Review: Zone Perfect Greek Yogurt Chocolate Bar
Today I had the pleasure of trying the Zone Perfect Greek Yogurt Chocolate Bar. I was a little hesitant in trying this bar. Yes, yougurt is good and chocolate is good, but is it good together. Yes it was. I was pleasantly suprised by the taste. All the flavors blended well and didn't over power each other. Though it was chocolate, it didn't taste like candy. Many bars make the mistake of trying to replace an unhealthy snack by trying to be a healthy version. When doing that it sometimes taste weird. I enjoyed this bar a lot and would consider purchasing it.

App I'm Loving!
This might be the first time I've written a post about an app. I download new apps all the time. I hear about them through other apps, articles, and people. I also enjoy grabbing the free apps and songs that you can find at Starbucks locations.
This app I was introduced to through Instagram. Someone I follow on there posted that this app was free currently and to go get while it last and so I did. The app is caled WaterMinder.
To use this app you enter your weight and it tells you how much water you need to drink in a day. As you drink water it fills the picture of a male or female and when viewing the app before clicking on it you can see what percentage of water you have drunk for the day. It will also give you reminder to drink water. Usually about every hour and a half the alarm goes off. As you drink water you select the amount and that's it! Simple app to use and a great tool for anyone who has trouble remembering to drink water. Today is the first day I have used it and it has helped me to remember. I try to log in some water before the alarm goes off. It is a nice challenge for me.
How do you track your water?

Just Watched - Unconditional
Synopsis: A woman's idyllic life is shattered when her husband is killed in a senseless act of violence. As she prepares to take matters into her own hands, two unexpected encounters begin to change everything. (Source - IMDB)
I love movies. I love movies with meaning and that make you think and feel. This is one of those movies. It is a movie about faith, trusting God, and knowing that he will work thing out. That despite your past you can make a difference. That is what I got from this movie. Since my mohers passing I found it hard to be spiritual. I was angry at God for taking her away from me. I have slowly let that angre go. God gives us free will to make our own decision. Our decisions brings us to wherever we end up. That include my mom. Whether he intended her life to go that way or not she still live how she wanted to live. I have to do the same. That wasn't the intention of this film, but it has brought me a little close to God. To wanting His presence in my life again. To not wanting to feel lost anymore.
I was not asked to watch this movie or to do a review. In fact I knew of this movie for months. For months it was show on Netflix and for months I ignored it. I didn't want to feel. I didn't want something to tell me what I already knew, but wasn't ready to hear.
This movie is worth 5 stars.

Paris, je t'aime!
I walked by this Macy's window on my way home from work. I had to take a picture of these huge metal and fabric chandeliers and these small Eiffel Towers. I'm obsessed with them. I have several Paris inspired items in my apartment. Paris, je t'aime!

Purple Lipstick!
I love the color purple and have recently become obsessed with purple lipstick. I want all the colors of purple in the world.
My Favorite Thing to Wear!
I know I am late. I know everyone is talking about and wearing them, but I'm a picky shopper and hadn't found the right maxi till now. They are so comfy and can be worn dressed up or down. I love them so much that I am determined to learn to sew so I can create my own. Along with embracing color, I will embrace pattern. The two with pink hearts are my favorites and my inspiration for my personal maxi collection. I want a closet full of them!
Embrace Color
I mostly stick to black and grey with an occasional pop of red, purple, and green. I've decided to EMBRACE color a little more and these are my staples. I'm also a little obsessed with one item that I think most women are in love with. See my next post to find out what that is.
See the Conflict and Then Embrace the Change
I just finished a Google Hangout with some ladies about healing out bodies and it made me think more about myself, who I am as a person, and who I want to be. I don't want to appear militant or a rebel, but there is this person inside of my trying to get out. The person who wants to share who she is with the world and be accepted for it. I say that I don't want to be a rebel because what I feel on the inside is not the norm. What I want to do and share is not what the majority of the people around me do.
I think this might be a common struggle amongst African Americans. Do we really know who we are or do we only know what we see around us everyday? No wonder so many of us feel depressed. We are constantly suppressing who we truly are. I want to embrace colors, my natural hair, patterns, and jewelry. Wear a head wrap and not looked at sideways. Sway and jive my hips while sitting at my desk at work (which I do). Since moving hundreds of miles away from my family I have embraced that person inside of me a little more, but there is so much more of her that wants to come out. Sometimes I don't know who she is. What is it that she wants to say and do? A change is coming.
