 Hey you guys, we are in mid-February, I believe it's like February 13th to 14th girl, I don't know. Um, look at this hair girl, I'm serving you 1950s rocks, but little Richard, I'm serving you little Richard Tees with this hair. Anyway y'all, I got up early, actually late for me, 5.30 and really started to look into, I feel like I keep saying this, but ways that I can cut in my diet and I started looking into, I know what's really big right now is keto diet and you know, I've always looked into the paleo diet stuff like that. So yeah, I just see something that's very similar with all of those diets, it's hardly no processed foods, why? Um, no sugars, no refined sugars, a lot of leafy greens, no alcohol, girl that's cool, but it's not going to be too bad for me because I honestly probably drink down once a week, maybe, and that's wine, heart liquor, I could go months and I have a drink. So you guys probably know what day it is, Valentine's Day and this is JB Bucks girl look, this school, yeah this school activities be a little pricey every now and I do everything to save money. So you guys saw in the previous video, I already had the stuff for Valentine's Day, got the carts last year, now they're saying when I picked them up last week or two weeks ago, they were like, well your kids have to have a Valentine's Day box so they could put their carts in. Baby, I, look, this is an old, what is this, Burberry perfume box that my husband bought me, Burberry last year, this is an old box, perfume box. And we have a boring black box. I'm trying to shoot, so it doesn't really cut, hold, can't really cut, hold it in. That's mine, I went to the Dollar Tree, I spent three dollars buying the stuff, and there you go, have it, let me tell you something, this man is not going to get on my nerves, y'all, he is not going to get on my nerves, he's not going to get on my nerves. He just got over being sick, he's still a little congested, we don't even know what the hell it is, I told him, I think it's his allergies, right, I think it's his allergies. So anyway, I'm going to ask him, I need to be quiet, I'm going to ask him, I'm like, okay, so what time is your appointment, because there's the surgery, basically, because I need to drop him off and turn around and go pick up JB, because his, his surgery is at 1.30, JB, I see, picked up by 2.30, and this is in downtown Phoenix, right, so he's like, he doesn't even answer, he's like, I can't eat for two hours, I can't eat for two hours beforehand. I looked at him like, I'll give a damn about you, not being able to eat for two hours, I need to know what's, I don't have an emergency section. Now I know some of y'all think, if anything, what does it have to do with him having cataract surgery, because damn it, when I had my emergency section, they said, uh, you can't eat or drink. And I was like, what? Do y'all know how hard it is for a pregnant woman not to eat, chow? So no, don't tell me that you can't eat for two hours before you're going to get an eye surgery, don't care about that, drink some water. That's why I don't want to say drink some water, eat some ice. Yeah, he ain't gonna worry me. He's not gonna worry me. Mm-mm. So look, we had, I keep changing the plans on everything. And he getting on my nerves by this because he's saying, well, I don't know. I said, well, do you want to go to the movies? Oh, well, I think he said, well, I don't know how I'm gonna feel. I said, okay, that's why we can, you know, wait till Sunday. He said, well, no, we make, we make you out Friday. I'm like, look, you need to let me know when, because that means I gotta do my hair early. Y'all, I'm going to do those two videos. I'm going to buy that blow dryer with the brush, the Revlon blow, blow style and whatever the hell it's called. Yeah, excuse me. I'm scared of rain because he's getting on my nerves. So I'm like, you need to let me know because I need to wash my hair like tomorrow, if that's the case. Well, I don't know how I get up and feel. I said, I get it. I understand. I get it. I really do. I said, I get it. I understand. So, plus, I don't think I want to go to the movies. Why is a lot of people anyway, aka on the weekend, because the flu is out of control. We all know it's an epidemic. I got on YouTube. Apparently, Leah Gordon has to flu every day when I'm on Facebook every day. Every other day when I get on Facebook, one of my friends, someone in their family has to flu. And I don't have a lot of friends on Facebook. You guys, I probably have, I have less than 500 friends. I know that on Facebook half of them are people from long of you hell. So, all family members. And that's about it. Yeah, I'm not doing nothing. My co-work was like, this is your first year as a married couple. What are you going to do? I said drive him to his damn cataract surgery. Hey, y'all, we just came back from whole paycheck. Look at this. Two bags. Two bags of groceries. $100. Two bags. $100. I think it's the 15th. My husband's surgery went well, but girl, oh, let me just go ahead and elaborate on that. It went really well. And we just got back from follow up for the eye specialist. And we stopped by Whole Foods to pick up some stuff because I'm like, look, I'm not cooking. I am so tired. His surgery was scheduled for 130. Asked me why they didn't call him back there to like 240. It was raining yesterday. It was cold yesterday, at least cold for us in the 50s. So I know that area a little bit is downtown Phoenix. And I knew there was a Chick-fil-A that has an indoor playground. So I'm like, look, JB, let's just pack up all our stuff because everybody in here has great hair. I don't need you to be raising anyone's blood pressure. You know, these people are here to get their cataracts done. So I took my baby, sorry, I took JB, and we went to Chick-fil-A. Now I had something to eat because I was hungry as hell. I had a wrap, the vegan wrap, which is on the secret menu, and some fries. Now I've been having this every two weeks, y'all, truth be told, because the chicken to me now is salty. So I love to have, again, it's the wrap, no chicken, and they add beans and corn to it, right? So I ate it. It was good, great. Go get my husband, let me back up, an hour pass by after I've eaten it, right? Go get my, go to the, to the chiropractor's office and 30 minutes pass by. JB's with me, he's doing good. He's on his good behavior. So an hour and a half after I had eight, I'm starting to feel nauseated. Girl, I'm starting to, my stomach is hurting. I'm feeling, I'm getting cotton mouth, saliva building up. I'm like, you know what, I gotta throw up. I'm feeling queasy. I am not feeling good. So I'm like, I'm not gonna throw up in no public area. So I'm gonna take it home, which is like 40 minutes away. Get home, did what I had to do, got sick. And around eight o'clock towards tonight, I started to feel achy. I'm like, oh, I don't feel good at a girl all night up until it's 12 o'clock. I'm talking about chills. I had a slight fever. I mean, my temperature went up to like a hundred. Other bodily issues, basically a stomach flu. I'm still queasy. My body is still hurting. I got me some IV, I got me some IV profan. It's a Peptobismol, but one thing I did do that literally, and I should have recorded this, but I wasn't feeling good up until now. I did a detox bath. It consisted of epsom salt, baking powder, lavender oil, thieves oil. Yeah, and that's it. I soaked in that for about 30 minutes. I'm telling you, I felt so much better. I'm gonna do another one tonight before I go to bed. I'm gonna do one every damn day, if I know what I'm gonna do. But I'll do one tonight, and I'll probably do one tomorrow, and I should feel better. I should be there. So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and get my ginger tea together, drink that off and on all day. I got some stuff that I can eat throughout the day, because I'm not cooking. Maybe not tomorrow either. Look, I'm looking at cities behind me. All right, y'all. Yeah, no more Chick-fil-A for me for a while. Actually, no more eating out for me for a while anyway. Good morning. Good morning, you guys. I am making bone broth this morning after my running with the stomach flu girl, whatever the hell that was. So what this is, I took about two pounds of bones that I bought from Whole Foods and roasted those for about 45 minutes on 400 degrees. Added some bottled water, three sticks of carrots, celery, onions, ginger, and yes, this has been simmering all night. It'll probably simmer all day, because after about 24 hours, that's when it gets real good, girl. So yeah, it's gonna simmer for a while. Yeah, y'all, that's what's going on today. It's Friday, it's Friday, and I'm ready to swing. Okay, so yeah, I just have these two. So I may need to buy about two or three more at Walmart. I got a lot of stuff I got to get at Walmart, y'all. A lot of cleaning stuff. Let me see what this child is doing. I'm trying to teach JB Jabasa to get himself ready. Yeah, my child's not gonna be 67 years old. Wait for me to help him to get ready. So let me make sure. You okay, baby? Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait a minute. Are you gonna go with me to the store or are you gonna stay here with daddy? This is what I'm talking about. Are you gonna go with me to the store or are you gonna stay here? JB? I'm gonna go ahead and go then. I'm gonna go ahead and go. And I gotta go. I'll catch you later. You using that baking soda? You always use baking soda when you're trying to brush your teeth. At Walmart, y'all, I just ran into my friend's mom. She was getting ready to put a cart bag, and she's like, do you want it? I said I do. I said, now look at it. I said, you look familiar. And she's like, well, I'm not from here. I'm from Honduras. She speaks extremely proper in the form that almost like she's an educator and come to find out she's a teacher. So anyway, she's like, I'm not from here. I'm from South America. I'm from Honduras. I said, well, my friend's mom is from Honduras. She's like, well, what's your friend name again? I said D. And she's like, we actually FaceTime with you one time when JB was two years old. We don't need those right now, baby. Yeah. Come on, sweetheart. Anyway, she's like, yeah, I'm come over here, baby. She's like, yeah, I'm here in the country because you know, these traveling all around the world. I decided the last minute that we're going to go see Black Panther today, opening day, but we're going to go early like around two o'clock. They're literally showing it every 30 minutes in my local theater. So we're going to go to a clock where hopefully it won't be a lot of people. Let it go. Look at that gold lip. I really can't see the color in here. I know. We just got back from watching Black Panther. Fabulous movie. Fabulous movie. There was a couple of things I have to tell my husband because he just know that we're going to go see a Black Panther. He probably thought Black Panther and not something else, but yeah, it was a good movie. I really did enjoy it. I'm not going to give any spoilers, but by the time I upload this girl, y'all probably should have seen it by now, but absolutely loved the movie. Wasn't what I expected. There was a couple of things that I was assuming before the movie even came on and I'm glad that it met my expectations and that there were some surprises. So yeah. Good baby. Oh, you were blaming me on it. Ciao. Hey, y'all. Good morning. Good morning. It's Saturday morning. These leggings I have on are a look too dirty. Look, I'm a baking pancakes girl. I'm making pancakes. Speaking of y'all, let me, let me kind of make this to where y'all can see us. Yesterday. Yeah. Okay, JP. Yesterday, look, I am over making special foods for everyone in my household up until two or three months ago. I would make JB something special just for him and then I will cook dinner for my husband. I, I'm over that. I'm tiring and granted it wasn't like make something special. Maybe JB wanted me to make him some pancakes or I need to do something special for him. I'm not doing it anymore. He's five years old. I told my husband, I said, if you want to cook him something differently, you can, but I'm not doing it anymore. I'm not going to make a three, four course meal. So let me tell you what happened. I was snapping off y'all because I was tired. It was end of the day. This was Friday. I have been working, but I didn't go see Black Panther as y'all saw. Um, just over it all. It was a long week. I was ready for it to be over. And now you want to make you some pancakes? Thank you. So my husband doesn't know how to cook at all girl. I think the only thing he knows how to cook is goat beef and some grits and we ain't gonna eat none of that. Right. So I said, well, how's your daddy? This is one of those moments. Ask your daddy mama's got ask your daddy. And so he reluctantly after four or five ask your daddy's he finally got up. This is my husband. He finally got up reading the box of pancake mix granted. This is the only, uh, this one of those mix where all you do is add water. That's it girl. Water. That's it. So he's asking JB, okay, so where's the pancake mix? I'm like, Oh Lord, please don't work my nerves right now. So I found the pancakes mix one. And then he's like, okay, well I got to get some butter found the butter girl. I said their head might hurt my headphones because I don't want to hear the fool. I don't want to hear it. All of a sudden I hear JBL. That's not walked in there. This man had my good cast not cast on. It was the ceramic my favorite ceramic. The heat was on medium high, which is way too high to be cooking some pancakes. Medium high. He had send the pancake out so much he was basically in there making some damn crepes. So crap. So what have you been at some crepes and to be some pancakes. Let's say you need to put some, I said no. First of all, you have the eye up too high. You need to turn it down low. You need to put some more powder in here because it's this pancake. So way too thin for him. So two or three of those JB was like, I'm not that look now. I said, Oh my God. So I told Tom basically y'all it was like from where that scene from the color purple or Mr. went in there cooking that food for she gave and she was basically like sitting in the rocking chair and looking at him like he is going to mess this. Anyway, they happy yesterday. So yeah, anyway, we are on our way to the Goodwill. Well, first I'm going to get some coffee you guys. I'm not buying any coffee for the household for a while. I've been drinking tea, but I need some coffee this morning. Probably don't but I do. So I want to stop by give me some coffee then we're going to go to the Goodwill because I want to look at some stuff. There's a little bit of brows and I have a little extra cushion this month. So I want to look around the Goodwill and then we're going to go to the Dollar Tree. I need to buy some cleaning products around the house and then we're going to go to Staples. I'm going to take y'all with me this morning to run our errands, right? Look at this. These are pretty. I think I make it these. I think they're really I really do like these. I'm going to make it. Don't touch anything. Put it back. Put it back. Put it back. Well, that's not coffee. Yeah. What is that? I'm wearing your hair, but we got to wash your hair either today or tomorrow. Definitely. Oh, what is she doing over here? What's that? What's that? A lizard right there. He took their chameleons, I think. Okay. Let me show you guys what I got from the Goodwill. I found these beautiful. They're bowls. They look like they could be salad or soup bowls. Not soup bowls, but definitely salad bowls, but these beautiful. I like odd shape looking dishware. So these, let me show you how much it was. I left the price because you're going to don't touch that boy. Don't you dare touch it. Yes. 99 cents for each one. And I turned the back of it and it says that it's Pamela glating. Hey, put that down please. China. And I went on eBay and found a set that someone was selling for $30. Yes, scroll. And I only bought, I only spent $4 for all four of these. Not a bad deal at all. Hold on, baby. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. You ready? Now go. Wow, I should have 50 tickets. What else do you want to play? Okay. So, y'all, I'm not supposed to be watching any ratchet TV this month, but I had to give in and watch married to medicine. Are you in the bathroom? Did you go to the bathroom? Did you go to the bathroom? I watched it because I'm liking it right now. It's entertainers. It's not as ratchet. Let me tell you something. The enemy does not like marriages. He wants to see people divorced and being lustful because I logged on to Facebook and immediately clicked off when I saw this. Do you see that? Do you see that? Do you see that? Sit down, baby. Sit down, baby. Sit down. That would be Chadwick. Let me tell you something. This y'all, sorry, y'all. He's pushing me all around. When I saw that, I immediately clicked out of, well, I took in about 10 seconds. I took in about 10 seconds at the landscape and then I have to click out of that man. It's so fine. It is an overcast out here. The weather, I think it's going to start storming soon and it's been storming. My coworker says I'm hailing in her side of the town and she's on the east valley of Phoenix. It's going to start storming. Yeah. It's been getting darker stuff, but I just had my dinner early because I need to start eating early. Once I drop JB off to school in the morning, I'm going to walk. I did a HIIT exercise yesterday, which is why I'm taking a break today. I heard that you're really not supposed to do a HIIT exercise every day. I don't know why this music here is so loud. Y'all met Wanwan. One of you help us told me about Aussie having new products, but look at this by Suave. 147 hair mask. Oh yeah. I'm about to get a couple of these. Why is this music so loud? I don't get it. I don't see. This is the Aussie line, but you know what I saw and I want to try, but it's too small. Look at these hair masks. We're going to your fruities. One minute, but I wouldn't eat one of these and I don't feel like paying $6 for that right now. Hey, y'all. My days are just jacked. I'm so jacked up that the last three or four days, I've just been, I don't know. I just, I'm not together. I don't have it together. And that's very rare for Ms. Jackson, excuse me, Mrs. Denza, to not have it together. Oh, girl, get to the point. I miss JB's teacher's conference, parent teacher conference this morning. I mean, y'all see me. I'm all dressed up and shit. I get there rushing JB and I missed it. Like, for some reason, I thought it was at 940. Girl, it ended at 940. It started at 920. Oh my God. So she was very understanding. She's like, well, why don't you come back at one? I have availability. I'm like, cool. Done. Checked my calendar. I'm like, I have another meeting at one, but I'm going to postpone that meeting to go to this parent teacher conference because yeah, just all over the place. I have a meeting actually in 30 minutes, so I need to haul ass home at Walmart because I have to get some more water. Let me put this on here, y'all. I just got out of a meeting with my co-worker. I love working with my co-worker and I've told her this before a couple of months ago actually. And if you work with someone who makes you feel a certain way and you get along, let them know that, you know, we're friends outside of work, really. We don't meet up a lot, but I've gone out to dinner with her and her husband before, but what's the point? I let her know that I really do enjoy working with you. It's nice to work with someone who has your back and know it's never going to try to throw you under the rug. But let me tell you how God works because I really do think that God places people together in certain situations. Let me tell you how great my God is or our God is. We used to work for the same organization at one point and we were in similar roles. We actually know people who, we know people who work, you know, at Apollo Group basically that owns University of Phoenix and WIU. It's called Apollo Group. Anyway, to the point to where I was going through documentation where she used to work there and I saw her name on rosters. So anyway, I told her, I said, once we started working, I said, did you used to work for Apollo Group? She said, yes. I said, I saw your name on old documentation. It's just like, that is so funny. So we've been working together for six years. She been with the company for 10 years and I always want to talk about this because we just got out of a meeting and we just, we vibe well together and it's good to work with people who are like that. We spend a good 30 minutes just kicking it up and just talking, talking about people we used to work with and just catching up and um, now I'm about to catch up into these cinnamon rolls, girl. I made some cinnamon rolls. Let me get the icing, y'all. I used to be so greedy. Nothing, I'm not, I'm not as greedy as I used to be, but I used to be so greedy that I would make my own caramel sauce from scratch. I will mix it with the one that comes with this. I will pour it on top, but I'm not done. Then I will sprinkle some nuts on top, cinnamon at home. I want to tell y'all, oh, let me show y'all what I bought from Walmart. Hold on. I don't know what I'm talking so loud. And I'll show y'all what I'm cooking later on. I'm making hot wings, greens, my husband's coming back, potatoes and corn. Let me show you what I bought. I'm going to review on this. Swab has new packages. I couldn't help it, y'all. Almond and shea butter, deep conditioning and coconut milk, deep conditioning mask. I'm going to do one on this side, one on this side. So you guys, these are the, the fabric I picked up from Walmart. Let me show you all the one I got. Stop it, baby. Got this nice pattern, polka dot one, maroon, blue and this gray stripe. Now, what these are, are basically, um, like fabric swatches, not really yet. Kind of sorta. Yeah. Those fabric squares, they only sell for like 97, 96 cents. And so I have one, two, three. So even though I have, hold on, baby, even though I have five here, I'm going to make about seven of them. So example, I'm going to pair up this polka dot one and blue one to make one. I'm also going to pair up this pattern and this blue baby. I'm going to pair up this pattern and a blue one to make another one. So I could make about, like I said, about seven or eight out of this. And then I'm going to, this is going to be no sew, by the way. I'm going to be making, um, using these clips and super glue the clip on the back. Hey, y'all. So these are all the ties, the bow ties I did. Um, and I'm linking, you need to hush, baby. I'll be linking below the video I looked at to do it. Um, I mean, these are very simple, but, um, they all look fairly different because I freehand some of them. Like this right here is a little skinnier. I need to cut some more of this back off. This right here is a little bit skinnier. Whereas, you know, some of these are wider, like see how wide this one is. And by freehanded meaning that I basically just took the fabric, gathered it up and just pinched it and put the bow on top. Some of these I'm going to go back and sew so that it'll make it a little bit, um, I don't know, a little bit tighter in my opinion. This right here is my favorite one. It looks, it looks to me this, um, he said that he likes this one. Girls. Okay. So I'm going to show y'all what it looks like on next, in the shirt. So yeah, I have to go back and make that a little bit better like that. I like this one. And what I did is I purchased some of these clips like this, two or three dollars and just glued it on the back like this. So that literally we'll just clip in like that. Isn't that cute y'all? So all of this together cost me seven or eight bucks. And we got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight bows. Hey, I'm in my closet trying to figure out what I'm going to wear. We're going to go out to eat on Saturday and hold on y'all. And I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to wear Sunday for church. I already got that figured out. The temperature has dropped y'all. So it's a little chilly. I think I'm going to wear, excuse me, asthma is acting up. You hear that way? Is it, you see this cardigan? Isn't this cute? This cute little lip print cardigan. But then I'm going to pair it with these, um, tights. These t-shirt looking, you see that? That'll be cute, huh? I've worn these once before and my boots. And then I just picked up a simple dress for, um, Sunday. But yeah, y'all, I was talking to my best friend. Whenever I, I need just, she's my best friend for a reason. So I was telling her, I'm like, you know, this is our first time going out and like two months going off to eat. I don't even think it's been that long, but it's been out. It felt like it's been a while, but I told her, I said, I want to avoid those sugary drinks. So what do you do, you know, when you want to go out and have a drink? She stated that, which makes, which is really good advice, but I don't think I'm going to do it only because she said that she makes herself a drink at home so that she can control what's in it. Basically can control the sugar. And then when she's out, she has like wine glass and wine and that's it. So it's not like, you know, she just wants to get a little buzz. She starts off at home and then finish off afterwards. You want some more? Okay, baby. I gather. Go ahead, child. Sorry, y'all, before I was rudely interrupted. Look, yeah, I'm going to have to go and get some new glasses soon. I try to get glasses every two years. These glasses are about two years old. And I like these glasses because they kind of look like Tiffany glasses. These glasses or my Versace glasses, you guys typically see me wear these a lot. The red ones. And then I have another pair back here. These black ones. Anyway, I'm going to show you all my glasses, but girl, I'm toying back and forth whether or not I want to do that because I literally have two boxes of contact love for the entire year. Now, if you're familiar with your eye insurance, you can only use it for contacts or glasses. And when I looked up how much my contacts would cost with my insurance, I can get half a year with a discount code through Lenscrafts. I calculated it came up to the five dollars. Y'all, five dollars as opposed to probably out of pocket for new glasses. It'll be like 150. It's what I'm my budget is going to be about 150 dollars. Um, what's going to say? So I don't know if I told y'all, but my plastic surgery is scheduled for May, mid-May. So girl, yes, I will be snatched by my birthday. My birthday is August 11th. I'm definitely snatched in time for the reunion. I was telling my, my sister that she was like, oh, so you're going to be good and ready by the time your high school reunion comes. I said, yes ma'am. So yeah, May, May 17th is when I scheduled it. And of course, Sigmund came back and said we have, um, what is it? We were approved it between these dates, girl. They're like February to May 19th. It's the window. You have to have it done. And I'm pretty sure if I wouldn't schedule it in between the afternoon, the entire process over again. So yeah, when it hadn't gotten there, but one of the things I want to do, I believe in thanking people, especially when they helped me to do something like this. So I've been going to this chiropractor who my husband was also going to mostly, um, two years ago. I've been going to this particular chiropractor often off for two years with last year, me going consistently. So he was always just very understanding, very empathetic. He even wrote me a letter and included a letter in the documentation that I sent to SIGNA, my insurance, basically recommending that I get, um, breast reduction. So anyway, long story short, I'm going to be making him some brownies, the entire office. I'm going to making them, um, a batch of brownies because I know I was given, so I was definitely given that office manager, not necessarily a hard time, but we was going back and forth with the plan of care. All right. So let me show you, I want to cook and you have to ignore the vent, um, to speed up the process with my potatoes. What's that? Oh, I will boil them these and I'm going to pop these into the oven. I'm going to drink with olive oil, I have onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasonings, and I'm going to bake these at 375, about 25 minutes. Um, along with that, I have some chicken wings here, not chicken wings, drumettes. Um, I made a sauce here of ketchup, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, a little bit of butter, mostly olive oil.
