L’Oréal Elvive Revive

nwomack28Blog

Hey,
Today I am sharing with you my experience with Elvive Revive by L’Oréal. I received Elvive complimentary for testing.

When I tried this product on my hair I was amazed. My hair gets extremely dry in the winter something I loathe. So when I tried Elvive and I immediately saw a difference. My color that was fading I started seeing again. It’s almost like my hair game alive again.

The second time using Elvive. I realized this would become a staple in my hair care products. Would I recommend this product? Yes, absolutely.

How I Plan & Organize My Goals!

nwomack28Blog

It’s a new year and I found a better way for me to plan, organize and stay on top of my goals. I tried using planners in 2017. Well, let’s just say they didn’t work for me. I found myself using more journals and more composition book than anything else. So this video explains how I keep it all together. Some of my planning ways may work for you. If you some ideas that you want to share just comment and I may put some of your tips and tricks into action. Happy New Year!!!!

Rest Day…

nwomack28Blog

I’ve decided to take a mental rest day. Being a mother, wife, friend, small business owner, and volunteer. Can be a lot to handle at times. Especially when everything is coming at you all at once. In my life, I tend to take on more than I should without giving myself time to rest or reset. Which in turn causes me to deal with a great amount of stress. Too much stress has led my anxiety to be in full force. Dealing with anxiety and being manic depressive is enough in itself. But when fuel continues to be added to the flame, a great explosion is waiting to erupt. I don’t want this to happen, though I feel it coming on. Something definitely needs to change. I can’t stop being a mother or many of the other hats I tend to wear. So I have to make a change for myself. If only for a day.

Do you find that you feel the same way?
Do you find yourself saying you need to catch up on sleep? ( Which will never happen)
Do you find yourself being everything to everybody every day?

I suggest you do the same thing I plan to do. Take a rest day. Just one day a month or a week when you forget about the housework. Forget about running all those errands. Let the laundry go for a day. Don’t respond to text and useless phone calls. One thing you will never be able to do is to catch up on sleep. That will never happen. However, you can take a day to de-stress, unwind, clear your mind and just let go.

Rather you choose to sleep, watch tv, go to a spa, window shop or just do absolutely nothing. Do it. For your mental clarity and sanity. We all need to just take a day to rest then start up again tomorrow.

Your body and mind will thank you.

Riddle Me This…..

nwomack28Blog

As you all know, or maybe you don’t I am working on my second novel. And no its not yet the sequel to Genevieve. I am working on a novel that is in a whole new genre and more of a worldly realm. The question is, there are too many distraction. All around me is noise, noise, noise. My thought is to get the first chapter going. Once I do that then I know the creative juices will flow fabulously. It’s just getting there, for all of you writers I know you can relate to what I’m talking about. Do I leave home and go somewhere quiet? Impossible because I am feeling like crap today and I already went out once. Do I scream at everyone in the house and tell them “Hey I’m trying to work!” This normally isn’t a problem for me to work around the noise but the issue is I need this first chapter to be the capture chapter. If you aren’t intrigued in chapter one, you won’t be intrigued throughout….

Help Me!!!!

This Michigan Weather

nwomack28Blog

First off I want to say, I hate the cold lets just put it bluntly. I have lived in Michigan my entire life. Yes! One would say I should be use to it. However, I can never get use to the cold weather EVER!!! A few days last week it was very nice and starting to get up in the 60’s. Oh boy was I loving it. Today though 46, yes 46 degrees. The sun is shinning but it is still cold. I want to start getting out there and walking. So that I can start walking away some of these pounds I packed on these last 5 years. Ugh! I can’t wait until May when I go to Georgia for my nieces graduation. It’s nothing better than my visits to Georgia for me. It’s been a while since I traveled there anyway.

So if by chance any of you live in a warm state or a state that has warmer weather than me let me know. I can live vicariously through you.

Recovering from surgery…

nwomack28Blog

Happy Valentine’s Day first and foremost.

So I had my surgery on Friday and I must say when I came home. I was in so much pain I wanted to scream to the high heavens. Knowing that this would have only made things worse, I didn’t. I tried my best to sleep on Friday but my lovely children were so concerned about my well-being I barely got any sleep. I think they were just nervous. My sweet precious children. My daughter of course didn’t want to leave my site and has been doing so much to make me comfortable. Going as far as even following me to the bathroom. I had to put an end to that yesterday. Mama needs her privacy. So how am I feeling today. Well I made the mistake of going down my stairs, what was I thinking? Big mistake is what it was. First off when you have any kind of surgery done to your inside lady parts and the doctors tell you to take it easy. You seriously need to listen. Today is not only Valentine’s Day. It is also my 3rd child’s birthday. So, I wanted to go in the basement to get the presents I had for him. Yes I came from my upstairs bedroom, to the second floor then down to my basement. Two days from surgery. I’ll tell you one thing. I will not be doing that again. Rest means rest. Though being still and not being able to cook or clean is driving me insane, the pain I am feeling is more overbearing than I can take. Therefore, for the first time in my life I must learn to sit still and allow others to help me. Hopefully the next time I post, I will be back to my old self. Up sewing, crafting, blogging, vlogging and most of all back to taking care of my family. Till next time guys and gals…
