Sorry I’ve been so MIA guys. These last couple of months have been pretty hectic. So hectic in fact it almost became comical lol

For those living life with a whirlwind of events coming your way it may be hard to stay on track. I have a list of ideas and thoughts to help you stay motivated.

1. “If you don’t start none there won’t be none”

Come up with a game plan to get you moving. Create a schedule for yourself so things don’t become overwhelming. This allows you to complete everything on your to do list at a steady pace.

2. “Always something there to remind me”

Are you are working hard and not seeing your work pay off as quickly as you’d like? Look at photos or keepsakes of things you have achieved in your line of work and remenise. For me, it would be photos from past shows i’ve done. I can always look back and remember how great that performance was and keep that energy flowing so the next time I hit the stage my show is even better!

3. Flow

Keep positive energy around you even in the suckiest situations. You have one goal- to be successful and that my friend is what you will accomplish. When you want good you must feel good and you will get goods. Do not focus on whats bringing you down, you will be helping yourself fall faster. There is something positive in all negative aspects of life, you will just have to allow yourself to see them.

BE HAPPY.

And Listen To The Music♥

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy by frapex

 

 

Lot’s of times getting picked up by men can be very repetitive. I’m sure if you had access to a remote control you would MUTE the guy in a heart beat. Watching men pick up women is like watching a nervous jester attempt to impress the King and Queen. Knowing there’s a 50-50 chance to win the girl, guys will try anything. Such as my favorite…. the Pick up line. I love pick up lines they make me smile. I find it hilarious and I’m sure guys discover that quickly since I usually follow-up their sentence with laughter and a witty remark  for my comedic satisfaction. Even though I have no interest what so ever, I love to be entertained.

Here’s a couple of tips for the next time you are approached by an admirer, but want it to end as quickly as possible.

1. Tell him he reminds you soooo much of your father” and you also must act extremely surprised once you “discover” he and your dad just so happen to have the same name.

2. After his opening line, create an argument starting with the lines ” Why haven’t you called me!!!! making sure the volume is uncomfortable for him and all the other patrons. He will think your crazy and swiftly walk away.

3. Knowing that you both have never met. Tell him that your baby definitely has his eyes… that’s just weird, but it gets the job done

P.S. I have never tried any of these personally but it sounds like a good time. If anyone reading this decides to use my random bit of advice let me know. I’d love to hear what happened.

And on that note, I leave you with the sound of music ♥

When it comes to Summer Nails…. BRIGHT polish is what I’m addicted to

And on a side note. These past couple of weeks have been full of everything. The good.. the sad and the amazing. From being sick… working like a mad woman… finding inspiration for new music…performing non stop (until I got sick )… It’s been interesting I can tell you that much. I have more photos and updates so i’ll be keeping you posted!

In the mean time, I leave you with the sound of music. Enjoy!

I came across this photo online… it just screams summertime!!! I’ve been waiting for this all year, haven’t you?

And I leave you with the sound of music, enjoy!

Last Night I had the pleasure of Performing at the famous BBKINGS BLUES CLUB . After 4 1hour sets with non stop singing and dancing… I must say, I’m tired haha!

It was a great show and boy did we put on a good one. The energy was on point the vocals were awesome. We were a force to be reckoned with  : )

And I leave you with the sound of music… Listen to the lyrics, I can’t get enough!

I actually forgot about this photo and I just so happened to come across it today. Even though we are about to enter summer, I just had to post it anyway. This Purple poncho/Shawl thingie was given to me by my grandmother. Since I was a little girl I was always amused by her fashion collection. And now that she doesn’t use some of her items anymore she has me in mind for her giveaways! There’s nothing like a gift from grandma. I paired this look with Military boots (that are insanely comfortable I might add) a black turtle neck with black leggings and a black military hat. A quick fashionable look for a lot of errand running!

I’m pretty sure that after this month exhaustion is my middle name. I am now singing for 3 bands and all of my energy is on high demand these days. After this crazy month,I just might put in my application for “Hardest Working Woman In Show Business” who knows I might get the title. For one day and one day only I was able to escape to KEY WEST and enjoy… The MARGARITAS… THE SHORE…..AND THE SUN! Even though I know I’m back on the grind I can’t help but let these pictures put a smile on my face : )

And I leave you….

Sweet And Sour is proven to be an amazing mixture. I mean you have Sweet and Sour Chicken from the Chinese food store… for the drinkers you have Long Islands it’s a wonderful world. I find that a mixture of sweet and sour should go for relationships too. It’s like finding out the boy or girl who use to make your life miserable in elementary school actually liked you all along. You start to not hate them as much realizing that them ruining your life is kind of a compliment… in a weird way . A SweetAndSourship may be the happy medium many of us are looking for. It’s like  drinking lemonade that’s waayy too sweet or sucking on a lemon in the end both will give you the same facial expression. Settling for just one might be too much if that’s simply not what you’re looking for. If your lover is settled on being a sour douchebag and you’ve got a bad taste in your mouth, you might wanna keep it moving. And if a guy is sooo sweet he’s making you nauseated you might need to let ‘em down easily. Find that middle ground!

And Now I Leave you with Anita Baker who has some of the best vocal control I’ve ever heard!!

hope you enjoy  ♥

I am very excited that somebody created boyfriend jeans. Back in the day (which wasn’t that long ago but you know what I mean) I would have to wear boys jeans if I wanted a loose fit. During that time most jeans were tight. I could have tried a bigger woman’s size but since they were designed to be tight it would look like I’m wearing BIGGER tight jeans…..but now the world has changed for the better. I can walk the streets with pride knowing that my pants won’t fall down cause the waist is just too big. It took me a while to find the right fit. Low and behold H&M actually had a size 24 (which is the size they never have in jeans) and I was able to run out of there smiling like Jesse Owens after winning a 100 meter dash. So it’s safe to say it’s okay to have multiple boyfriends. Oh how times have changed : )

 

Away for a little bit and now I’m back on the grind as if I never left. Back in the city and keeping busy. The few weeks consisted of the following…

Shopping.Eating.Singing.Working.Working.Errand running.Karaoke ‘n and of course Not Sleeping : )

It was everything I could ask for. I decided to film more and take less pictures of my trip. Check out the footage!

Can Someone please explain why it’s so hard to find a decent length dress now a days? I mean even short people are worried for their ass cheeks. Like really?! Did they run out of fabric and not tell anybody? I feel like this is the never-ending April Fools Joke. All I’m asking for is something above the knee not above the thigh SHEESH!… Now don’t get me wrong I love Forever21 they are always there for me when I need them, but the dresses UGH! Sometimes I have to check the tag to make sure I’m not shopping at the Children’s Place.

Dear Seamstresses,

Please.. Please… Please make dresses a longer length.. It’s not going to look less fashionable, I swear! Your items will still sell. There’s a thin line between ” Oh that’s a nice dress” And “What the hell?”……. Help a Sista out!

Sincerely Concerned, ThePalmBeachNewYorker

So, I don’t get how you pay so much money for a cell phone and when it magically stops working your provider doesn’t have your back. Now some providers are better than others.. this we know, but my phone was not cheap and normally when you pay more for something its supposed to be better quality. Now of course people have been trying to get over since cave men times. Finding a cheap way to get something made and make a fortune when you sell it to a customer is nothing new. I’m feeling skeptical… maybe those kiddie cell phones are better quality than the adult phones. Maybe I just need to give up on new technology buy myself a steno pad instead of an iPad. Maybe I need to heat up my food by camp fire instead of miro-waving since I can never get my dinner warm on the first try anyway and maybe instead of a new cell phone I need to get a brand new can and string and be okay with the fact that if my can falls in water I can just rinse it out and not pay $200 for a new one..

These are just ideas that could possibly be in the making…..

AHH SCREW IT, I’m switching to Verizon.

I’m still soooooo excited. Cepeda and I finally got to see In The Heights the musical. Thank goodness. I’ve been trying to see this play since high school, but Due to the BROKE.AS.HELL epidemic that affects most young adults I wasn’t able to attend. It was amazing. We attended the Adrianne Arsht Center in downtown Miami where the play was held. AH-MAY-ZING. I’m telling you guys, it was really cool. The characters you can relate to. The music was tight. It’s a play that should be supported for sure. After the play it was time for food. We didn’t have time to eat before hand so after the play we had to hit up Nexxt one of our favorite restaurants on South Beach . If you’re ever looking for a variety of spicy food, you should check out their menu… good stuff.

On behalf of In The Heights I give you one of my favorite covers.. have a listen

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side… the grass some people refer to is just a dirt square with a leaf that flew from someone else’s yard but you can’t see that cause your on the other side. I find that sometimes we lose track of what we have because we are worried about what others are given. Yes “she” may be driving a BMW but she also has to take care of a beard looking unibrow that continuously grows and bad addittude. You just don’t know and there’s no point in trying to find out. Growing up, there would be times when I would compare myself to others, but there was never a time where I felt I came up short or unlucky. From wearing my sister’s hand me downs to eating left overs for the majority of the week since wasting food was not an option… I got clothes to put on my bones and food in my stomach, that was all I needed. Sometimes we have to live life with blinders on and only focus on what we want. There will always be things popping up in life to distract us but that’s simply the way it goes. There will always be days that are not so great, there will always be that fool who takes your parking spot and there will always be that cart with the wobbly wheel at the grocery store. Once we come to terms with that nothing can stop us…… Now get to work (cracks whip)…. I can be so dramatic hahaha

When your Smiling”- Louis Prima

Louis Prima - When You're Smiling by marianaush

I often hear complaints about men “changing” in relationships. Some folks telling these stories maybe teary eyed.. others thoroughly aggravated but most express at least a speck of confusion. What I gain from these conversations is the fact that the men don’t Change they become real. Once its time to end the overly sweet crap months into the relationship, they reveal who they really are and keeping fingers crossed that they still have a chance with you. Maybe it’s not the guy, maybe its your view of what you want from that guy…. any guy. As women we were given the impression that this dumb list of desires we brew since play-dates and Barbies would actually become a reality.

The funny thing is that we ALL know this is not true right?  many people have revealed the secret that this is unrealistic, so it’s fair to say that most of us have gotten the memo. The problem is we just HEAR the words BUT STILL LIVE as if we are the next star of a Disney princess movie. It’s not fair to the Men out there. If you have a list. Throw it away. Erase it from your mind… keep the lists for the grocery store. Don’t make Love feel like just another number on your list. I’m sure if anyone asked you to state all the things you don’t like about your mate your complaints will be flowing like water from a faucet. THAT’S NOT THE WAY TO DO IT, TRUST ME! Give the guy a chance and Focus on the things you DO like and ACT on what you DO like him doing. Compliment him, treat him for doing those things  and you will see things turn around.  Men like to be appreciated. Show them that you notice these things. This also means stepping out of your comfort zone… Keep it positive and you’ll do fine♥

So, The last couple of weeks have been great. I competed in a singing competition and WON! I have competed in other competitions, but this was the first time I could call my self a winner… and yes it feels good. I’ve been working hard and although my work is far from over it’s nice to be given a thank you in dollar bills : )

Check out the footage ♥

 

I’ve Been extremely busy and I honestly wish there were more hours in a day so I can get more done… and get more sleep of course : ) Me and Cepeda were excited that our schedules matched up and we could finally visit the beach. We were there for just an hour… an hour was all we could squeeze in since I had a singing gig right afterward.
It was defiantly a quick tanning session.

I have more posts coming soon but until then, I leave you with the sound of music..

Michael Jackson - Remember The Time by butterflyheather

Come on, of course I’m going to say it..

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! everything around you is information you will keep stored in your memories museum (thank you Kanye) whether you were forced to learn it or willing to learn it.. it’s there. I never liked to read in my early years because all of the books I’d find my self reading ended up being long and boring, except the classics such as Hop On Pop…Go Dog Go and lets not forget Green Eggs and Ham, but with time comes maturity followed by understanding the importance of enriching your own life… I now try to read often as I can. It’s exciting to know I’m building a vocabulary almost as large as my cheesy smile. Natural intelligence draped with knowledge is far more fashionable than any stitch sewn.

I’m not one to Procrastinate!… ok I’m lying, but I thought maybe if I put it out there, I might end it once and for all…. We all… ok, well most…. some of us procrastinate. The only satisfaction I see those of us gain from putting things on hold is the joy of facing NO consequences for doing so. It feels good. It’s like your parents telling you to do something and you refuse, but this time you don’t get slapped! Gotta love adult hood. Now, while this may seem like the good life I have a list of reasons

WHY PROCRASTINATION SHOULD STOP NOW

1. You will get wrinkles… and when your old ass hell, can barely breath and your asked to show your photo album to the family many thanksgivings from now, would you want to show them pictures of

A. You Enjoying numerous activities because you only live once and you only needed to hear that once

OR

B. Pictures of other people because you’re lost in the same gray mindset and sitting on the same lifeless couch where they left you years ago?

2.  I don’t really have another example, that’s all I got guys

IN THE END…

I seem to procrastinate with little things instead of getting them out the way. After I waste everyone’s time typing this post in order for me to accept this radical idea, it will all come to an end. I promise. Time to put this New Years resolution in Motion : )
