7 Day Slim Down Day ( 1 & 2)

Ok so I know I am late with my updates.  I have been tired & also been trying to get this school work underway.

Day 1: 
The first day was definitely my body getting used to having less food . I did my morning workout &  had  a silmdown scramble & did pretty well with having the 5 meals.  I didn't make a protein shake as the plan says because I wanted green juice & I didn't have any bananas frozen yet. I also made sure I did my afternoon workout as well & had chicken & spinach for dinner.  I admit I felt always hungry but I did eat every 2 hours.  I don't blame me on being hungry I really feel when your body is used to eating one way for so many years then you do a drastic change with smaller portions & less heavy foods your body is like " ummm yea that was nice but where is the food?" lol

Day 2: This was a off day, I did my morning workout I had a protein pancake that ended into a billion pieces lol.. it was still good. Tasted just like banana bread.  I ended up falling asleep ( I work nights) so I missed meals 2-4 so I just ended up eating meal 5 which was  baked chicken & spinach & mushrooms.   still juiced though & did my afternoon workouts.

Tomorrow is the Day! 7 Day Slim Down (8/18/13)

Well tomorrow is the day. I feel like my life is about to drastically change. Heck it might & it is!  I am just a little nervous though because I work nights & I get hungry at night. So I will have to make sure I pack some healthy snacks or something for that night. I know that is one of the reasons why i gained weight because I eat at night.  I am really hoping I can get my body on track.

I really want to try to blog about my progress & whats going on.  I am thinking Ill start posting some of the recipes I am trying out as well.  I do plan on doing mini updates on twitter @SheisSantana & IG @CurlyGirlBeauty so keep an eye out. I am really excited. 

Check in with yall later!

Time for a change, Tone it Up Nutrition Plan ( 8/16/13)

Happy August!

I know I haven't been updating here as much. I have been focusing on other things.

So Mr. A & I have decided to really pursue clean eating.  We have discussed this many times but I think we are actually ready.  When your really ready then you can do whatever you want.

I recently this week purchased the Tone it Up Nutrition plan by the Tone it Up girls, Karina & Katrina.

I have been eyeing the plan for a while now but never really could make the plunge for the money to buy it.

its $150.00 for a plan that is immediately sent to your email to download. which is great because you don't have to wait. You don't pay for nothing more & have lifetime access to all recipes, community,etc.  Many print their out. Which I have also done, its about 184 pages & then I bought a pink binder ( so girly) & then I made a book of it.

Well Hello again ( 7/31/13)

Well Its been a while since I have updated here.  You know I write when I have the urge too. & truth be told Ive had many points where I wanted to write and had ideas or thoughts but just didn't write it down.

All is okay I guess, we have received some family news that is taking us a while to get used too. I wont reveal it but just please keep our family  in your prayers.  Only God can handle this.

I have just been blogging on CGB and doing some research because in the Fall I want to repackage and possibly add new products to the shop.

I also found out I wont be selling mark. anymore due to them  fully merging with Avon & changing rules, etc  anyway they gave us less then a month to close up shop, after Aug 8th all mark. reps are either a Avon rep or  nothing..  Since I know I wont have  Avon orders every week  & that Im not really interested in Avon I will be stopping.  sadly.

School starts soon & so I am getting my mind prepared for that.  I am also hoping to get Engagement pics done this fall. since it doesn't look like we will get them done this summer.

No new news on wedding planning, some other big things have taken over that for now, which is fine...  no rush..  but of course Ill keep yall updated!

well TTYL!

Pro-Life or Pro-Choice ?

Ok this is an honest post...  I really dont care how any one else feels on this because this is my thoughts.  I am sick & tired of hearing about Texas & the abortion bill.  First off why is anyone surprised this is going on in Texas? I mean really? Besides that..

Second...  I don't care for all the details and that isn't my issue here.  My issue is that abortion is not a form a birth control or is a way to erase a mistake that your responsible for. I am NOT talking about  medically  needed abortions ( whole different topic)  & I dont care to address that.

To me its simple..  besides extreme cases which is not being discussed here, When you have Sex you ACCEPT ALL THE RESPONSIBILITIES that come with having sex & YES that includes getting pregnant.  Because YOU dont  want a baby because your young, no money , etc OH WELL. You choose to lay down  and have sex, you chose not to use proper precautions, you chose that person.  I am a firm believer in the fact YOU put YOURSELF in YOUR OWN SITUATIONS.   Pregnancies can be avoided.

I am all for EDUCATION.. KNOWLEDGE is POWER.  I personally feel so many women want the choice for abortions as a safe escape for whatever reason.  I also know how Planned Parenthood ( by a complete racist ) got started and that Abortions are BIG BUSINESS AND MONEY MAKERS.

At the end of the day these are my thoughts and if you want to know , YES i am against Abortion.  Your killing a child, plain & freakin simple..  I  dont care about your science or arguments..  A baby has to die because it doesn't fit into your life? GTFOH ..

At the end of it we SHOULD have the CHOICE I agree by laws..  I just hope the choice is NOT to do  that at all.  I do commend all the ppl on BOTH SIDES who fights for what they believe in & what they feel is right. Its amazing.

I dont always voice my thoughts on such hot topics because I become very passionate.. but I had too.

Any of my readers  whatever side your on.. that is perfectly fine with me.. I have family members who chose abortion & I still love them, i dont look down on them. That was their choice and I respect it.

But who says I have to like everything? hahah..

6/27/13 ( Not on THAT blogging level)

I know its been a while since I blogged here.. I have been just trying to do some research on wedding things, new packaging for my body butter at the shop & looking into possible new products I want to introduce in my shop.

I also have been busy catching up on posts that need to be written  for the brands that i am working with for CurlyGirlBeauty. I have been so behind on getting pics, reviews & product write up and press releases for the blog and most important its business.  It doesn't look good on me when I don't get the post up for the company in a timely matter.  After all I am trying to make this my business so I am trying to discipline myself.

Speaking on blogging. I have been doing research on making my blog & blogging better and learning the in's & out's of becoming a Pro Blogger.  If you didn't know  I am serious when it comes to CurlyGirlBeauty and my dream/goal is to make a brand, a business that I love that I can also make an income blogging about what I love.

I thought I was doing pretty good.  I have gotten to work with some great brands, make money & gotten tons of free stuff ( I haven't needed to buy toiletries , i.e lotion, body wash, makeup, skincare) for like months.  I have some great network connections & so on. yet the more I read these articles and more so other bloggers who are DOING IT, I am like Damn! I am so not on that level,but I want & will be.

I see & I am learning so much that I should have been doing to excel my blog . It's ok though I don't think before I was ready and now I am ready.  The blog will be redesigned, I have just Temp look up now. Before I have it done I want to find a look or theme that I want to stick with because I don't stick with the look for long and I think when your trying to be Pro , that could be a issue.  Not that I haven't loved my looks in the past, I just want one I can truly stick with for the long haul.

This coming year I want to really look into going to a blogger conference, I think not only would it be cool but also a great learning experience.  I just don't have no one to go with.. But hey I can hang with myself.. hahaha...

Anyway that is it for now.. TTYL!
