I just left church and boy am I filled with renewed joy, hope and gratefulness. Every once in a while we go through times in our life when everything just seems to be going wrong.

Two years ago I made a goal to finish my education by time I was 30 so I could begin to take care of my family in the way I always dreamed.

At the time my goal seemed a little out of reach because there was no room for error. I had many setbacks but at the end of June I finally graduated from cosmetology school, and in July I became a licensed cosmetologist. September 19 I celebrated my 30th birthday having accomplished my goal, and that has brought unspeakable joy, and hope, and purpose, and gratefulness back into my life.

It is never to late to pursue your dreams, change your career, or alter your path. You are the architect of your future. Take your dreams and make them a reality. Find your passion then hunt it down and make it come to life.

You are important! You are special! You have purpose! You matter! If you believe it you can do it! Never stop! Keep pushing! You have what it takes! You are a game changer! I win! You win! We all win! Winners <3

BELIEVE !!!

Health is wealth. Right? I mean I'm no expert but that's what they tell me. As a full figured woman I sometimes get annoyed by the judgmental stares of fit friends and strangers. I truly believe that if there was less judgment out there regarding people's size more people would be motivated to choose a healthier path.

In an effort to lead a healthy lifestyle I eat a moderately healthy diet and I work out like a beast. At the moment my current fitness obsession is Orange Theory Fitness. If you have one in your area and you haven't tried s free class you are missing out. I highly recommend it. You can go from a couch potato to a power walker to a jogger in less than a month. The program is for everyone , at any age, and any fitness level.

Today I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, ignore any judgement you may come across and strive for a healthier you. Not because society is pushing you to lose weight but because you want to live a long and healthy life.

MOVE IT, SHAKE IT, LIVE IT!!!

Acetona Nail Bar Review

9/8/2016

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Acetona Nail Bar. It is located in the heart of Little Havana, and has an amazing vibe. As you walk in you are greeted by beautiful artwork, a friendly staff, and a modern industrial looking nail salon and blow out bar.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
There was no wait at all, and everyone I met was very sweet. Lucky for me I came in time for happy hour so I had a really nice mojito.

THE CONS
Of course no place is perfect so while overall I had a great experience there were a few things that weren't quite right. The woman who did my manicure must have been quite inexperienced because she cut way more that just cuticle I'm pretty sure she was cutting live skin. When she finished the owner ended up giving me a second manicure because clearly the first wasn't up to standard. The second con would be the price. I jumped at a chance to try this place based on the prices on the website. Gel Manicure for $15. It was too good to be true. The new price is $30, but I did get a $10 discount for my inconvenience without even asking so that kinda helped. Hopefully they update the website soon.

THE PROS
Enough of the cons. On to the pros. After attending beauty school you are obsessed with sanitation. I was pleasantly surprised to see that their pedicure bowls did not have those cesspools of fungal infections which most of you would recognize as a spa bath with jets. They had the bowls which are easily removed, easily cleaned, and easily sanitized. Any place that is forward thinking enough to have this type of set up deserves repeat business because they have their clients best interests in mind. Another pro would be the staff in general. It's a family friendly environment. Everyone is kind and makes you feel at home. They have a wide selection of colors with no bootleg brands that you might find at the dollar store.

TO RECOMMEND OR NOT THAT IS THE QUESTION.
Overall I can see that the owner is a professional interested in the growth and development of her employees and takes excellent care of her clients. I am excited to go back for a pedicure and I would recommend Acetona Nail Bar to anyone that is looking for an affordable manicure, pedicure, or blowout.
