VERY neglectful

Sorry, I've been neglecting my blog. I haven't checked all your blogs in a while, but I will get to that.... soon.

SHOW::::::
I really love that show "How to Look Good Naked" how awful for these women to hate their bodies and feel inferior. I am gald that Carson is able to have them see their beauty, what really gets me is how others view them as gorgeous, as a "10".......... and they see themselves as ugly or a "3".

FRAGRANCE:::::::
I found a new fragrence, since Cool Water was such a disappointment. It seemed to disapear within an hour.

I did like "Golden Goddess" by baby phat but it is kind of expensive, my sister got me " Japanese Cherry Blossom" bath and body works body cream, WHICH I FELL IN LOVE WITH. So, I bought the body wash, more body cream, perfume, and body spray. Not only is the smel luxorius, but the body cream is so moisturizing..... all the dry spots on my feet are GONE!!!!

GASTRO DOCTOR:::::::
So, I kind of backed off the whole gluten free thing, I still think I AM GLUTEN INTOLERANT, but its just so expensive and fattening. I still watch what I eat but just can't live on gluten free. I have lost 10 pounds since I joined Weight Watchers and am able to wear my size 14 courdoroy pants, sure they're stretch pants, but THEY ARE SIZE 14!!!!!

BOARD OF DIRECTORS:::::::
I love being secretary of the board, the President and I are in charge of setting up the agenda for the next meeting (which was never done before), I also tape and type minutes and when they are approved save them in PDF form add have them added to the website. I email the managment company the unnaproved minutes to look at for the next meeting, and any other doucments or forms we need to discuss a the meeting. I also create flyer to be put in all hallways to remind owners to attend the meeting.

It is satisfying to know things are being done the way they are supposed to. The only negative is that some board members don't udnerstand their role or want to keep things as they are, which is not why they were elected to the board. Thankfully the majority of us want positive changes and will MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!

we have an executive meeitng tonight to discuss a few legal issues and someone will be coming top explain the roles of the officers versus the board members, what the president CAN do and is ALLOWED to do!!!!

HOW TO LOOK GOOD NAKED

OH MY! I love the show,

I cried along with Layla as she described why she hated her body, her body image was morphed and she did not see her beauty.

Carson helped her to realize how beautiful she really is. The best part was when she was trying on different undergarments and realized she was sexy, beautiful, hot in her own body.

I JUST LOVE IT. I wish all girls and woman could love their bodies.

No more...

body criticizing,

starvation diets,

drastic surgery,

mothers criticizing their daughters,

no more comparing ourselves to magazine covers,

ENOUGH

We need to start loving our bodies, we are beautiful, gorgeous, powerful, confident women.

New Year, New Show, and Healthy Me

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Celebration. I love the holidays but can't stand having to go back to work. But alas, if I want to live in a condo, drive a car, watch TV, eat food, and commuicate online then I need to work. And to think, I couldn't wait to grow up?!?!?!?!
.
.
I can't wait for the new show "How to Look Good Naked". I just love this concept and can't wait till it aires this Friday on Lifetime. I believe everyone woman should love her body and feel good about herself.
.
.
I have joined Weight Watchers again, not because I don't love my body, but because I want to be healthy again. I want to walk up stairs without becomming completely out of breath. I want to be able to play with Balboa and not need a break after five minutes. I want to stop spending money on clothes that will fit instead of just wearing the clothes I already have in my closet.

Daily Diva & Inappropriate

The following quote (WHICH I LOVE) is taken from ................
Bobbi Brown Beauty - The Ultimate Beauty Resource
chapter 2 - The Bobbi Brown Philosophy

"I try to look my best, as most women do. I do it mainly for myself, but I like it when someone tells me I look pretty. I think everyone likes to hear that compliment; pretty is a magical word. After fifteen years as a professional makeup artist, having done thousands of women's faces, I believe looking pretty is not just about doing nice makeup or possessing exceptional God-given features. No, I am convinced that confidence is probably the most compelling element of real beauty. In every aspect of my life, I consciously strive to boost my self-confidence. I make a practice of limiting negativity and hassles that can drag me down or erode that self-assurance. A positive outlook shapes my roles at home and at work-as a wife and mother, and as a makeup artist and the head of my own cosmetics company: it is, I hope the guiding principle of this book."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't mind joking around with my co-workers, but sometimes people just get creepy. Must you turn everything I say into a sexual joke? Why do you always have to say hello in a creepy way? Why do you think because I am a woman it is okay to make sexual jokes in front of me? There is a big difference between joking around with me and getting very inappropriate. Well I'm not going to take it anymore, I WILL call you out on your inappropriate behavior.

Diva, Fragrance, & Managing Conflicts

DIVA:
If someone compliments you, accept is gracefully.

A DIVA knows how to take a compliment. DON'T shrug it off or make an excuse. ACCEPT IT... Thank the person, but don't feel you need to make a fake compliment in return. They complimented you for a reason.

JUST accept the compliment. YOU DESERVE IT!!!!! A DIVA always deserve compliments!!!!!

Fragrance:
I finally found a fragrance I love!!!! Cool Water for woman. I wanted a sophisticated and sexy smell, and now I have it. I just have to figure out the perfect amount to apply so that it lasts all day but is not overwhelming.

Managing Conflicts: I had a workshop on Wed morning. The presenter was awesome, she just makes you feel powerful. I have techniques for understanding personality types of those I work with and strategies for dealing with those people.

Catching on & Tis the Season for COLDS!!!!

OH MY, so many people have told me they LOVE getting the Daily Diva emails. This makes me so happy! I want every woman to feel powerful, confident, and beautiful.

*************************************

The past two DAILY DIVAs....

MONDAY: Walk with your head up, shoulders back, nice and tall, and look everyone in the eyes. You know where you're going. People will notice your power and step asside. Your power and sexiness bring energy to the room, even when you leave your escence is still there.

TUESDAY:

What is sexy?

The definition is different for all of us, don't force it, don't pretend. Be yourself, be natural. When you feel good with yourself, when you feel confident, when you're having a good time........... You're a DIVA.
.
Enjoy life, smile, laugh, have a good time, your natural beauty will come through.
.
Being a DIVA is more than just sex appeal, its power, its success, its confidence.

*************************************

The cold is coming, I just know it. I can feel it in my nose, chest, and throat. I have been drinking lots of OJ, bundling up when going outside, I have the mucinex pill ready to go when I need them. It's just so fustrating. When I get sick it always turns into bronchitis or a respitory infection.

Attitude, Diva, & Annoying People

My friend sent me this email and I thought it was wonderful.

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, Looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?" So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today?" So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly......

Leave the rest to God

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
