The Inspiration Challenge: Level Two🚫 📲


Hello, my amazingly supportive friends and family! I hope everyone's week is going well and I hope last week's challenge inspired you to stay positive last week. This week was pretty good for me. Although, I am having a slight ear ache so pray that goes away because it's just plain annoying. I try not to take over the counter medicines that much anymore, however, Advil helps with the inflammation and that has been helping my pain. I also have been using olive oil and warm towels and that seems to be soothing the pain so it should be gone soon...fingers crossed. Other than that I am doing great and staying blessed and busy. How was your week? (let me know in the comments or hit up my email below)


I was watching TV one day this week...well listening because I was in the kitchen...and this commercial came on. It was an ad from Common Sense Media talking about the benefits of "device-free dinners". I took this idea and I am running with it, not only do I want your homework and challenge for the week to include three device-free dinners, but also three device free conversations.



Technology is a blessing and a curse, as we all know. If you ever need to know any information it is right at your fingertips. However, this has started to desocialize the upcoming generation. This has also made us as a people extremely impatient. Think about that, think about the children who don't even know how to talk to people face to face in real life. Think about how we as a society get so impatient after waiting for like three seconds for something. The idea of device-free dinners is amazing for families or even couples. Just putting the phones, tablets, computers, TV, etc away for 20-30 minutes and talking about anything 3 times a week can really improve and help relationships.

Here I go being transparent: my honey and I are coming up on 9 months together. (This may seem like a long time to some and a short time to others nevertheless that's where we are. ) Now we have known each other and have been talking/dating for about a year. We pride ourselves on prioritizing our time and making sure we can hang out often. After so much time with someone, they become part of your everyday routine. We have been doing device-free dinners as well as device-free conversations. We have a conversation every day with no devices, During this conversation, we like to talk about the highlights of our days and something we appreciated during that day. This always ends our day on a good note and keeps our relationship fun and passionate. I thought he would think this was cheesy, and it may be to some people however this is our favorite part of our day and we look forward to it because of the possibility.





Adding something positive into your daily routine with no devices can be beneficial for you, your spouse and your children. Now I do not have any children of my own but in my classes and in life, in general, I frequently work with all ages of children. These exercises can be something that continues their social ability. This is important for everyday life and networking as they get older. The skill of talking to people face to face is something that will never leave our society completely.

I hope you all have fun with this weeks challenge, I have been having fun and looking forward to it every day. Again, try three device-free dinners, and three device-free conversations separate from dinner. If you have kids YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!

I hope you all enjoyed this week’s blog post. Thank you for taking the time out to read it. Don't forget, we can always chat in the comments. Let me know if you have any questions and please leave suggestions for other blog ideas for the upcoming weeks.Talk to you soon. Stay beautiful stay positive. 💕

DIY: DIVA RING LIGHT INSTRUCTIONS

Image
INTRODUCTION: Hello beautiful people, before we begin with the DIY,  I just wanted to quickly explain what it is I am making because not everyone knows just from reading the tittle. I have made my own version of a "Diva Ring Light". This is a circular light used for photos or videos. As you all know I am working to improve my blog page and my YouTube page. Lighting is one of the main ways I can do that. By researching I have seen that a circular ring is good for lighting from all angles shoulders and up. When doing this project keep in mind that the color of your LED lights that you choose should be called "daylight" or "cool white". This color of LED lights will show the most true to color on pictures or videos. I did this DIY because the total coast was about $30 opposed to the $300 that the "Diva Ring Light" coast. I am a college student and ballin' on a budget! I will have materials, prices,  detailed steps and finished product with pict...

Take a Small Break From Social Media 😱🚫

Image
Hello, my beautiful friends! Today's topic will be on something I just experienced for myself. Why would it be beneficial to take a small break from social media? I just recently went on a vacation and during this vacation, I really wanted to focus on myself, bible study and most of all relaxation and enjoying my family. It was an international trip so I chose to keep my wifi off and not go on social media for four days. This was something I thought I could share because this is a break you can take while on vacation or not. This is something I will incorporate once a month just to reduce stress and have more time to do other things that are important to me. One reason I think that this break could be beneficial is because you would have so much more time to focus on a hobby or researching something that is important to you. For me, this was doing some digging in the bible and getting closer to God. This could also be more time for me to plan blogs or videos whic...

Skin Care Routine with Tips for Sunburned Face!! 🏊

Hello, my beautiful friends! I don't know about you but I have been taking full advantage of Mr. Sun this summer. I have been outside a lot and unconsciously exposing my face and body to the sun. Don't get me wrong I LOVE a good tan, but I do not want to damage my skin, especially the skin on my face. During the whole year, I have a skin care routine that I stick to and have been sticking to that keeps my face as clear as possible. This blog will be about what I do to take care of my face as well as a few things I add for the summertime sun. **Something to remember while reading this blog is my skin tone. I have extremely oily skin in my t-zone (your t-zone is your forehead, down your nose and your chin area). I would consider my cheeks to be normal to dry. Anywhere that I experience sunburn on my face is always extremely dry so I have to avoid over moisturizing my t-zone but put enough on the areas that are sunburned. I burn on the corners of my forehead, a lit...
