Happy Mother’s Day! How Moms Can Find Time for Themselves

Getting to Bliss starting today!

Motherhood is a rewarding thing. You can have a sense of fulfillment and experience feelings of joy as you take an active role in raising your children to be loving, responsible, and honest individuals. It is also fraught with its share of challenges. By the end of a day of non-stop action, you may very well be screaming for some real “me” time.

‘Brand’ New Mommy!

Let’s be real – it’s not easy to live your best when reality smacks you in the face each day. Recently, I heard Pastor Miriam Niles, keynote speaker at the Girl Talk Unplugged conference say, “You insanity is your power when you give it a voice to be heard; the feelings you hide are truly what you feel.”

How Many Is Enough … ‘Folks’ getting the “procedure?”

Kindred the Family Soul

How many kids do you have? I have two (12 and 4) and they keep me running and let’s not forget the expense.

If you had six children would you suggest to your man/partner/hubby to get a Vasectomy?

My favorite soulful family, Kindred The Family Soul, talks REAL life decisions.

Watch the Dantzler family manage family, career, bills, life, performance, branding, and a vasectomy.

Hmmm… Let me know your thoughts?

This winter is truly the season for dry and unpredictable skin. I’ve learned that diet and ample water contributes more to beautiful skin than pricing and ingredients. So, how do you know what product is best to banish dry skin? Simple – trial and error.

I received the Anti Aging Dermagist Complete Rejuvenation System from Dermagist and took the time to sample on my skin for three months and the outcome was — all in the video.

NOTE: I would not recommend or suggest a product if it does not yield satisfactory results for me.

Yahoo CEO: Reversing the Mommy Movement

Marissa Mayer

‘Brand’ New Moms: We can’t always compete with our male counterpart and that’s okay.

I really had to noodle on Yahoo CEO comment last week because its simple – she does not get it. Marissa Mayer wants to compete at every level however not possible. As an entrepreneur, working stay-at-home, my work day starts earlier, ends late and is productive. No luxury here – gotta work with what I have to get the job done. Here is an article from Mommyish.com about Ms. Mayer’s latest mommy move.

Ever since the Yahoo CEO announced her pregnancy, she became the reluctant poster-woman of working motherhood. If she could run a multi-billion dollar company while pregnant, it theoretically opened many doors for working mothers everywhere. Continue reading article on Mommyish.com.
