AA Out The Way!

June 1, 2018


              

                   Happy June! 
           I am officially a graduate of Miami-Dade College and I am proud to say that I made it halfway through! I reached my goal of maintaining dean’s list academic standing throughout both years, tuition is still being fully paid for and God continues to bless me. The best part is being a first-generation student, my family motivates me so much and they make my journey all the more worthwhile. I say it all the time college truly highlights your potential and If you work hard and seek out opportunities you can experience such a rewarding college career. The people I’ve met, the hands I’ve shaken, tears I’ve shed, and the hustle I had all mounted to something and I'm just getting started... Seeing all the other graduates from university walk across their stage only makes me more excited. I truly am thankful for everyone who roots for me, See you in 2!! 😉


PSA Incase you need to hear this from someone: IT IS NEVER TOO LATE!
Hold yourself accountable and keep your goals in front of you… I believe in you.

Hola!
Been a bit MIA on here per usual... Hear me out though!

I've decided that I really want to focus on making my platforms more on the personal side. I realized I struggle so much with consistency because I'm only trying to keep up & cater to these topics (ex. fashion , beauty, advice etc.) like other blogs do and I end up going blank! I'm going to try hardest to post on here every once in a while and gradually make it a natural habit..

I have so much crap I need to focus on and conquer for myself..  and between time, stress, and overwhelming procrastination I have a lot of work to do. I always want better for myself so I'm pushing through on this challenge & trusting the process. 

Praying for endurance, strength, and prosperity all in all.
By God's willing,
Genuine Jenn

LUSH Challenge?

September 28, 2017


I recently went on a mini shopping spree and decided to visit the LUSH cosmetics store. I had heard from my mother about how good the store products were, and a couple of co workers told me the same thing. I've been struggling for quite a while with skincare and I spoke with their associates for some recommendations. I picked Up these two products and I'll be doing a challenge to see weather they work for me or not.
Left: 'Scrubee' | Right: 'Parsley Porridge"

'Scrubee' Body Butter Description:
This happy little bee looks innocent enough, but it means business when it comes to buffing your skin smooth. We've combined scrubby ground almonds and coconut shell with softening honey, cocoa and shea butter in alternating exfoliating and moisturizing stripes for the smoothest skin.

'Parsley Porridge' Description:
For a squeaky green clean, hop in the shower and lather up with this herbal soap. It’s packed with dirt-busting ingredients like fresh parsley, finely ground oatmeal, thyme, tea tree oil and aloe gel, making it suitable for your whole body. Its creamy lather gently exfoliates to remove dead skin and keep spotty or disturbed skin cleansed and clear.

I face troubles with acne on my chest and back area + some dryness so apparently these products will get the job done, Lets hope so :)
I'll be doing monthly updates on my skin starting october and hopefully I see results.. Chow for now!

Staying Motivated

September 19, 2017


As the end of the year slowly approaches I like to encourage a little self evaluation. Since my birthday passed this July I realized how fast time is moving and I thought about my goals for 2017. It was passed half of the year and half of my goals weren't even completed. I lost a lot of motivation and I knew I had to redeem myself quickly. If you're finding yourself in the same slump that I was in and need a little help with motivation,  here's 3 short tips that helped me get back on the ball.

1. Evaluate: Figure out when the focus went left. A lot of times we're caught up in what's going on around us and we lose focus on our goals & forget about the end zone. Sometimes it just takes for you to take a step back and get a bigger picture of what's working and what's not.  2. Refocus: After you've determined where, when and what went left, shift right. Set goals that are actually attainable. There's a saying, if you have a set amount of time dedicated to any learning endeavor you are much better off  spending that time a little bit every day then you are in one botched process. Instead of just having goals for the entire year I had to set weekly goals that helps me get closer to that ONE goal. Figure out whatever works best for you. 3. Hold yourself accountable: One of my favorite quotes is "You are your biggest obstacle". Its never too late to redeem yourself if there is an opportunity for growth and/or success. Make a way and stick to it!
