(New Video Post) Self Investment #SelfLoveSaturday

The most important investment you’ll ever make is in yourself!

I’ve always invested in my career but I had to learn to not only invest in my career but also in myself and my overall health and sanity as a person. Everything is connected and important and investing in my happiness ultimately helps my career because I’m not stressed. Investing in my health helps to keep me focused and happy and investing in my sanity helps to give me a balanced life and make me a happier person. You have to invest in yourself by doing whatever it takes to improve your overall quality of life and sometimes that means taking a course to enhance your education or buying new equipment for your career or even starting a hobby so that you can relieve some stress and have a balanced life. Self investment is the most important investment because it’s self love. Happy Self Love Saturday!

(New Music Post) Love Song of The Day – “Happy Valentine’s Day” By Andre 3000

Happy Valentine’s Day guys!

Enjoy this beautiful day of love whether your single or boo’d up, it doesn’t matter because it’s all about love! Go treat your self, enjoy the day and be thankful! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

(New Music Post) Love Song of The Day – “Saving All My Love For You” By Whitney Houston

This is hands down my favorite song from Whitney Houston! This is classic music put with the perfect voice. A couple more days till Valentine’s day, what’s your plans? Treat yourself!


Lyrics 

A few stolen moments is all that we share

You’ve got your family, and they need you there
Though I’ve tried to resist, being last on your list
But no other man’s gonna do
So I’m saving all my love for youIt’s not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
Cause I’d rather be home feeling blue
So I’m saving all my love for youYou used to tell me we’d run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that’s just an old fantasy
I’ve got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
For tonight is the night, for feeling alright
We’ll be making love the whole night through
So I’m saving all my love
Yes I’m saving all my love
Yes I’m saving all my love for youNo other woman, is gonna love you more
Cause tonight is the night, that I’m feeling alright
We’ll be making love the whole night through
So I’m saving all my love
Yeah I’m saving all my love
Yes I’m saving all my love for you
For you, for you

 

 

(New Music Post) Love Song of The Day – “Tell Me If You Want Me To” By Groove Theory

This is hands down my favorite song to cover, I’ve sang this song countless times for so many years and it never gets old for me. It’s just a perfect song, there’s nothing not to love! Enjoy!

Lyrics

I’ve been doing my own thing
Love has always had a way of having bad timing
But to my great surprise
Ever since I looked in your eyes
I had one question for you
chorus
Tell me if you want me too
Give you all my time
I wanna make it good for you
Cause you blow my mind
I promise boy that I’ll be true
You’re the perfect find so
Tell me if you want me to
If you thought I’d sleep on this
Boy, you’re wrong, cause all I dream about is our first kiss
And you’re the first one to make me feel like this
And this is one opportunity that I can’t miss, no, no
Boy, you wanna know the deal
You are wondering if the words I’m saying are for real
Cause you got more appeal
Than any man in this whole world
And baby
I got to know how you feel
chorus
Sweetheart
Now it’s time to let you know
I don’t wanna rush
We should take it slow
Boy, I can love you
Can you help me grow
Give me a new beginning
I’ll give you a happy ending
chorus

(New Music Post) Love Song of The Day – “Caught in a Rapture” by Anita Baker

Fun fact about me: When I was a kid I had a very serious obsession with Anita Baker, I wanted to sing like her, make music like her and just be her lol. I was so obsessed with her as an artist that I had a big showcase in my early teens with her manager in the hopes that he’d represent me and I only sang Whitney Houston and Anita Baker songs! I’ve always been an old soul lol and I’ve always admired the best. Today’s love song is “Caught in a rapture” by the brilliant Anita Baker.


Lyrics

When we met, always knew
I would feel the magic for you
On my mind constantly
In my arms is where you should be

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time

[Chorus 1:]
Caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you

We stand side by side
Till the storms of life pass us by
Light my life, warm my heart
Say tonight will be just the start

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time

[Chorus 2:]
Caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
The feeling’s always new
Caught up in the rapture of you

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time

[Chorus 2]

Caught up in the rapture of love
Caught up in the rapture of love

(New Video Post) Start A Gratitude Journal #SelfLoveSaturday

Hey guys, Happy Self Love Saturday!

I’m putting out a new challenge to you guys to help you find a little self love during the month of love, and it is to start  ” A Gratitude Journal”. It’s simple all you have to do is write down one thing that you’re grateful for every single day, it could be anything at all, the simpler the better. Expressing gratitude is one of the easiest ways to feel better about yourself, your life and who you are as a person which is all ultimately self love! I’m going to be doing this every day for the rest of the month and I suggest that you do to and just see how great you feel! #SelfLove

(New Music Post) Love Song of The Day – “I Still Love You” by 702

This is such an underrated song! It’s a true gem from a girl group that I loved and it might possibly be one of my fav songs from them. Enjoy!

Lyrics
See everybody needs someone by their side
And I can’t go on without you another night
Since companionships been gone
My life has been so slow without you, you
See it don’t take a rocket scientist to know I love you
And it don’t take a rocket scientist to know I need you
See if you believe that you and me
Can change the world some day
Then you believe me when I say[Chorus:]
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I decided[Verse 2:]
So what do you think
Lets get back together, lets get back together
It’s nothing it could hurt, it could only get better
Think of what it lacks feel like
You and I didn’t turn our nice into forever
See, see it don’t take a rocket scientist to know I love you
And it don’t take a rocket scientist to know I need you
See if you believe that you and me
Can change the world some day
Then you believe me when I say[Chorus:]
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I decided

[Verse 3:]
Never to not be so happy and sure of myself
Baby life without you is so dark, so dark, so dark
Now I know it will never be me loving someone else
This precious love your my shining star
I remember when we first fell in love
I was too young to know what it was
I couldn’t address what made melt
But quick to tell you how it felt
That love is so real and it still is

[Chorus:]
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I decided I still love you
I still love you

[Bridge:]
Just think of the things we planned to do, me and you
Life changing the face of those and that we once knew
So when it’s the sun the shine the oceans are blue
And that we can laugh and cry and that through
