tea & turkey !

One of the best things about working from home is now being able to blog whenever I want. So... as always, I’m tryna find ways to better my health and change my horrible habits. I have jumped on the green tea train! The benefits made me!

- Contains Various Bioactive Compounds That Can Improve Health
- Increases Fat Burning and Improves Physical Performance
- Antioxidants in Green Tea May Lower Your Risk of Various Types of Cancer
- Can Kill Bacteria, Which Improves Dental Health and Lowers Your Risk of Infection
- Can Help You Lose Weight and Lower Your Risk of Becoming Obese
PLUS SO MUCH MORE.

Leftover turkey? My favourite thing about cooking a turkey is making sandwiches and soup with the left over’s! I just happen to be obsessed with sandwiches and wraps. Thought I’d share one I made:

- Bun/bread/wrap/bagel/ whatever bread you like.
- Heated leftover turkey.
- Tomato, onion, lettuce, cheese
- Mayo, gravy, mustard, butter
Slap it all together for something easy, quick, and delicious.

MERRY CHRISTMAS..... EVE!

Merry Christmas... Eve! My family has never really been big on holiday celebrations. We typically do it all for the kids, have some drinks, and call it a night. This year will be no different. I guess the only big change is having my boyfriend around. Luckily he’s pretty much the exact same as me but male form. When we initially were thinking about Christmas plans we both were like fuck it. Let’s get some pizza and marathon a TV show. But here came Christmas eve and I felt like actually cooking.

Turkey, pasta salad, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and croissants. As easy as it comes! After 4 hours of cooking my BF wakes up commenting on how good it smells followed by “I thought we were getting pizza” lol. Of course he appreciated the time and effort into coking but in the end, I should have just went with pizza cause you know, by the time you’re done cooking.. you barely feel like eating! After all that I ended up with a headache and falling asleep for the rest of the day as he left to go to his mother’s house. I would have joined but my nieces want me at their house for Christmas and I cannot say no to my babies.

I’m probably the worst with gifts. I never expect them and actually tell people don’t bother. After me talking about buying a ninja blender forever my boyfriend surprised me with one (I guess he does listen after all.) plus candles. THIS BOY KNOWS THE WAY TO MY HEART SO WELL! He did so well too because they smell amazing! But he’ll be back come the 27th and we’ll celebrate our way... Tacos + movies

I did have some last minute wrapping to do. Who likes wrapping gifts? ANYONE? Next year I’m buying all gift bags. Fuck this wrapping shit. Losing the tape every few minutes. Scissors just walking away... and a pile of pens being around you but STILL when it’s time to write, none in sight. Well.. everything is done and my carts full of gifts ready to bring to my babies tomorrow and spend the day probably playing games, doing karaoke and whatever else their heart desires!


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Back..... lets pretend i never left ;)

It feels good to sit here staring at a blank page knowing that I’m about to be able to get everything I’ve held in or that’s on my mind finally out. BUT, I’ve been sitting here for over 20 minutes contemplating if it even makes sense to revisit everything that’s happened over the past…. Almost two years. I honestly had no Idea that it’s even been that long and I can’t even remember what it was that made me stop. I won’t go into detail, maybe I will as I get back into the swing of blogging. You know, maybe certain stories will need to be told. Let’s just say that my life completely fell apart. In every way possible.. health, relationship, family, friends... EVERYTHING. But guess what? I survived. There were moments when I felt I couldn’t pick myself up. Where I thought this is it. I can’t do it anymore. Have you ever felt the feeling that breathing alone made it feel like your chest was caving in. That your heart was aching so bad death seemed like the only option? That living just wasn’t worth it anymore. I was sucked into that deep hole for far too long but again, I SURVIVED and now I feel like I’m stronger than ever. Everything has falling into place and I’m more happy than I ever remember being. Briana told me “sometimes you have to go through things to come out better in the end." Boy was she right!

Anyways, like I said. Not gonna hash up all the negative that is OVER and done with. I realized only that my camera memory cards slot is corrupted or some bullshit so once I get that fix I’m almost 100% sure that I will be starting another project 365. Especially since it’s a new camera and I haven’t touched it since I got it (crazy right). I’m team canon now BTW ;). For now, you have to deal with the shitty cell phone pictures. I’m still same old Keyshia battling the fact that I’m a fatty who loves pizza more than anything…. EVER. As always I’m on and off with eating healthy and it just so happens that right now I’m on.

Caesar salad minus croutons and not because its carbs but because I don’t have any! Lol. I’m in love with Caesar salad because I’m so simple when it comes to salad. Lettuce.....that’s it pretty much LOL anything else I’ll end up picking out and leaving to the side… unless it’s cheese of course. Over seasoned chicken AWLAYS though. Who wants dry... bland... unseasoned chicken…. No sir, not me.
