omaha mini vaca

So Yesterday or I should say Tuesday since it's already 12:45 am on Thursday, My family and I went to the zoo in Omaha (an hour and a half away). It was so much fun. The weather wasn't exactly cooperating but we made the best of it. It was soooooooo cold and rainy. Pretty obnoxious. But I finally got to see my animals. My mom, sister and I stayed the night so we could go shopping the next day. Boy did I shop. I didn't get that much but my feet felt like I had just walked a million miles and back. We indulged in Cheesecake Factory (one of my favorite places because of their tropical tea and Kahlua coffee cheesecake) and had dinner at the fanciest restaurant I've ever been to called Mohogany Steakhouse . Seriously, I was like "mom they have towels in the bathroom INSTEAD of paper towels, we are so high class". That's just me being silly. Best steak I have ever eaten. Would recommend it to anyone if they are ever in the Omaha area. Just be sure to dress up in something fancy or else you will feel some what out of place. I also must at crème Brule cheesecake was UHMAZING! I'm such a fatty :p
I splurged on some makeup from Sephora, anyone who knows me know I love make up .. especially my lipsticks and eyeliner. They way home was crazy. There was wind, snow, ice and crazy semi drivers. But we made it safe and sound. Now it's time to get back to day to day reality. Love the memories!
Tomorrow I am starting the No Shampoo (poo) alternative. I stumble upon this and I have heard a lot of great things about it. How wonderful your hair becomes after a few weeks of use. or in this case no use. Don't worry I will be cleaning my hair I will just be doing it in a more natural way. I want to start going back to the basics. The less chemicals the better. So I will be using Baking soda, water, and apple cider vinegar.. plus a little natural coconut oil for when its drying to give it a lovely smell. It seems these days we put more chemicals in our bodies than we are aware of. I want to start off little and grow from there. If it's harmful for the inside of your body than its just as harmful for the outside. Your skin absorbs more than you know.

good thing about going to the zoo on a crazy weather day is that no one was there!!

i am not so naive

Sometime I wish people would learn not to underestimate me. When I want to get somewhere or get something accomplished I am very capable of doing so. Of course there are always limitations and set backs but I know how to push through it. I lived in a time where our money was tight and we had very little but we made it through.. Just because I am where I am today and don't look like i have ever had to fight my way out of the bottom doesn't mean anything. Looks can and are deceiving. Of course I don't believe in telling what most would call a "sob" story. I am not one who looks for a pity party.. But please know that I do know what it is like to go without in many aspects. I embrace that time in my life and it has taught me to be thankful of what I have. I will never forget it but I also will never return. Was it by choice and my own doing?? Of course not, who chooses to go without? Being born into it is one thing.. but staying in it is another. We all make decision...

negative challenge update #1

I know it has only been a day since I started this challenge, but let me tell you it is not easy. So far I have bit my tongue and have done a good job at not speaking anything out loud. My problem is in my head. It spins with words. I think that will be my roughest spot.. cleaning out my head. It is harder than you think. It's hard to shut off the thoughts that are trying to come out of your mouth.. But so far I can say I am doing better than I thought I would. I hope this can spread. :) sincerely [ME].
