Fake It Till You Make It

    
      Have you ever heard of faking it till you make it? For example, a job, internship or a business venture. I hear it a lot more as I got older. When you're trying to pursue a dream or purpose, there will be trials and tribulations in your path. It could be a lack of resources or someone making it hard for you to win. Sometimes you just have to put a smile on your face and be focused. You are only there for the one reason and that one reason only is to reach your goal. It's a temporary placement unless you make it permanent.

        I was listening to a speech  from TD Jakes about Purpose and he said, "Sometimes keeping it real will keep you broke and keeping it real will keep you out of a job." I agree with this statement so much because some of us are so quick to tell someone off or telling them like it is, however, do not realize there could be a consequence. Don't get me wrong it is always a great thing to stand up for yourself. Think to yourself, if you're always burning bridges with people then how do you expect to have resources, or support from anyone?

I've decided to change a bit in my content and add something new. Therefore, from now on my blog will be about my journey to nursing, lifestyle, and self-care. I'll be posting about tips, experiences, and budget friendly items. Stay tune!

Clean Perfume

First I want to say I was not paid to do a review on this product.
I love this smell! I received this perfume as a sample from Birchbox February box. The name of this perfume is Clean and it is what it says it is. It smells clean, sweet, and pretty. I don't like smells that are overpowering however, this smell is just right. I plan on buying the bottle version of this sample and I can't wait. I like perfumes that make me feel good and it's eco-friendly.

Quote of the week

Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positives. -Matt Cameron

When life gets hard you begin to forget about the positives and think about the negatives. Situations will get hard sometimes. However, it's best if you remind yourself that it can not rain forever.

Quote of the week.

A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it just blooms -Anonymous

*A lot of times people compare themselves to others  and forget that you are your own individual. It's  hard sometimes because your trying to figure out why arent you in the same level of success as them. You start to feel hopeless and doubtful. I have been there before and always try to remind myself that I need to cease the comparing and start blooming. I need to stop worrying about others achievement and be happy on how far I have come. All it takes is hope, focus and drive.

Feeling Stressed Out

Have you ever felt so consumed in school work, life issues, bills or unhealthy relationships? Well I know I have and it can be very hard to deal with sometimes. I am a college student currently in a nursing program and let me tell you this is probably the hardest thing I have ever done. I didn't underestimate the program because I've heard from nursing students that the program was challenging. On January 8, 2017 I had to quit my job at Disney and it wasn't easy. I met so many awesome people and guests, loved working in a fun environment and learning new things. However, it wasn't what I wanted to do in the long term. Anyways, I left my job because I wouldn't be able to keep up with my school and work schedule, so I had to make a choice and I decided to quit my job. This is where the stress comes in; nursing school is expensive and I have bills that need to be paid every month! Well, what do I do?

• First thing I try to do is to stay positive and remind myself that this will pay off at the end.
• Ask your parents for help (thank God for my mother).
• A friend suggested to use aromatherapy for stress relief.
• Drinking tea ( I drink Tazo Calm Chamomile).
• Pray or meditate. 
• Doing a hobby that keeps your mind off the stress (blogging is my getaway). 

I hope these tips help you ease your mind and stress!

Happy New Year!

I hope you guys had a wonderful New Years day. A new year is a good way to start fresh and think about what the new year could have in store for you. My suggestion to everyone is to make a new year's resolution because I believe resolutions are ways for people to set out great goals for themselves. So start out by saying or writing:
