The Golden Rule
Heeeeey :) Tonight I just wanted to talk about something that has been on my mind as of recently and something I feel that almost anyone can relate to: The Golden Rule (Gabi-style)! So I’m sure everyone knows what The Golden Rule states: “Treat others how you want to be treated” but what exactly does that look like? How can you and I practice this on a daily basis?! Well, I can...
Knocked Down but Got Right Back Up
Hey ya’ll….okay so, it’s confession time: I messed up! Yep….I did…as easy as I thought my 28-day challenge was, I did a crash-and-burn last night hanging out with my friend girls. Let me tell you what happened though. So, one of my friends recently graduated with an associate’s degree (yaaaay! whoop! whoop!) and I came up with the fun idea for us to get...
Now that I got that outta the way.....
Hey ya’ll :) Well guess what??! I conquered week one….yes, this chocolate-eating, bread-loving, Southerner has completed week one…now approximately 3 more weeks to go! Yay! I have not had sugar nor bread nor sweets nor meat nor dairy at all..besides like the natural sugar in fruit (which doesn’t count!). wait…wait! Let me be completely honest…I did have like...
Turtle vs. The Hare
Hey ya’ll….apparently I feel like expressing myself tonight being that this is my second blog of the day…woo yeah :D Basically, I wanted to talk about something other than food and hair (my main obsessions….lol not really!) and that is my accomplishments! Well basically, I recently graduated (5 months ago) and now I’m working at a gym…………

New Recipes I have tried
1) Black Bean and Corn Vegetarian Chili
-Sooooo good…It almost tastes like the chili I used to get from Wendy’s (not exaggerating!!!)..I had 2 big helpings for lunch the other day :/…not Wendy’s but my own homemade chili :)
2) Guacamole Dip and Black Tortilla Chips
-Chips were an A+…the guac not so much….I thought it would be similar to spinach and artichoke...
3-Day Update
Hey ya’ll :) Just wanted to give a brief update on my 28-day challenge…it’s day THREE and I am still hanging in there! It hasn’t been THAT hard actually…funny story: the first day I woke up thinking about Oatmeal Creme Pies ha…I love those things….if I could eat those and chocolate for dessert for the rest of my life, I would. But I tried a new recipe:...
Pre-challenge Day
Sooo I told ya’ll I would go into more details about my challenge. Basically for the next couple weeks, I will be eating everything as natural as possible. No meats, sweets, breads, and dairy (well…..maybe a little dairy)! I’ve already found a few recipes and broke them off into categories of soups, salads, snacks, aaaaand…my favorite category…SMOOTHIES! ...
iUNPROCESSED
Hey ya’ll :D So just a few updates on me and my life….first of all, let me start off with the whole natural hair! This week has been craaaazy….yesterday, I literally woke up at 7:30 and didn’t stop til 12:30 last night….I’ve barely been at home and when I was at home, I had to go right back out so, in turn, my hair routine suffered...

My Baby Stages
Hi everyone! This weekend I experienced something new, different, and fun. I went to my first “Naturals BBQ” (for lack of a better term). Basically, it was a naturals group from where I could draw advice, help, and support as I am a baby in this natural process. Some people think that being natural is just an African-American thing but technically that’s not the case. Even...

Vegetarian Lifestyle!
Hey guys….for those of you who didn’t know, I’m a vegetarian…more specifically, a pescotarian. January of last year, I decided to give up meat entirely! If you’re thinking “I can’t do that!”, get that out of your head because, you can!!! Before I became a vegetarian, I used to be the type of girl who thought I needed meat at every meal: sausage...

The new natural me :) Yep! After about 15 years of the creamy crack, I chopped it all off. Yes..I am no longer a creamy crackhead. My hair has NEVER EVER been this short (besides when I first born but that...
