Nike style .. Just do it!

Though I have not been around this week
You, my readers, have been on ma mind
So as not to leave this week without a word or few
I decided to stop by for a minute or two
To leave a thought

Go after your dreams
No matter how big or small it may be
Take that first step toward it
No matter what people may say or think
If it makes you happy .. Do it!
If its legal .. Do it!
If its something you think God will approve .. Go ahead and do it!

Have a blessed weekend ya'll!!!

The Wow piece

In my previous post Don't waste time
I basically invited you in my 'quiet time' activity

But before I go any further
Lemmi just say this before I continue.. lol
This is not the only dress I have .. It just so happened that when I wear a statement piece
I always end up in this lovely dress
I love it .. Its one of my fave go to church dress
So bear with me :D
Now that that's out the way :) ... Lets get down to real matters

This 'piece' is my first sewn (with machine) bag
It has been on my heart a longgggggggg time ago to have a sewing machine
And powwww.. just like that
God blessed me with it for such as time as this
And I am soooo grateful

Ha .. Do pardon the quality of the pictures
But I was so happy to wear my bag!!!

It was a WOW bag for me
And so I had to post it on a Wednesday
It's a WOW Wednesday!!! :)

"Dreams do come through.. If only you believe, act and make it happen"

Have a WOW Wednesday

Don't waste your talent

When God blesses you with a talent
You shouldn't waste it
For me, it took me a while to realize what my talent was
While for others they just knew what there's were and ran with it.

I love DIYs activities .. Its fun for me
About 2 years ago, I sew a bag with my hand
And I enjoyed doing it
So I decided to share the 'quiet time' side of me 

Pardon the quality, it was taken 2 years ago with a not so posh phone 

Of course, I wore it to church the following day after it was made
No wasting time with that

I felt so proud of myself when I saw the finished product and the fact that it was hand-sewn
I love using my hands to make something out of nothing.

God gave me a talent to use my hands
And I want to say publicly that I plan to improve on what I got/know
Where is this hobby/talent going to take me?
Hmmm.. Lets see
But in the interim, I want you to take this journey with me.

I leave you with these questions to think about as I have previously done

What's my talent?
Why am I sitting on my talent?
What am I afraid of?

Its time to take the first step in making your dreams a reality.
Dreams do come through
As I speak to you, I encourage myself

"Don't waste your talent"

Matthew 25:14-30

Nutrition ... Pt 2

Continuing from yesterday's post
Informing you as I educate myself

These are the final 5 little known facts about well-known foods.

6. Pumpkin Seeds are high in zinc, which is good for the prostate and building of immune system. They also contain fatty acids that kills parasites. Raw pumpkin seeds contains fatty acids and beneficial proteins.

7. Sweet Potatoes are excellent sources of carotenoid (definition) antioxidants. They contain calcium, are very high in Vitamin A and C and contain thiamine. Be careful though eating too many may cause abdominal swelling and indigestion. Sweet potatoes are also high in sugar and therefore should be used sparingly. Sweet potatoes are nor related to the potato or yam family.  

8. Tomato is an excellent source of Vitamin C (the vitamin C is mostly concentrated in the jelly-like substance around the seeds). They also contain Vitamin A and B-complex vitamins, potassium and phosphorus.

9. Zucchini and other summer squash varieties contain Vitamin A and C. They also contain potassium and calcium. The flavor of zucchini is best when it is less than 6 inches long. Zucchini can grow as large as a baseball bat but have little flavor when they reach that size.

10. Peanuts contain beneficial protein but many people (like me) are allergic to them and find them very hard to digest. They contain Aflatoxin (definition), a carcinogenic (definition) which explains why peanut farmers have been found to have disproportionately high rates of cancer.

Doing this research has been very informative for me.
Hope it was as to you as it was for me


What are some of the well known foods around the world that persons may not know much about?
I look forward to hearing some of your feedback.

Until next time .. Stay healthy

Nutrition Time .. Part 1

Its been a while .. But I am challenging myself to drop in every now and then
Even if it is to leave a quote or so


These are 5 little-known facts about well-known foods.

1. Avocado [also known as pear in some countries] has more than twice as much potassium as banana. For delicious, creamy salad dressing, mix together avocado and fresh carrot juice.

2. Bananas are high in sugar so they should not be eaten if you have blood sugar problems (but if you so desire to intake, don't eat all of 12 at once - one will suffice). Don't eat bananas on an empty stomach; combining it with a little protein will help to normalize the insulin response caused by the sugar in banana. Green-tipped bananas are better for your health than over-ripe (not sure why).

3. Beet Roots are high in carbohydrate levels and should therefore be used sparingly.

4. Broccoli contains twice the vitamin C of an orange. It has almost as much calcium as whole milk.

5. Cilantro may be useful to treat urinary tract infections. Both the leaves and seeds aid digestion, relieve intestinal gas, pain and distention.

Some of these fruits and vegetables are great for weight-loss
Since I've noticed everyone starting this healthy lifestyle
Not sure if its a trend or persons just becoming health conscious,
But healthy should be a lifestyle
Our bodies are worth more than those junk!

Please note guys that I am no dietician or nutritionist
But I did a mini research :)

Have a healthy fun filled day :D
See you tomorrow!
