Black Friday Vs.Cyber Monday Deals

It's that time of the year again!!! The holidays is here and we all try to get those good deals that all the stores or online sites are having. We all struggle whether or not to actually go in store to shop, or just wait for Monday to shop online. based on my experience here is my pros and cons below:

Black Friday:
Pros-

• Shopping with a friends/Group
• Prices could be better
• Physically handling what you are buying
• Might miss a good deal only offered if you go

Cons-

• Parking
• Huge Crowds
• Long Lines
• Price markdowns after Black Friday
• Missed time with family (unless they go with)

Cyber Monday:

Pros-

• Accessible by computer/mobile
• Shop in your PJ's
• For stay at home mom's don't need a babysitter
• Deals are usually better (Competing with stores for higher close out numbers)
• Easily compare prices online 

Cons-

• Possible delayed shipping
• Possible damage
• Possible online fraud
• Won't be able to see merchandise til it arrives
• May have return issues

There you have it. Overall I do a little bit of both but mainly online shopping is my preferred choice. Happy shopping!!!

Winter & Rain (Bay Area Life)

Living in the Bay Area you know you should always always keep a spare coat, hoodie, or jacket handy. It seems that winter is here, and although the weather goes through it's bi-polar phases, it's the BAY AREA the weather is always changing.

This years FALL fashion has drastically changed. I have seen women and men despite being freezing outside everyone will still wear shorts and flip flops, weird? NO this is a norm in Cali.

I for one, especially those who know me, know that I have to be bundled up but I refuse to wear a jacket. If I'm going somewhere fancy as shown in this picture to your left I have to keep it classy. I didn't get a chance to do a FULL body shot but I have a black long sleeve maxi dress with a fur short sleeve vest with black Christian ankle booties. Although it was cold, I still made sure what I wore over it wasn't "jacket" like. Anyone have any tips, ideas, for the cold night CITY visits. Comment below.

Pound for Pound Andre Ward

Last night Andre Ward beat Sergey Kovalev. Although it was by unanimous decision people all over are arguing that Sergey was robbed. It was a pretty close fight but seeing the fight for myself, and yet although Ward was knocked down to his knees in the second round, it's not about getting knocked down, it's about getting up and getting back on your feet.

Wards movement improved and got better by the fifth round. As a boxer or in any sport you know it takes time to get a feel for how someone plays or fights, you won't know until you actually set foot one on one with your opponent.

I for one think Ward did a great job, he got in there, held his own and won with the decision at 114-113. Either way everyone will have their opinion on how the fight went and that's OK, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Congrats Andre!

What Moves you?

Everyday we wake up is a blessing. Do you actually know what yoTrue enough you will have obstacles that approach on a day to day basis, but it's how you handle it when these road blocks arise. Face your fears, welcome those obstacles with open arms, but DO NOT quit. We have to live in the present. Not the past, not the future but the Present, today, at this very moment!

Inspire others to be great, inspire others to do better, to think better, to feel better. Someone told me last year, "What ever you put into the universe, will come back to you 10 X's." It's up to you to decide if what you're giving off is GOOD energy, or is it BAD energy?

The world is already full of so much negative, and hate. We need to inspire, and motivate each others as we would our kids, our families, our loved ones. That is what will make us all LEADERS!

E.L.H.A.E (Every Life Has An Ending)

I believe we all have many talents, some more than others. What I mean by that some of us are good at different things than others. For example, some people were meant to do music, some people were meant to be the lead singer, play the instruments, producer, or just dance to the music. 

Well may I please point out that this gentleman from Atlanta has the Feel Good Music we have all been waiting for. With his soothing but raspy riffs make you feel what he is singing. Click the link and hear for yourself, I'm exciting for what's to come. Thank me later.
 He is on my top week list of NEXT UP!!!
