Fab Hair

Nowadays, everyone is selling hair. Brazilian this, Malaysian that....be careful where you purchase hair from. If you don't know anything about hair, get with someone who does. Go hair (window) shopping. Feel the texture and quality of the hair. Rub your hands through it to see if it will shred. Check the strength of the weft, make sure the hair strands go from weft to tip.

Good quality virgin extensions can be washed & conditioned, colored (ombre), straightened and more. The quality and texture will always remain the same.

Find fab hair at M2 Hair Boutique. Visit their website at www.m2boutique.com. They carry luxurious, virgin extensions. I've made several purchases from them and I'm satisfied. Check 'em out! Tell them you heard about them from Makeva's blog. ;-)

Your Dreams

Your dreams are your dreams and that's okay. Did you know that God's dreams are not your dreams and his dreams for YOUR life are usually bigger than yours?

On Friday night, I was bored. I started digging in my storage looking for old pictures that I captured of clients when I used to do hair. Yes! I used to do hair in high school and college. I didn't find any of the pictures but I stumbled across my senior memory book. There was a place titled "Dreams & Goals." As I read that section, I was smiling but shocked at the same time. I'm a very ambitious person and I couldn't believe that I didn't/did accomplish those goals that I had listed. I know that God has something better for me. I don't know what THAT may be but I know it's better.

Trying not to sneeze from the dust, the page read, "I want to be an entrepreneur Cosmetologist doing hair AND nails in my own hair salon. The car I will own is an Acura, I will own a three bedroom home and marry and have ONE child. I'm literally laughing out loud. I didn't get an Acura (Yet anyway) Not sure if I even want an Acura anymore. I didn't go to school for Cosmetology. I ended up getting a Bachelor's degree in Criminology and a Master's in Social Work (neither am I using right now nor do I have the desire to do so.) I am an entrepreneur but unsure on my direction. I am married with not ONE but TWO beautiful and smart children.

See!!! God blessed me abundantly. His dreams for me were/are bigger than my own. What I'm trying to figure out now is what road to take; do I go left or right. Prior to me reading that page in my senior memory book, I told my husband I was considering going to hair school BUT I'm not sure what I want to do. I stopped doing hair a long time ago because I wasn't passionate about it. I also stopped doing social work because I started feeling overwhelmed and burned out.

God's dreams for me are bigger than my own and all I can do is pray for his direction and understanding. If anyone is reading this and may be in the same boat, my suggestion is to pray. God knows better than you/I do. Love you lots!!!

Thanks for reading. Peace and blessings :)

Finding Your Niche

Have you ever felt like you don't know what it is you want to do, career wise? Have you found yourself doing things just to make money? I think that's where I am right now. I'm finding my niche. Have you found yours?

Karma

When I speak, I speak from the heart. That's the only thing I know to do. I want to talk about Karma. According to Dictionary.com, karma is defined as action seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad, either in this life or in a reincarnation: in Hinduism one of the means of reaching Brahman. I'm going somewhere with this. For legal purposes I can't share any names but if you get it, you get it. :) More after the break.

It's Saturday!!!

How are you spending your Saturday? Me and the kids are gonna go out for ice cream and do a little shopping. It's a nice day to do something so we're not staying in the house all day.

Saturday is always a good day to run errands, catch a matinee movie, do a little shopping and if you plan on staying home, doing chores around the house are good for Saturdays also.

Make it a great day, weekend and always spread love!!!

If I Had My Way

If I had my way, I know I would be in a different situation. A different place. A different....I guess I've been infatuated with what I see on the outside, not knowing what's going on inside. The very thing we want is that same thing that may not be good for us. What looks good isn't always good. I remember a time where I wanted this certain thing. I mean I wanted this really bad. I used to fantasize about it. I would fantasize about what it would be like if....how would I feel if....what would I wear when....what would I say if asked....I feel like I was obsessed with THAT.

Take Back Your Life

It's 2013!!! It's the year of favor, blessings and success stories. It's time to take back your life. It's time to start working on the things you have asked God for. God will not hand you anything but he will open doors for you to be in a position to get what you asked for. He wants to know that you're willing to work for what you want and not just wait on or expect a handout.

I'm taking back my life starting today. Everything that the enemy meant for my bad, I'm turning in to my good. I'm focusing on me, loving me, putting me first...PERIOD.

Don't invite yourself to a pity party. Get up, move and GET IT!!! It's the year to do something; do something you've never done, do something different, just do something.

God didn't intend for us to live mediocre lives so don't do it. I repeat, don't do it!!! You still have nine more months to accomplish some things. Let's go! DO WORK!!!
