HAPPY 2015!!! I can't believe that the new year is here but happy that it is because 2014 was ROUGH for me. Although rough, I gotta give it to the man upstairs because he put those trails and tribulations in my life for a reason and I am so grateful for those experiences because they have made me a stronger person today and I can go through ANYTHING!
For the new year I went and got hitched on the 2nd! Had a small justice of the peace wedding with my now husband and my family members. We were able to just enjoy the bonding and vows between each other and went out to eat to celebrate. I am also 10 weeks pregnant with TWINS! I am very nervous yet excited as these are my first babies on the way. I guess I may be one and done after this. God willing (and husband accepting) we may try for one more lol.
I was inspired today to get in gear for the new year. There are so many things that I want to do and I know that I won't get them sitting and researching the information or being envious of those who already have it. I gotta go get it!!! Go getter, go getter, go getter!!!! So I am inspired to at at least blog 3-4 times a week as well as follow up with my YouTube channel at least 1-2 times per week. My overall goal is to become a stay at home mom with income when my children are here. I would like more than part time work but not necessarily full time work because I'm going to have my hands full with twins! Overall, I know my thoughts, my goals, and my ambitions. It's just time that I be about it and stop talking/thinking about it!
I hope you all are starting out with a great new year as well. And as I say...Peace and Happiness! Here's a note on what a go getter is. Is that you? Do you want it to be you? Then like Nike "Just Do It!"

I have been slacking in the department of keeping up with my online boutique! Shame on you, Erika! However! All of that is changing! I am currently working on some new projects and beginning a new technique for the earrings to get much more wear and tear out of them! If you haven't been to the site yet, please check it out here! I have great stuff for family, friends, coworkers, you name it! Here is a preview of what you would see on the site... All of the earrings are uniquely named so that they are easier to identify.
"Egyptian Goddess" "Ready to Hoop?"
"Victorian Charm" "The Chandelier"
Make sure that you stop by TODAY and order a pair. Also, check out my Facebook page, as I will be having a giveaway for the New Year! Comment below and/or on my Facebook page if you think I should do a monthly giveaway! Details of the giveaway and rules will be on my page by 5:00pm EST TODAY!
Peace & Happiness!

I decided that I want to take more control of what is going on in my life and do more! I have some many interests that I haven't had the chance to enjoy and I decided that I want to take control and start now. "It's my life and I'm taking control now!" I have a lot that I feel I can offer others and I will be starting with training myself and jumping onboard. I may also be a future YouTuber so look out! What are your resolutions? How do you find time to do the things you love versus those things you are "obligated" to do?
So the whole reason for me starting a blog is that my mind runs like an open app (you might see me say this a MILLION times but that's the whole purpose of saying my mind is like an open app) Any who, I have been on Entrepreneur.com for the last two days and looking at low budget ideas I could do to start up my own business from home. Although I am working on a doctoral degree, my goals in life is to be a housewife, but a working one from home. I love the fact that I can stay at home with my children, run around and do errands, shop, be domestic, and not have to worry about the stresses of a 9:00-5:00. Well, in my case now a 7:30-5:15, Monday through Friday. And the crazy thing about that thought is....I don't even have kids yet! But the early bird gets the worm right?! So I'm thinking ahead. One of my new found interest that I have come across is sewing and reupholstering furniture. The good thing about that is I will have time to shop in thrift stores and consignment shops for the best item. The bad thing is I have little sewing skills! I took a beginners sewing class back in June and it turned out to be easier than I expected. However, I have yet to buy a sewing machine; hopefully that's in the works around Christmas time. *fingers crossed* With that being said, I think I will take my entrepreneur skills and plans into the New Year and have that be one of my New Year's Resolutions: to begin sewing and starting a small business making small moves. I read a really good article on Entrepreneur.com that talked about ditching your billion-dollar business ambitions....click here for the story. I will also be helping my soon-to-be hubby make some moves on a landscaping/lawn business. I can say that 2013 has been a good year for me thus far, but I see 2014 opening more doors than I could have ever expected! Thank you Lord! :)
