It is often hard to move into a new chapter in your life when the previous is still ‘To be Continued’ In order for us to move forward and fully receive life’s bountiful rewards in return we have to let go. Let go of what? you may say, well my response to that is: You tell me?

What is it that you still waste your energy on? You have to release because no matter how bad or how good your life is there is still much more out there for you and why? Because you are a living being who deserves more. You don’t need no explanations!

All you have to do is want more for yourself and it will come. When you find yourself still angry, hurt, annoyed or bothered by someone or something then guess what? They have won! yep, they have the power. This is because whether they realise it or not you still remain to be affected by them.

Making sure we are constantly reviewing ourselves is important to make sure we are not carrying any unnecessary emotional baggage of any kind.

It may be something small like not talking to someone because of something. It may be the promotion you feel you are overdue for. It may even be something major like past neglect or abuse. Whatever it is that is sucking the energy you need for your next chapter you have to release it.

We waste time by living in the past constantly thinking of unnecessary things. Whats done is done. It’s spilt milk move on. Release your past and be happy. Whether good or bad everything thus far has made you into the person you are. Don’t hold on to negative things de-stress and let go. Damn if it is that bad go to counselling don’t be ashamed. Do whatever you need to do to prepare you for your future.

Don’t be disillusioned it is not only negative pulls from the past that can bring you to a hault. Dwelling on past victories and achievements can also be risky. Why? Because its old news all that remembering isn’t bringing you closer to anything new. Its already happened and you are missing what is happening. You have to live in the moment and keep moving

Release your past to embrace your future!

….Not many of us do and we often underestimate the importance of sleep. Did you know our skin makes more new skin cells while we sleep rather than while we are awake? That’s right BabyDolls if you wanna maintain your silky smooth baby face you better make sure your getting your daily 8! When your skin is unable to replace old skin cells it begins to crack and loses flexibility. Yep that’s right you start to look raggady! So keep those skin cells in check make sure you are try to maintain a healthy sleeping routine as sleep is essential.

So what’s in your handbag? BabyDolls what are your essentials? Although I hate the term Bag-Lady I suppose it is what it is. From the age of 2 I had a mini bag on my arm to match my lil outfit even though all it probably contained was my dummy because we were inseparable, ( I know, I know blame my mom she loves bags too.) So fast forward a few years and now here we have QueenB.D’s essential contents of her handbag

• Blackberry Peal
• Handcream
• Mini Makeup bag ( Containing MAC Lip gloss, Blush, Mascara, Eye liner & Lip Liner and MAC Cranberry Eyeshadow)
• Anti Bacterial Hand Gel ( I have a thing about germs)
• Tissues
• Hairbrush
• Mini Mirror
• Perfume

So what are your can’t leave my house squeeze into my handbag essentials, I’m interested to know and fellas if you pack a man bag don’t hesitate to mention also.

BabyDolls what do you want from life? Ask yourself what is it you truely want. It’s your life, you predict your future so aim high and dream Big! You have to want more, so much more. It’s crazy because those that know me think I’m crazy…Bananas! And why because my dreams are big my aims are high and there is absolutely nothing in this world to stop me. I shall achieve everything I plan to, everything is in due time. However its the steps you are taking ‘within the mean time’ that determine exactly where you wanna be at and how bad in which you want things. You know, the main thing I dislike in people is lack of ambition. If someone has lack of ambition then that’s a wrap for me. Only you can motivate yourself. I love people who not only have dreams and goals, but are taking steps in which to make there dreams a reality. Cause BabyDolls dreaming is simply not enough. You have to reach for things. I happened to write this post today because I seen an old colleague who to me is just a lost soul chasing someone else’s dream which made me think why is it that not many people want more for themselves. Oh my goodness there is so much out there in this world you just have to tap into it!! Write down all the things you want from life whether small or large. Then create bullet points to how you can achieve them. Please BabyDolls dream big and do more with your life Nothing is stopping you don’t ever let anyone tell you that! Create your own success don’t be apart of someone else’s!!

Everything has an art, even Wine Sipping “Did you know” that there is an actual art in which to hold your wine glass? Well maybe you did but just in case you didn’t QueenB.D is about to tell you once again.

There are three main sectors to the wine glass:

• The glass rim
• The bowl
• The stem

Although a comfort zone never hold your wine glass by the bowl, this shows total ignorance. A wine glass should always be held by the stem. The reason for this is so you do not disturb the temperature of the wine and you also refrain from placing any unsightly fingerprints on your glass. The change in temperature can impact the taste so avoid heating it up with your hands. Try not to over swill and avoid filling your glass higher than two thirds a time. As you may already know, Red Wine is to be served just below average room temperature and serve all White Wines chilled. So to conclude BabyDolls always remember to hold your glass by the stem.

Two things more valuable than money in this day and age is Time and more Time. People are always complaining of not having enough time. being in a rush and so forth. Time is money, so what can you do to make your day most productive?

Start you day of right!

How do you start your day off? You do know that the beginning could be the end so start it off right. Ever had a bad morning and its followed its way through? Well that’s what I mean. I normally start my day off with meditation lets keep it fresh, I don’t sit with candles and incense burning chanting “hum rey yum” I don’t have time for that I just take 5-10 minutes in silence just to be still and think, sometimes I think of tasks I wish to complete and then I take time to show gratitude. I actually find when I don’t do this, the rest of the day I’m running around like an unorganised headless chicken. Most of us really underestimate the power of just sitting and being still for a while. Being still really helps to clear your thoughts……

So ….Book a date with yourself!

Regardless of the time of the day, have 10-20 minutes just to sit and think, if you want to jot down notes of things you have to do then do that. This will help you to focus, you will have time to concentrate and remember all tasks you wish to complete and ways in which to do so. Therefore in action you will be most productive, already having run through your tasks.

Everyone has a peek time within there day. You know a time where you find your self most active, most enthusiastic etc. Are you a morning person? An afternoon person? An evening person? Which ever you identify with, do your most important tasks within this period while you are switched on and ready to go. Doing them at your peek points and not your tedeious will make the most difficult tasks easier to bear.

Cancel Interruptions!

This especially applies to those that work at home, if you have been working all day (whether office or home) have a small gateway period where the phone is plugged out mobiles switched off do not check your email just chill. Break off for a moment and do you. Avoid prolonging this for too long (you don’t want people to be worry about you lol.)

Most of all Have a Purpose for your day

Try to get something from each day. Make sure you do one great thing each day no matter how big or small just great.

Lastly….Laugh!

Have fun with your day keep it funky. Be realistic stuff happens and the slightest thing can put a damper on your day but you are the only one in control of your emotions, so regardless of the exterior impacts or people around you make sure your smiling keep your spirits up and things will turn out fine. Things never seem so bad when your smiling and when your having fun the day goes quicker. Ask yourself do you see your glass half empty or Half full

See I started with asking what can you do to make your day most productive, but what you have to understand is in order to be most productive your personal self awareness and well-being has to be in check. So when asking about being most productive its really about self management rather than task management. As long as your head is clear, you will find most other things in life follow through.

I hope this helps. QueenB.D

Ok So we all supported and watched the overrated Sex and The City movie, but a movie I would really like to see is a Girlfriends movie. I think they should do a major one! Hell even bring Toni back for the reunion. I know there was rumours that a movie was in discussion, but forget discussing it. It’s time to get filming it! It’s bad enough that we had to wait so long for the box sets. I think they really underestimate how many people actually love and enjoy the Girlfriends TV Show. I am sure if it was at the cinemas many of us would go to see it, BabyDolls what do you think?

With the ever growing epidemic of shoppaholics (and yes I admit that I am one) I thought I would do a good deed and allow us to confide together. I am sure everyone loves to shop but when does shopping become an obsession and would you say it is healthy. I know us ladies like to use the excuse retail therapy (well I do anyway) but when does therapy become addiction. Although people shop to make themselves feel better, the emotional attachments can also sometimes be dangerous. For example when I am sad I shop, when im happy I shop, etc etc. However I have no children & no major commitments, no credit cards (except a pre-paid one) I make good money, I save so therefore I kind of feel saved from the monster of debt.

However, I know no one is untouchable! Plus I live, work and go to uni in the city so I constantly find my self buying things on the way home which is a dangerous habit to develop. I’m not sure about in the US but in the UK many people are feeling the crunch with the constant changes to the economy and more and more people are in debt. With constant programmes like Shopaholics & Spendaholics always on TV people are no longer even scared of being the in debt its just becoming the norm and this is where the problem lies. According to my friend and her debt “f%$* it life’s to short if it gets bad ill just go on Spendaholics or something and make them deal with it”

??????????? What, come again? I could not believe it, This is the wrong attitude to have. You have to think about the future and the consequences that may not be present at this moment. I hope not all think like this please do not end up in that state of mind. Below is some tips, to help you stay fab but shop wise:

1. Always pay by cash, if you have a card don’t use it.
2. Make a shopping list and stick to it…..well try to anyway
3. Save first then shop, I apologise that should have been first
4. Avoid shopping from catalogs, always pay upfront and whole and never in installments
5. Also lose the big pride who-har if you cant afford something you cant afford it put it down until you can. “Money is nothing for he who cant save“. Remember that! Because if you dont save its no good having it cause soon it will be gone.

I hope this helps QueenB.D xoxoxo

I was asked a question the other day from a friend I rate fairly close. She had told me her boyfriend had been cheating on her and she was obviously distraught. I felt for her, as per usual it was another case of beautiful girl, dumb guy but then she asked me what would you do with a cheat? I was kinda taken aback, I thought I’d only have to comfort her and not answer any questions, but when I thought about it, it got me thinking, what the hell do you do when you catch your man cheating ???? I have dealt with bad break-ups, guys acting shading and the usual BS some guys bring but I have never dealt with a cheat. So I told her like it is.

I know your hurting, I know you cant stop thinking about it at this moment, but what you need to do, is go home put on your favourite song drink a glass of wine or champagne, take a bath relax, read, watch tv, dance in your bed room in your underwear lol. Do whatever you need to do to know that your a Queen and he was a tramp. I told her Be Glad !

Don’t be mad just be glad you no-longer have to deal with him, be glad it wasn’t even longer down the line, be glad that as a result of his actions you have almost been released, your free of him. You now have the oppourtunity to find what you truly deserve because he obviously was not the one and your king is still out there! Don’t be sad just continue and guess what things will be OK x

I posted this because I hope this not only helped my friend but I hope this post also helped anyone else that might be going through what she was going through. If you ever have a problem share it and ill see if I can help. You know where I am…

So with university drawing to an end for the year, and the roller coaster ride I have already had to the start of this year, it would be accurate in me saying I am due for my holiday! That’s right here I come for my shopping, indulging and revitalisation. But let’s not stop there, what about the overall experience every BabyDoll should travel in first class at least once in a while if not at all times. However, I understand that not everybody has it like that , and when there is a will there is a way and best believe there are ways and means to doing everything. If you can afford to splurge, book that first class seat, it’s not like you don’t deserve it. Not everyone wants to be sitting in the carriage with someone snoring loud, the sneezing passenger a few rows down or the crying baby at the back. However, the art of being a BabyDoll is being clever with your money so if you don’t have it like that don’t purchase a first class flight to be sitting in here looking broke because you have blown your earnings. Be sensible!

So you ask, Queen.B.D. How do I get myself into first class? And I say, BabyDolls its simple there are few strict rules you should follow, in order for you to blag yourself that first class seat.

1. Arrive early! The later you leave it the less chance you will have an available seat. I’ve heard many people say it’s best to arrive as late as possible so they have to bump you to first class but as far as im concerned this is a dumb move more like more chance for them to tell you, you have to take a later flight because they don’t have to bump you anything.

2. Travel alone , they are not going to give you, Krista, Charmaine and Tammy an upgrade, either meet your friends at your destination or ride with your friends for a change

3. Dress the part! Your trying to be up in first class the least you can do is look the part . Contrary to belief not everyone in first class is all glammed out with wide sunglasses and bling, they look more casual and ready for a flight, dress smart, dress tidy look be confident and pleasant.

4. Your attitude, or should I say lack of it. Be nice, be confident and confidently ask for your upgrade. Notice I say your upgrade . It’s not rocket science; the worst they can say is there are no more available. However be discreet about it (*not in a shady way) If your talking at the top of your voice, and bragging that you just got an upgrade then guess what, everyone else is going to want one. So keep it on the low. Don’t make them feel like they have made a mistake. When you get it say thanks be nice and enjoy your flight . Oh and always be nice to the gate attendant, they have a lot of power to you know
