Create the life YOU want

I claimed this year (2017) to be the year to take actions/initiatives on the things that I want to accomplish in life, so far the past few months have been eye opening. I have been learning a lot, mostly about myself and I have come to the realization that I cannot do anything without God, I have been praying and my prayers are being answered. I am getting the guidance that I have been asking for and most importantly the courage and motivation to start accomplishing my goals. I’m a big dreamer and always have great ideas that I want to bring to life but too afraid of failing; it’s time to change that. This post here is just to give someone in need a boost, some of these advice/tips (from books, and videos) listed below may be things you’ve heard over and over before but sometimes we need that refresher. I hope you find this blog helpful and share it with someone else  :).

• Only You can bring your imaginations to life
• Never change yourself trying to be perfect for others
• Choose happiness
• You never know what doors will open until you take chances
• Self acceptance can only followed by self-improvement
• Rich people think BIG, poor people think SMALL
• If you think like a poor person, you’re always going to be poor
• change your mindset
• PRAY
• Believe that you CAN do it
• You can achieve anything you put your mind into
• Find something you’re good at and make it work

I Am Fabulous Jih

WOW! It has been two years since I posted on this blog. Life happened! from time to time I will have the drive for something and then eventually life’s events take place and suddenly there’s just not enough time in a day to do anything. It’s 2019, and in the beginning of the year (February) I decided that I was going to get back on my Youtube channel and I did just that. That’s an accomplishment and I’m proud that I held myself accountable to post content weekly (mostly).

Fast forward to now (October), I have been home for the last two months. I Made the decision to resign from my position as a Private School Teacher and Aftercare Coordinator because it was time to move on and venture out to new things and focus on obtaining my masters. Finding a new job haven’t been easy but I am maintaining in the meantime (no pressure yet). All the free time that I have now, I have been feeling more motivated to get back to doing the things that make me happy (traveling, writing, being creative) and so I remembered this website (WordPress) that I’ve had since 2015. Going through my old entries brought back memories and encouraged me to write this post.

This may be the beginning of something new (Again!), it’s never too late to start over or pick up where you left off. In my case I guess I can say that I’m picking up where  I left off.

Here’s some contents I have created from February until now –

Support Your Friends Series (SYFS), This idea was inspired from my friend who started a podcast called Dis Tew Much in January of this year. I was amazed at how I have many friends who were stepping outside of their comfort zones and starting businesses so that gave me an idea to start SYFS. I use Support Your Friends two ways: on instagram(@supportyourfriend_) to promote their brand and secondly on Youtube where I sit down with them and interview them about their brand. Check out my Youtube page (Fabulous Jih).

Kp.lust4blush and I recently collaborated to be a guest on my Support Your Friends Series. Kendria is the owner/founder of kp.lust4blush, she’s a makeup artist in the south Florida area, she did a simple purple glam look on me. What I like about Kendria is that she took her time to make sure every products was applied flawlessly. Watch this slay now

Featured on Support Your Friends; is my cousin Jai highness who is owner of Jai Highness Artistry and is an upcoming makeup artist in South Florida. Check out the interview on my Youtube channel! IG: jai_highness_artistry, Booking: jaihighness21@gmail.com Click here to watch the video

I recorded my first Get Ready With Me video, it is lengthy but I spoke about why I started my Youtube channel again and my makeup routine. Check out the video!

I made a quick stop in Haiti in August for the Diner en Blanc that took place in my hometown Cap – Haitien for the first time I really did enjoy myself. I also got to watch my favorite Haitian rapper/ friend TroubleBoy Hitmaker perform in Fort Liberte. Check out the video on my channel. Click here

That’s it for now, I hope you enjoyed reading this post, leave your comment and feedback. Stay tuned for more blog posts.

Have a nice day 😌

Be the best version of YOURSELF❤️

This year..

I just want to live a little more, be more free spirited
Enjoy the sun a little more and leave my comfortable bed
I spend too much time laying down
Feels like I just lock my self up in my room and let the day end
No I’m not depressed, but after a long day of work bed sounds better than everything
It’s not a promise, but little by little
And maybe, just maybe I may take you all on this journey by sharing and spreading some positive energy
“Life’s too short to be nothing but happy”
We’re so use to hearing that but never fully live
& this year I’m ready to LIVE and be the best version of ME
I want to encourage someone to do the same

2017

2017 year of changes
Let this year be the year you take action for the things you’ve been slacking on, changes you’ve been wanting to make in your life, your job, your career, that plan, etc.

Claim it, believe it and most importantly Pray about it

Traveling makes life better

Summer 16′ is one to remember

This summer I traveled to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Hawaii and Boston( home away from home). As usual, I’m always excited about going places but get overwhelmed closer to my trips due to having to pack; but it always get done eventually.

I spent about 3 weeks in Costa Rica, which was an adventure. I met with my friend who’s doing service there and we traveled to Nicaragua and Panama. Spent most of my trip traveling on a bus, by the end of my trip I didn’t want to think or see a bus lol.

Also visited Honolulu, Hawaii, to celebrate my mother’s birthday. It is so beautiful in Hawaii, I wish I had spent more time there to explore. I did get to do one tour, which left me exhausted for about two days – circle island tour 😓.  It took some time for my body to adjust to the time diffence, I was always tired.

In the midst of all of this traveling, I made a quick stop to my second hometown – Boston to celebrate with my friend on her wedding day. Love is an amazing thing, something so beautiful. I wish to experience that feeling someday.

YOU …❤️

  
We met once again, it’s like a holiday; only happens once a year

A holiday that is short lived with happiness almost every time

In your presence I lose myself, I only see you

Thinking about what coulda been, feels so real in the moment

 The minute you walk away you vanish in the wind

Waiting again, time is not moving fast enough

I’m impatient now, I wish you knew 

How much this undefined love is killing me

Every day seems to be more doomed because I only think of you

 wishing that you were thinking of me too

I’m aching now, I can feel the pressure in my heart

Holding back tears, I lose myself again 

Questioning my emotions, have I lost them too?

Shattered cold 

Trying to wrap these thoughts around my head

Should I let go? You’re no good for my heart anyway

Still, I love you and only you

A weekend in Philly

Recently took a trip to Philadelphia for MIA – Made In America Festival. Thank you to my dear friend for the tickets to this event, definitely had a blast! I have never seen so many people, it was over flooded!

My Happy Place

 There’s no place like home, literally the only place I’m always at peace and happy to be surrounded by my family. I usually take the time off to relax, reflect and enjoy the presence of my cousins and aunts. I wish I could spend more time because 10 days was not enough!   
  Beautiful sky, a sunny day makes life so much better. It makes a difference in my day.   
  Handmade bags made with love! 

Ultimate Luxurious Bridal Expo

I was invited to a bridal expo by 2 of my co-workers and I was interested in going so I purchased my ticket. My co-workers aren’t engaged, they just wanted to go for the heck of it. Overall this was a great experience, I got a bag full of business cards and goodies. I can definitely use for future when planning for my wedding. As of now I’ll continue to dream on! ☺️
