  • Personal Thank U!

    Posted on November 13, 2009 by in General

    I have some wonderful people out there that is apart of Manifest Me, that really takes an extra time out to do something a little extra special for me!

    Mary K treat:

    Like one of my newest FaceBook diva’s that took out the time to send me Mary K! Thank you for the shimmery lip gloss and the eye shadows! I have been wearing the fool out of that makeup! All the way from New York to Texas, thanks Magalie for the make-up! You are a doll!!!

    Stiletto Promise!!

    I have a girlfriend out there somewhere her name is Kim. I was helping her with something and I was caught up and very busy. So, in an email I told her to call me. Out of no where I gave this stranger of a diva my telephone number. “Why?” Who knows! But, being the sweetheart she was, called me immediately! We chatted it up and her first words before she could get anything out was Thank you! Then she told me to go the NineWest Site and pick out some stiletto or shoes that I wanted. To Kim, I am still looking for the perfect pair. I haven’t forgotten. In the meantime I wanted to say “Thank You”!

    Extra special Gift!

     OMG!!!! Now this diva here is a soldier of a Diva!!! I want everyone that believes in the power of prayer to send out a prayer to my friend Erna. She wrote me a while back and said she wasn’t going to rest until she donated something because I have been such a blessing to her. She told me that what goes around comes around. Then she wanted my address so she could send a little something extra special to the ministry.

    A few weeks had went by and I had not heard from her. Then out of the blue this week I received an email from her. She said she had struggled in school because she had surgery on the 6th and turned around and had a heart attack on the 16th. It is just a miracle that she is still alive! The special thing to me was, she didn’t have to do it but she thought about me in the process. She said she couldn’t rest until she put something in the mail.

    Dear Erna,
                    I wanted to write to you because I believe the effectual prayers of the righteous makes a difference.  I know your heart was yearning to be a blessing but I believe it was a seed. It was a big act of faith on your part. No matter what the circumstance you kept your word. Though I forgot about what you had said, the mere fact that you reach out to me, I don’t take it likely.  What you don’t know about me is that I am a true intercessor. I don’t know exactly what you need but I believe in miracles!
                    I pray that God will touch your body and bring healing from the top of your head to the sole of your feet. I pray that your body lines with with the word of God and you walk in total health and victory. I speak healing to your  mind, body and soul!  I thank God that every weapon that has been formed against you is not going to prosper. I pray that you sleep well and rest every time you go to sleep. No more restless nights. I pray that you walk in total victory in every area of your life. I thank God for sending you my way via the internet so that I am able to pray for you. I thank God for healing your body in a way that you will not need another surgery or will not have another natural default as being an earthly vessel. I thank God for placing you into my life and I look forward to your testimony or full restoration and complete victory. I also thank God for a speedy recovery from your present state. I thank God for keeping your mind and working out every kink in your life. I also thank him for perfecting everything that concerns you! You be blessed!!
     
    - Interceeding on your behalf… A mighty prayer warrior
     

    Peace, Love and Stilettos to all!!!

  • Courses Online

    Posted on November 13, 2009 by in General, School Stuff!

    I started school in September of 2007 on the Bachelors of Science in Business Administration degree program. Recently I changed my major to Information Technology. So there went all of my business courses. My last business course was Finance and I coupled it with Foundations in Web Development. Right now, I am taking one six credit hour class because I still needed the financial aid but I also needed a light load.

    What I hate about Kaplan is that the Financial Aid office  has taken three months to process the verification for FAFSA and also to correspond with me. Here it is my 4th academic year and still they don’t reply to emails.

    How have your experience been like with Kaplan University? Do you have issues with the financial Aid or your Academic Advisor returning your emails? Maybe you are one of the one they respond to.

    All I know that if I were going to a school on campus I would not have these issues. I am seriously thinking bout transferring to another college. This is getting ridiculous!!!!

    Share your thoughts about school online.

    Think about your most favorite meal…. Say you went to your most favorite restaurant. Then you found out that the meal that cost you $17.95 is on the 2 for $20 menu. You would be eating it up right? Now take that same feeling and check out what is cooking at the couponchiefcouponchief.com. The great thing about couponchief is that they have deals for everyone. There are thousands of coupons being uploaded that is only available online. These coupons are for your most favorite places such as Toys R Us, Catherine’s, ESPN Shop, The Children’s Place and the list goes on and on.

You don’t have to click and have your printer ready to access these coupons only once, the savings are endless and the coupon codes are displayed so you don’t get lost in the process.

    Don’t forget to check it out! Take my word for it, you trust me right =)

  • Tylers Newest Food Joint…

    Posted on July 8, 2009 by in General

    Service Date: Tuesday, July 8, 2009

    They call themselves “Tyler’s Finest Sea Food” the official name is Breakers “A Seafood Joint”…

    We will be the judge of whether not it being Tyler’s Finest Sea Food. I stopped by the seafood joint on my lunch hour today to see what they had instore.

    I made my way to the bar 10 minutes before noon to place a togo order. The greeter said they didn’t have any togo menus yet so she gave me their lunhch menu. The style of the menu was not all the special very simplistic.

    The Space:

    The space is very limited, hardly any walk room near the bar area. Between the table and the bar chairs; I had to turn sides ways just to get my purse and I through. I am not a big girl…

    The Prices:

    The lunch prices where in a range from about $7-$14 for lunch menu items. The lunch selection was very limited. I ordered a chicken wrap with fries it was $8.61 with tax.

    The Food:

    I ordered a chicken wrap. It suppose to have tomatoes, red onions, lettuce, grilled chicken, avocado and ranch dressing. You have the choice between regular fries, sweet potato fries or kettle potatoes.

    I finally receive my order 25 minutes after 12. That means I was there 35 minutes for a togo order.

    After I got back to work I had no ranch on my chicken wrap. VERY DISAPPOINTING. I had tomatoes on my wrap, when I requested no tomatoes. VERY DISSAPOINTING.

    The food overall would have probably really been good with my ranch but since I didn’t have any…. My lunch didn’t go so well. The waitress, I think was very playful with all the men sitting around the bar neglecting tables and other bar customers therefore it pro-longed my time in having my order taken which had me there 35 minutes for a togo order.

    As far as Tyler’s Finest…. I don’t think so. Just my thoughts. On a scale to 1-10, I give them a 6.

  • I got my MAC on!

    Posted on June 5, 2009 by in General

    Good bye Fashion Fair, HELLO MAC!

    My most new experience besides my wonderful Duby Kiss is the fact that I went to Dillard’s and sat down in the MAC chair. Oh yeah baby, I got my MAC on!

    I use to wear Fashion Fair make up but the color just did not match up perfectly. So, I told myself when I was done with that foundation I was going to try MAC.

    What I use to love about Fashion Fair is that it came with free gifts =) and it was made for women of color. But I found out that the colors that were made available were not perfect it was either to red or peachy. Not only that, it gets on everything I touch. I hate being at work and having visible finger prints over all of my paperwork. That’s embarrassing!

    I was so amazed when I went to the MAC consultant and she matched my skin perfectly! I normally wear cream to powder but this time I just went for the powder foundation. It was the NC50 and she matches it on the first try. She’s good!

    She took a spray bottle with water and mists my face after she applied the powder before she let me see, I didn’t ask why… After I purchase the make up I tried it and it didn’t last. I was very disappointed. It did not turn out like the MAC profession applied it.

    So, I went and bought me a tiny spray bottle and filled it with water and I keep it in my make up bag. The next time I applied the powder foundation, I mist my face lightly with the water. My make-up was FLAWLESS! I have all full coverage all day with applying very little make-up.

    The best thing about it is. It doesn’t rub off. I do the make-up usual by taking a paper towel after applying and pressing it down to my face taking away all of the excess make up. Fashion Fair, a lot and it still rubs off.  MAC, there is barely any make up on the towel to be seen. AWESOME! It doesn’t get off on my clothes or paperwork. This is genius!

    So, my new fav to go along with my Duby Kiss hair is my MAC make-up. The foundation is 26 and it was roughly $28 and some change after taxes but it is WELL WORTH IT!  The powder gives medium to full coverage.

    Girls, go get your MAC on!

  • My Duby Kiss!

    Posted on June 4, 2009 by in General

    Duby Kiss is my new fav! The 100% wrap human hair caught my attention when I picked up the newest copy of Hype Hair and the front inside cover was an ad for the new Duby Kiss 4″ Hair. I was drawn to those two full side ads and didn’t even go past those two pages. I don’t even know what was in the rest of the magazine! =)

    dubykissb-02So, my hunt for hair was on! I love the first picture, the wrap relaxed look.  Then I love the picture directly below that.

     

    I was later disappointed to find out that they did not sale the Outre line of products anywhere near me. The closes retailer I found was in Houston, Texas and luckily for me I could order online!  So, that day I ordered the premium duby kiss 4” hair which was Wednesday and I receive received it that Friday even though it said  that I would receive it within 4-7 business days.  I got it in two, I was so happy.

    I viewed the Duby professional videos on youtube and then I was convinced that I could do it myself. So, I tried.  I love the hair and will order it again and again and again!

    Here are my Duby Kiss hair pics!

    I ordered the Duby Kiss Premium 4″ Hair from Beauty Major and it was only $12.99!

What is a really big trip you could see the entire episode where she has an emotional breakdown because they run out of money and she tries to get a payday loan to cover the cost of her wedding.  I posted the video in my sidebar! Laugh & enjoy! You are in for a treat! Remember this is REAL LIFE, unedited!

  • manifest “me”

    Posted on April 24, 2009 by in General, Manifest Me

    My purpose in life is to help you discover the real you and  your niche(s). When I put my niche(s) to work, I discovered myself. I found out more things about myself that I didn’t know. I was always doing things for other people and fail to invest in me.

    Why, Manifest “me”? (more…)
