Tet Resolutions...My Version of a Do Over for Adults

Deja Vu..I feel like I wrote a post about this 2014 New Years...LOL
In life, sometimes, don't you wish that things could just go back to the way they were... Mainly speaking of recess! When you would be out on the playground and get to call DO OVER! When something didn't go your way...

Sooooo.... One of the many perks of being with my Babo... I get to celebrate New Years twice!

And in other technicality successes, I get another go around, to the excitement I felt at the beginning of January! I looked over my New Year's To do List from my first 2014 Post - and I am proud to say that I have put into action at least three out of the six - And one of them (job) was kinda forced on me! Hehehe... And so happy to be working with the young girls I get to lead and mentor! Session building, deep circles, working with youth and with a PURPOSE (other than just collecting income)... Yes!!!

The issue for January was that life kinda slapped me again, as I predicted - and I have been trying to pick myself up by the boot-straps - So I really haven't put any focus on anything else but our wedding (it's my source of joy until the transformation into Bridezilla commences) - And it's kept me pretty busy and  mellow...

Now for the BIG NEWS as promised... We will be sending out Save The Dates soon!!! A.D.M!!!(Ay Dios Mio) Holy sh*t!!! This is happening - we're getting married!!!! And I couldn't have imagined a better way to end Tet weekend!

My weekend was consumed with a lot of Yum-yum Vietnamese food, firecrackers, and learning why it's super important to have watermelons and tangerines out during celebrations-

Thursday night was the official New Years Eve - and Vinh's cousin,Vi, told us about this 30 day challenge she is working on along with her friends - And I dunno why, but I hear the word challenge and my ears perk up like a chihuahua's ears-

Rather than working on  a new year's resolution... This challenge allows you to come up with something new to do for 30 days and change it up every month...  Sounds pretty cool... Right!!!!!!!!!

I am a month behind - so I will be attempting two new things for February -

And thus far, this is hard and fun... And I think Vi is right, it's much harder to stop a habit than to start something new...

My Ideas for the year... I pilfered some from Vi and what her friends are doing...so I might keep or change 'em...And I still need one more...  I highlighted the ones I'm working on...
  1.  -Only Drink Water: I have a coke problem! but the most difficult will be not having wine (Maybe just for Valentine's Day...)
  2. - Walk 10,000 steps 
  3. - Don't roll my eyes: I need to come up with an alternative cause this is gonna be HELLA hard!
  4. - Dance, dance, dance (not new - but it makes me happy)
  5. - New Lipstick Color everyday!
  6. - Read everyday this is to watch less tv 
  7. - Train patch to learn a new trick
  8. - Vlog for a month  ( James brought this up and I was like, hmmm...)
  9. - Meditate- Lord knows I need this!
  10. - Go outside and enjoy the suns rays for at least a 30mins ( I spend way too much time inside)
  11. - Month Photo Challenge
  12. - ???

Fatshion 101: Return of National Polka Dot Day

Happy New Year's Y'all! I am happy to be back! I am happy that it's the beginning of the year when the days feel refreshed and reinvigorated. I am not so much of the "new year, new me" attitude BUT a new year does represent a much more glacier pace of life for me. I kinda fell off the face of the Earth or at least my blog since September 2018... October, our birthday month was superbusy, November at work is an insane time and December is for the holidays sooooooo by the end of the year - I am just waiting with bated breath for new years! Aaaaaaaand January is also home to one of my favoritest days of the year! National Polka Dot Day! In honor of the the Polka Dot Queen herself, Minnie Mouse! If it has dots! I want it! I got it! ;-) And dude!!! I celebrated in what I can only describe as pants sent from heaven! They are from Zara and I bought them ON SALE, maybe six months ago and they come in XXL! I fell in love with them the minute I put them on SO ...

EDC 2016: Modesty, nudity and feminism

Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent Give it to me to go to Vegas and come back more of an empowered feminist than ever! Damn right! First of all... (clap, clap) Let's get something straight! (clap-clap)) My anxiety/insecurity prior to this Vegas Wedding slash EDC thing had NOTHING to do with my body!!! (CLAP) I struggle with finding nudity an empowering source! And not because I'm fat but because I've always been a believer in less is more - in where, the less skin I show, the more enticing and the more empowered I feel. Yeah! Ladies and gents! It's possible! And an argument can be made of the same saying; Less is more - The less clothing you wear the more enticing and empowered you can feel! And I say "I struggle" with 'empowering nudity' because we are bombarded with nudity everywhere we look - We are meant to be made to believe that we should all be comfortable with nudity - well I hate to break it to y'all but - nah! I've written ...

Fatshion 101: Learning to Live with Intent and Balance

Note: I started writing this blog in March while on our way Home to the Happiest Place on Earth ---days before resigning from my job of six years... I’ve always enjoyed my time sitting at a desk looking out a window… Which is probably why as I sit thousands of feet above the sky I am inspired to pull out my laptop (That I’ve packed to finish work emails – on my day off)  but  as I type those words- I’ve chosen to f*ck that sh*t – I am going to use my laptop to blog! I am a little  conflicted on where to start –  I’ve had these thoughts, these words, this blog on my mind for a long time… (Clears throat: it has been well over a year since my last blogpost) I haven’t written for fun in ages and I know myself well enough to know that I shouldn’t have taken such a long break from journaling/blogging (Friendly FYI – I maintain a handwritten journal in addition to my blog) But even before the summer 2019 I stopped all forms of journaling completely – I insta-s...
