Hopes & Promises

(credit)

I really enjoy early mornings. The quiet time I have to myself before getting ready for the day. The peaceful moments before the everyday hustle begins.

This is a special time where I make my personal hopes and promises. I always hope to have a good day. I always promise myself to do my best.

For when I have more time to mentally prepare for my day, I hope and promise for a few more things:

I hope for a peaceful commute to work. 

I promise to be more patient. 

I hope to make the most of my time. 

I promise to live today to the fullest.

I hope to cross off another item off my to-do list. 

I promise to not compare myself to others. 

I hope for my love ones safety. 

I promise to mind my thoughts and most importantly my words. 

Life gets crazy and we all get busy. But, it's important to reflect and focus on what really matters. I hope you have a special time to yourself to discover your personal hopes and promises.

Until next time,

Here's to always being your B.E.S.T!

Sassy Sunday

This is my seventh month blogging and I would like to introduce a new addition to my site: Sassy Sundays. While relaxing after church or juggling the endless to-do list, you can look forward to a new post! I will highlight how to truly be your BEST.

Be Fashionable
Embrace Individuality
Stay Classy

Treat Yourself

Here are my four picks for this week:

Be Fashionable

Caboodles.com just keeps reinventing their amazing product. The company now has Ready-To-Go Specialty Cases. The cases are made in two sizes medium and small. Of course I bought one of each! The colors vary from leopard print to solids. Besides the fun colors, it is also functional. In a rush to put your war paint, I mean make-up? Toss your eyeliner, lip gloss, foundation, etc. in this case. If fits perfect in a purse, gym bag or luggage.

 Embrace Individuality 

This section I feel is the most important. Why try to be anyone else? Admiring people for their talents, accomplishments is noteworthy, but sometimes it's better to just focus on your strengths and abilities. This week challenge to commit to the promises you keep. Especially the ones to yourself.

I promise myself_______ say it out loud or write it down. This promise is hopefully a step toward a better way of life. You never know what you are capable of, until you try.

Stay Classy

Handwritten thank you cards are a great way to show your appreciation to someone. It's traditional, but sometimes pleasantly unexpected. If you are feeling really creative, decorate your own!

Treat Yourself

The best combination next to coffee and creamer is chocolate and love. Chocolove makes wonderfully delicious dark chocolate. I dislike dark chocolate, but not anymore! Buy some. There's a love poem inside every wrapper.

Now, I better take my own advice. Something sweet for you:

Dear Readers,
I appreciate your support, comments, tweets, and e-mails.
Here's to staying true to yourself and striving to always and forever being your BEST!
