It’s only two weeks until Thanksgiving and life isn’t slowing up. I’m slowly but surely leaving the nest and saving for my very first post-grad home!

I’m excited! This weekend we are checking out the interior of some town homes we’ve been eyeing. I’m also making a registry for our house warming.

Here is a floor plan I absolutely love in a community I would love to live at!

If God helps us find our new home before Christmas, it would truly be a blessing.

Life…it’s full of uncertainty. I read an article today where Warren Buffet discussed life and luck. We all pray we come across good luck throughout our lives. We all know there will be bad days and good days throughout our lives.

Today was a bad & good day. Is that possible?

It’s a day I won’t forget.

This afternoon my Aunt Ray passed away. I don’t even know the details right now but I’ll know before the end of the night.

Aunt Ray is my Uncle Rick’s one true love. I’ll never forget her. She was so kind and always encouraging. They just celebrated their Wedding Anniversary.

I don’t know what to say to my Uncle Rick. There’s nothing to say really. Nothing I can say will make the pain go away. I’m not even married but if something were to happen to Alex I don’t know what I would do.

I feel helpless and heart broken just as I felt when my brother Anthony passed away.

All I can do is pray to God to carry my uncle & the kids through this hardship. I pray we see Aunt Ray again after this lifetime. This is not our final destination.

God please protect her soul.

The good news is that JB got his first job. We’ve been praying for months and it finally happened.

I’ve been told not to question God but I will continue to pray. I don’t know what’s the bigger plan of the universe. I can only thank God for blessing our family to share good times with our precious loved ones. We will always love you Aunt Ray.

Do you frequently experience breakage? Then it’s time to protect your hair better.I prevent breakage to by oiling my hair daily. I also wrap my hair right before bed. I use a satin wrap cap style at night to prevent breakage and protect my hair style as best as possible. This helps me reassure myself I will look fierce in the morning while still getting my beauty sleep at night.The satin wrap cap style is easy to use. All you have to do is tie it on like you would tie your shoe strings. It’s an inexpensive purchase that will keep your hair healthy and beautiful. Get your satin wrap cap today at Walmart, Target or any local beauty store.

Are you over your head in debt? Are you feeling trapped and overwhelmed by the amount of debt you have?

Then it’s time to make a plan to cut down your debt. One great way you can get rid of overwhelming debt is to pay off the debt with the highest interest rates as soon as possible.

You can do this by finding a way to pay more than the minimum. When you only pay the minimum, you’re mostly covering incurred interest rates. That’s not going to remove debt.

You can find extra money to help you pay down your debt by writing down how and when you spend your money. This little step of self-accountability can help you save more than 20% of money you would spend else where on non-essentials such as eating carry out at work everyday.

As an alternative, you can eat homemade lunches and use the money you would spend on carry out to put forth to your debt.

To play it safe with debt, never put yourself in a position where your debt takes up more than 15% of your overall income. Otherwise you’ll be in over your head for a lifetime.

If paying your highest interest rate debts discourage you, you can try to pay off little bills first and use those savings to go towards larger bills.

The key to paying off debt is to think wisely about how you are spending money.

There will come times in your life where you’ll need some form of debt to further your goals in life.

Think on what you need to succeed and only accrue enough debt to reach those goals. Get what you need rather than seeking to have everything you want. It makes a difference.
