Peep this..... 2017
2016 is almost over, 11 days til 2017.
Friends, let's close out with good note. Good or bad, learn from the lesson and keep moving forward.
Speaking on that note, I want to finish up on two books sitting on the bookshelf collecting dust for a year.
* I can do it :)

2016 is almost over, can we breathe for a moment?
I can not wait to see this movie.
Not because of the trailer but the whole storyline of the game. If you haven't played Assassin's Creed (who hasn't!) then you'll get lost in the whole plot if watching the movie.
Of course Michael Fassbender---(cue the Married with Children audience sound bit where the one guy howls when Christina Applegate's character Kelly Bundy walks into the room.) OOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!
Fall semester is over as of Monday... Thank the Goddess as my brain turned into mush couldn't think straight, stressed (lavender oil and hitting bed early), plenty of water helped out. Though I caught a cold during the Thanksgiving holidays, my brain and body feels better now.
Let the fun times roll!
Speaking on movie trailers, watched Suicide Squad........................................................................................................
I give it 10 thumbs down with counting the cows at the farm too. That movie just sucked. It bored the hell out of me, only character whose interesting is Amanda Waller! Just say Viola Davis should have won 7 Academy Awards in this role instead of The Help. Seriously, never watched The Help and neva eva, eva, eva intent to watch until the day I die. The reboot of Ghostbusters is better than Suicide, not ashamed of what I said; you can disagree with me until infinity but Ghostbusters had more jokes, action and a decent storyline.
"Which picture is better me listening to sax or playing the sax?"

Another hidden gem in good ol East Texas is 7th St. Cafe in Cushing, Texas. Delicious food, good drinks and laid back atmosphere makes the place awesome. I didn't know this place existed!! Almost 15 years??? Where was I? Don't let the Iron Pine Curtain fool you, there's beauty among the old buildings, faded signs and unique history.

Don't let the exterior fool you. |
Xmas is around the corner and 2016 is almost over. This has been one weird year but I had fun. Can't get over how many people have passed away this year every time you've turned around. 2016 was no joke to celebrities to hometown people leaving this earth. My love and condolences to every family, 2016 also claimed my grandfather's sister.
The family may never seen eye to eye with her but broke my heart to hear the news. Indeed she'll cast the evil eye on you for no reason but she lived an interesting life and have a big heart. Reminds me of Patti Lupone's character from Penny Dreadful, spend time getting to know the person and all the negative stories fade away.
Well gang it's time to hop, MudRun 2017 registration is tomorrow and must get in shape before April. Terribly excited, this time wreck it like Ralph!!
Peace and Blessings,

Still on the Halloween kick and its almost Turkey Day.
Yes YES YES, the weather in East Texas is getting cooler and loviiiinnnngggg iiiittt!!!
Halloween wasn't celebrated properly so taken the liberty to extend it throughout November so mucho horror movies to watch and it's sooo much fun!!
Not a Starbucks fan but the Passion & Peach hot teas are to die for! Move over Pumpkin spice of everything you can think of, bring the tropical flavors for the Fall/Winter season. Only thing pumpkin I like is pie. Believe there's a "unoffical" Southern food rule where pumpkin pie is a treason of traditional Southern holiday pies and cakes. Always been the rule breaker and rebel of the family!! LOL
Me after the election: Woke up with a smile and went about my day. The sun was shining, people being friendly and nice. Shoot had a great day at work. The End.

Swearing on the Lisa Frank Bible this how it was in Texas, no joke! |
FYI: Please be nice to retail employees on Thanksgiving night and Black Friday sales. They are being patient with you and there to serve. These people are missing half of a holiday to cater you with your early Christmas shopping, we need you as well you need us.
Again do not fight on these days!!!! The

Dragon Con and Happy 50th Anniversary to Star Trek.
Greetings from Texas!
Typing this from a long nap--jet lag and driving, regaining my strength and a good tuna sub
Labor Day weekend adventure was set in Atlanta, GA for Dragon Con 2016!
My first time cosplay and visiting Atlanta was a treat. Running off with two wonderful girls from the adopted town I reside.
First Day: Nyota Uhura
I had to represent Uhura because she is the FIRST cosplay decision ever--hands down.
Growing up watching Star Trek, Ms. Nichols portraying Uhura gave me a role model for being a sci-fi fan and a woman of color to boldly go! Mom would be proud of me wearing the proud symbol and yes Uhura was a her childhood role model too. Posing next to a Dalek, am too a Dr. Who fan.

Oh baby, did I do it or not? My favorite character since high school; Ash from the cult classic Evil Dead 2. My mother was terrifed of the cover when we rented at the video store (remember those?) as my brother and I popped it in; we laughed, got scared and found a hero: Ash. Many years later share my love for this movie and Army of Darkness with my children. My son loves Ash and bought him the action figure too. He also recited the classic "This here is my boomstick" dialog.
Though my chainsaw isn't "practical" I used salvaged parts at the last minute.

McGyver the hell out my costume |
Hail to the Queen, Baby!
Last day: Dalek (Victorian/Steampunk/50's-esque)
Cute Daleks wear pearls when exterminating, we broke off from the others and form our own clan.
I seen Alex Kingston...enough said!
Rivvvaassooonnngggggg!!!
Happy wonderful 50th Anniversary to Star Trek.
Star Trek is still ahead of it's time and love every episode, movie and whatever ST I can get ahold to. Second generation Trekkie that I am.

I LOVE CHANGE!
Dang!!!
Last post from May..geez lol
Due to my short absence, I have accepted a position at a very nice corporation that is every girl's dream selling makeup, skincare and everything under the sun.
We all love this store so much it's a mecca. My new postion....
DRUM ROLL PLEASE!
Arch Expert for Benefit!!!
I love my pink 50's inspired apron, the fun in being the brow go to lady here in merry ol East Texas.
Benefit fits me to a T= Pink, fun, full of laughter and can I say fit the laid back vibe of the six pillars of Benefit.
Bold and girly--that's ME!
It's been an honor and a pleaure to be on the radio on our grand opening with an interview. Dude, my name is spreading slowly but surely as one of the best in brows in the area.
I am great and passionate about brows but also skincare and makeup. Funny thing, brows was never my jam in school and working in the beauty industry. Somehow brow waxing, threading and grooming met up with me in a later life cycle and enjoy every minute of making women; beautiful inside and out. And guys--you are included in the magic too! Hey don't be shy about getting those caterpillars tamed, nothing wrong with a good cleanup and NO you're not a metrosexual for doing it either. Male grooming is important but much simple and basic just like cleaning the dirt from your fingernails. Don't worry, you're still a man to us women but taking care of the basics.
Other than that X-Men sucked...HAHHAHHAHAHHAHAA
But Fassbender tho.....

Summer blockbusters, Summertime body and ate some mud along the way...
How fly was Captain America: Civil War????
Better than Dawn of Justice!!!!!
This movie blew me away in every aspect of the comic book movies trends. Not to spoil it too much, Antman and Black Panther stole the show. Shoot, Spiderman's cameo is off the chain.
In aspect of the sexy ass grown man hawtness levels💪💪💪💪 it is 3.14π.
No, I did not pick a side because both had credible points, both Iron Man/Tony Stark and Captain America/Steve Rogers are right.
My father took me out for Mother's Day dinner and guess the main topic??
Captain America!! Mind you he's use to my *colorful vernacular* on the topic of good looking actors. He's very brave-- when I say brave he sat through Magic Mike XXL on his visit at my house. A man's perspective is interesting when the movie is about male entertainers.
*Ladies, Magic Mike the Show in Las Vegas is heading our way in March 2017*
Now I cannot wait to see X-Men, which have a 50/50 live or die situation.
Those are my 2 movies of the year, if something else capture my interest. Take that back watched Divergent late March, not too bad IMO the second Divergent movie is better. Maybe because the audience in San Francisco is receptive to arts and entertainment. Love to hit a cool drive-in in Austin or a movie in the park.
Enough of my comic book movie nerdage.....
2016 Mud Run 5k was the most amazing and muddiest activity I've participated. You talking about tough, geez very tough!
I left there with a smile completing in 1hr and 20 minutes. Wasn't any different from going into the woods where snakes, frogs and other wild animals live. After 3 showers I was still pumped and went out country & western dancing later on. Now that what I call an Amazing Saturday!!
Shedding the winter pounds and getting back into my summer shape. Not too much weight gain but it does need to leave, doing pretty well; arms are toning up, abs a little and the legs are getting stronger.
Summer is approaching and fun times are coming.
At least I didn't say 'Winter is coming' hahahaha
Peace & Blessings

Essential Oils are AMMMMAAAZZINNNGGG!!!
Howdy Girls and Guys!
Enjoying my lemon and cucumber water while blogging on a sunny breezy Saturday morning listening to the birds with a smile. The simplicity of nature and a cool refreshing drink tops the morning!
Working hard and studying hard and preparing for another cool next Saturday adventure.
One thing that helps me is Essential Oils and its qualities.

I'll admit needing an extra push in my wellness goals and been using essential oils for a long time.

Also seeing and hearing a person who use oils within their daily life and making a difference is the importance.

My children are using doTERRA in their active life's improves the quality and seeing the difference in wellness.
