I am Back and Raring to Go!!!

I’m back! I apologize for being M.I.A. for awhile. It has been such a stressful and busy time for me. I truly hate to complain and be negative, but sometimes life throws you obstacles that can become a bit overbearing. It appears to me that when one bad thing goes wrong in your life, then another bad thing goes wrong… and oh wait a minute not done yet, let me just throw one more bad thing in your life just because…

I am a true believer that everything happens for a reason. I believe that God gives us these challenges to not only test us, but to show us that we are much stronger than we believe we are. That if you put your mind to it and also put your pride to the side, there isn’t one thing we cannot accomplish. It’s good to be an independent woman, but it’s also ok to ask for help when you need it.

I apologize for this blog being short today, but I am not feeling 100%… you know that little thing called fibroids and endometriosis are acting up right now. I just wanted to touch base and not seem like I just dropped off the face of the earth. I never let anything hold me down for too long, but I do know my limits. And although right now I’m not quite 100%, I am definitely back to business and raring to go!

But before I go, I just want to make sure that I thank my wonderful parents, my two little brothers and those wonderful friends who have been around to make me laugh and let me vent. And as always, thank you to my social media friends out there who take time out of their schedule to read my blogs and show your support. I truly appreciate it!

Have a goodnight and I will talk to you all soon 💋

Hi! My name is…and I am a Shopaholic!!!

Published on May 24, 2015May 25, 2015 by NAWatermanLeave a comment

The Webster dictionary defines a shopaholic as one who is extremely or excessively fond of shopping. And I must confess, that’s me!

I love love love clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry…etc; etc; There is not one thing about shopping that I do not love, except maybe the long lines. That is why I usually shop online and also because I will find unique clothing that thousands of women will not be wearing. I don’t have a twin. Therefore I do not need to walk around having another woman wearing the same outfit I have on.

When I go to the mall, my goal is to window shop, especially now that I work from home. But once I get into that mall, all logic goes out the window. Something tells me that I must have that blouse because I don’t have that particular style and if I do have that style, I don’t have that color. “And girl that color will look good on you!”. And of course if I really love the clothing, I must get it in every color.

Why is it everytime we have an event to attend or just going out on a date or with friends, we can never find anything in our closets to wear? I am so guilty of that. I swear I try on so many outfits from my closet and more than 50% of the time I am going to the mall or if I have time, I am going online to order a fabulous new outfit. Do we just do that as an excuse to shop? And forget it… vacation time. If I am going on vacation, that calls for a few new pieces… because the new pieces already hanging in my closet just will not make the cut for that island getaway. And please tell me I am not weird because I cannot wear the same swimsuit twice. I don’t know what it is about swimsuits, but if I wear it on a vacation, I will never wear it again.

For example: if I am going on a four day vacation and I know I will go to the beach all four days, I will buy four swimsuits. I will wear one each day and after that, I will never wear those swimsuits again. Does that make me weird? Is that a classic shopaholic move?

I will say that although I am a shopaholic, I am not one of those people that will spend my last dollar to buy that perfect outfit or that fabulous pair of shoes. I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF MY BILLS ARE TAKEN CARE OF AND THAT I HAVE A LOVELY NEST EGG SET ASIDE… there isn’t anything cute about being in a fabulous outfit and being broke! You need to make sure you have funds in that designer purse…

Just a little FYI, not an excuse to justify my shopping addiction, but I must say that at least twice a year I donate my clothes and accessories to the Lupus Foundation and to people less fortunate then myself.

As always, thanks for reading. Have a beautiful night and I will talk to you soon 💋

I just wanted to take time out to wish all of you beautiful Mothers a very Happy Mother’s Day!!!

I especially want to thank the most beautiful mother I know… my mommy!!! She is such an amazing mother and she loves all of us unconditionally.
