What’s better than seeing game animals🐿 in taxidermy on a wall?
👓Seeing them live, of course!
In spirit of 🎍Texas Independence🎋 this week plus with 💐spring🍀 and 🐇Easter🍳 around the corner to celebrate new 🕊life, I’m sharing a few of my favorite sightings as a tribute to ☝🏽️GOD’s creation of our 🌠Great Lone Star State’s creatures!
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
tote reusable containers ~ mine from Starbucks saves me 10-cents per use and conserves resources (great for my next craving, this flavor-of-the-day: the Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino to redeem my latest Gold Card Reward*)
My everything store is Target because it offers decent prices on clothing ~ including my designer collablimited editions ~ as well as home goods, some groceries, and is my personal fave place for gift registries
You too can check out these Target en Vogue** photos by scoring a copy and scanning with your Shazam app
Lately, my pleasure reading getaways have been simpler to prevent brain burnout (i.e., pictures for eye candy) ~ so no information overload in this rotation
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)
No believer is ever too busy to †pray† ~ even if we can’t take a ½ hour or full hour to meditate, at least devote a few to several minutes or even †pray† before, during and/or after your activities (my Rosary begins my days, and playing the ♪song♫ jump-starts it!)
* 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. ✌

Throwback: Decade ago when we were awarded with our ASU grad scholarships
Here are throwbacks from celebrating Cinco de Mayo Fiesta when I was teaching en el Valle
#Happy #Birthday ASIA ~ You’ve fulfilled my #fantasia ♥♥♥
On this special #date, my #Beautiful #BlueEyed #Baby #ASIA turns 8!
Isn’t that great? She’s been w/me all over this State!
Now her doc has ordered her to lose weight (don’t hate)!
Either way, she always #lights up my #day & hasn’t gone astray…
Some may perceive yours truly as a #CrazyCatLady for going #CameraHappy
But if I really was a #mommy of my own baby,
Don’t you know I’d still go all out because that’s what I’m all about!
We’re not a #HotMess because we’re among the #lucky who #GOD did #bless †
#Photography isn’t just a #hobby, as I also take #snapshots #professionally!
#CHEERS to all these #Years of ASIA in her #BioPic #Mosaic =D
Here’s #EyeCandy for y’all to enjoy while the #BirthdayCat plays w/her new #toy
A #gift from her Nanay Aya while this #GirlsOnFire!
Since I’ve always enjoyed being behind or in front of the camera (or both at the same time ~ hence selfies), I’m excited about doing it professionally now. My camera-happiness surely has paid off…
I also appreciate my latest blessings, including my upcoming reading at church this weekend, making massive progress on my dissertation writing this past week and my latest publication: Jenna Bush to Deliver Healthy Woman Keynote Address from Abilene Reporter-News
