Double D is for …
D issertation D efenseD r. D ispoBiG D ay : D ecember 8 ~ Save the D ate!
After I passed my presentation with full faculty on Veterans’ Day , I followed my Bestie Evie
Take a Me QT Day.
While I still worked on revising my paper , I also set aside Spa Time this past weekend!
Facial Mask
Based on Fleur De Force ‘s The Glam Guide acne and **dark spots :
Manicure
Then I treated myself to an at-home mani with the following gift sets:
and polished my finger nails with my own lacquers:
O•P•I Got the Blues for Red & Sally Hansen 18K Gold Hardener + Revlon Orchid & Silver Screen + Sally Hansen i ♥ Nail Art Striper in black
My top tip to achieving a lasting nail paint job:
Run freshly coated nails in cold water and dodge hot water!
Cold water seals in moisture, while hot water repels and drys it out
If I hand wash dishes, I wear special gloves
I also wear gloves during hands-on activity
Massage
My good †Christian† friend and fellow prayer warrior, Lisa
Thank GOD for these special gifts of blessings and wonderful company!

‘Cause I have your back!
This Back-to-School season , check out my super saver tips for time, money and the Earth plus even your sanity …
Set out:
weekly wardrobe ~ clothes, jewelry , hair accessories, handbags, etc. (hang on a rolling rack or dedicated space to designate) #OOTDforDays
anything else that you need to get ready ~ especially your keys, in the same spot, and also specific hair tools & products, makeup , nail colors
Always check the weather forecast and have a back-up plan if an unexpected natural circumstance arises
Sleep in:
This has worked for me on a couple of different situations:
when I had my fitness classes 1st thing in the AM in college
when I worked at my hometown gym and exercised before work
Speaking of ♫working on my fitness, he’s my witness♪ {Fergie ‘s Fergalicious} …
Be Prepared {Boy Scout motto}
stash sneakers in your vehicle ~ so you have no excuse for a fun run on-the-go
pack change clothes ~ from working out to reporting to work or vice versa
This has worked for me on a few different situations:
when I hit the base gym before and after work after I graduated from college (YES, 2-a-days)
when I hit the university gym during lunch with my boss during graduate school
when I hit the college gym between classes that I taught
when I had my photography gig at the hospitals (during which I’d sometimes fit in a work workout ) before teaching at the College or ministering at Church
Bearing this in mind, make sure to pack
hygiene products (i.e., dry shampoo , deodorant ) ~ do your best to fit in a quick shower if there’s a locker room
dental hygiene products (i.e., floss picks , gum, mints) ~ so your breath doesn’t kick
I actually store deodorant and mini perfume bottles plus packs of gum in most of my purses plus my compact bag that I transport when I switch handbags
DON’T forget to eat! ~ Mami Aya Pinay & caring moms everywhere
double-duty edibles ~ such as coconut oil to substitute fatty oils in recipes plus is my favorite hair conditioner and also moisturizes skin, as well as removes makeup (according to The Sweet Life handy healthy snacks (not fast food) ~ such as apples, grapes (I dig mine fresh or frozen), pears ~ the pear or apple crisp can trigger brain juice flow, don’t ya know #DISPObustAFlow
chill your coffee ~ since I don’t drink as much for heartburn prevention, I store the rest in the fridge until the next day
Transitioning between seasons from cold cups to hot tumblers …
1-Stop Shop
☼Sunshine☼ Time
Get a daily dose of Vitamin D (as weather permits) ~ for health & happiness
Just make YOU Time
More than Scrub in the Tub
♪sing♫ in the shower ~ so cliché, but as someone who needs a nice-sounding voice for teaching , defending my dissertation , and most of all: ministering (leading in readings , prayers and song ) at Mass, I must warm up my ♫melody♪
stay fit as you suds up ~ stretch (with caution) as you reach for body parts to clean, and if you’re seated during a bath , I strongly suggest doing water pilates (think table top position with head and feet raised for resistance as you move)
†Pray† at Any Time of the Day
* Rewards = another way to $ave (discount$ & FREEbie$)
These guidelines will save you in the long one ~ not only for the aforementioned reasons, but also from embarrassment (i.e., killer breath, B.O.) if you run into someone later… We don’t want to be Finch from the American Pie movies who had to go home from school every time he had to release his macchiato! You’re welcome. ✌
Happy ☼Birthday☼ to my ♥Tita Fe♥ , a.k.a. Dr. Reyes-Dollete , & HBD to my BFF Bestie SSG Melody

Minty!
To ring in recent birthday s, I was all about ordering up mojitos
Passionfruit Mojito topped with Cocktail Fruit from La Canela Peruvian Restaurant
First, to celebrate my Tita Fe Passionfruit Mojito at the Peruvian restaurant ~ thanks to my cousin & her hubby!
Then I enjoyed a refreshing Frozen Blueberry Mojito at my own Bday Brunch from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café (Mex intentionally before Tex)!
Most recently, I toasted to my cousin’s birthday with this Twisted Madre Mango Margarita ~ another special from Miguel’s Agave Bar!
Twisted Madre : Frozen Margarita swirled with Mango Flavor topped with Lime and dressed with Chile Salt on the Sim from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café
S is for …
Freebie for my Bday : Mocha Coconut Hazelnut Frappé
More Sweet Treats … this time without spirits:
Starbucks Birthday Rewards
First, from my research university before my BiG #-#: Hazelnut topped with Coconut
Next, from our busiest local coffee shop: the new Blackberries & Creme Frappuccino
Blessed with Rest (sort of) on my Bday … Real quick before I get back into it!

Once I kicked👟 my dissertation📖 work into high gear transitioning from July into August, I’ve actually resisted turning away from my work💼 after several-hours⌚️ worth of “shifts” lately!
🎓Scholar Mode = In-the-Zone🌟
But to prevent myself from 🍳frying⚡️ my 💡brain💭 from dozens of hours⏰ in front of my 💻computer ~ executing💥 my challenges while exercising my 💪🏽strengths:
I had to ❤️break💔 away for a bit …
Especially since last night offered my 🌼summer🌻 📺shows !
Complete combo with this 🚢Captain’s⚓️ 🍹cocktail🍸
Beachy SceneMyrtle Beach Iced Tea (as opposed to Long Island ) that calls for Arnold Palmer (tea & lemonade named for the golfer) spiked w/your spirit(s) of choice ~ mine was Midori and green color ~ + a cherry on top … Or to sink this ship! 🌊🌴🍹🍋🍈🍒⚓️🚢
That can be served ❄️chilled🍧 and 🍉chunky🍌
Peachy Keen : Other fruit to add to the mix (sweet if they swim in the drink while you sip): peaches * pineapple * strawberries 🍑🍍🍓🍒🍹
🍺Cheers🍻 to this 😅chillaxation😜 😴Getaway💤

My latest dessert obsession:
*Nutella * Cheesecake from Fazoli’s
Don’t let the solid chocolate look fool ya … This bad boy’s full of flavor !
Combines 2 of my faves:
Chocolate hazelnut My favorite fast food joint
The darker the chocolate :: The sweeter the flavor!
There’s never been anything that I didn’t like from Fazoli’s ~ Italian , I’m in Heaven ~ including from this most recent visit.
Giving Grape Italian Lemon Icecontributory cause !
Penne Romano ~ steaming HOT !!!
Yummy Post-Church Meal complete with blessings!
I’ve lucked out with this eatery (which opened in my hometown, thanks to my h.s. buddy’s dad ~ a contractor who liked it when he visited his son in college and decided to build it by their family home) because it’s always been quick, inexpensive and most of all: delicious!
My former workout partner (who now lives overseas for the military ) and I used to grab Italian Lemon Ice at Fazoli’s after we’d have a fun run at the park around the corner ~ we’d burn calories then reward ourselves with something sweet, refreshing and healthy!
Classic Strawberry Italian Ice ~ nothing classic about it! #BoldAndFresh
Alfredo & Marinara + Meatballs = YOLO Italiano !
Plus, now that I typically fly solo, I’ve done my work or homework there after hitting the track myself and have tried almost ALL of the seasonal desserts (except for the Red Velvet Cheesecake around ♥Valentine’s♥ Day ~ because it was out when I visited)!
Watching my ☼truck☼ while sipping on this Strawberry Italian Ice Float !
How do you eat an elephant ? Savoring every single bite!

S ummerS alad S eason!
F is for … Fresh & flavorful: Romaine lettuce topped with crumbled feta cheese {Trader Joe’s Olive Garden
I may indulge in comfort foods during colder weather when I prefer to stay cozy and warm, but now that the ☼heat ☼ is on ~ not to mention, the pressure , since I’ve stepped up my A -gamedissertation ~ I’m saving time and energy from cooking much to go raw
A is for … Apple! Added crunch from fruit & nuts (in this case, walnut ½s & pieces) suppresses appetite & burns calories!
Gotta ♥love♥ my greens !
P is for … Pineapple & pecan chips for sweet flavor & savory crunch!
Speaking of freshness, I had a little more time this morning to whip this up for breakfast!

As somebunny who loves sweets, I savor those concoctions that combine healthy goodness with YOLOs!
Berries Cake = Score!
Bestie Evie R.E.
Evie’s Raspberry (Non-Rum ) Cake : Evie omitted the rum , & for the sake of 1, she made it gluten-FREE , & for the sake of flavor, she went happy on these raspberries ! Both easy on the eyes & tasty on the lips (+ my share surely went to my hips #DISPObustAFlow )!
I took this to a smaller scale for my study snack on the day I ran my stats
Blueberries are our friends … I’ve heard that slogan on a commercial back in the day, and it holds true to this day! Excellent for the memory ~ so wonderful timing on this stats day !
Of course, I also must add to the mix
