Spring Break 2012

I hope everyone is enjoying their Spring break.....Me....not so much.
Well, besides that one day... but other than that, I'm not having the greatest time. All I've done so far is get beauty sleep, breathe synthetic air and work on stuff that I needed to get done.
But for those of you who are also having "Staycations", you don't have to spend it like I am. Here are a few of spring staycation ideas that I've came up with in the past (but haven't really done over spring break just yet)
1. Play with your food.
Let your inner chef come out. Have a few friends over and start cooking. Bake some cookies, try new recipes, or visit a cultural restaurant. You can even start looking at new food and drink ideas for summertime. Or, if your looking for the more lazier side of things...raid the kitchen while you can! Hey, why not? See this as your last week to eat anything you want before you start your summer diet.
2. Explore YOUR City.
Sometimes we never know what our city has inside it. I technically live in 2 cities. Big, thriving Dallas and regular, all-American town Cedar Hill. Both is Texas but so different. I never knew what Dallas had until me and a couple of friends just decided to walk around the city. Same with Cedar Hill. It looks like a regular town with a little shopping center, but it is actually very historical. And sometimes the most historical things are the most fun.
3. Chill Out with Movies
Redbox, Netflix and Satellite TV is the best! Invite some friends over, gather up some junk food, and just start watching movies all day. You can never watch too many movies. Also a good spring break box office hit at the movies this year, if you don't wanna stay at home, is Project X. LOOOOOVE IT!
4. Catch Up on Lost Sleep
Who says that's being lazy? You've worked so hard during the school year and tried to hit up as many parties as you could, now you owe it to yourself to catch up on lost sleep. I know I have. So get your beauty sleep on and I promise you will feel like a refreshed person after the break is over.
5. Do Some Spring Cleaning
Do it while you can! More than likely you will not have enough time to do it when you return to school, so don't delay. Plus, it's really fun putting away your winter stuff and bringing out your spring/summer stuff. I did this just last night and even though it was messy in my tiny little shoebox of a room, it was so exciting to bring out my hot clothes haha. It's a reminder of how close summer is :)
6. Give Your Beauty a Fresh Start
Still look like your stuck in winter? Shake it off! do something new with your hair, get a tan, go shopping. Start looking like your ready for hotness ;)
7. FIND a Party
During Spring Break, there is ALWAYS something going on. So use that trusty iPhone, BlackBerry, or Android, go straight to the contact list and ask around; check your Twitter time lines; and for once, try checking out the Events tab on your Facebook. You really can find something to do if you actually try.
Me and my best friend Armoni have not necessarily enjoyed this years spring break, and I don't think too many other people have either from what our Twitter time lines are telling us. So we have already made our plans for next year.......

Baby Shower Planning: The Basics

As I revealed to you all this past Thursday, I am expecting a baby girl in December. As with any other big life changing moment, there is a lot of planning going into things. I'm planning a baby budget, planning doctors visits and scheduling them around other things I have to do with work and school, planning when things need to be done by, and most of all planning a much needed baby shower. For every parent I think a baby shower is necessary. Especially for a single parent like me. A baby shower gives some time for family members and friends to get together and celebrate the fact that you have a new addition coming soon. Whether its your first child or fifth child, you choose a baby shower that fits your needs. This is my first baby. So there are many reasons behind my shower. As a single teen mom, I need all the help I can get. My family and my baby daddy's family need to get to know each other, and most of all I want to celebrate this new change I am about to e...

Gabriella is 4 months old!

My big girl is 4 months today!!! I feel like crying. As a matter of fact I did. Lol. I can't believe that I'm already "looking back" at her old pictures and videos from when she was a newborn. Now she is just growing by the minute and I thought I was prepared for these moments but it looks like I'm not. I'm already starting to think of her 1st birthday lol. Can't tell the thoughts and ideas of those yet :P This week is an exciting week. Since Gabriella is now 4 months old, she has to get her second round of immunizations. So this Friday we are going to the doctor. And then Saturday we are getting ready to develop her next milestones... starting rice cereal and crawling. :) We're going to take a trip to Babies R Us and buy her a highchair and some baby jumpers and walkers! I'm strangely excited for this new stage in both of our lives. She's become more aware and used to how her new world works. No more swaddling! Sorry I haven't been...

My Last Month of High School! :(

I can't believe that starting Wednesday, it will be my last month of high school. It feels like not too long ago I was in the 4th grade imagining my high school senior year. Now it has finally come to reality. With a few exceptions and changes to that reality lol. I didn't know that I would be going to an arts school, and I definitely never expected to be a high school mom. But all those unexpected things are what makes my life better than expected :) In this final month, there will be so many activities we will be doing so keep checking back later!
