WEEKLY INSPIRATION - THE TRUE MEANING OF MARIAH

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

PSALMS 32:8

So, ok! I know Easter is over and technically I am late but HEY, it’s better to be late than never, right? Easter is such a special day to me because of course it’s Resurrection Sunday but, did you know my daughter started walking on Easter? I feel she has a special connection to God. Her name Mariah means God is my teacher.

Even though most people will say it means bitter. You have to know the true meaning, research is always key and I love to prove people wrong.

Mariah is now 4 years old but I found it amazing that she learned to walk on Easter so as Jesus was revived; Mariah came to life as well in a way! Do you have a special connection to Easter?

I MADE EASTER BAGS INSTEAD OF BASKETS, I LIKE TO CHANGE IT UP A BIT

I HAD TO GET THESE,HOW CUTE!

THE BENEFITS OF ZUMBA CORE FITNESS

I am beginning to think I am addicted to ZUMBA. I have ZUMBA Core Fitness and I am in love with it. It really makes you work hard but after a while you forget you are working out because it is so fun. This workout I purchased for the WII, is great because it's main focus is the core which is great for me because I am a mom and it helps keep the core toned. Not only that but I also have mild scoliosis and I need that core strength to help maintain a strong back.

I rate ZUMBA Core Fitness an A+. It is effective, fun and has a variety of levels. What do you think about ZUMBA?

SPRING DRESSES FOR EVERY BODY SHAPE

I am so happy spring has finally arrived here on the east coast. It is a great time to debut fun spring dresses and floral prints are in. You can purchase similar items here.

Triangle
Dresses with printed tops work great for your figure. You need a little more going on up top to create a balance with your naturally curvy hips.

Round
Banded waist dresses work great for you because it creates a slimming effect especially when in a dark color. This will help you create more of an hour glass shape.

Inverted Triangle
We can wear almost any type of print. One shoulder dresses work great for us because we can show off our bold shoulders and stand out. No need to hide on of our greatest assets. Ruffle on the bottom also help us create the illusion of having a curvy shape.

Hourglass
Of course hourglass shapes can wear just about any dress and look great. Dresses with natural curve will help enhance your dangerously curvy look.

Rectangle
Empire dresses are great for rectangle body shapes. Theses dresses will help you create a curvy look and create that waistline you are looking for.

WEEKLY INSPIRATION

All through my life I have never fit in anywhere. I always tried to fit in...uhhh that NEVER worked LOL. Even now with work I don't fit in. I am one of the youngest employees at my job. What I have found is that not fitting in is a good thing. People want you to conform to their way of life, NOT GONNA HAPPEN. It's just like being a Christian... there is temptation everywhere.

People think they know me, but they have no idea! I am and always will be a Geek down deep inside.I love reading, watching The Big Bang Theory, and I am always pushing my glasses up, LOL. Seriously, I have been through A LOT, but people think my life is perfect. Everything I have I worked hard for it AND I refuse to let my parents purchase anything for me. I like knowing that I owe no one.

So I challenge you to stand out and be yourself no matter what other people think or say about you (behind your back because they are too scared to say it to your face). Do what makes you happy! It upsets people when you are at the top of your game and they are faking their success. HELLO, they want what you got and will do anything to tear you down.
