You Are Terrified Of Being Successful And You Are Stifling Yourself

You are terrified of being successful and you are stifling yourself.

Hello, everyone, I decided to do this post because I have been in this situation myself.  Sometimes you are presented with opportunities and because they are new, or foreign, you are completely terrified.

Whether it is a new job or a new move, you can be so scared of the unknown and you will start to talk yourself out of being successful.

There are many instances where this occurs and I have seen people who want to move out of a bad environment and when they make the move, they are still unsatisfied, why? because they are scared that things may actually go their way in a more positive direction.

I am sure many of you have seen people who have been in bad relationships and finally find a good one will do everything in their power to ruin or get out of a good relationship because they are programmed for failure.

We can want to make changes but if we don't push forward in spite of adversity we may never get to the place where we want to be in life.

Life is hard, very hard, and if you continue to sit on your hands or make excuses, you will be stuck and stifled because of your decisions.

I have some projects in the works right now and I am frankly scared to death, scared of not making it but also scared of all the work that will have to go into making this project work to my satisfaction.

Nothing in life comes easy so I will say that you should try anyhow because if not you will never know and you will have regrets.

Beauty Really Is In The Eye Of The Beholder.

                                Beauty Really Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

Today was really an eye-opener for me. I had to go to a meeting and it was requested that I not wear makeup to this meeting and this was really hard.

Since I am in my middle-ages I have been wearing makeup for a while and don't get me wrong, I love my makeup because it makes me feel secure, sophisticated and beautiful, but I got to a point where I didn't leave the house without it.

I also wear makeup at home and today I walked around all day without a stitch of makeup on.  At first, I was self-conscious but I strolled past a mirror and I said " not bad, not bad" I had to accept me for who I was.

I have many flaws but it comes a time when you have to accept you and your flaws and just be beautiful, beautiful because you are alive and your face is uniquely yours.

Being a confident woman is beautiful to me, wearing my age is my testimony of who I am and where I have been.  Life was never easy but it is so beautiful to be an inspiration to young women who are at a place where I have been in my life.

No matter how old you are, you can be beautiful because your light, experience, and your grace will shine through.

I will still wear makeup but I am going to go out more and show the natural glow of my bare skin.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder because when you are at your worse someone will still find you beautiful and if they don't you will when you accept yourself.

Animal Print Has Always Been In Style, You Better Get Yours!

Animal Print Has Always Been In Style, You Better Get yours.


There is no secret that I have always loved animal print. I love how you can bring out a very plain outfit and make it fun and exciting.

This coat is perfect to put on top of an all-black outfit or even a bright red color if you want to be daring and really stand-out.

They say that animal print is a new neutral but I say that animal print is a staple that needs to be in your wardrobe.

This is a print that you can buy once and bring it back out year after year and these items can always be found in your local store but also at your local thrift store.

I saw an animal print vest at my last visit to my thrift store and I wish I had purchased it.  My favorite animal print item that I own is a pair of shoes that I have been wearing for years and it takes my outfits from boring to spicy.

If you are not a big animal print lover then you could add animal print accents such as belts, hats, gloves, boots, and handbags, that will give you a pop of animal print without being overwhelmed by it.

We have always heard the phrase " be a blessing" but a lot of us don't realize that we can take the smallest things to bless other people.  I have seen many people take good clothes and just toss them in the garbage because they are tired of them.

Do you realize that there are so many people who love to get those beautiful clothes that you are tired of so they can have a change of clothing to wear on a daily basis?

With all the natural disasters that we have been having, there are so many people who need clothes and you can do an online search to see what organizations that will take your clothes and do not sell them for profit.

It is nothing wrong with wanting to change your wardrobe and make sure that all the items that you donate are clean, without holes, and in good condition.

I am sure that you are going to go shopping after you have donated your used clothing and you will need some beautiful jewelry to go with all those tops and dresses that you are going to purchase, if you are interested you can go to this site and find rings, bracelets, and necklaces to bring your fabulous finds, out.

Do You Regret Buying A Moissanite Ring?

                                           Do You Regret Buying A Moissanite Ring?

This post contains affiliate links which means that I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

I have been looking into buying a Moissanite Ring for a while now.  Last week, I went to a national  Jewelry store chain, and I asked whether or not, they carried Moissanite and the salesperson said yes.

  I was so anxious to see this stone and she showed me a three-carat solitaire and it was so big and beautiful.

  I saw a lot of rainbows jumping out at me and she quoted me a price of three thousand dollars. I really like the sparkle of the ring but I did think that it was not the perfect alternative to a diamond for that price because it was a little too much color to be believable.

 I put it on my finger and it made me feel so wonderful to have it on.

The salesperson was pushing me extra hard to finance this ring and I told her no, I would have to take my time to decide whether this ring was for me.

 She then showed me one carat  Moissanite  and the size was more believable and she told me that this ring was one thousand dollars.

 This Moissanite still had a lot of rainbow color flashes, and I would say that it is wise to accept this stone for what it is and do not try to pass it as a diamond because there is a profound difference.

 Honestly, I think that I will still buy a Moissanite but I will not pay one thousand or three thousand dollars because I think that it is too much for this type of stone.

What the salesperson didn't know, I saw a one-carat Moissanite Solitaire Ring on eBay and it is being sold for $215.00.

  I was looking around in this Jewelry store to see what Moissanite really looked like and I have come to the conclusion, I will eventually buy a Moissanite but I refuse to pay retail for it.

Anyone, looking to buy this stone for an engagement ring, please check with the person you are buying it to see if they would be okay wearing this type of stone.  I personally would not go over a carat stone because the bigger it is, screams "I am fake."

If you are a person who likes extreme bling, then this ring would be for you, but, please see it in person to make your final decision.  When I purchase my ring, I will show it to you all.

The Best Place For Jewelry Is Hip Hop Bling ( It Doesn't Disappoint)

The best place for jewelry is Hip Hop Bling (It doesn't disappoint)


I did a review on this ring three years ago and the company is Hip Hop Bling.  This ring is so realistic and it has held up very well. I wear it on its own and also wear it with two diamond band rings and nobody can tell that this ring is not real.

I wanted to show you just how this ring still looks beautiful after all of these years and it is a company that you can trust.  You can see in this picture that the stones shine just like the real thing and the stones are set, they are not glued on.

Please go to my Youtube Channel Sashamoniquetalks to see the review https://www.youtube.com/user/SashaMoniqueTalks

You can see that I have the two diamond band rings on with the ring in this picture, it looks so pretty.
This post is not sponsored by Hip Hop Bling but I wanted to show you how this ring is holding up.

You can go on their website to see what they have available.
