Money Money Money Money

It's the Sundays!!!!! Woo hoo! Let's become better together!


SO today I'm going to talk to you guys about something I absolutely suck at ..... budgeting!!!

Today I got another lecture from my parentals about spending; the crazy part is, i've actually been trying really hard to save money, however, things just don't seem to be going the way I want.

After some reflecting here are a few solutions I've come up with to cure my spending problem.

1. I need to live BELOW my means

Meaning just because you have enough money to buy that new thing you want doesn't mean that you should. Or in my case just because I have the money to go out to eat with my friends doesn't mean I should go every time they ask. One of the realest quotes I've seen on instagram said "you don't want to be the person that has an 1,000 dollar purse but doesn't have 1,000 dollars in it!


2. Check your bank accounts often! 

Another one of my issues is I don't frequently check to see how much money I have. Not checking can cause us to over estimate the amount of money we have which can sometimes lead to overdraft!


3. Read what God says about spending money

The "You Version" Holy Bible app offers many plans which are esentially different bible studies for everyday. One that I am doing right now is called "financial fitness". It is such an awesome study and really looks deep into what God wants us to do with our finances.

4. Spend your money on whats best for you not on what's popular 

I recently had the option to choose between the iphone 6 and the galaxy s6. I went into the store certain that I was going to get an iphone. The best buy worker asked me what I wanted in a phone and I told him an amazing camera because I want my blog, social media pages, and vlogs  to have good quality. He then showed me the drastic difference between the iphone camera and the android. The galaxy had the better camera by a long shot! My mind was racing: "But i didn't want to be team android.... all my friends have iphones ... and a lot of times people make fun of people when they see the green messages". But then i realized WHO CARES! I have to do whats best for me not what others think is best for me ...... in case you couldn't guess i'm now #teamandroid.

I know that may seem like a simple example but it has taught me a lesson I will take with me when it comes to buying clothes, cars, homes etc. You HAVE to do what's best for you! And besides who wants to be basic and have what everyone else has lol.

So yeah guys I hope this post was helpful! Comment below with some of your best budgeting tips!

Fathers Day

Fathers Day is definitely a bitter sweet day for me. On one hand I am grateful for my Heavenly Father along with my earthly father, the man my mother married in 2012 who has taken me in as his own. However, the day also hurts because when I scroll down Instagram all I see are the multiple baby pictures of my friends and their fathers and of a childhood that I will never have. 

But although I call it bittersweet I am definitely not bitter. 

God has mapped out my life perfectly and not having an active biological father is apart of what makes me who I am today. It's apart of the reason why I choose to wait for my husband to have kids because I want my children to be able to have someone to call daddy. And that's no shade to any single mothers because trust me I know that sometimes you just have to to what you have to do. But today I celebrate all the men who are there for their kids and all the men who take kids under their wing who aren't even biologically theirs. You change lives you really do. 

I think people often underestimate the power of a good man. Many women today who are single mothers claim that they are both father and mother. Although I am a self proclaimed feminist I believe that it is impossible to be both father and mother. You can be an amazing mother but it takes an amazing man to be a father. Lets just celebrate the men today, okay? Happy Fathers Day! 

Bootcamp!

Today we will talk about health and the bootcamp that I will be doing for the next month! It's super easy and more importantly free!

Now I know you're like what the heck does this have to do with the Sundays?

Well the Sundays are all about inspiration and I want to inspire you guys to get active with me! But also did you know that healthy eating and vegetarianism (for all my fellow veggies out there) is in the bible?!?! Daniel in the bible decided to go on a diet with some of his fellow men so that they would be strong for battle. In this diet they gave up "the kings diet" which meant no meat. They only ate veggies and water! After 10 days they were visibly healthier  Daniel 1:11-16

Now don't worry the bootcamp is nothing like that I'm just showing you that even the bible talks about the benefits of healthy eating and drinking lots of water.

The bootcamp that I am doing comes from LaurenConrad.com. It's super simple and straight to the point which I love and it's not about losing weight but about being healthy.

So below I will put the bootcamp instructions but you can always go to laurenconrad.com for more details.

This Week For Me:

Breakfast- Eggs w/ spinach and mushrooms w/ wheat bread
Lunch- Vegetarian frozen lunches from Amy's
Dinner- Vegetable Stir Fry
Exercise: Alternate Sprinting and Walking for 60-90 seconds for 30 minutes

God Written Love Story Part 3

Stephen Curry and his family have been getting ton of attention lately (especially after his daughter's wayy up I feel blessed speech). However, what caught my attention about this couple was not  Stephen's basketball skills nor their daughter; it was their faith in God and their placement of him in their marriage and family. This couple is truly inspiring and is definitely deserving of "God written love story part 3".

Below I have given you all the link to Stephen & Ayesha's "Husband Tag" video because they can describe their marriage a lot better than I can lol. Be prepared to witness perfection... I mean they freaking met in their church youth group; like seriously stop bring perfect!

Next week on the Sundays we will be talking about some deep stuff. Somewhere around fear and positivity so get excited!


Love you guys!

P.S. my audition went well! Thank you so much for your prayers and keep me in your prayers as I move forward.

P.P.S If you guys have a God written love story or know someone who does feel free to submit it to me at admiriaessence@gmail.com :)
