Rejuvenate

So it’s a new year and of all the holidays, I love New Years the most! I even get excited about Sundays because it’s the beginning of the week.

I was conflicted about doing an entry about New Years because it feels and sounds sooo cliché. However, I’m Alima and everything I do is unique…

Okay, so for my first entry of the new decade I’m going to do a top ten list…this list reflects the things we are going to drop, do, and improve in 2010 so that we will be that much more fabulous. This list will make our 2011 the dopest ever! Its 2010 girlies and I’m on my brand new shhh!

10. Education. Finish or attempt to finish school. Because telling a brand new love interest that “I’m almost done with, or I just graduated school”, feels better then a new pair of UGG slippers.

9. Substance. Get rid of the dudes that have nothing going for them but a pretty face. I myself have to admit that a pretty face paired with a nice looking stomach is hard to walk away from, BUT we need personality, intelligence, and a nice sized : -X Anyone can have a pretty face but, what can you do for me that the last man didn’t??? Hmmm, I’ll wait.

8. Family. Drop those family members that have their hands out with nothing in it. You know the family members I’m talking about…the ones that complain about life but are too lazy to get on their grind. This is my motto: “If you didn’t come out of me, you gets nothing out of me.” (I’m too much, laughing out loud).

7. Venture out. Don’t be afraid to try new things. The people that discourage you from doing such should instantly be made invisible.

6. Read. I know this sounds so unexpected but it works trust me I know. Find a good book. If you don’t know any ask a friend. Books are a healthy way to escape reality for a while. It allows you to think with someone else’s brain. It allows you to see with someone else’s eyes, and it expands your intelligence in more ways then you even realize.

5. Love yourself. Because if you don’t no one else will. People come and go out your life, but the only true person who sticks around is you. So allow yourself to love yourself.

4. Sex. Don’t allow those with small minds into your “cupcakes” ladies. Men can seem romantic, caring, and sexy until they say something stupid and you never speak to them again. Be careful who you share your “cupcakes” with because not everybody is worthy of a bite.

3. Your circle. Make new friends because the ones you have may have other intentions *side eye*. Keep the loyal ones you have. Most importantly, be the friend any one would desire.

2. Job. You know how people at work can be. One day they like you, the next day they stop speaking to you. Well, maybe that just my job but either way, play the idiot role but think like a prodigy.


1. God. Keeping God first will always allow you to be on top. Praying and appreciating God goes a long way. I myself fall victim to complaining and not thanking God enough. But remember this: When you go to sleep with nothing and wake up with everything, you’re blessed.
