The population was 7,149 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Sandusky, Ohio Metropolitan Statistical Area. Huron Township surrounds the City of Huron.<br />
<br />
The citys' website says this about Huron:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Our city is located in Erie County in what was historically known as the Firelands region of the Connecticut Western Reserve. During the American Revolutionary War, hundreds of New England residents were displaced from their homes when British forces set entire towns ablaze. Several years after the end of the war, many relocated to the Western Reserve, and they are remembered in Huron in the form of several streets’ names, as well as the Bowling Green State University Firelands Campus.<br />

Our location on the lake creates a natural environment for recreation, and the city’s commitment to enhancing the community’s quality of life has produced several beautifully landscaped parks, a public boat basin, groomed beaches and a host of progressive recreational programs and activities.<br />

<br />
The city’s location at the midpoint of Cleveland and Toledo along the Route 2 corridor allows businesses access to two metropolitan markets. In addition to Route 2, Huron is only minutes away from the Ohio Turnpike and provides access to the Great Lake shipping lanes from the Huron River, complementing its access to the major railway between New York and Chicago. The city’s corporate park offers entrepreneurs a great location to conduct business and affordable property for future growth."</blockquote>

Check out my review of the hotel below:</h2>
<br />
<b>PARKING:</b> The parking lot is kind of interesting to figure out because it is not directly centered in front of the building. But there seemed to be plenty enough parking spaces for the guests that were registered on the night that we stayed. You have to walk down a small set of stairs and cross over the loading/unloading drive-way to get to the front door. However, the parking lot was well lit and well paved.<br />
<br />

Once we walked in, our registration card was quickly prepared, signed, and we were in our room within minutes.<br />
<br />
<b>CUSTOMER SERVICE:</b> The agents at the front were helpful and informative. We were also granted our Diamond Member upgrade that we requested, so that's always a plus.<br />

<b>REWARDS STATUS PERKS:</b> As stated above, our room was upgraded from the least expensive room (double beds) to the King Bed room facing the Huron River. We had such a gorgeous view from our room due to the upgrade. As always, we also received our digital copy of USA today the next morning and our choice of a property gift or bonus points. Hard copies of the USA Today were also available at the front desk.<br />
<br />
<b>CLEANLINESS:</b> The room was pretty clean. Nothing more, nothing less. There were a few water stains o the curtain facing the river above the A/C. Not sure why that is but that's the only thing I found.<br />

Obviously, the best part was the view. Additionally, the bed was comfortable, the entry seating area was a nice touch, and the sofa and chair was great for relaxing by the window. Additionally, the room came equipped with a fridge, microwave, and work desk. This particular room was extremely comfortable and I would definitely stay here again. I was also pleased that the rooms were located away from the elevators an ice machines. The hotel was very quiet.<br />
<br />
<b>DECOR</b>: The decor included cute little pictures of light houses and sunsets. The room also had beautiful gold metallic curtains.<br />

It's one of those lifelong habits that you start, stop, and start again so many times that you lose count. And of course, then there comes along all of the most new and innovative tools that are supposed to help make everything easier, quicker, and produce ore results.<br />
<br />
I must say that I have tried a lot of workout tools in my day. Everything from various balls, weights, ropes, bands, and whatever else you can think of.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS-4pQkoTxigEd49CYK_TCXFrP1WYDIjCLj8OgnlcAqavh6QZvKeBMXV3c5-jv2p7HBS8X2fei1j2BpJ7wIGEeCcHK67tgwuSVOldZSYCT5-cl9onAstD09qln7BGb9PSEKI4TzibQWSMv/s1600/SAM_4610.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS-4pQkoTxigEd49CYK_TCXFrP1WYDIjCLj8OgnlcAqavh6QZvKeBMXV3c5-jv2p7HBS8X2fei1j2BpJ7wIGEeCcHK67tgwuSVOldZSYCT5-cl9onAstD09qln7BGb9PSEKI4TzibQWSMv/s400/SAM_4610.JPG" width="300" /></a><br />
However, one thing that I had been wanting to try for months were resistance bands! But where do I start. Do I get the open bands or the loop bands? Do I get the log bands or short bands? And what's the difference in resistance levels of the bands. Ultimately, how do I use these things in order to maximize their effectiveness as a part of my overall fitness goals.<br />
<br />
Then I tried The Body Factory set of 5 Resistance Body Bands for Fitness/Abs/Physical Therapy/Stretching. Additionally, this product came with 2 Dual Sided Core Sliders, which I had absolutely no idea how to use but it was stated that it was for Core Strengthening, Glutes, and Fat Burning.<br />
<br />
So of course like all smart people (including myself, LOL) I headed over to YouTube to see if I could find someone who knew how to use these bands and fell in love with what I saw. It appeared that the exercises that people do with these small look resistance bands are simple, yet effective. Now, that's my type of exercise!<br />
I'll leave the links at the bottom of this blog with my favorite examples of how to use these products. But in the mean time, let's get right into my personal review!! I was so excited when my bands arrived in the mail!!<br />
<br />

The item was priced right at about $15 bucks and the all of the band perks were spelled out in plain language and understandable. The description was thorough and detailed.<br />
<br />
<u><b>VALUE:</b></u> The price was perfect! I've typically paid a lot more for exercise equipment hoping for amazing results and this purchase made me feel like I'd bought multiple items for the cost of lunch.<br />
<br />

It also came with a nice little card inviting me to review the product on Amazon and contact them if I am not completely satisfied. It included contact information.<br />
<br />
<u><b>QUALITY:</b></u> The quality of the product was great. The bands were well made with high quality color and material and withstood the toughest wear and tear that I put on it.<br />

I love these bands!!<br />
<br />
And one of my favorite things about them is that they are portable, pack easy in their little carry case, and I am able to travel with them without them taking up a little of space. As you can see in the attached photos, I took these on vacation with me and their photo shoot happened right there in my hotel room.<br />

The moisture bands are activated by water and feel so silky smooth on my legs. This also eliminates the need for shaving gel which is costly and bulky to carry while traveling or going to the pool/beach. In my opinion, that means it does what it is advertised to do.<br />
<br />
The price is also a perk with this product! Since you are cutting out the cost of shaving gel, you are already saving there. Additionally, you get 2 razors that last quite a while for only $6.99 (which is only $4.99 if you use the coupon.) I have paid way more for crappy razors in my life. I was pleased with the price and product!<br />

<br />
<u><i><b>THE UGLY:</b></i></u> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BQKQ216/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=tamekascorner-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07BQKQ216&linkId=024bf99ec0b8584817019c1239a2060e" target="_blank">This razor</a> doesn't seem to provide a very close shave when used on any other areas outside of a straight leg shave. This means that you'll have to shave more frequently and honestly, who wants to do that. I guess this wouldn't bother some people who already shave daily on their legs. But if you're trying to use it on your armpits, face, knees, or other areas where there's not a lot of hair and you are hoping to shave only once or twice a week, this is not the product for you.<br />
<br />

617 Las Palmas, Cotulla, TX, 78014, US</h3>
Cotulla, TX sits right in the middle of San Antonio, TX and Laredo, TX on Interstate 35. There's lots of traffic going up and down 35, as it is a major hub into Mexico, but there are some stretches where you don't see anything for about 20-30 miles or so. If you've ever been to Laredo a few times from San Antonio, I can guarantee that you've probably stopped in Cotulla to fuel up, grab a bite to eat, use the bathroom, or just take a stretch break. It's about an hour away from each city so it's a great midway point.<br />

Polish immigrant Joseph Cotulla, who was reared in Silesia, then a part of Prussia, migrated to the United States in the 1850s. He joined the Union Army in Brownsville, Texas. He lived in Atascosa County but arrived in La Salle County in 1868[7] to establish what became a large ranching operation. After learning that the International-Great Northern Railroad intended to lay tracks in La Salle County, he worked to establish the town which bears his name. In 1881, Cotulla donated 120 acres of his land to the railroad, and in 1882, a depot was constructed there. In 1883, the town was granted a post office. The same year, Cotulla became the county seat by special election. On June 28, 2013, the Texas Historical Commission, the United States Department of the Interior, and the National Register of Historic Places designated downtown Cotulla as a significant part of Texas history with the unveiling of an historic marker. In 2006, Cotulla had been designated as a Texas Main Street community.<br />

The have a ton of restaurants (local and commercial) in Cotulla, as well as a few truck stops and gas stations...... including a Loves for the truckers. Most of the lodging and restaurants are right there near the highway and in close proximity to one another.<br />
<br />
On this particular day, we choose to stop at the Comfort Suites in Cotulla for our layover and we had an amazing time!! Check out my review below:<br />

You can easily see all of the spaces if you choose a room facing the front of the property. Additionally, even though the front of the property faces the interstate, you are far enough off of the highway ramp that the noise can not be heard inside the room and doesn't disturb your sleep. That's always a plus and a usual concern when facing the front of the building. We like being able to watch our car but hate facing the side against the highway. This property gets a gold star from me for that aspect alone.<br />

There are also beautiful palm tree in the parking lot that provides some shade for your vehicle in the hot Texas sun. Lastly, it is easy to get in and out of the parking lot because there are 2 entrances/exits and traffic flows both ways.<br />
<br />
Above you see a picture taken from the room that we were in. While I was glad that our room faced the front parking lot, I did not like being over the awning. It was a bit noisy and we heard the wind howling all night long. <br />

Both of the agents were extremely informative, professional, and friendly. The process was quick and seamless. Additionally, the entryway is absolutely beautiful. You can tell that a lot of care and thought was taken to design and welcoming and breathtaking entry way so of course, that makes for a memorable Check in/out process. There is also a ton of seating if you have to wait (which we didn't), a television to kill time, room to mingle with other guest or visitors, if you so choose, easy access to the business center in the lobby, and ice cold lemon water to welcome you.<br />
<br />
<b>CUSTOMER SERVICE:</b>The customer service was superb!! Whenever we would pass housekeeping in the hallway, they were always friendly and welcoming, the receptionist recommended a great Mexican Restaurant in the area and told us all about the pool/gym hours without us having to ask. We were granted the late checkout upon request (Elite Member perk) and they ensured that we had everything that we needed!!<br />

<b>REWARDS STATUS PERKS:</b> As most of you know, I am a Diamond Member with Choice properties so with many of their locations you get to choose a welcome gift or extra reward points with our stay. In this picture, you will see that this property had a well stocked pantry (if your choice was the welcome gift) and lots of choices no matter your preference of snacks and drinks. As always, we also received our digital copy of USA today the next morning. Hard copies were also available at the front desk. Speaking of rewards, I also used my ebates when booking the room and received an additional 1.5% cash back. Those coins add up!! :-) Lastly, on both occasions, we received an extended late check out due to my Diamond Status.<br />

<b>THE ROOM: </b>The bed was really comfortable and spacious. The layout of the room was open and provided a lot of space. There was a nice sitting area with two separate pieces of furniture (not the normal one piece). The shower area with interesting as it did not have a shower door that moved. There was an opening to the shower that you couldn't close. It didn't bother me much but the mom in me and my subconscious keep thinking, "I hope that I don't get any water on the floor." LOL One of the best things about the room with how well the air conditioner worked for it to have been nearing 100 degrees in Texas on that day. The air conditioner kicked in within a few minutes of turning it on and it cooled down the room almost instantly.<br />

<b>CLEANLINESS:</b> The room was well cleaned. There was a small spot on the sofa but we all know how hard it is to get spots out of furniture so it wasn't a deal breaker for me. We stayed in this property twice in the same week (as we were going in and out of Laredo) and on both occasions, our room was very clean and well maintained. The other common areas were clean as well, including the gym, laundry room, and pool.<br />

<b>DECOR</b>:I know that this may not be relevant to some people who are just looking for a safe, comfortable road side bed to sleep in but I was pleasantly surprised and extremely impressed with the level of attention put into the decor of this property. While mos of that impression was made in the entry way and the common areas, the decor in the rooms was nice too. They have these beautiful lamps in the waiting area, along with lovely wall art. I felt comfortable and serene being surrounded by such aesthetic beauty.<br />

<b>LOCATION:</b> The location of this property was perfect for it's purpose. It's only a little over an hour from 2 major cities in each direction. It's easy to get to located among a cluster of other hotels and off of a service drive. It is within walking distance of a few restaurants, a market, and gas stations. There's also a dollar general store and an amazing Mexican Restaurant near the hotel. There is even a lounge right inside the hotel.<br />

<b>BREAKFAST:</b>Breakfast was good. There were lots of options and plenty of seating by a huge, beautiful window that allows for viewing of the morning sun. This property serves the traditional hot breakfast and has a waffle maker, which is standard. Some items included dry cereal, yogurt, sausage, bacon, eggs, a selection of breads, oatmeal, and fruit.<br />

<b>WI-FI & TECHNOLOGY: </b>One of my favorite things about Comfort Suites is that many of them offer Wireless Printing from your room or mobile device. Additionally, this property offers a business center with business supplies available from the front desk. Lastly, they had some f the best wifi I've encountered at a property. In both rooms that we stayed-in, as well as the common areas, the wifi worked perfectly well and I never had any problems logging on.<br />

<b>EXTRAS:</b> (Pictures below) Some of my favorite things about this hotel included the comfortable pool next to the outdoor picnic area with a barbecue grill, onsite. I also enjoyed the gym, as it had plenty of equipment for usage and was equipped with towels and water for the guests convenience. This property also features a laundry room for guest use and ice machines on every floor.<br />

For it to be in a remote location, you might have expected it to be a tad bit less expensive. However, for such an amazing property, and to be among so many other major brands, the price was great being well under the $100 mark. All of the amenities and Hot Breakfast made the value that much greater. As always, I created my booking using <a href="ebates:https://www.ebates.com/r/TAMEKA1045?eeid=28187" target="_blank">Ebates and received 2.5% cash</a><a href="https://www.ebates.com/r/TAMEKA1045?eeid=28187" target="_blank"> back</a>.<br />

All in all, I would have to say that this has become one of my absolute favorite Choice properties. They have all that you need for a perfect stay. It was quiet, relaxing, and comfortable.<br />

1755 O'Neal Ln., Baton Rouge, LA, 70816, US </h3>
Baton Rouge is a beautiful city in the culture-filled state of Louisiana. It's about an hour and a half drive from one of my favorite cities in the US, New Orleans!! Have you ever been to New Orleans to experience Essence Music Festival? Bayou Classic? A NFL Saints game? or just to experience the fantastic fresh seafood and authentic sounds of a local brass band? Well, if not, I would highly suggest you pay New Orleans a visit. But back to the topic at hand, since this particular post is not about New Orleans, but about its' neighboring sister city, Baton Rouge.<br />

Baton Rouge is easily accessible from two convenient interstates. It sits right at the west intersection of Interstate 10 and Interstate 12 and the Mississippi River. Baton Rouge is also the capital of Louisiana. Antebellum landmarks include the castle-like Old Louisiana State Capitol, now a museum, and Magnolia Mound Plantation, with its French Creole house. Baton Rouge is also the home of Louisiana State University and the LSU Rural Life Museum, which is a complex of refurbished buildings illustrating 18th- and 19th-century life. Additionally, the USS Kidd sits on the river and is a retired WWII destroyer that is now a museum.<br />

There is no direct entrance from the street. Although the hotel is right off of the highway ramp, you must drive up the street a little ways into the Hobby Lobby and Storage facility drive way. Upon arrival, the parking lot seemed small for the amount of room in the building but surprisingly, the parking lot never filled up completely. Therefore, everyone was able to easily find parking and everything seemed to be fine.<br />
<br />
<b>EASE OF CHECK IN/CHECK OUT:</b> Check in was probably the best part of the entire experience. The agent was extremely friendly and efficient. Check in was quick, and before you knew it, we were comfortably in our room. The agent asked if we had a room/floor preference and then gave us all of the pertinent information needed to enjoy our stay. He accommodated every request.<br />

<b>CUSTOMER SERVICE:</b> Customer Service is most likely the reason why this property has a four star rating on TripAdvisor. Each request was met with an emphatic "absolutely." We weren't here long enough to need a lot in the way of customer service but everyone was helpful and displayed positive attitudes.<br />
<br />
<b>REWARDS STATUS PERKS:</b> Being that we are Diamond Elite Members with Choice Properties, upon arrival we received a welcome gift bag that contained some of our favorite snacks, Cheetos and Bottle Water. :-) We were treated like we were priority guest and I immediately received my Choice Privileges Midweek Extras in my email inbox. After check-out, I received my 50% elite point bonus along with my regular points. We also received our digital copy of USA today the next morning. Hard copies were also available at the front desk. As I always say, Choice Properties has one of my most favorite Lodging Rewards Programs!!<br />

We saw no major issues with cleanliness. The main areas of the room were good, including the bathroom, counter top sink area, and linens.The air conditioner could stand to have a thorough annual deep clean but it was not bad. Additionally, the windows could stand to be cleaned more frequently.<br />
<br />
<b>DECOR</b>:Our room was a little outdated in terms of carpet, decor and furniture style. However, the bed and lazy chair still felt extremely comfortable even though it looked a little "old style" in my opinion. I must also add that the sitting area that is directly in the center of the hotel is extremely up-to-date with contemporary furniture and decor. The breakfast area is also very modern and comfortable.<br />

<b>LOCATION:</b> The location of the hotel was ideal for the business that I needed to handle while in Baton Rouge. It provides super-easy access to both interstates and there was limited congestion when leaving the following morning during rush hour.<br />
<br />
One of the downfalls was that there were not any restaurants or fast food places on the street with the hotel, that we could tell. However, there is a gas station within walking distance of the property, which was nice.<br />
<br />

They also had the traditional fare including pastries and yogurt. There was an attendant available to replenish so the items never ran out. They also have a waffle iron to make waffles. There was plenty of room for every patron to sit and enjoy their meal.<br />
<br />
<b>WI-FI & TECHNOLOGY: </b>Although we did not use the Wi-Fi much, it worked fine in our room. There were no glitches or hangups while trying to access it.<br />

<b>EXTRAS:</b> It was nice that each room comes with a fridge and microwave. Additionally, they have an outdoor pool, fitness room, and laundry room on-site. They also have conference rooms available.<br />
<br />
<b>VALUE:</b> This property was a good value for the budget. While there are plenty of other budget friendly hotels in the area, we didn't want to take a risk because they all seemed to have bad reviews. (I am so into reading reviews and the other hotels in the area seemed to be "you get what you pay for" types). I was pleasantly surprised with our experience here and glad we choose to spend a little more than the others were charging (in the same class range) to get a more premium experience. Speaking of value, as always, by creating our booking using <a href="https://www.ebates.com/r/TAMEKA1045?eeid=28187" target="_blank">Ebates, we received 2.5% cash back</a>.<br />

<br />
But who doesn't LOVE a reason to celebrate? I sure do!!<br />
<br />
And one of those grand times for me is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_ss_tl?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=earth+day&rh=i:aps,k:earth+day&linkCode=ll2&tag=tamekascorner-20&linkId=b4165539688800a0c690753000acf8cb" target="_blank">EARTH DAY</a>!! I've been celebrating Earth Day since I was about 7 years old and each year, I execute some action, whether big or small, to contribute to protecting the planet.<br />
<br />
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22 each year. Worldwide, various events are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day events in more than 193 countries are now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network. Additionally, many people also celebrate EARTH WEEK and plan activities throughout the entire week to celebrate nature and our beloved planet. To find out more about Earth Day celebrations in your area, you can check out <a href="https://www.earthday.org/">EarthDay.org.</a><br />

<h3>
1.) Plant a garden</h3>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikXXgSbOSguV5SfZcRMRoXHvge_mQPCXGcM41OHd8KJy8cE-Ig8vBvR4I8Mw-F7DqhqdvdO3DgRJxPca_FI9Q_5JCE5QD3TXiw6rtwm-B0V3wKCCwqTxKyNsPv1RWiF7-zhABokJrHFUtq/s1600/Screenshot-2018-4-13+Authentically+U%252C+LLC+on+Instagram+%25E2%2580%259CWe+came+into+the+%2523office+early+this+%2523morning+to+%2523transplant+our+%2523ro%255B...%255D.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="654" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikXXgSbOSguV5SfZcRMRoXHvge_mQPCXGcM41OHd8KJy8cE-Ig8vBvR4I8Mw-F7DqhqdvdO3DgRJxPca_FI9Q_5JCE5QD3TXiw6rtwm-B0V3wKCCwqTxKyNsPv1RWiF7-zhABokJrHFUtq/s400/Screenshot-2018-4-13+Authentically+U%252C+LLC+on+Instagram+%25E2%2580%259CWe+came+into+the+%2523office+early+this+%2523morning+to+%2523transplant+our+%2523ro%255B...%255D.png" width="400" /></a>It doesn't matter how big are small, there are tons of benefits to gardening. Gardening has been proven to relieve stress, provide mental clarity an improve mental health, increase self esteem and my personal favorite, provide a good workout. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_ss_tl?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=gardening&rh=i:aps,k:gardening&linkCode=ll2&tag=tamekascorner-20&linkId=ad40ee3187c3f20bf1e37b275940cce0" target="_blank">Gardening</a> also provides you with the opportunity to feed your family, friends, and loved ones with nutritious and delicious edibles that they will enjoy and remember. There's a great satisfaction and enjoyment that comes while sitting back with a glass of ice cold lemonade once your gardening project is finished, knowing that you've planted seeds that will (hopefully) yield a harvest. Some of my favorite plantings to enjoy with my 7 year old include these <a href="https://amzn.to/2GWaDlQ" target="_blank">Bloomin Seed Butterfly Paper Shapes</a>. They are fun, easy to plant and produce such beautiful blooms in no time!! "Of The Earth" has some nice <a href="https://amzn.to/2JL4giO" target="_blank">Seed Embedded Larkspur Handmade Paper Tags</a> also that can be used as gift tags or just a little something to write a special note to a friend! Also, keep a look out on the blog as we are getting ready to build a few planter beds in the next couple of weeks.<br />

<span id="goog_2127124205"></span><span id="goog_2127124206"></span>One of the biggest organizations, and my personal favorite, to host coastal cleanups is The Ocean Conservancy. I am in love with going to the beach and enjoying one of our planets greatest treasures, our oceans. I've have been supporting the Ocean Conservancy since college and they do some amazing work in the world of preserving our planets oceans. My absolute favorite project that they organize is the<a href="https://oceanconservancy.org/trash-free-seas/international-coastal-cleanup/" target="_blank"> International Coastal Cleanup</a> which has been happening for the last 30 years. This year, it is being help on September 15th at a coast near you. Although this date is not during the actual Earth Day celebration that we recognize in April, there are several smaller coastal cleanups that happen on or around Earth Day. To get involved, contact <a href="https://oceanconservancy.org/trash-free-seas/international-coastal-cleanup/" target="_blank">The Ocean Conservancy</a> through their website, <a href="http://oceanconservancy.org/">oceanconservancy.org</a><br />

3.) Use nature friendly products in your household.</h3>

Although I am ashamed to say that it took me far too long to start buying eco-friendly household cleaning product, I am happy to report that everyone in my household is now being more conscience about what we use for cleaning and refreshing. At first, I was kind of clueless as to what the difference would be in buying more eco-friendly products but after a little research, I realized that there were some areas that I could make improvements in my product choices. Earth Day would be the perfect time to make a better commitment to purchasing these types of products, if they fit your families needs. I mean, who doesn't want to live in a toxic free home? Or at least, as close as possible.<br />

Amazon is having an great sale to celebrate Earth Day this month. Some of my favorites are listed below!! You can check out these brands by tapping on the links.<br />

I'm so excited to start my <a href="https://amzn.to/2HiXPSQ" target="_blank">10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse</a> using the book written by JJ Smith!! My book just arrived in the mail!!<br />

The group currently has over 650,000 members and it continues to grow every single day. The posts are extremely positive and inspirational and many of the groups members have become like family. JJ Smith has since some out with an additional book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1501100653/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=tamekascorner-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1501100653&linkId=ec8fac02b4ac4c28b9871bf245cc19e4" target="_blank">Green Smoothies for Life</a>, and she host several challenges in the FB group to keep people motivated and continuing on the right track. There are quite a few people in the group that have been using JJ's method for several years and still continue to see results.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGe1qE2vyzqn0t57pfBzkN68ALqfs9cTw54OJSyh9wt6G-_iMP_U7GzuZUW9FHwC1pBbyxxxO0c8HYXyQystUMzckVwxdH4TOu_Ke-7XIyjotdscfQqt0H_xJfKM7ufmKma1DUxxjUPAUd/s1600/20180411_195024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGe1qE2vyzqn0t57pfBzkN68ALqfs9cTw54OJSyh9wt6G-_iMP_U7GzuZUW9FHwC1pBbyxxxO0c8HYXyQystUMzckVwxdH4TOu_Ke-7XIyjotdscfQqt0H_xJfKM7ufmKma1DUxxjUPAUd/s640/20180411_195024.jpg" width="480" /></a>I'll be chronicling my journey through a series of blog posts here at Tamekas Corner so I hope you will to continue to follow my progress and encourage me along the way.<br />
<br />
First things first, buy the book. The book is available in several languages for digital download or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LD1OBMI/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=tamekascorner-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00LD1OBMI&linkId=21bf49eebd639578474788b9974c30b8" target="_blank">paperback</a>. Of course, I purchased the hard copy because I am certainly a "book in the hand" kind of girl with a library in my house. LOL The book won't take very long to finish as a great part of it is recipes, shopping list, and testimonials.<br />
<br />
Second, order your supplemental supplies either from Amazon or a health food store. Below, I've listed a partial list of items that JJ Smith recommends, along with some pretty smart and handy recommendations from the veterans in the group.<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00028OVXM/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=tamekascorner-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00028OVXM&linkId=eab3fbac7c9182566e8bf47584d2d47c" target="_blank"><span class="a-list-item">Aerobic Life Mag 07 Oxygen Digestive System Cleanser Capsules</span></a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00015543W/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=tamekascorner-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00015543W&linkId=789ce429478f663443e72bd233853b88" target="_blank"><span class="a-list-item"><span class="a-list-item">Aerobic Life Mag 07 Oxygen Digestive System Cleanser Powder</span></span></a></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="a-list-item"><span class="a-list-item">This is the powder version of the capsules above. It works the same way and performs the same functions but obviously, it blends differently and some say it's stronger.

Third, go GROCERY SHOPPING and PREPARE! Of course, we all know that being prepared is the key to success. This is particularly the case when it comes to any type of new regimen regarding ones weight loss journey. Some people want their produce to be super fresh from a farmers market or the like every few days, while others opt to only go grocery shopping once a week. No matter what your preference, the grocery list in the book for the 10-day cleanse is broken down into 2 parts, the 1st five days and the 2nd five days so do what works for you.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to see you back here for the second part of this post when I officially begin the cleanse and give you all the details!!<br />
<br />
Until then, wherever you are in your corner of the world, continue to be a blessing to someone else and show yourself more love than ever before!!<br />

6039 West IH 10, San Antonio, TX, 78201, US </h3>
San Antonio is one of my absolute favorite cities!! Being from Oklahoma, Texas is our neighbor which means I made many childhood memories in the state where everything is big!! I'm a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, spent summers with friends at Six Flags (both in Dallas and San Antonio), and know the story of the Alamo like the back of my hand. Even as a young adult, I always wanted to live in Texas..... but then I ended up in college in Georgia, got married... Life happened. But that doesn't mean that visiting one of my favorite states is out of reach! I travel there every chance I get to feel the Texas sun on my face, enjoy the most amazing tacos ever, brush up on my Spanish, or hit a rodeo or festival. If you haven't been to Texas, or specifically San Antonio, plan a trip there when you can. As a matter of fact, this year they are <a href="http://visitsanantonio.com/" target="_blank">celebrating their Tricentennial</a>!! What better time to pay them a visit!!?<br />
San Antonio is a major city in south-central Texas with a rich colonial heritage. The Alamo, an 18th-century Spanish mission preserved as a museum, marks an infamous 1836 battle for Texan independence from Mexico. Following the San Antonio River, the miles-long River Walk is a landmark pedestrian promenade lined with cafes and shops. HemisFair Park’s 750-ft. Tower of the Americas overlooks the city.<br />

<b>MY TWO CENTS:</b><br />
For a very long time, I did not know what that shooting pain was that I continued to feel going down my left leg. I was absolutely clueless!!<br />
<br />
I didn't know anything about sciatica or chronic back pain and certainly didn't feel like I could have these symptoms at such a young age. However, being in my thirties with a history or cheerleading injuries, retail jobs in college, athletic wear and tear, fluctuating weight gain, genetics, and a host of other contributors, I begin to understand more about why my back was hurting me so badly and why my sciatic nerve pain was rearing its ugly head. I begin to look for non-surgical solutions and I found one in the ComfiLife Coccyx Cushion for Sciatica & Back Pain.<br />
<br />

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body.<br />
<br />
Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.<br />
<br />
Although the pain associated with sciatica can be severe, most cases resolve with non-operative treatments in a few weeks. People who have severe sciatica that's associated with significant leg weakness or bowel or bladder changes might be candidates for surgery.<br />

The cover is thick and soft and fits snugly around the cushion insert. It comes in this really nice grey color that is super universal and is gender neutral. It could fit in any decor in your office or your car without looking like an odd ball.<br />
<br />
Additionally, I love that it has a zipper so you can take the cover off and clean it without having to wash the entire unit. I don't know about you, but I hate putting whole pillow in the washing machine because I never know if it is going to come out like its original version.<br />
<br />

It fits nice and snug in most regular-sized office chairs and also fits well in the seat in my truck. The grippy bottom makes sure it never slips off the seat. <br />
<br />
<b>VALUE:</b><br />
The price for this product couldn't be a better deal or steal!! Other competing back pain cushions run about $40-$50 but I got this one for a price in the high 20's. It also comes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and full warranty. The product was shipped and received quicker than I thought and I have had my own product specialist corresponding with me via email to ensure that I was happy with my purchase and didn't have any questions. Talk about awesome customer service!! You can check out this cushion, as well as some of their other product offerings here. <a href="http://amzn.to/2syzV14">http://amzn.to/2syzV14</a><br />

Perhaps there's someone in your life that doesn't know that they need it or someone who keeps putting off the purchase of buying one for themselves. Either way, this would come as a pleasant surprise and with a sea of gratitude, I'm sure. It's one of those things that people don't know they need until they have it. Then they wonder how they ever lived without it. LOL<br />
<br />
Lastly, there is this cute "Cool Gel" version that I am hoping to try out soon. <br />

Charlotte, North Carolina (Queen City) is one of my absolute favorite American cities!! The nightlife is lively, the food is great, the neighborhoods are so cute, homes are beautiful, and life balances perfectly between fast and slow according to what you need!! They have one of the most beautiful downtown skylines of all of the places I have visited and I love that downtown doesn't exactly sit on the main highway that runs through town. Therefore, there is a work around for traffic during rush hour if you are just passing through...... not like home in Atlanta but that a blog post for another day.<br />

I am in Charlotte about twice a month and each time, I am so very impressed by the choice of lodging accommodations at my disposal. Charlotte is a very progressive, southern city, that is not far from other major cities in North Carolina including Raleigh - Durham, Greensboro, and Wilmington.<br />

Check out my review of the hotel below:</h2>

They have well lit parking including in the front and the back of the building. Although one side of the lot feel like your car is about to fall off the edge because it is on a slant, there's plenty of even level parking surrounding the hotel.<br />
<br />
<b>EASE OF CHECK IN/CHECK OUT:</b> Checking in and out was easy peazy! There was no wait time on either end and the attendant was swift and efficient with the process.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn67uW4WZOAGmVa0PQKWT2u24XWi8jBhaf97T417H73X6QF1FoRIJySZS1_OYwhRH4SdTabKPrx6832B3aSuqkdnE5vj0XXDi9nUDs0UDmzPUGoDDVIzg3-rfnSYBNBg2w2aHDSBQEFY4_/s1600/SAM_4076.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn67uW4WZOAGmVa0PQKWT2u24XWi8jBhaf97T417H73X6QF1FoRIJySZS1_OYwhRH4SdTabKPrx6832B3aSuqkdnE5vj0XXDi9nUDs0UDmzPUGoDDVIzg3-rfnSYBNBg2w2aHDSBQEFY4_/s320/SAM_4076.JPG" width="320" /></a><b>CUSTOMER SERVICE:</b> Customer service was great. The night shift gentleman answered all of my question and engaged in conversation concerning the best places to sight see and do while in Charlotte. The morning attendant checked to see if I'd gotten a chance to eat breakfast and discuss the options with me. They were both friendly and professional. And of course, the best sign of good customer service is actually getting the much anticipated "wake up" call that I request to be scheduled. I received my call on-time and as scheduled. YYIIPPEE!!<br />

<b>REWARDS STATUS PERKS:</b> Although I am a Choice Diamond elite Member, I was not offered the 200 additional points or the welcome gift that you get to choose from with this most recent promotion that they are having. I guess it didn't matter much because I was going to pick the points anyway and they attach them automatically but it would have been nice to have been asked which one I wanted and been given the choice. It's likely the agent just forgot. Oh well.<br />

<b>CLEANLINESS:</b> The hotel was extremely clean. There really is not much more that I can say here because it was basically impeccable. Everything from the inside of the fridge and microwave to the linens and shower was clean and acceptable. It was indeed a pleasant experience. <br />
<br />
<b>DECOR</b>: The decor is the hotel was absolutely beautiful!!! There were these beautiful circular lights in the lobby and these pictures just do not do them justice. There were also large pictures of various Charlotte landmarks all throughout the hotel as well as a cute little waterfall welcoming you when you first enter the lobby!!<br />
<br />

There was a small challenge in the one-way direction of traffic on the side street because the city's rail car system. Additionally, the hotel is not located off of a major interstate but that worked out great because we were not disturbed by any highway traffic during sleep time, which is typical of our hotel stays. <br />
<br />
<b>BREAKFAST:</b> Unfortunately, we didn't get to experience breakfast because I overslept in the very comfy bed but I do know that they have a hot breakfast complete with sausage and eggs, a waffle maker, and a host of other "continental styles' breakfast items. Additionally, the breakfast area appeared to be spacious and clean.<br />

<b>WI-FI & TECHNOLOGY: </b>The Wi-Fi was super fast in the guest rooms and common spaces. Additionally, they had a ton of television channels, a computer business center with printer, and all of the electronics in the room worked well and appeared to be new and updated. And of course, you that I can always appreciate a hotel room that has an acceptable amount of power outlets. I was impressed.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>EXTRAS:</b> This hotel has a large conference room, as well as a well-equipped gym and business center! The doors on the business center and gm lock so that they are only accessible to guest which I like. Additionally, the business center had the printer included in the room and space to write while at the desk. it was well lit and comfortable. The gym was certainly one of the better ones that I'd ever seen. It was a nice size, clean, and quiet. It was equipped with towels, water, instructions, wall pictures, and an updated television. There was more than enough equipment and a mirror wall. I really enjoyed my time at this gym!!<br />

I was able to recycle plastic and paper that had accumulated during our road trip and that always does my heart good!!<br />
<br />
<b>VALUE:</b> The value of the price was just okay. While I used points to stay, the website indicated that it was over $100 a night to stay which can be a little high for a value hotel, not immediately off the highway, and in downtown city center. However, it was an amazing hotel with lots of amenities!! You get a great service for the price so I think it's very worth it.<br />

It finally came..... My AncordWorks Bluetooth shower speaker in Army Green. And while I'm not the easiest critic on new technology because I've tried some duds in my day, I could wait to rip open the Amazon box on this little ray of sunshine. It didn't disappoint!!<br />

I had been considering purchasing a BlueTooth speaker for quite some time but there are so many on the market these days that I had a hard time narrowing down my choices. I considered a "Beats By Dre" brand but ultimately, I just don't believe the hype about them. I think they are too expensive and are mostly recommended based on the celebrity fan fare associated with Dr. Dre and the brand. While I am, of course, a fan of Dre, I wasn't about to drop over $100+ bucks for a simple speaker, especially considering I probably wouldn't use it daily.<br />

As you can see, I've been living in the stone age using this ancient, trusty corded speaker for the last couple of years but really........ it's 2018. Time to step my game up. Plus, no one wants to get electrocuted in the shower just because I need to play a little Beyonce' in the morning to get my day started.<br />

Seeing it on Amazon, I already knew this might be a problem. LOL However, I was secretly hoping that there would some type of glimmer or sparkle to make me fall in love with the color but nope! It was a true matte Army Green. And being the girly-girl that I am, I need a little umph. Luckily, I didn't select it for it's looks and it didn't fail me in the function department!<br />

One of my favorite things about this speaker is that it doesn't require batteries. It can be charged through the computer or the wall with your basic USB cord. That makes it so easy for me! So at night, I can just plug it up with my phone and it's ready to go, fully charged for the next day and several days after. The battery really does last a long time. I was extremely impressed by that.<br />

Additionally, there are several options from which to play music. I can turn it on Bluetooth mode and stream music from my phone or any other Bluetooth enabled device. You all know how much I love my Amazon music unlimited subscription!! I can also insert a microSD card into a small secret compartment and it will play music from the SD card, over and over.</div>

I can't wait to tote it to the beach and enjoy Spring Break and a summer fill of days at the pool with my favorite tunes in tow. Being that it is a wireless, cordless, waterproof speaker, it's prefect for the shower, the pool, when I'm washing dishes, whatever!! (And yes, I still wash dishes by hand 😁)</div>

<h3>
Comfort Inn, 70 Gore Rd. W, Morris, IL 60450
</h3>
<br />
It's the middle of January and we stopped in Morris, IL for a night as we continued to travel for our business.<br />
<br />
There wasn't much at this intersection where the hotel is located but if you cross the bridge into Morris, you will certainly find more options for food and shopping. Morris is a quiet town not far from Metro Chicago. One of the best known things there is the Dresden Nuclear Power Plant. They also have a really nice state park there, as well as host their Annual Corn Festival.<br />
<br />

It was a nice hotel, reasonable priced, for a one night stop on our way home.<br />
See my review of the hotel below:<br />
<br />
<b>PARKING:</b> When i was there, it was snowing so I could appreciate that the parking lot had been cleared of the snow and salted. There was plenty of parking available for the amount of guest and it was well lit.<br />
<br />
<br />

No complaints.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>CUSTOMER SERVICE:</b> The customer service was exceptional. All of our needs were met and everyone was courteous and professional.<br />
<br />
<b>REWARDS STATUS PERKS:</b> Upon our arrival, we were offered water and snack (which you can see in the picture above). Additionally, we were granted our late check-out request.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>CLEANLINESS:</b> Our room was very clean and nice. The linens were fresh and the room was cleaned appropriately. <br />
<br />
<b>DECOR:</b> The decor at this property was a little dated. In the lobby, there was a very nice fireplace and beautiful blue furniture. However, the rooms have not had the same attention given to detail. There were these three little pictures above the sofa that I thought were cute.<br />
<br />

But ultimately, the property is close to the highway and there was no congestion.<br />
<br />
<b>BREAKFAST:</b> Breakfast was great and one of my favorite things about this property!! All of the fruit was fresh and there was a variety of yogurt flavors, which is rare. The breakfast area was spacious and there were plenty of tables for seating. there was also a television in the area which was nice to watch over breakfast. The breakfast area was clean and well maintained, as well as kept fully stocked.<br />

<br />
<b>EXTRAS:</b> We were here for such a short time that I am not sure of any extras that they may have. Although I did see an indoor pool which was a nice size!! <br />
<br />
<b>VALUE:</b> This property was a great value and the rooms were very large. They are spacious and come with a sofa. We slept peacefully for a great price.<br />

<br />
It's the middle of January and we stopped in Morris, IL for a night as we continued to travel for our business.<br />
Although
I frequent Peoria quite a bit, this was the first time that I visited
this particular Choice Property. As most of you know, I am a Diamond
Elite Member with Choice and stay with them at least once a week during
my business travels. I really like Peoria. It's the birthplace of
Richard Pryor, the largest city that sits on the beautiful Illinois
River, the headquarters to Caterpillar, Inc. (and their museum) and The
home of "The Spirit of Peoria" paddle wheel riverboat. My favorite place
is the Riverwalk that is the location of local festivals, restaurants,
shops, and museums.<br />

I was greeted by a friendly and chipper young lady at the front desk and such a beautiful and grand Christmas tree that caused me to smile with the Christmas spirit that we all share.<br />

I am usually skeptical about rooms with this placement because there tends to be more noise but during my stay, I wasn't disturbed one bit by any foot traffic or other noise event though the lobby and breakfast area was right outside our rooms door. That was a pleasant surprise that earned this property some brownie points. However, what did wake me up a few times during the night was the noise from the highway.</div>

Rebecca and her staff treated us like family, the room was clean and spacious, check in and check out was seamless, shower was hot and had decent pressure, breakfast was good, they were able to accommodate a late check out request, there was plenty of well-lit parking, and they even had pumpkin spice waffles!! Also, the beautiful holiday decor was such a nice and homey touch. It's also super close to the highway and plenty of gas stations. I wish I could come here often!! It was so nice!!<br />

I am a featured guest on The Elite Society of Ambitious Moms SummitHey there Corner Clique!! I am so excited and honored to share with you that I am a featured guest on The Elite Society of Ambitious Moms Summit!! I became familiar with the summit earlier this year, in February, as it is a bi-annual event and the value that I received during my experience pushed my business goals into overdrive!! The information shared was so valuable and motivational that it was just what I needed to push my to-do list into overdrive so that I could start achieving some things that I'd set out to do during the year. Check out the description below to see how the creator explains the experience!

<br />

<br />
<u><b>Amazon FreeTime: Best-in-Class Parental Control</b></u>s<br />
Amazon FreeTime Unlimited is delivered to your children within Amazon FreeTime, the best-in-class parental control suite included on Fire Tablets, Kindle eReaders, Fire TV, and available for download on Android phones and tablets.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Built for kids</b></u><br />
In FreeTime, the background color changes to blue, letting parents know at a glance that their child is safe. Kids only see titles that have been selected for them. Younger kids can search before they know how to type by using Characters - for example, tap on "Frozen," "Dinosaurs," or "Puppies".<br />
<br />
<u><b>No surprises</b></u><br />
While in FreeTime, kids do not have access to social media and can’t make in-app purchases without parental approval.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Time limits</b></u><br />
Limiting your child's screen time can be challenging without the proper tools. FreeTime lets parents set daily limits, or restrict certain categories - like games and video - while leaving unlimited time for reading.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Smart Filters</b></u><br />
FreeTime Smart Filters ensure that your child sees age-appropriate content within FreeTime Unlimited. We use input from Common Sense Media and from parents like you to ensure that pre-teens don’t get the baby stuff and little kids don’t see the scary stuff. Parents can also adjust Smart Filter settings to tailor the experience for each child.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Learn First</b></u><br />
With Learn First, parents can block access to games and cartoons until after educational goals are met. Using Bedtime, parents can control when FreeTime shuts down for the day.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Individual profiles</b></u><br />
Parents can create up to four individual child profiles, customize each child’s access to content from the parent’s library, and decide which FreeTime Unlimited titles will be viewable in each profile. It's like giving each kid their very own, personalized tablet. A password helps keep kids in FreeTime.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Fire on the go</b></u><br />
Download your child’s favorite videos, apps and books for access even when you don’t have wifi. When an Internet connection is unavailable, your child will automatically see available content that has been downloaded to their FreeTime profile.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Discover & Connect</b></u><br />
Amazon Parent Dashboard lets parents discover the books, videos, educational apps, and games their kids enjoy in FreeTime. Discussion Cards help parents start conversations and make connections with kids about these titles.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Child-safe camera</b></u><br />
On Fire Tablets, kids can take pictures and edit them by adding stickers, drawings, and more. Parents can view photos and videos taken by their children in a separate photo gallery, and have the option to auto-save to Amazon Cloud Drive.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Watch videos, read books and play where you want</b></u><br />
Amazon FreeTime Unlimited is available on Fire Tablets (books, videos, apps), Fire TV (videos), Kindle eReaders (books), and Android phones and tablets (books, videos).<br />
<br />
<iframe border="0" frameborder="0" height="90" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?o=1&p=48&l=ur1&category=freetime&banner=077WJQZH4MJF57F3F482&f=ifr&linkID=00e5bd6b083285436c044eae2b150eec&t=tamekascorner-20&tracking_id=tamekascorner-20" style="border: none;" width="728"></iframe><br />
<br />
Amazon FreeTime Unlimited is an incredible deal. Kids get access to thousands of titles for a low price - starting at just $2.99 per month for Prime Members. And because there are no ads and no in-app purchases, there are no surprises and no extra charges.<br />

I can't believe that the year is almost over!! It's like 2017 flew right by us. It's been a year full of ups and down, curves and loops, and thankfully growth and blessings!! This was my second full year in business for my newest business venture and it was a doozie. They say that it takes about 3 years to really get a brand new business off the ground, so I'm looking forward to next year being the charm and hitting m sweet spot in that venture. My other businesses are moving along well, but I must admit, I've neglected them a bit in order to give my full focus to my less established venture. But luckily, they can pretty much sustain themselves, for the time being.</div>

Speaking of business, I decided to make my first Blogmas post about some of my favorite Minority, women-owned businesses.

They all have products and services that are the best in their industry and they all are provided with quality, excellence, and purpose!

YYYYYEEEEAAAA for making it to Day 2! LOL Hey, celebrate the little victories. :-)<br />
<br />
I was a little bit more cautious this morning because yesterday, I got a slight headache between breakfast and lunch. I am
trying to determine if it's the natural process of the detox (I'm on Day
3 of drinking detox tea, even though it's only Day 2 of the eating
plan) or if it's the plant-based diet. It wasn't anything that inhibited
me from going about my daily activities. I still went to the gym and
did some work from home for my business. It was actually more annoying
then anything. It wasn't painful like how headaches typically can be so
we'll see how it goes today.<br />

I had some meetings this morning so I prepared my travel cup and jumped in the car to start my day. <br />
Today was also a horrible water day. I didn't get started on my water until well into the afternoon and that is never good. Drinking your daily allowance of water is one of those things where once you fall behind, you can pretty much forget about catching back up. It's like a bad Saturday College football game. That's exactly what happened to me today. SMH.<br />

I may stick to these for a good part of the duration of this plan. </div>
<br />
For dinner, I whipped up some green beans and sweet potatoes. I also sliced some tomatoes to go on the side. I absolutely love sliced tomatoes. So much so, that sometimes when they come on a cheeseburger, I take them off and eat them separate from the burger. I also tried to be responsible and place the remaining sweet potatoes in a storage container so they'll be ready tomorrow if I have to travel for work.<br />

I couldn't believe they did that to me. If you missed yesterday's "lifestyles of the Tempted" episode, you can <a href="http://www.tamekascorner.com/2017/11/plant-based-eating-plan-day-1.html" target="_blank">check it out here</a>. Anyway, I am happy to report that I did not touch one single morsel of that Mac & Cheese! Even when some cheese fell on my hand and it started to tremble with excitement and anticipation of licking it off my hand, I quickly washed my hands and kept it moving! I am so very proud of myself for resisting that today!!<br />
<br />
Lastly, I just wanted to share with you all that I bought a new, little, manual lemon juicer that I so enjoy using. I know that it's 2017 and there are electric contraptions these days but this was just so cute sitting up on the IKEA shelf and it's so much fun to use!! I just love it!! Here it is in pics with the teas that I am alternating at the moment.<br />

I was scrolling through pinterest yesterday on the treadmill and every last one of those vegan deserts had me about to jet out of there just to head home and whip up some of those scrumptious blessings!! No more pinteresting at the gym! Period!<br />

<b> MY 3 CENTS:</b><br />
~ It's time consuming to make the veggies fresh, instead of from frozen. But it's worth it in cases where they try to hide sugar in the veggies. (<a href="http://www.tamekascorner.com/2017/11/plant-based-eating-plan-day-1.html" target="_blank">See pic from my Day 1 post</a>)<br />
~Drinking detox tea with my plant-based eating plan has helped me immensely to avoid hunger cravings<br />
~ Staying up too late at night while on a eating plan is the devil. While there are multiple benefits to getting 8+ hours of sleep, one of them is that you are not able to raid the fridge.<br />
