Guns and Hoses Boxing Match

                              My friend and I went to Guns and Hoses, last night, January 30, 2015.

Guns and Hoses is an event, when, St. Louis Policeman and Fireman, box, in a boxing ring for charity called, BackStoppers. The fight was held at, Scott Trade Center in downtown, St. Louis, Mo.

It was really fun to watch them fight, since, they are not professionals. I'll tell you something. All of them had heart and was very fearless.

There were 16 bouts. 3 rounds, for 2 minutes per round. They gave it, their all in that ring. There were women and MMA fighters, too.

We stayed for the 14 bouts, but, we had to leave, because, we didn't want to miss the last train. We didn't get a chance to see, who won.

I bought some new lipsticks!

I bought, 5 new lipsticks called, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, aka OCC. I've been seeing the hype on these lipsticks and decided to purchase them. They are vegan, animal cruelty free and they smell like mint.

My 5 colors are, Pagan (deep dark purple), Manhunter (orange red with metallic), Feathered (white which is great for lightening other lip colors), Vain (deep dark blue) and Hoochie (pinkish purple).

Can't wait to try them:)

Here's the link to see them. http://occmakeup.com/products/lip-tar-metallic

Don't forget to watch some of the reviews on YouTube and check out, blogs, that feature these lip sticks. Actually, they are really lip tars, because, they last all day.

Nothing much

Ain't nothing going on. Just go to bed! lol

YouTube gets on my freaking nerves!!

As a viewer, you guys don't know what be going on behind the scenes. YouTube be tripping and they know it. That's why, we can't call them, unless, you are a high popular YouTuber. You can only contact them, via email. Sometimes, they don't respond, but, you may see a difference in what you was fussing about, later, on your channel. I can't see, how anybody would want to go full time, doing this, unless, they have other income. Ain't no damn way! Yo ass will be sitting up, being, flat belly broke messing with them.

Like, that one YouTuber. He got evicted, last year, depending on YouTube's income. Last year, YT made some drastic changes, with the subs and views, causing, a drop in pay, subs and views on everybody's channel. They tend to cater to the YouTubers with the most. I guess, it's because they bring in big money. Technically speaking, it makes sense. Also, they are always messing up with something. It's always, something. I will never quit my job, to this full time. Maybe, as a retiree. lol

I have to remember, the reasons, why I started YouTube. To track my hair growth, meet new people and have fun. Once, I got caught up with the "NUMBERS",( subs, views, favs and shares,) I found myself being frustrated on a regular basis. Then, when I started monetizing my videos, I really got obsessed. I never got caught up with being in the cliques, though. I'm a soloist and I ride alone.

For the most part, I am focusing on what I set out to do, from the beginning. This year, I am not going be tripping off YouTube and their inaccuracy with their numbers. As long as, my videos are being supported and liked by my viewers, that's all that matters:)

First day work blues!

I didn't feel like going to work, after, a weeks vacation. I was tired, sleepy and wanted to go home. However, once I got home, I relaxed for awhile and then got my juicy butt up and exercised, for about an hour or so.

Other than that, nothing is going on over here.

Got a massage, today

all over my body. Now, I can sleep really hard. lol My massage therapist is leaving, soon and I will be getting a new one. Sigh...I hate that, because, it's just like relationships. Once, you get used to that person, you really don't feel like trying to adjust to a new person. I guess, that's life. Out with the old and in with the new. You have to change, when things change.

All I know, my new therapist better rub me right! Ha!

I got my new video camera, today! Yay!

By me having the 3 year protection plan coverage on my old camera, Canon Rebel Eos t4i, through Best Buy, I got my Canon Rebel Eos t5i for free. Of course, the replacement voided the old warranty. So, I had to purchase a new protection plan for my new camera. Only, $170 for 3 years, plus, I got $7 off.

The Best Buy plan says, if your camera is not repairable, they will junk it and replace it with a new camera, of the same value. Awesome!

Unfortunately, if you have any footage on your old camera, it's lost. Meaning, it goes to the junk with your old camera. Best Buy will not give it back to you. So, make sure you get it off your camera, if you can.

I worked out late

...tonight (10:15 p.m.) and now, I am about to jump in the shower, shampoo my hair and wash body. Sigh....I'm on vacation, so, I'm on a different schedule. lol I think, I reverted back to my old work schedule. I used to get off late, up until, December , 2014.

I have done, absolutely, nothing on my vacation. Just sleep and tear up my house. lol It's like, I'm on vacation from everything. I don't feel like doing, anything. Some people, believe, I should go out of town or drive somewhere. For what? I don't feel like it. I just wanna relax:)

Tomorrow, I'm going to braid my hair and get a pedicure. My feet don't look, too bad, but, they do need some attention. My feet are pretty. lol

That's about it. Just chilling and enjoying, my vacay!

Taking down my

...9 week and 2 day french braids. I have a long night ahead of me. I'm using water and leave in conditioner, to soften them and unravel.

We just went on a Winter Walk, this morning

...me and the pooch, did. It felt so good, to feel the winter wind blow across my face. Of course, I had to dress warm, but, it was wonderful. Shay Shay (my dog) had the biggest, Doggie Denture Smile on her face. She was, so excited. She leaped, so high, when she saw her leash. Once, we got outside, she leaped around even higher, with such joy. lol

We only walked, about, 20 minutes.  Now, I'm eating some late breakfast. I'll be in the gym in about a half hour.

We got our teeth cleaned

yesterday and today. Shay Shay's (my dog) was cleaned, yesterday and mine, today. They had to put shay shay, under, anesthesia to get hers cleaned. She was in a little pain, when, she came home. I made sure her linen was fresh and clean and she had soft food to eat. She was very quiet and she didn't open her mouth, too much. She's back to normal, today.

I had mine, cleaned, this morning. I go, every 6 months on the dot. My teeth got exrayed, too. Everything, went great. No cavities, no nothing. I love going to the dentist, because, I plan on dying with all of my teeth. So far, so good.

9 Week Old French Braids

It's about to take down these braids. They've been in my hair for 9 weeks. I've been wearing a wig, sinnce, November 17, 2014 and today is January 19, 2015. My, time sure did fly. I can't hardly see the parts. When I take down these braids, I'm going to shampoo, deep condition, moisturize and seal my ends and rebraid it. Great protective style retain length.

So, relaxed

and loving this, beautiful, Sunday. I'm about to go to the stores and come back home. I got a long day, tomorrow. Shay Shay is getting her teeth cleaned, surgically.

I found out what was wrong with my video recorder. The usb port was damaged. It took it back to Best Buy, for repair. I posted a video, today, about it. Here's the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8nOw9SLOEU&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z121yvkjoriiht2wm04cd1t4rsudedxjjo40k

That's it for now.

So, I couldn't find my

...keys, today, after work. Well, let me take that back. I couldn't find them while at work, either. I looked high and low.I assume they were in my truck. Got to my truck and the doors opened. I'm like, how did that happen when I don't have my keys on me? I started the truck up, with no keys. My truck has an automatic starter, without, using a key or in other words, keyless entry remote.I assumed they were in the truck. Couldn't find them inside. Tore up my book bag and truck. Still, no keys. Then, my truck said on the dashboard, Keys Not Found Inside. I'm like, watha hell?

By this time, I'm baffled and agitated. Called inside my job. Nobody, saw them. Look outside my truck on the ground. Nope! I just drove home, thinking, if my keys are not in the truck, how am I able to drive? Called the dealer. They say, the keys gotta be with you or the truck won't open the doors nor drive. I got mad at his ass, cause, I know, I can't find those keys. By this time, I made it home. Let Shay Shay out to potty (my dog). Got mad at her ass. Why? I don't know. My friend called, while, looking for my keys. She called herself being, helpful and making suggestions. Got mad at her ass. So, she said, I'll talk to you later and let me know, if you find your keys. 

By this time, I'm on fire. I looked inside my house. Got mad at it. Called the gas station, I went to, this morning. Got mad at their asses. They didn't see them. 

Finally, while I was checking my back seat, for the 1,000th time, my boobie hit the door. I heard my keys jiggle, when, I did. Bam! There they were. Tucked down in my bra. I was, so happy. Then, I got mad at my own ass. I'm like, I remember tucking them away in my shirt, this morning, before going to work, not my bra.

I started thinking. My boobies must be so big and full, that they hid the signal to truck, to let my truck know I had them inside the truck. Remember, the dashboard said that there aren't any keys inside the truck? Then, I got mad at the truck!

Ugh, life! Took me about 50 minutes to find those, boobielicious keys! Just talking about it,makes me mad all over, again.

PS. I did call my friend to let her know, I found them and told her thank you for her kind words, because, she got mad at me for being, snappy and agitated. lol

I counted my calories

...through, myfitnesspal.com and sure enough, I went over my intake on sugar. Gosh! I'm a sugar freak, but, I didn't go over, too much. Only, by 15 grams. Normally, it would be way higher. I ate all of the basic food groups and I started eating, today, at 5:30 a.m. According to myfitnesspal.com, my last meal ends around 3:oo p.m. That's early, but, if you really think about it, I started eating early. Sigh...oh, well. I have 90 calories, left, to play with. lol myfitnesspal.com is very helpful for me, although, this is my first day logging in my meals.

I am going to exercise, tonight. Oh, I forgot to say, I drank lots of water, today. Alot of water for me is, when, I can't drink anymore and I've had enough. I will be drinking, more, tonight. I'm going to do my exercise at medium, high, impact. This is my 3rd time, this week of exercise.

I am working on trying to get more sleep. My sleeping pattern is off, since, I've changed shifts. I'm going to go to bed, earlier and wake up, later. I think, I'm waking up, too soon.  If, I master my sleep and get at least 7 hours of sleep, I will be happy and I will keep my new work schedule. If I don't, I'll have to go back to a later, shift. I hate being tired.

I'm going to take my food journal with me, everywhere, I go. I can log in my meals from my cellphone to MFP, but, sometimes it takes, too long. This way, I'll have a back up and can track my calories, later:)

I'm not as sleepy

...like, I normally would be. I bought some whole grain rice cake bites, with caramel  and ooh, wee! They are energizing! Plus, I had a big beautiful bowel movement, something, that has not happening been, lately. Yay!

It's late and

I supposed to be sleep. I'm not sleepy nor tired, but, I know when I lay down, I'll fall right to sleep. I've been working the morning shift, for over a month and I still can't go to sleep on time. I'm a night owl. What can I say?

Anyway, I did a 40 to 45 minute workout, tonight. I didn't get a sweat, but, as long as, I'm moving, I am okay. 20 minutes on the treadmill, 5 minutes on the elliptical and some lite boxing, on my boxing bag. Eventually, I'll build back up. I'm just trying to get used to moving my body, again. As far as my diet, booo! Still, not good. However, it's my first week and I need to lose a total of 6 lbs, in 4 weeks,  in order to reach my goal. So, I have some time.

Good night:)

3 chunky flat twist

I found these old pictures and decided to make a collage. While my hair was still wet, I parted, 3 large chunky sections and flat twisted my hair to the side. I took the ends of the flat twists, twisted them all together and pinned them up into a roll. I added my, clamp-on flower and large hoop earrings for a little extra flare.

May 2012

Ain't much going on

Just tired, as usual. Working out was fun, last night. I worked out for 45 minutes. I did my boot camp dvd and it felt good. It was cardio, 3 pound weights and some other stuff. I am out of shape, so, I did it, low impact and I never stopped. I slept, really deeply, only to be awaken by the alarm clock.(Ugh! I hate that.) So, of course, I was tired.

I went grocery shopping, today. Let's just say, 90 percent of my groceries are healthy and I don't know how the other stuff got in my cart. lol I love having food in my house, because, it slows me down from buying bad foods, outside of my house.

Other than that, ain't much going on. I'm happy, the days are getting a little longer. I love the sunlight, something.

That's it!

Workout clothes are on!

See how you excited I look? Tonight, is my first workout of the year. Yay!

I got my workout clothes, socks and tennis

sitting out for easy access! No excuses!

Length check is this month

...but, I'm still in love with my french braids, that, I am wearing under my wig. I love it, when, I don't have to comb my hair. I never did like combing my hair, even, as a young girl. I remember in high school, my hair would be wild, woolly and free. Everybody, used to call me a wild child. They also used to say, you don't know what to do with all that hair and how come you don't comb your hair? Even, today, people say the same thing. I wasn't, never, into my hair. I thought of it, always, being a problem, dreadful and in my way, especially, when my mother used to say, I had bad hair.

It's really amazing, that, I have the same mindset of not, combing my hair. Only this time, I'm benefiting from it, by retaining length. When I don't feel like dealing with my hair, I just leave it in braids or twists, for long periods of time. When I straighten it, I always see a new length of hair.

I've always loved my hair, straight. When my mommy would press it out and burn my ears at the top, lol, I remember, feeling, so pretty and free. I didn't have to worry about those, annoying naps, for awhile. I didn't have to hear any negative comments or hear the dread and sighs, when it was time to get my hair done. Ironically, as an adult, I still feel those same feelings and I think, those days as a little girl, are still embedded in me.

Luckily, I know how to do my hair, now.  I don't have to be overcharged for my hair, anymore. Sure, I feel the dread, but, I do my hair when I am ready, most times. (I have way more on my head now, ever, in my whole life)

I know,  I sound negative about my kinks, but, it's the truth. I've also, expressed, my same feelings in my videos. I don't sugar coat it and I say it, flat out. That's why, I narrowed my wash days, down, from 6 hours to 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The frustration has returned, from, when I was a little girl.

I know, if I wasn't on this tailbone hair journey, my hair would be unhealthy and short. It definitely, would be cut by now. When I think about cutting it, I have to remind myself to stick it out. I've already told the, world wide web, what, my goal is and I can't turn back.

I may cut it back up, after, I've reached my goal or maybe, not. I know, for a fact, I will be wearing it straight, a whole lot more:)

Bout to take a nap

...so, I can get up later and meal prep. I am moving pretty slow with my weight loss, but, I plan on having 1.5 lbs off by Saturday.

I'm waiting on my new usb chord to come from eBay. I believe, that will fix my camera import, problem. Remember, a couple of days ago, I mentioned, that, I can't get my computer or something to work? I'm hoping, it will fix my problem. I recorded a video, Saturday, about my NeziSlimDown Challenge. It's going to be posted, late. I have to upload another video, about, my soy milk. It's taking me, forever, to get that video posted. Sigh... Hopefully, I'll have all of my videos, posted, by the weekend.

I'm watching more healthy eating videos. That's good, because, it's letting me know that I am interested, in my weight loss journey.

I'm, so sleepy. I still hate my daytime schedule. People, think I should be happy about getting off work, early. I'm not happy, cause, I can't stay awake.

It's cold, dreary and rainy

outside, today and it made me want to stay inside. I didn't do much. I love Sundays, because, they are so relaxing. In a way, I do want to go for a short ride...I don't know. Maybe, I won't.

Yesterday, my friend kidnapped me and we hung out all day. We went to the stores and had breakfast. I didn't do, too well, with my diet. My meal, alone, was very high in calories for the whole day. So, I ate half of it, then, the other half, later. I love the myfitnesspal.com app, because, I was able to calculate my meal at the table. That's how, I knew, my meal had too many calories. Around 1700, to be exact.

Other than that, It's a very chilled evening and I'm relaxed.

My video camera ain't working

and, I am super annoyed. Somehow, it will not connect with my computer. I was trying to upload my video, for my weight loss challenge and here this ish happens. It's always something! grrrr... Don't know how this is going to take to figure out;(

I love my new hair regimen:)

MY EASY AND QUICK HAIR CARE REGIMEN | MAINTENANC…: http://youtu.be/ZH9al414z4g

My mouth is tired

and I'm on my way back to sleep. I got a big day, tomorrow.

I'm getting ready to moisturize and seal my ends. I know, I should probably wait and do it in the morning, but, I know, I ain't gone think about doing it. I tell you, something, though. This cold air is sucking the moisture out of my hair, like crazy. Plus, it's making my scalp dry and itchy aaaaaaand my skin.

My dog, Shay Shay? She is so bored. She goes outside for short periods of time and run back to the house, at top speeds. It's so cold, here, in St. Louis. I need to take her for a ride or something. She stares at me, while, I'm sleeping. I open my eyes and there she is, waiting, on my eyes to open. I wonder, how long has she been staring at me? lol

I suppose to be doing a length check, this month. I don't feel like taking my french braids down. They are, so convenient. They've been in, since, the week of Thanksgiving. That's why, I don't do protective style challenges. It's no challenge for me to leave my hair alone. Just pure laziness, plus, at this time, this cold hair will break my hair strands in half. Wearing my wigs are such a good way to protect my hair, from, all this madness. Every spring, I have a whole new length hair. 3 to 4 and a half inches of hair. Simply, because, I don't have, "HAND IN HAIR SYNDROME." I have, "I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT SYNDROME." lol

Good night:)

Well, this the last day

Of eating bad foods. Tomorrow, is the first day of my weight loss challenge. I'm sort of sappy. That means, sad and happy at the same time. I made that up. It means, I'm sad because I won't eating bad foods and happy, I won't be eating bad foods. Lol

I got my food and journal, prepared, yesterday. I'm going to finish up my page on, MYFITNESSPAL.COM, buy my starter meals and clean the refrigerator and cabinets, today and I'll be ready, bright and early, in the morning.

NeziSlimDown Challenge 2015!

Oh, Lawd!

I done forgot to put on my wig for work! I'm rocking my scull cap, today, looking like Angelo without his beard:( Good thing, I have on some makeup, but, without earrings. I keep telling myself, to get my pretty girl kit. That's a small bag with a little bit of makeup and earrings for days like this. Shoot! I may throw a wig in it, too. Of course, the bag has to be bigger. My passengers are telling me, that I look different, today. I told them, I left my hair at home. They just laugh. Lol

6 MONTHS NeziSlimDown CHALLENGE

instead of the dietdebt.com challenge. I changed my mind. Wanna know why? Well, for starters, I had already planned on doing my own challenge, when, I came across the dietdebt.com challenge. I found out about that challenge, at a short notice. I wouldn't have enough time to submit my weigh in. They wanted the weigh-in, to be in the morning, preferably. Which means, I would have to get up earlier than 3 a.m., just to do it. Mind you, I have to be at work at 5 am. I already hate getting up in the am, then, to get up even earlier? I'm not doing a weigh in 2 a.m. Sorry.

My NeziSlimDown Challenge, starts, this Saturday. This way, I can get on my scale at a reasonable time of day and I can keep it up, each weekend. I'm dedicating my Saturdays, to NeziSlimDown. Before, I get my day started, I must do my weigh in, workout and upload of my video, every Saturday, from, January 10th to July 4th. My goal weight is 199 lbs., which is a total of 36 lbs or so. Meal planning and grocery list will be done, Wednesday or Thursday and grocery shopping is on Thursday or Friday. Foods will be prepped on Saturdays and Sundays, so that, I can start my week off right. My dieting week starts on Sunday.

Right now, I'm going to work out on Saturdays and Sundays, because, I am so tired when I get off work and I don't feel like bouncing around. I will eventually add more days or wait, until, I get a new schedule. Total workout time on Saturdays and Sundays will be 1 hour and 15 minutes, each day. That's like, 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

I probably won't have a life for awhile. Oh, well!

My wig is tired!

It's cock duece to the side and my bangs are towards the back of my hair lining. I'm ready to go home. I gotta finish setting up for the weight loss challenge. I hate working out after work. I be tired. I'm going to work out on the weekends. Saturday and Sunday, 1 1/2 hours, each day.

I making a commitment

To post a video on my NeziSlimDown channel every Saturday, for 6 months, from January 10 to July 4, 2015. Including a weight in. I have to, because, I need to be accountable.

It's 7 degrees

In St. Louis, this morning. It seemed like the earth was frozen when I looked outside.

I joined

Dietbet.com, yesterday. This is hosted by Carmen, from MyNaturalSistas. I paid my $25 and now, I gotta send in my weight by the 8th. The challenge starts, January 8-February 6. There is a pot of money to split up, if we all lose 4% of our weight.

My Excitement

My Natural Sistas, Carmen, is having a weight loss competition. I'm going to sign up for it, today. I gotta read some more information on it, when I get home. I think, this is the boost I need, although, I was setting myself up to have my own weight loss challenge. Also, since, I'm always online, this will be perfect for me. I'm not worried about winning the pot.  I'm using this as a tool to get a good jumpstart. I gotta post my soy milk video, then, I'll post my excitement about my good news, in my next video.

Tired This Morning

My Mondays are always not good. That's why I love, Sunday and Mondays, off. I don't like going to work on Mondays. It was so cold and I had to layer up, so that won't feel that chill. However, my day is going, well. I'm excited, too. I'll tell you on my next post.

My Sunday

So, I woke up for a few hours, went back to sleep and woke up, again. My new work schedule wears me out. I switched, from night time hours, to daytime hours. Been doing this for a month and I'm just now, doing a little bit better.

I took a long, warm bath. I shaved all unwanted hair, exfoliated my body and put on my favorite body custard, I bought from Jones and Roses, at the Taliyah Waajid show in Atlanta. Through on some clothes and jetted out the door to meet my stepsister at the movies.

The movie we saw was, Woman In Black 2. I didn't care, too much, for it. It was long, drawn out and slow paced. It wasn't scary, either. The theatre was cold and a man, sitting next to us, was snoring, really loud. So, annoying.

Bout to get some food and go home. Gotta, get ready for the work week. Might upload a video on one of my channels or both. That's It. See ya, tomorrow.
