My brain is constantly traveling here, there, and everywhere. I’m always thinking about new ideas, you know, like new creations. I set back one day and just thought about the things that I take so much interest in now, things that didn’t mean so much to me before. For instance, cooking! Yep! I love to be in the kitchen. I get lots of pleasure seeing people enjoying the tasty meals I whip up!! Duuuh…I soak up the compliments. I’m always on the search for a new recipe.
For those of you who didn’t know…yes! I can cook! Before I had my very own litte family cooking was just that, cooking so I could eat and then be full. Ok! It wasn’t that bad but you get my point. Now I love it. I just love it. My dream kitchen has every cooking utensil that there is possible. I’m not really into baking but I do want to learn a few little sweet tricks for treats. I must have tons of cook books too. One particular cook book that I must have is “The Seasoned Life” by Ayesha Curry (I absolutley love her.) So an amazing kitchen filled with all the equipment I need, a lavish but cozy looking decor, and me wearing a cute apron is what I want my dream kitchen to be filled with. Mmm…I may make a trip to Home Goods and actually get a apron, first thing on my dream list for my dream kitchen. Hey I have to get this one by one and piece by piece. Always remember that in life don’t always be so hard on yourself. One by one and piece by piece.
Mmm…maybe I can talk my parents into getting me a crock pot. (I need to write that down.)
Hey wouldn’t it be amazing if I had my very own cook book?
So one day I was preparing to read a good book that my mommy sent me and I was like I really want a nice book shelf. I then came to the conclusion that I want my very own office or at least office space and there I can also have my book shelf. Talking about killing two birds with one stone. Yep! I want all the appealing little accessories that will make everyone who steps in my office will feel me, see me, and be like, “April this is so you.” Of course I want a picture of my little family on top of my desk. I don’t ever want to take my eyes off of them. All my ink pens, pencils, paper clips, sticky notes, etc will be super attractive, you know that girly touch. I need to make a run to Marshalls, TJ Max, most definitley Home Goods, and oh yeah Gordmans. Nice things for nice prices. My type of party! And last but not least I have got to have a candle for my finishing touches. I love love love candles! I forgot! I literally light a candle everyday. I would also want to have just a few little pictures with the motivational and spiritual quotes written on them. I’ve always thought they were cute and inspiring.
Do you think I should have my books lined up by author or in alphabetical order? I haven’t quit decided yet. I will cross that bridge when I get there. If my space is big enough (hint, hint husband) I want a cute and comfy chair in the corner that I can relax in while reading my books or brainstorming for my blogs.
My closet! Oh how I would love for my closet to look like Toya Wrights closet. (I saw it on social media.) It is absolutley beautiful. Its like simple but cute. I mean they say, less is more. However, I don’t have any where near all the shoes she has but I would love for the section that holds all my work out gear to be bigger, you know like a bigger selection. My sport bra game has definitly increased in the past year but I want more of everything. I want more tights, perferrably the ones that stop at your knees. I want the cute shirts, some of the shirts have sayings and some don’t and I want just a few shorts. I would have everything sectioned off too. All bras over here, the tights over there, and shorts beside the tights and then the shirts. I would actually get a few bright colors too. Everything is black, black, and more black. Don’t get me wrong I love a black wardrobe. You can’t go wrong ever. But some purple and red would be nice. Heck even some sun shine yellow too.
So I walked into the master bathroom and I’m like I need a make up organizer…like bad!! I have a make up box that is cheetah print. When I saw it I had to have it, and now it just sits there. It’s more for traveling if you ask me. Then I go in the guest bathroom and its just as bad. There’s makeup bags filled with more makeup and I’m just like, “seriosuly April.” I have some nice makeup bags too, but this whole makeup bag thing is a bit overwhelming to me now, honestly. I can not find anything haft the time, and I’ve already misplaced one of my favorite MAC lipsticks…MAC is not cheap!! Shoot! If it was a single dollar I will still be upset! It’s one of my favorites. It just doesn’t help knowing how much money I spent and I’m not even using it. GOSH!!
I went online and looked up makeup organizers and I’m so in love! They weren’t as expensive as I though they would be either! So that’s super exciting. I think I will go into Ulta and Sephora first before I make a purcahse online. I want to have all my lashes and utensils and glue for my lashes in one drawer, eye shadow, blush and highligher together maybe? Mmm…I’m not really sure yet! All my lipsticks and lip gloss I have though, I may need just a simple makeup box just for that. Oh my gosh. I would have to wear lipstick three times a day everyday to wear just half of the lipstick and glosses I have.
My hair products are getting out of hand now too. Well since I’ve been natural that is. I do my own hair way more now than I ever did back then. I have tons and tons of stuff. Most of it comes from trial and error but…oh well. So I need to handle that, and with being natural its so many products that you use for this and that. You have to co-wash, leave in conditioner and then you have so many different serums and glosses, and moisturizers. I’m sure getting something to keep all that stuff organized won’t be too difficult though. I can just get a bucket that is like divided and with a handle will be good since I’m always going from one bathroom to another when I do my hair sometimes. Why? I’m not sure. Maybe I just want a certain atmosphere. The master bathroom is more ordinary I guess you can say. His side. My side and that’s about it. The guest bathroom, which has more of my things in there, with some adorable accessories along everything that I need. It’s pretty cute if I do say so myself. I still add adorable what nots. You know a little piz-zazz never hurt anyone…not me anyways. Ain’t nothing wrong with a little spunk. I enjoy decorating and it’s amazing how the simpliest things can make a whole scenery pop hunny.
Well with all my wants (I would actually tell myhusband I need all these things, haha) looks like I need to save a little and then go on a shopping spree. There’s quit a few things I will like to go ahead and get started on so my home, my safe haven can be just a little closer to complete.
Okay, so some of you are probably thinking I’m just running my mouth per usual talking about any and everything. (Haha.) Well yeah, something like that. But whether you know it or not I am always making a point!
So the point of this blog on this good, good day is this here…FINISH WHAT YOU START!! Go through with all that you want to be done in your life. Regardless of what it is. Whatever is important to you start on it and finish it. Alot of times I come up with all these wonderful things, things I’ve been wanting to do for years. Things I’ve said,”what if April.” Why does it have to be a “what if’ though? Why can’t it just be? And it can be!! So guess what everything that peeks my interest I will start and finish. Even if the outcome doesn’t come out to be all that I wanted it to be I can stiill say I did it. I finished! That is what matters. Now somethings that you are interested in starting may not be benefical to the world and some people may feel like what’s the point? The point is it’s something that you want to do. That’s the point! Guess what! My kitchen, my office/office space, gym wardrobe, makeup, and hair prouducts will be laced to perfection by the time I’m done and I will make sure I let you know all about it. I will start today with little tweeking and I will get back with you when I’m finished. I will also let you know about the process, the patients, the wait, cause anything worth any perfection doesn’t nessacarily happen over night. I will pray and ask God to keep me driven and patient in all the goals I’m trying to accomplish, SCRATCH THAT NOT TRYING BUT WILL ACCOMPLISH!!
See little tedious things in life is what shows you who you are. I feel like it builds character. See all these things I want to do will not happen over night. So therefore I will develop patients for this. I have to be confident and not get frustrated. I have to trust and will trust that all my time and effort will not be in vain. How many times have you told yourself you were’nt going to do something because it’s just too much. Or you just don’t have time for all that!
I know I have! That’s why my dog on list of goals is so long!! It’s good though! I can do ALL things through Jesus Christ who stregthens me! I pray about everything…little things turn into big things when you put God in the middle of it! If you didn’t know, I suggest you ask somebody!!
I’m Just Saying…
