Not Enough Coffee: lifestyle

My biggest problem(s) are time management and procrastination. My goodness, guys I suck. I promised you consistency and I've been all over the place since January 1st. What's a girl got to do to stay on track? If you're like me, with so many ideas and things you want to do and never know where or how to begin, you should probably start with purchasing a planner or desk calendar. Ha, now I did that and guess what? Yep, i'm still the world's greatest procrastinator and its starting to bother me. I hate to not get things done especially once I said that I would so ladies ... I got to be a better goal digger!!

Now I am putting my planner and my phone's calendar into use a little more. It is important to have short and long term goals and not overwhelm yourself with all your ideas, like me..

I am proud of myself for the small things I have accomplished so far this year though. For example, I hosted my first event, which was for #BoozyBrunch. #BoozyBrunch is the all new podcast that Not Enough Coffee will be hosting on iTunes and Soundcloud really soon. The turnout was great and so was the food! I like to eat so you know there was not going to be an event without something to munch on.

I also completed my first phase at Aveda and I am now in phase II and closer to graduating with my Esthetician's license!!

I did another big chop. Yup! I cut my hair AGAIN for the tenth time but I love it. I love how it makes me feel. I am not hiding behind my hair. I love my natural curls. I have to stay off +The Cut Life 's Instagram seriously!!

Any who no matter how big or small the goal is GET IT DONE.

What do I plan to accomplish in February?

- Record my first podcast series.
- Attend more networking events and support my fellow peers
- Give myself two hours outside of work and class to myself ( blog,family,friends,me time )
- Consistently post for all of you wonderful readers
- Start practicing new makeup techniques on friends/family and build my portfolio

What accomplishments are you proud of so far this year and what are some goals you wish to accomplish? What do you do when procrastination gets the best of you? What are some suggestions to manage time better in your already busy schedule? HELP ME hahaha

I feel like I've lost my connection doing a lot of things that I really used to enjoy doing . I believe its because I was so lost and always about the person I was in a relationship with. I feel like I put the things that I wanted to do and dreams on hold because I wanted to make sure I was supporting my significant other with their endeavors. Once the relationship was over I begin to actually realize that I had to build myself back up and get back to being me. I can't believe it was so easy for me to get lost in my relationship the way that I did. Just my opinion, but it seems like females are always constantly trying to prove that they are worth it. You have to know how to cook, clean, give your man bomb ass sex, support his dreams, always be on your toes and be a crying shoulder when he comes home wanting to vent to you about his day. That's not even everything expected of you and how dare you not have all of your shit together!

When the shoe was on the other foot and I needed him to provide me with the same, he fell short. I realized I was with someone who was about themselves and only worried about shit that concerned them. I began to feel neglected in the relationship but continued to stay and tried to work on it because I also didn't want to be a quitter. I wanted to know that I attempted to do everything I could before I just said fuck all of this. Of course, the selfishness and the verbal abuse was too much for me and once priorities start getting all fucked up, I knew it was time to let go.

Welp, BIH YOU GUESSED IT ! *lol* That relationship has been dead, its a year later and I'm glad to say I've learned so much about myself in this time. I've grown so much and I have definitely realized how much more my worth is. I've reconnected with good friends, start rebranding myself and I began to act on all the business plans I had. A lot of new opportunities have been brought to be and I feel so blessed. It is very important to take care and love yourself before you try to take care of and love someone else. Whether you have a relationship or friendship with someone make sure you take the time out to still #loveyourself. What are some things you have went through that made you realize your worth? What are some hobbies that interest you that you can do alone, have 'me' time, and clear your mind?

Last night I decided to try something new for dinner that I've never attempted to cook before. I was sitting in my bed checking my emails because I've definitely been lacking with that. There is no reason my inbox should say over 5000+ emails. ( pet peeve ). Anywho, I receive newsletters from a fellow blogger Janae Raquel, if you aren't aware of who she is, get aware.. she's amazing ( & not only because we have the same first name)! Yesterday she blogged about a dish she had made, Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast !!! Yum, so I guess the dish was on my mind subconsciously all day because it's all I craved to cook.

FOIL
GLASS PAN
BACON (beef or pork 3-4 STRIPS)
SEASONED CHICKEN BREAST
KALE (FEW PIECES)
CREAM CHEESE (TABLE SPOON)
SHREDDED CHEESE (2 TABLES SPOONS / SLICE)
BASIL (PINCH)
SALT (2 PINCHES)
OLIVE OIL (DRIZZLE)

What to do :

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Season your chicken breast with the spices of your choice.. I used Six Peppers seasoning, Onion powder, and a creole seasoning.
Lay 3-4 strips of bacon down on your cutting board vertically and place your chicken breast on top.
Spread a layer of cream cheese on top of your chicken breast and sprinkle a pinch of basil and a pinch of salt over it or you can mix it in your cream cheese before spreading it on to your chicken breast.
Add two layers of the cheese of your liking. I used one layer of sharp cheddar and one layer of mozzarella cheese.
Add a few pieces of kale or spinach to the top of your chicken breast.
Fold one side of your bacon of your chicken breast and try to tuck it so that it will not come a loose and then fold over the other side of your bacon. You may also use toothpicks to keep in place.
If you would like somewhat of a sweet taste, you can sprinkle brown sugar on top of your bacon
Place your Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast in your glass pan and cover with foil. Then place in the oven for 40minutes or until your bacon and chicken is cooked to your liking. Midway through cooking, take the foil off the pan for the dish to brown a little.

WAAAH LAAAH!!!!

I also made a side of vegetable medley which includes roasted potatoes, snap peas , red peppers , green peppers, and corn. But, of course you can create whichever side you would like with your meal. It was a hit with my household. Everyone enjoyed it and I definitely had fun making it!
