Refreshing R's

Found this great article on http://www.incourage.me/..had to share....

Truly Blessed Family Organization Center

Here are five “REFRESHING R’s” and some links to posts that might inspire you to creatively REJUVENATE your life at home this year!

RETHINK:

Is there a better way to use the space you have? We don’t necessarily need a bigger or better house, we just might need to rethink the space you already have and then create a home that works for your family.

RENEW:

Renewing your home doesn’t have to be expensive or require special skills. Simple makeovers can be done in a weekend!

How about a fun bathroom makeover or create simple but meaningful book page art?

REORGANIZE:

If a system (or lack of!) is not working for you or causing you stress, it is time to reorganize! I recently solved one of the most stressful paper problems we had in our home, maybe this “Take Action Magnetic Board” will inspire you too? Better organization means less stress, which leads to more peace and more energy!

RISK:

There is something exhilarating about stepping outside of your usual safety zone to try something a little more adventurous in your decor! Adventure will fuel your inner creativity and actually reenergize your life at home. Maybe try something new to you, like mixing and layering patterns and colors or be more adventurous with a color scheme (and maybe take a risk with painting your kitchen cabinets!)

REJOICE:

It’s easy to fall into the trap of seeing greener grass in your neighbors yard, or coveting the house you see on someone else’s blog. But no house is perfect, it is a matter of perspective. And part of that is accepting the season of life we are in and acknowledging how we’ve been cared for. God has blessed us with a roof over our heads. That’s a gift we can be grateful for. How can we creatively nurture that space as a blessing and love the home we have, even if it isn’t our dream house?

Be Good to Yourself

On my way to basketball practice I was listening to Ledsi ...BE GOOD TO YOURSELF....great song and great advice but how do I do that...well why not google it...I did and found this awesome article on Oprah website.. of course she would know LOL.

http://www.oprah.com/spirit/How-to-Be-Good-to-Yourself-Treat-Yourself-Well/1

So I think I got it.....

1. Eat something you really like...I will be making Brownies tonight.

2. Snuggle with something or someone...my single days this would have been interesting...lol but now I have a boyfriend so I will be snuggling with my dog Milo.

3. When your feeling grumpy or stressed .... get creative draw, color, scrapbook etc...I got this coloring projects are ready :-)

4. Stuck in your car... get the music playing and become the best R&B Diva...I am Beyonce when I drive shades and all....oh oh oh ...oh oh oh..

5. Exercise ...although it hard to get to the gym once Im there it feels good and yes I like the eye candy and being eye candy... make sure you are cute when going to the gym please no old tees and sweats...remember we are being good to ourselves.

6. Pamper yourself and make sure it includes Pink...pink polish ....my signature color and yes pink makes me happy.

7. Meditation close your eyes and say ommmm..... it really works if you dont fall asleep..lmbo!!

8. Call your mom...good old mom full of advice and you will always be her baby :-) or call a girlfriend and catch up.

9. Be generous ...doing for others has a way of brighten my day.

10. Watch a movie.... a sad movie can help others feel more appreciative for their life...dosent work for me I always think I am the main character and get more depress...smh...lol so when I need a lift I watch comedy movies preferably romantic comedy.

11. Connect with your roots, get a hobby, or just explore life... happiness is all around :-)

So now that I have a list.... it is time to be good to me :-)

Ledisi – Be Good To Yourself Lyrics

Be good to yourself

Sometimes we don’t listen
To what we already know
Take time to hear me
‘Cause you’ve got to be told

So busy looking for love
Like you don’t know your worth
Get it together
Even when it hurts

You gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can’t wait on nobody else
(No one else)

Baby, be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love nobody, ooh
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)

[ Lyrics from http://www.songonlyrics.com/ledisi-be-good-to-yourself-lyrics ]

Some days you feel like running
From everyone you know
The things that you thought might be right now
It ain’t necessarily so

So much on my mind
Need a break from it all
To get myself together
So I don’t fall

Gotta be good to yourself
(Be good to yourself)
You can’t wait on nobody else
(No one else)

Baby, you gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love, yeah
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)

Oh, when you’re traveling
Through the highs and the lows
Make sure you listen to your spirit
You gotta take care of your soul

Hold on, never give up
You can get through whatever
Always make time
For yourself, whoo

You gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can’t wait on nobody else
(No one else)

Baby, be good to yourself
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love nobody else
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)

Be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You keep looking for the love from somebody else
(No one else)
You gotta find it from within

Yeah, be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love nobody
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)
Be good, be good to yourself

[Ledisi - Be Good To Yourself Lyrics]

All Year Fashion

When shopping I like to buy clothes that can be layered and worn all year long. Today I went through my closet and pulled out a summer wrap dress, denim jacket, and a pair of leggings. Matched them up with my boots and some bling. Ready to go no matter what time of year it is :-)
