Change your Life, come with me on this Journey.



Good morning everyone, or whatever time it might be when you're reading this, I want to start by saying if you're currently in a hard place I know we've all been there.  You all know that Barnes & Noble is one of my favorite places in the world, anywhere with an abundance of books and different opinions sets my soul on fire.  I can live without many things but I cannot live without a good book.  I own over a 100 different Ibooks, several books on Nook and I can't even count just how many actual books I own and how many I have loaned out or given away, I love books!!  On several different occasions I went into Barnes and Noble and picked up Diane Von Furstenberg's new book and put it back down, I finally decided to buy it.

#GIRLBOSS is an awesome read!!!



Bag - H&M
Book - Girl Boss by Sophia Amoruso
Magazine - Fast Company

Ok so my friend Carlington was kind enough to give me this book after I begged him over and over again for it.  Within the first three or four pages I was about to give up on it as another rich person writing about how they became successful through hard work, and the usual trial and error stories we've all heard a million times.

But then the book flipped on me and the story changed, here is a super successful person telling us that she used to eat food from the garbage and used to steal from stores.  She was so raw and real it makes me feel like hey maybe I could be a brilliant success one day.  I have not finished reading this book but I'm half way through it and trust me it keeps getting better.  If you're one of those women who are on the road to becoming successful then go pick up this book.

Next great find is this magazine that I have in my possession totally by accident.  It's not a fashion magazine, I don't really read a lot of those anymore, only every now and again.  This magazine has useful information about start up companies, creative people, inspiring celebs who are making serious changes, and all the other good stuff I love.

And my bag this week is this cute little thing I picked up in H&M that fits my phone, wallet, lip stick and my hand lotion, perfect for my on the go lifestyle.

Dam Good Advise, Current book Im reading and Hand Bag




Book - Dam Good Advice (for people with talent) By George Lois
Hand Bag - Aldo
Sunnies - $5 from Kroger 
This Months Raffle Giveaway - The Writing Circle , a novel


 Hi everyone so I finally finished reading the last book  I was reading and what a fucking amazing BOOK!!!!!!! I have never read a book that with so many view points. The story was being told through the eyes of about 5 different people, the characters were also more mature than we're used to in novels. It's an interesting story with an unlikely group of people and an ending we didn't see coming, and I will be giving it away since it is in Mint condition and I am finished reading it. A number of persons entered my Scavenger hunt last month I will be putting all the names of the persons who entered in a hat  and one lucky person will win this book.

The book I'm about to start reading has me all excited to be honest the name of the book is what pulled me in, I got some coupons in the mail from Barnes and Noble and I literally skipped over there and picked up this gem, I can't wait to dive in.

My handbag is very practical as always, its from Aldo  and I can carry it on my shudders or cross body depending on how I feel. I'm in  love with this bag the girls in the store helped me pick and at first I didn't like it, But now I really, really love it.

See you guys in my next Post lots of love and positivity.
