*Blows dust off blog* Hmm, since I'm not working summer school I need to do something with myself. Should I share all the fantastic teacher tips and plans I'm working on for 2013-2014? Uhm. No. Teaching is my career, not my life. Which leads me to why I'm really here. My life has been all about winding down the last few months of school. Sad I know, but when you're single and your one and only

~TODAY'S QUOTE~ "El que no llora, no mama." ~TODAY'S HOROSCOPE~ Cancer's Horoscope (Jun 21 - Jul 22)  Saturday, March 23, 2013 When confronted with unpleasant situations, you often pull into your shell where you are safely out of harm's way. Unfortunately, the danger of this evasive strategy is that your unexpressed anger may create more problems now than a short-lived conflict.

"People living deeply have  no fear of death."  ~Anais Nin  Today many of my friends are attending a vision board gathering. I opted not to. After posting this, I have a long list of not-so-grand tasks awaiting me. Not to mention, I've finally accepted my issues are not designing my vision(s). It is implementing them.  A couple of days ago, a friend of mine

2day I'm grateful 4 my Creator,  another beautiful day, appreciative parents,  the laughter of children, and continued patience! So yesterday I was really feeling myself. Maybe because I TRULY enjoyed my time off and am happy to be back at work with the kiddos this week. HAHAHA! Seriously, I always return ready to run a marathon and love to see the children in their new

Hey Beautiful! Ever get an invite of some sort and click "Yes" without reading ALL the details? That is exactly what I did and found myself agreeing to Mr. Shut Up and Train's 30 Day Cardio Challenge. -_- It's so much more to it than drinking more water and a few minutes of cardio!

"The difference between can  and cannot is only three letters.  Three letters that can shape  your life's direction."  ~Remez Sasson  Imagine if the Little Engine told himself, "I think I can't!" He would have remained at the bottom of the hill. Children would not have been inspired to understand the benefits of hard work. It's so easy to compare ourselves

To know me is to love me! But to TRULY love me is to accept that I refuse don't cook with any regularity. I use to and I can. I just don't anymore. I prepared many great meals, hosted several family dinners with loads of compliments, even whipped up homemade pancakes or biscuits with home-style potatoes, etc., on the weekends. Needless to say, since it's just me now, dining out is

Son: "What you got going tonight?" Me: "I'm celebrating me!" Son: "Really? No, what are you doing??" Me: "I'm celebrating me. Dinner, wine, movie, bath, etc." Of course he gave me the side eye shook his head and I could see the cartoon air balloon above his head with the phrase "My mom officially doesn't have a life". Maybe I don't. But I believe, life is how you perceive it. You can

As I prepare for the coming of 2013, I think about what I have to accomplish in the last few hours of 2012 as well as those things I need to leave behind me. I rush out to the grocery store to stock the pantry and avoid being left with the last ragged, wilted bunch of collard greens. I grab a pretty set of undies, especially since I rarely buy them as a matching set. I wash every piece of

Today, the Trayvon Martin case has prompted me to dust off my blog.  Actually I felt like sounding off before now, but I decided to wait for a few more facts to emerge. I tried not to run on pure emotion as hard as it is.  So I sat back, watched, announced my disbelief  like so many others, retweeted a couple of support for justice messages, and posted the 911 call links on

Green w/Envy by simplymzg featuring acrylic earrings Along with the ups and downs of weight gain, I find myself struggling to put together an outfit I can still wiggle into without something popping off.  My daily ritual begins with me standing in my closet pushing aside several cute things I can no longer wear.  It ends with me mentally exhausted and grabbing whatever is baggy

Hey Beautiful, Recently I have ventured into the world of Ebay and decided I'd share my finds with you.  Today's dish is a 26 Color Eyeshadow Blush Concealer Palette from Ebay seller etrade168.  Since this is a neutral palette, the colors are matte or have limited shimmer. Just in case you decide to skip the video, here's the rundown: The Good: Goes on smooth and most colors

It's been a long time since I've posted anything of interest.  But then again, it may only be interesting to me.  Oh and maybe to that one sympathetic blog stalker I acquired along the way.  The one who attempted a not so innocent web search for "Magic City Girl", found me, and decided to never leave.  So I'm writing for the two of us now. Staying true to the game

So to my naturalista diva friends- I hate saying omg but O.M.G!!! I finally walked into Sage Naturalceuticals and they carry my absolute favorite product from Qhemet Biologics as well as lines from Original Moxie, Darcy's Botanicals, Oyin Handmade, Zenzele, Komaza Care (and I could keep going).  I was in there trying to figure out what to try today and what to come back and get next week

Ever go to reach for that perfect necklace that you specifically purchased to match up with your little black dress, only to discover that the other necklaces beside it obviously got a little jealous and wrapped themselves around it in an attempt to choke the life out of it? Two days ago, I spent 30 minutes untangling a necklace that I just found in knots again today. What the Hellmans?! Oh, what

Ok so the other day one of my favs posted a rant titled "Man of the House?" Yes the question mark was very intentional. The trigger was how she came to her cousin's rescue concerning a dead car battery when others specifically, menfolk, did nothing. She noted how we are forever provided with endless magazine articles, books, etc., on how to get and keep a good man. Yet, many men expect to be

In light of their recent behavior, you may no longer dismiss some erratic or inconsiderate behaviors as 'just one of those things.' In fact, it may be part of a pretty clear pattern.

“Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow” ~James DeanIt would be a beautiful thing if I could lie down, close my eyes, and go to sleep. But I’m up pondering and questioning my rationale for making certain decisions in life and dreaming. I always go back and forth on the sleep thing, but lately it’s been different. Today I realized that it's due to the fact that this is my
