About Me

My photo
Creativity would best define me whether it be in the form of food, hair, writing, or self development. Although each of these is quite different they are all interconnected. I use them all as a way of escape, self awareness, and empowerment. I feel as though if I can make a difference in at least one person’s life I’m happy. These three things afford me the opportunity to make a difference.

I'm all aver the place when it come to tracing.  I guess one of these better work, I like to add them together. Phase 2 will be Aqua no post though for various reasons.













Alternative Moves

Cauliflower flower has become a staple to making food alternatives.  This at one time rare to be eaten food can be transformed into rice, pizza crust, potatoes, hummus, grits, macaroni n cheese, and when all else fails Raw.  This is my rendition of grits eggs and turkey bacon.  Nope, it's cauliflower!!!! After all we eat with out eyes first.  #diversefoods #cleaneating

Philadelphia Penn's Landing Tall Ships


This was and outstanding inexpensive family events $7.00 to get in and $15-$20 to board one of the Tall Ships.  Our family decided to just sight see and enjoy the festivities.  It was grate to see how many came out to take part in this event. It was disappointing not to see the oversized Rubber Ducky there was a malfunction and it deflated.

Morning Abs


This included planks......

Down 2 More


This will be a slow but steady journey.  My nights are still my worst part, for many years I've been a night eater.  What I do realize is that I don't sleep as well as I use to think when I eat late.  Last night I tried a couple of Gluten Free Cookies and I also had watermelon.  I do realize that Gluten Free doesn't mean fat free or sugar free.  Today's post will include some of the foods I've eaten.  One day at a time and every little step.  Most important is I'm down 2 more pounds.  I'm excited.

Keep it Clean

Clean eating 

Healthier Lifestyle Journey


I'm back at it for the long haul I will be dedicated, committed, and determined to reach my goals NATURALLY.  The struggle is real and I'm still in the exploring and experimenting stage. My healthier eating is influenced by JJ Smith Smoothies, Paleo, Paleo Smoothies, and Keto.  I'm transitioning into organic and grass- fed eating.  I'm happy that I've joined a gym and am approchin my third month.  I've grown to love exercising; walking jogging weights, Aqua, and floor activity.  I'm ready for a new healthier and leaner me. I'm embracing the prep time as well as the economical expense it will take to reach my goal.  One day at a time is my approach and when I fall off tomorrow is yet another day to get it right.  I will be as candid through this journey as I can.  I'm looking forward to a great journey.
