My few reasons for becoming a vegetarian!

Hello all!
Hope everyone had an awesome January, to some that didn't I'm sure this month will be good for you to make up for January :-)

...did I shared with y'all that I became a vegetarian? If I didn't well I've decided to change my lifestyle a bit.
So today marks me one month of being a vegetarian. I am so proud of myself. Even though it wasn't hard at all, to some that knows me and where I'm from that it should've been but not at all. It was easier than laying off coffee (which would be for a couple of months).
I was never a meat eater like some people who always gotta have meat in their meal. Like I would eat it but I would actually asked for less meat. I used to find it disgusting to order let's say a turkey sub and they piled it with so much meat.
I was a vegetarian for almost a year back in ummm '07 when I was with a vegan. Wheee! That time was somewhat crazy because how I gave it up so easily for the first time ever and kept it for so long.
In some ways who you're with will have somewhat an influence on you/in your life.

****DISCLAIMER****
This post might offend some folks.
They are my reasons, opinions and beliefs-respect them!

My few reasons for becoming a vegetarian-getting to the point now.

*Healthy lifestyle. Not saying the ones that eats meat aren't living a healthy lifestyle but in my opinion not having that substance in your system will be more beneficial than consuming it.You don't need meat to survive-I don't care what anyone says even your doctor!
if you really want a taste of meat and proteins, vitamins and all that in your body there are other great options that you can substitute for/with.

*Weighy- I'm always afraid of gaining weight. Not saying laying off meat is a diet, nope as a matter of fact I don't believe in "dieting" because "diet" never works for anyone, they always ended up eating more shit before their "diet". Yeah get that out of your head!
Buy once I got rid of meat even after a week I see the difference in my body-my weight (I was never overweight but I got slimmer)-my system (bowel movement got better). Even my skin which I find it to be very important because I break out easily (big problem for me).

I feel better. It's just a feeling if lighter and knowing that when I eat I don't have to worry about feeling too full and uncomfortable. The meal meat-free is awesome.
I'm so lucky at the fact that I'm not allergic to seafoods and I love it anyway :-)
I feel great and I know ice made the right decision.
Hello new me.

... in the meantime SSshhh!

So I think I have a clue on what's in store for me this winter/spring :-)

I would love to share it all with y'all but I always jinx myself.

I promise to share with y'all when it happened.. In the meantime I'll shush lol

HAPPY NEW YEAR-2012

Before I head out tonight- last night of 2011. I'd like to wish everyone and their loved ones a Happy New YEAR. May you all get to see a better year and be bless. This last night I won't make any resolutions (althought I pray and wish for certain things) but I'll keep all to myself. I would like to thank GOD for blessing me with my family, good friends even associates in my life. My good health, my job in this shitty economy. And last but not least I am grateful for the things I've already accomplished :-) and I am so ready to take whatever risks there is to accomplish more. .....I would also like to thank the people that stopped by in past couple of 3 years on my blogs-thank you for even trying to be nosy. Your luv is truly appreciated. God bless you all and let's make 2012 a better year all.

Christmas shopping?

So I think I'm the only one on this planet that haven't done her Christmas shopping yet. Not that I have a list with 10 people on it.

I already got my parents and siblings which are more important-got them out the way.

Now I have two of my favorite co-workers, my friend from Cali and maybe my "boss" that's if I have any larjan left after I got the co-workers and my friend from Cali lol. She better be praying haaa haa!

I will be doing my own Christmas shopping after the holidays, as a matter of fact since I'm taking the 9th off to take my dad to the airport I think I'll just take the advantage of doing my shopping then. I can wait.

My home-made hair and body butter

Hey world,

How is everyone doing?

Hope you all are having a fantastic Saturday.

Ok this is somewhat of a review of the products I have for my natural hair. I should've done that a long time ago but since I'm not lazy anymore so here I am-why not?

By the way I use other things to conditioned and moisturerized my hair but this is mainly a review on my home-made hair and body butter I decided to make after I read and viewed some very educational videos on YouTube on to maintain soft naturals.

The first picture is a picture of organic coconut oil. Now the second picture is the pure African Shea butter. You can use both for either your hair or skin. I use both for my hair and body-it keeps the hair soft and moisturized even though I have other source of moisturizers for my hair.

I actually had this "review" as my status yesterday and a lot of my friends wanted to know how i made it, so I wrote somewhat a novel lol.

.....so here I am posting it for the world to read on about my hair and body butter that I made in my own kitchen :-) yep all natural.

"The stuff that I got to make it was pure organic coconut oil, African Shea butter (yes the real one because there is a big difference in the smell although they look the same), jojoba oil, extra virgin olive oil (a teaspoon but again it all depends on how much you're planning on making). I also add two drops of my pure Moroccan oil because I love it and it does wonders for my hair. Just heat up the coconut oil for about 10 seconds not too hot but just enough for it to softens up a little then you mixed the coconut oil and Shea butter and use an egg beater. After That's when you put the oils in after and beat it up again then put it in your container and freeze it up for about two hrs. *it's going to have an odor to some that might be an unpleasant smell but I don't mind it, it's not bad it's just doesn't smell great. But if the smell bothers you that much jut add maybe two drops of one of the essential oils (peppermint, Rosemary) or whatever you want".
