5 Must Have Habits of Successful Small Business Owners
In the past, I never thought that I would become a small business owner. I had my eyes set on teaching, and figured that’s what I would be doing forever. Well, of course, teaching didn’t turn out to be the right career move for me. And two years ago, I decided to start my own small business. I began doing private math tutoring 2 school years ago. Having my tutoring business has been really rewarding, although some aspects have been challenging. But it has been a learning experience. And I can’t wait to take my business to the next level. Throughout these two years, I’ve learned that there are 5 must…

Bike Riding
I am not a physically active person. Not at all! I don’t work out, although I should (how else can I burn off all the pastries I eat?) I just do not care for working out, and I hate to sweat. But, I do try to go walking sometimes, or even bike riding. My brother purchased a bike for me some months ago. I enjoy bike riding, but it does get exhausting because I’m so out of shape. We went bike riding recently. I was so afraid that I would be sore the next day, because I didn’t do any stretching prior to riding. But surprisingly, I was just fine.…

My Natural Hair Wash Day Routine
When you have natural hair, your wash day routine can seem more like a military drill. And it can take not one, but several hours. You almost have to pencil it into your schedule. I try to do my natural wash day routine towards the end of the week, usually Friday. This allows me to have my hair nice and fresh for church. Because this process can take a lot of time, I do not always look forward to doing it. I try to think of shortcuts, but sometimes shortcuts just aren’t possible. So I put on my big girl panties and get to work. Last week I mentioned the…

La Croix Coconut Flavored Sparkling Water {Product Review}
*I was not compensated for this review. I did not receive any free products. The opinions expressed are my own. I was in the grocery store when I noticed the display for this product. I saw the word ‘coconut’ and was immediately interested. I began to look at the label for the ingredients. I just knew that a coconut flavored water had to have a sweetener in it. But, surprisingly, it did not. La Croix Coconut Flavored Sparkling Water is a very natural flavored beverage. There is no artificial sweetener. Only natural coconut flavor. In addition, there is no sodium or calories, and no artificial colors. The are only two…

My Natural Hair Products
I began transitioning to wearing my natural hair about 4 years ago. I wore microbraids for a year so that the relaxer could grow out of my hair. After that year, I trimmed the ends of my hair and started upon this natural hair journey. I admit, it has not been easy at all. Yes, I’ve saved a lot of money as opposed to going to the hair salon every two weeks like I used to. I do miss having someone else do my hair as I just sit there and relax. But the money I’ve saved has now equated to time spent taking care of my hair. Having…
