How do you get your news right now? How does it differ from 10 years ago?
As things seemingly get crazier in the news I have noticed myself less likely to seek out the news. Getting updated on the latest world happenings is important to me, however, too many horrible things continue to happen and I can only consume so much of it at a time. Even though I do not actively go looking for it, news stories do eventually make their way into my life.
If I look back 10 years I believe that I was still occasionally reading newspapers and watching the nightly news. Outside of that friends, family, co-workers and the radio were usually the sources that gave me the most information. When I was working customers would also bring events up in conversations. For example: when Michael Jackson died it was customers that brought it to my attention. I thought it was some type of hoax and it wasn’t until later that evening when I did some research that I found out it was true. I often didn’t hear about major events until days or even weeks later.

I love going shopping online because I can discover things I may not normally see in stores. Usually I just create wishlists and they sit there until the holidays or my birthday comes around. Then I share them with friends and family that ask what I want. I usually can’t think of anything off the top of my head so wishlists come in handy. Here are the items that I recently added to my wish list. (more…)

This has been a rough week. It went by far too quickly yet I am happy that it is Friday. Excited for the weekend and happy to be blessed with another day. Thank you for stopping by to see what is going on over here.
I have been feeling crappy lately. It started with body aches and a itchy throat which led to coughing, congestion and fatigue. I spent a lot of time sleeping and just letting my body rest. I got some NYQUIL which helped a little. Now my throat is super dry so I cough even more than I did before. I have been craving coffee but opted for hot green tea with a little honey instead. I love green tea and always feel better (in general) when I drink it. I used to drink it daily and I think I may get back into doing that. I am just happy that I have more energy now.
The weather has been muggy lately with nightly showers so it sort of matched my mood. The other day I had to get out of the house to take care of some things and the weather wasn’t too bad so I decided to go across the street to the beach and mediate for a bit. I was just what I needed. The nice weather, salty air and relaxing ocean waves was so great. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen a picture I posted of the ocean that I took on that day.
When I wasn’t rolling around in bed trying to get comfy or being annoyed by coughing spells, I did spend some time reading (online). Here are some of my favorites that I read this week. Enjoy and have a great weekend! About to go make another cup of hot green tea with honey and work on some projects while I still have the energy.
+ During a moment inspired by Drea’s Nails I painted my nails which I haven’t done in months. I needed something to brighten up my mood so I used a bright orange color from Kleancolor called Sangria Burst
+ Brown Girl Bloggers got a fabulous website upgrade and I am loving it!

P.S. I have been (slowly) working on more NaBloPoMo Posts. They should be posted by Sunday.

There are a lot of important causes out there so I am just going to chose a foundation to write about. The foundation I chose to focus on today is one that I know has changed the lives of many children which includes my youngest sister. (more…)
