Shameless Day 1: Vitamins

I am afraid of vitamins. I haven't taken them on a consistent basis since my mom used to give me the kind that tastes like candy. I also don't like pills. But, considering my diet, I am sure that I am nutrient deficient. Actually, I am positive I am. If you took my blood right now, you would find Minute Maid Fruit Punch and Oreo crumbs. Taking vitamins again has been on my mind since I heard fitness guru AJ Johnson (of House Party and Baby Boy fame) speak at Spelman about how soil has been nutrient deficient since the '70s. She caries a literal garbage bag of vitamins with her when she travels, and she looks like a million bucks. Don't get it twisted, I am not trying to look like AJ. I am just trying to make it 30 minutes in a day without feeling like I need to take a nap. I will let you know how this goes. Dare I say I am a little excited, looking forward to having energy.

30 Days Shameless

So about two months ago, a co-worker introduced me to Shameless Maya on Youtube, and since then, I have become a huge fan. I ordered her tote bag and I am nearly camping out in front of the mailbox waiting on it. She is funny, she is pretty, she is awesome, and she said something in her LA Lookbook video that caught my attention. She said that about a year ago she started being shameless, and doing so changed her life. Hm, I feel that I am literally full of shame and it is doing nothing for me. So I am going to take a page out of Maya's book and kick it shameless. I am a fraidy cat though. I can't go shameless overnight. So I am going to try 30 days shameless, trying and doing things that I am too afraid to do now. I shall keep you posted. I'm gonna do me boo!
