What’s The Purpose…

I’ve decided to get rid of a lot of things in my life. I like to think of it as an early spring cleaning. I’m going to start by deleting a lot of stuff off my computer. I think my computer holds a lot of baggage and it’s really frustrating me. It’s not really just my computer though. It’s everything that I use my computer to access. Emails, certain websites, social networks, etc. I need to get rid of all of these things. It’s going to take a long time to go through everything, but I’m starting tonight and going through every file, every email, every bookmark, every website, everything…one at a time and deleting anything and everything that holds emotional baggage or serves no purpose. I’m tired of it.

I’ve had a lot of time to think lately and I really need to get myself together. I feel like I’m just floating through life. I have a purpose, I just need to get on it. I’m going to start accounting for everything. There’s no reason to have things around that have no purpose. That’s like me buying e-cigarettes when I don’t even smoke, just because they look cool. Everything needs to have a purpose or it’s going.

A Bad Bed Means Bad Sleep

I can’t wait until my mom gets her tax refund check. This year she’s buying me a new bed. I’m so happy because I really didn’t want to pay for it myself. Actually, she’s buying a new bed set for both of us. I’ve been planning to buy a new bed set for a while now because I’m allergic to the bed that I have. I’m not sure what the mattress is made of or what’s inside of it, but for some reason I always itch when I sleep on it. It had gotten so bad that I had to put my mattress in a huge plastic bag, a vinyl bed protector and a cotton mattress protector just so I wouldn’t itch.

After seeing all of those news specials when they talk about people reselling mattresses and doing weird things with them I’m scared to think what’s in my mattress. We’re planning to get our beds from a popular mattress place this time, so hopefully the quality will be better. I don’t want to have to keep buying allergy bedding because I can’t sleep on my mattress without breaking out. That’s not good at all. =/

Protective Hair Styles

Today I’m going to start taking out my braids and I’m really not looking forward to it. My mom put these braids in my hair about two weeks ago and I want to take them down so I can wash them. I usually don’t braid my hair because I prefer twists, but she wanted to braid my hair to see how long it’s grown. My hair has been growing so good lately. Cutting my hair off and going natural was a great decision. At the time I was a little nervous, but my hair has been thriving in this natural state.

I don’t think I’ll be doing these braids too often though. Even though braids make great protective styles they can also be reasons for hair loss. Not to mention they’re so time consuming. It takes about two or three hours to get them and it takes me as long to take them out. I think I’ll just get braids once a month when I’m in my old school Alicia Keys mood.

Last Minute Dieting

I’ve been a crash dieter for a while now and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just not working for me. As if it works for anyone, right? I need to find something that does because no matter how good I eat or how much I exercise I’m just not seeing the results that I want. I don’t think it should take this long to lose 20 pounds. It seems as if I can’t lose more than 5 pounds at any given time. That’s just not good enough for me.

I’m going to have to kick things up a notch. I don’t want to be like everyone else and call myself starting a diet in May to get ready for the summer. Although it’s almost March already so I guess I’m still kind of behind. I’m going to do some research online. I need to eat foods and do exercises that are known to be fat burners. There has to be things that I can do to boost my metabolism in order to lose weight.
