I now understand the power of being faithful and know that God will never lead me anywhere He does not see fit. Sometimes I think we are fearful of the power that we hold and how great we can be. Let us remember to step out on faith and get up off of our gift and move!! Ignite your gift don't ignore it!!!

Ok, so I did not just discover this product, but I have been using it for a little over a year now and it works wonders for me. I have dry skin, however, my face is part oily and part dry. I have an oily T-Zone and dry spots everywhere else. I have tried products from Neutrogena, Clinique, Aveeno, Arbonne and none of them seemed to work like this. My bff, Shantai recommended the Ambi skin care line, so I went out and purchased. I have been in love ever since. Ambi products are specifically designed for African American skin tones.
1.)The Ambi foaming cleanser helps even out skin tone, balances oily/dry skin, and contains salicylic acid to minimize breakouts. I use this twice a day
2.)Ambi Exfoliating Face Scrub - Exfoliates to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and brightens the skin. Because of sensitive skin, I use 2/3 times a week
3.)Ambi Moisturizing Lotion - Light application, contains SPF 15, does not leave an oily texture on your face. I use twice, daily
4. Ambi Fade Cream - Reduces the appearance of dark marks on the skin. Ok, so I started using this cream and it was working. When you stop using, the fade marks may reappear.
All of this can be purchased for about $40 from your local department store. Try it today.

I finally got a hold of it!!!! Gucci by Gucci Eau de Parfum Spray! What can I say about it-Love IT!!!! It has one of the cleanest scents I have smelled thus far! I had been waiting and waiting to purchase it, and it just so happens I went into Dillards near my house (which is going out of business) and the fragrance was $48!! Originally, $80-$100. What a deal! I have to say it was truly a blessing to keep waiting for it and get it at such a steal. I would highly recommend this fragrance to any parfum lover or anyone looking to just "smell good".
Other recommended fragrances for women:
Vera Wang "Princess" (sold at Macy's, Dillards, and other department stores)
Vera Wang "Rock Princess" - sweetly scented eau de parfum
Juicy Couture
CoCo Chanel - "Mademoiselle" and CoCo Chanel - "Chance"
Tip of the day: For a more affordable light fragrance, try: Black Amethyst Body Spray by Bath and Body Works. This fragrance offers a very light, sweet scent and virtually wears all day. Found at any Bath&Body Works ($12.00)

Monday - All the "Glow"-ry
Still a newborn, my blog is beginning to blossom! Still trying to figure out how to let it flow, I think I have it now. As well as offering tips and useful products for skin care, I thought I would share an inspirational piece with you once a week. Nothing is better for the body than to feel good on the inside.
God has blessed me to experience many things, have many opportunities, be surrounded by loving friends and family, and to become the woman I am today. In my early twenties', I was having a hard time "finding myself". I didn't know what made me happy, didn't know where in life I was going, strayed away from Him and thought I could figure things out on my own. I mean I was going to church, but I wasn't "there". I had become complacent in my job, my relationship, being at home, yet I was still unsettled. I put on a mask everyday and wore it for the world to see. I kept the outside looking good, but on the inside I was so empty and confused. I know I needed to pull away from some things to see what God had in store for me. Afraid to "break away" from it, I stayed in this state of complacency. One day, something happened and my life changed forever. People say God has a way of showing up when you move away from Him and trust me HE SHOWS UP!! I was hit with unbelievable news and felt a pain that I would never wish on my worst enemy. Needless to say, when I went through I called on God to take the pain away and to develop a stronger relationship with him. After a few weeks, I began to feel better and felt a new life slowing breathing into my body ( I call it C.P.R - lol). I started weighing my career options, stepped away from my relationship, and started thinking about places to live. Slowly, but surely things began to change for me and I felt God there every moment. Now 3 years later, I must say I feel like a totally different woman than I was then. I still have some moments (which I call being human), however, my outlook on life has changed and I owe it all to Him. Because of Him, I have a vision for my life and because of Him I can sit here and write this blog and hopefully be a blessing to someone needing help on the outside and inside. I am glowing and I wanna say I owe Him all the "GLOW"-RY"!!!!!!!!
Tip of the day: Rejoice even when you are going through because when you get to the top of the mountain and look down, there is a huge blessing on the other side. The key is to keep climbing even when it seems to hard; just remember what's on the other side.
