Life is changing more and more rapidly around me, and I am trying my hardest not to panic because I am not changing with it, but I'm scared and frustrated and flat out mad, because I do not understand what is happening... like at all. What is happening is not fair, but then again what is "fair" anyway?
I feel so out of hope, I am quite literally out of ideas, I feel so out of control, which has led me to some pretty irresponsible life choices. However, feeling out of control has also led me to learn how important is is to take care of my body [holistically] -- Top to Bottom, self care has led me to a life rooted in zen and hope and contentment. a place of trust that things will work out in the manner in which they are divinely designed.

So what do i do to feel like a million bucks even though I have less that zero dollars?
:DOVE:
I feel like I am super late to the dove train but dove products are phenomenal. I have always had dry skin and dove has softened me up to this divine creature with milky skin that doesn't crack or require heavy duty lotion application every couple of hours. - Lately I have been showering with the dove exfoliating cream wash and OMG, I am so late.
WHY DID NOONE EVER TELL ME?
:L O O F A:
exfoliating loofa's are a god send. wash your body with them.
:ST. Ives Coconut milk loation (w/ matching body wash):
This is probably the tears of angels. It is a delightful surprise, St. Ives.
combined with its namesake body wash or with dove's body wash it glides on my skin like a vat of crisco (which I used art one point in my life to counteract my dry skin), penetrates my pores.
I am moisturized all day!
I love taking care of my skin, and learning how to take care of my skin.
The majority of my life I have had chronically dry skin, it wasn't until I began to remedy it that I realized how it affected my self perception.
I feel good when my skin is good!
Now that I have a healthy body coat, I like to play around with other things...
:BATH AND BODY WORKS:
B&BW will N E V E R go out of style. IDC. not only are their formulas improving, they're fragrances are classic and to die for. My latest favorite is Waikiki Beach Cooconut and Mad About You.
The combination of the shower scrub, the ultra shea body cream and the diamond shimmer mist will have you ready for a sexy, fun night out on the town. or in my case a night out with your only local friend, sitting in a car watching youtube videos and scrolling on tumblr.

Wear clothes that show of your favorite body parts, Mine is my smile.
- (cliche, and also BS. I mean my smile IS popping but not my favorite) -
I LOVE my legs and I appreciate how AMAZING my cleavage is and so I have been actively trying to fashion outfits that expose and show off these parts of me. especially now that I have soft, supple skin that seriously, I can't stop rubbing/stroking.
Walk. everyday.... In April... #WEDA...
I drink as much water as I can.
I try to be conscious about keeping my cocktails as natural & sugar free as possible.
I try to actively be conscious about what I'm putting in my mouth... so even if I eat a whole tube of loaded baked potato Pringles I know I didn't do it absentmindedly...

| Discalimer: don't spend your last $$ on Lottery Tickets. Although they are fun it is an unwise use of $$. |
keep at least $5 in your bank or pocket: As someone who lives on a $0.00 budget, not having A N Y money at all gets very very very very very very very very depressing. It's not that I am money hungry/greedy but existing as an american adult in the year 2015 with literally no money, just is not fun... and no matter how free spirited and anti-establishment I become I still am an american adult human. -- online surveys are the worst but they really do pay cash money. freelancing where you can. do what you can to keep money in your pocket, it will make you feel better.
.keep your living area clean.

Everything is different for everybody, but these things have been the foundation of my zen as I move forward in life. - my feelings have not gone away, I am still scared and frustrates and flat out mad.
I still don't think this life thing is fair, especially mine, but what is fair anyway?
However, I am not allowing myself to be consumed by such things.
I will dream and try and try and dream again... every single time. every single day.
That is the bottom line.
My time will come, in the manner that is divinely designed for me.
