Day 22

Day 22: What makes you different from everyone else


Me just being me makes me different from everyone else. I march to the beat of my own drum. I've always been a leader. Never been a follower. While everyone is jumping in the box, I like my position outside of the box. I'm cool, smart, funny, loyal, beautiful, and a go-getter! That's what makes me different from everyone else. :-)

Day 19/ Books

Day 19: Nicknames you have; why you have them


My nicknames:


My grandpa Jay gave me the nickname Boot and my little sister Bootchie. I have no idea why. Ever since I was little girl that's what he and my family called us. He passed away before I could ask him why. My family doesn't know either. But it stuck. 


My mommy calls me Terri. It's short for my middle name that I will NEVER reveal! LOL!


My fiancee' calls me Apple. Because I'm from New York. Get it? New York: Big Apple. (he he he)


Those are my nicknames. What are some of yours?

I LOVE to read! It is one of my favorite past times. I usually read a few books at a time. It's never two novels at a time because I don't want to get the characters mixed up. :-) Here are the books I'm reading right now:

Such a GREAT Read!

Can you see where I'm going with this.......


What are some of your favorite reads? What are you reading right now?

Day 17/Vision Boards

Day 17: Someone you would like to switch lives with for a day and why


The only person I can think of that I would genuinely want to switch lives with for a day is Queen Oprah. I want to see what a day in her life is like. What motivates her. What steps she has taken to amass such a conglomerate and still seem so approachable and not jaded.

Vision Boards


I am currently working on building my vision board. I've made one in the past and it has helped me to stay on task with getting the things that I want. By seeing it everyday, it keeps me on task. Here are a few that I found online that I thought were pretty cool. I'll share my next week when its done. 


Do you have a vision board?

Day 12

Day 12: How you found out about Blogger and why you made one


I found out about Blogger through my many hours on the internet when I use to work overnight. It still took me some years to decide to make one. I didn't think I was that interesting back then. LOL! The reason I decided to finally make one was to claim my piece of the internet and burn some of this energy that I have.

Day 9/ ~Forever 21 Haul

Day 09: Something your proud of in the past few days and why


Something I am proud of in the last few days..... I guess it would have to be my blogging. I have posted something everyday for the last 9 days!!! Go me! *hits my douglas* 
Also, I have been utilizing the library! Now, this may not sound like a big deal to some of you, but it's a big deal to me. I DO DID NOT go to the library. I would go to the nearest bookstore, book stand, Amazon, ebay wherever to BUY a book, but I took a trip to the library with my daughter (she lives there.. LOL) and I was enlightened. I like the library. Anywho, that's all I got right now.

Last October, I took the older three kids on a 7 day cruise to Cozumel, Mexico, Costa Maya, Mexico, Belize, and Roatan, Honduras. We had a blast!

This picture was taken at our first port in Costa Maya, Mexico. The paint and costumes were amazing!

Where are some places you have been? Where you recommend for a family vacay?

Day 4

Day 04: A habit that you wish you didn't have


Hmmmmm..... A habit I wish I didn't have..... I guess that would be procrastination. I am such a huge procrastinator! OMG! I think its because I'm afraid of failure. So I figure if I don't do it, then I can't fail. I know that sounds crazy, but I'm working on it! LOL!

Day 3

Day 3- Post a picture of you and your friends.

Now, this is a tricky one. Even though I have a lot of people whom I love and know love me, I'm just not big on taking pictures. I know I'm beautiful so that's not the issue, it just feels awkward taking pictures of myself. Oh well, anyway here are a few.

My Fiancee' and me. Yes, we are silly, we love to have fun together. He's my ace boon!

My daughter Tiana (on my left), My son (twin boy) Aaron (far left), twin girl Aaliyah (on my right). They are my homies! I love hanging out with my kids! They are hilarious, smart, and cool kids! 

I can't forget King Jacob, my baby youngest son (hanging with my Uncle at the MLK Memorial).

Angie B and me. My Gemini double (one of them), my party partner (when we get out).

So, there you have it. This 30 day thing is getting easier by the day!

Day 2

The meaning behind your Blogger name.

The meaning behind my blogger name "Polish Me Glam" is, I'm a tom girl. I love sweats and wife beaters and sneakers but underneath it all, I'm secretly a girly girl. I love to get all "Polished and Glam". I love mani's and pedi's. I love make up and shopping. So that's where the name came from.

How did you get your blog name or if you were to start a blog, what would your blog name be? Talk to me! The phone lines are open! LOL!

Some of my favorite things:

 

F21 Patch Pocket Tank 

Gucci Canvas Tote

L.A.M.B. Piplette Boot

Levi's Supreme Curve Boot Leg Jeans

Vaness Army Brown Boots by Jessica Simpson

e.l.f. Essential Super Glossy Lip Shine
