Hot Momma!!

Becoming a mother young has been a great experience for me. I had my daughter Paige when I was twenty one, and I do not regret having her young in any way. To begin with when you go through pregnancy and childbirth young, your body can easily snap right back into shape. At my six week checkup (after having Paige) I was three pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight.  My daughter is now one and I have lots of energy for her. I'm not so sure that I would be this way if I was an older mom. Having my daughter while in school has enabled me to basically be a stay at home mom. The only time I am away from her is when I'm in class. I am so excited about being a mommy and I can't wait to see what the future holds for my family and I.

Sisterhood

Being apart of a sorority has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my college career. Even as a child I always knew that I wanted to join my organization, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. My dreams became a reality on April 15, 2007, when I crossed into the first African American sorority. I cannot even describe the bond that I have with my sorority sisters. We have gone through so much together and have been and will be there for all of life's major moments. Like real sisters we fuss and fight but at the end of the day we are always there for each other.

Joining a Greek lettered organization allows you to give back, through community service in a major way. Not only are you enabled to serve your community on large platforms, but the networking is great. Employers in every field imaginable recognize your Greek affiliation and it definitely helps. Being a member of my organization is an affiliation that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Evolve

Everyday is a priceless opportunity to evolve and be a better person. No one is perfect and there is always something that can be changed about everybody. Being complacent is such a bad state to be in. Life is so short and you do not want to waste precious moments in life, by doing absolutely nothing. With our society revolving around capitalism, so many people just go home after working a 9-5, and just sit and watch TV, and wake up and do it all over again. Time goes by so fast, you do not want to look back and feel like you accomplished nothing and never obtained true happiness. Live life to the fullest, and find great people to share life's precious moments with! So go ahead, be happy with life and evolve daily.

FACE ACTION

Ladies, we all know that it is very important to take care of our skin, but our faces need a little more attention. There are so many items on the market for skin/face care, that it can be quite frustrating finding the perfect products. It is very important to remember the basics when it comes to skin care. First, what you put into your body is very important in determining how your skin will be. When it comes to skin care remember, "garbage in = garbage out". In order to have radiant and beautiful skin you must drink plenty of water, and have an overall healthy diet. Excess sugar and alcohol are definitely bad for your skin.Getting enough sleep is also very important. Seven to eight hours of sleep nightly is essential, for your skin to replenish itself. 

When it comes to actually caring for your face there are three essential products. You must have face wash, toner and moisturizer. At least three times a day you should first wash your face with the face wash, then apply toner, and finish off with a moisturizer.  Make sure that your moisturizer has SPF of at least 15. I recommend Aveeno products. Aveeno products are all natural and great for your skin.
