In My ZONE

Today the weather was BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't resist the urge to soak up a little sun and thank mother nature. In Chattanooga there's plenty of walking trails and parks but my fav is Coolidge Park b/c you can walk, eat, enjoy the riverfront, clear your mind, write in your journal, and it's in route to my house :) I didn't do too much walking. I enjoyed the scenery and jotted a few things down in my journal. Here's a few pics I took:

Listening to music with my big hair :)

The riverfront is so pretty to me

Been MIA but I'm BACK!

Hey guys! I know I've been super MIA for the end of February but it was with good reasoning :) First, I've been working on my nursing school apps and making sure I have the required courses, tests taken, and money saved. So far I've applied to 2 programs, have 1 more to prepare for, and 2 exams to take. Along with that I have been working my job with these basketball and football players. I try to inspire them to want to learn especially when it's free. I mean knowledge is power, a degree shows dedication, and I wish my education would've been free. I sure as hell wouldn't blow it because of laziness! Next on the list, I've been working out 3-4 times a week and working on my eating habits. They aren't the worse but I have a WEAKNESS for chocolate and well candy in general. I started doing Zumba twice a week and LOVE IT and I've lost 5 lbs, GO ME! I have a new obsession for playing around with my hair since it's getting some length to it. When I went to Atlanta I had the chance to go to target and buy some of the infamous SHEA MOISTURE conditioner. I really like it but I love mixing it with the Cantu leave-in I was previously using. I stop putting the Eco-styler gel on my twists b/c with the Carol's Daughter stuff alone leave my hair is bouncy and super soft. I added this EQ gloss to my list of must haves because for the same price I can have a gloss, heat protectant, and frizz buster all in 1 product. I'll probably edit this post tomorrow with pics. The next important beginning in my life is the relationship with my boyfriend. We were off to a HORRIBLE start and I almost hated him but we had a loooooooong talk after Valentines Day and realized we want to make "us" work and want to put in the effort. It's been a better experience thus far and I'm even learning how to cook for couples. It's a major adjustment because I'm a "weird" eater and can have meat without sides or sides without meat and call it a meal. I also make sandwiches and eat cereal for dinner. He's a small framed guy but he suuuuuuure can eat! Well I have to get some more work done, just wanted to check in and do a little rambling *smooches*
