Last time I feel in Love it was with Gucci. This time I am in love with Louis! This time I mad it official and made the bag mine!
This bag is so cute and functional! It can be an evening clutch or a daytime casual, hands free bag to hold your essentials such as an EPI-PEN! I had a wristlet I would take with me everywhere including ball games, late night partying, and quick brisk through the mall.
The biggest problem was the wristlet couldn't fit my EPi- Pen let alone my phone and keys. Plus the wristlet would get in the way at times. Having a crossbody over the shoulder bag that is a little bigger than my wristlet that can hold my phone, keys, and Epi- Pen is more my speed.

Why spend your time reading & watching what's going on in other people's lives, when it has no benefit to you. The time you take out of your day to watch other people live their lives and hear gossip about other people, you are preventing yourself from enriching your own life. The rich get richer and at your expense. The next time you want to sit down and watch 3hrs worth of TV think and ask yourself, "Is there anything else I could be doing with my time that will put me in a better position in the future?"
lets bring it home:
Example #1
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian has graced the cover of many magazines, she has over 9million followers on Twitter, and in 2011 her estimated net worth was reported at 35million source. Not bad for someone who doesn't have a college degree, neither sings, dance, nor have super amazing athletic skills or training. However she has successfully branded herself and continues to be a smart business woman taking advantage of many business and entertainment opportunities. She has come a long way from being that girl in the sex tape with Ray J,
Co Owner of Dash Clothing boutique
December 2007 issue of Playboy
Face model for Bongo jeans, Shoedazzle endorsement
ABC Dancing With The Stars
40K an episode on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim and Kourtney Take New York
and countless other endeavors that are too many to name.
Thanks to many fans, supporters, and even haters she continues to profit from others infatuation and curiosity about her. Nothing is wrong with supporting someone and indulging in Pop culture phenomenons but if you're trying to live the Sassy Savvy Biz life you may want to take care of your own affairs and prioritize whats important in your life before you give too much energy to "reality Tv" because the more you watch the more they profit and the less you have time to study and work on your brand.
I often recite the quote, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" by Ben Franklin. I learned and have noticed a significant difference in production when I implement my lessons on planning. Whether you're developing relationships, starting a new business, or starting a new assignment at work planning has significant advantages. As part of planning, I like to start To Do lists and create very detailed daily/monthly schedules to help me stay on track. Today starts a new week and I promise I will create a new plan to tackle this week and my ever growing list of To Dos and tasks. In addition to CPA studying I am also participating in a social media internship that I absolutely love! I'm still maintaining my full time career and the many assignments that come along with it. Recently at work I signed up to be a pioneer for a spectacular experience and career opportunity in addition to my regular duties, assignments, and responsibilities. So as you can see I have a lot of things going on and I know the best way to approach it is to have a detailed plan that includes a list of To Dos and schedule. Oh, not to mention I'm not just some boring business person, I have a sassy life too. lol I enjoy pop culture and going out combining business with pleasure by networking at events so I have to find time to cater and feed my sassy side. I always mention its important to have a balanced life, too much of anything is a bad thing. I think its impossible to have a balanced life and balance all your tasks,responsibilities,and duties without having a plan.
How To Plan: 1. Write down everything you need to do or place it in your electronic planning device, phone, ipad, laptop etc.
2. Review your tasks and prioritize the items at the same time each day.
3. Look at your list of appointments for the day and determine which are important to do on this day. 4. Schedule blocks of time in your day to work on your to do list. 5. Allow for flexibility in your schedule. In other words, don't over schedule yourself.
I enjoy my way of living and would like to share it with others by giving insight, inspiration, and inviting your involvement. I firmly believe "you are what you eat" whether you are feeding your body food, feeding your mind thoughts and opinions from others, or feeding your spirit beliefs and ideologies. I also believe your activities, friends and other things you participate in is a reflection of who you are. In the words of contemporary gentleman Bereolesque "It takes a million dollars to buy a million dollar house, so it takes a good woman to attract a good man". So if you are not satisfied with your life or lifestyle turn off the TV, take a break from media,family, & friends and evaluate what causes the dissatisfaction. What is holding you back from having the life you want? Who or what is negatively influencing you? Once you evaluate what's going wrong on in your life, next decide how you will turn your life around and have the life and lifestyle you want.
You are what you eat is just one theory I live my life by that contributes to my "abundant life" lifestyle, so stay tune to my blog and continue to receive insight, inspiration and as always I welcome your involvement.
