Presiii Turns Two Today!!!

Presiii Turns Two Today!!!

How exciting is that? I have been blogging for 2 years now, and let me tell you that I have learned so much and still have a lot of figuring to do.

Honestly, I can say that I had an amazing year… When I got started, I started blogging about lifestyle and health but didn’t quite know that I would launch a whole Life Planner.  By far this was one of the best accomplishments I have done in 2019. I  am ready to master my craft and expend in every way possible.

The year of 2020 is the year to get proper coaching, find myself and  be consistent. 2019 I have learned to take the leap, I  have learned to try without having all the resources and this year is to master my craft. I literally can’t wait to share all the blogiversary to come with you. In the meantime I want to think all of you who have  contributed to this blog and to my business.

Love,

Presiii

Four Free Apps That Will Save You Money in 2019

Four Free Apps That Will Save You Money

Saving more money is always necessary. Either you save money for rainy days, college funds, leisure or retirement; it will build up over time. Sometimes, you probably say that you don’t have any money to save because saving in your mind is only a thousand dollars readily available. However, saving can be done through your everyday routine and purchases. If you save just a dollar a day for a year that’s $365; therefore, every penny counts. Today, I’m sharing with you four free saving apps that I am currently using.

Werk Pray Slay Weekend Recap: Mental Burden of Student Loans

Week Pray Slay Weekend Recap: Mental Burden of Student Loans

I have recently moved from Philadelphia to Atlanta a month ago and Werk Pray Slay was by far my best conference in years because it gave me perspectives from different sides of life and business ; either financial, mental, spiritual and emotional. Can you imagine a group of women, from different backgrounds and businesses in the same room? I have been in conference where the people are within the same company (nothing wrong with that), but sitting next to someone that can either built your website, teach you how to create your business’ elevator speech, find you a rental property, create a business plan etc…is theeee best atmosphere.

One of the things that grabbed my attention was the Student Loan Doctor, Sonia Lewis. Sonia started the business to really help her figuring out a plan for her own student loans, then  started to help a few people figure out a plan for themselves but really didn’t think this would turn into a major business. Her business is now growing and have received  recognitions from the city of Philadelphia. (Sonia in the middle)

 

When I first read an article about Sonia, I didn’t really spend time reading because I don’t have student loans, but came to this event to find out that she is not only helping  those with students to create a plan for themselves, but for their kids as well.
Our community is sinking in student loans debt. According to  New York Times, the average Black family in America has one-tenth the wealth of the average White Americans. The black household was about 50,000 compared to 59,000 Hispanic and 68,000 for white; therefore, people can rely on these loans to get by. In addition, African women have the most degrees in the United States; however, we have the most student loans debt. An AA woman who is debt free by the age of 39-41, will likely go into debt once again with a parent plus loans  because she spent most of her time paying  her student loans and not saving for a her kids college funds. Parent loans have higher interest and this constant financial burden will drive you insane. Now, she spent all her lifetime paying for student loans, became sick, passed away without leaving any wealth to pass on to her children.


How can we change the conversation?  If a child gets a scholarship or if a woman/man earns at a certain point, she may be excluded from the latter part. Moreover it is important as parents or guardians to not push our kids right after high school just because they are grown and you want them to experience life just like you did. You are not helping the situation because not only you spent your life fighting these financial and mental demons but you are creating the same path for your kids as well.


One thing that I am forever grateful for is the fact that my parents helped me through college, I was welcomed to stay until I finish school. When I started school in this country, I was an international student; therefore, I have to pay out of pocket and out of states fees. I wasn’t qualify for financial aid but I’m grateful to have a bachelor’s degree without owning a PENNY.   I knew the best way to get by was scholarship. I kept applying every time I get a chance and it could be between $500 to 1500 per semester.  Also, by attending a community college in the first two years, I was able to secure almost a full scholarship just because it was for students who attended a community college in the state of Florida.

None of these made since back then, I just didn’t want mom to get a loans to give me that extra boost. Seeing now how the student loans crisis is outrageous, I am thankful that I did it that way. Moral of the story; there are tons of scholarship for various reasons and all you have to do is applying.

Stop creating the same environment you had as a child for your kids. Talk to them about career choice, what they enjoy to do, financial decisions for school. Instead of sending them away just because you think they are grown and should get a loan  to get by, sit with them and start looking for scholarship, explain them the benefits of attending a community college instead of a private school. They can always transfer after the first two years. Nevertheless, if they find a full ride for a 4 year university that will be amazing. Many people are going through these burdens, financial uncertainty because they didn’t have someone to mentor them about the aftermath of a $100,000 loan. Sadly, may are still confused  about career choice and worried  about loans repayment.
The Student Loans Doctor is changing that narrative by providing more knowledge, education to the community so they can make better choices when it comes to repayment, make better choices when it comes to investing, creating wealth, or even creating a new way to pay off the debt sooner. Let’s work to secure a better future and bag for your offspring.

Mental Health Takeaway from The True Self Magazine by Muriam Cinevert.

There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.” ― Mandy Hale

People will tell you that women don’t get alone, they can’t do business with each other or they are not supportive and that was a lie!!! Although, your vision may not be seen by many, there always will be a true supporter.
This was in the same contest True Self Mag was created by Muriam Cinevert.

What is True Self Mag?
True Self Magazine is the new number one publication marketing for voluptuous women and their businesses.  It was created to unleash, empower and encourage voluptuous women to express themselves unapologetically while making a difference globally.

What is the vision behind True Self Mag?

Creating a world where size doesn’t define you. You aren’t worth more when you are skinny and It doesn’t matter what kind of body you have. You are an amazing  human being, therefore you are worthy!
Here’s my mental health take away from this Magazine:
True beauty is about who you are as a human being, your principles, your moral. Many women struggle with low self-esteem, depression, lack of confidence because they think something is wrong with them.
Beauty is more than who you are on the outside, it is the wisdom and time you gave away to save another struggling soul like you.

True beauty doesn’t radiate from outer cosmetics, but from the simple joy of making a difference for those that need your voice and this is what True Self Magazine stands for.

Listen to Your Body and Go to The Potty

Listen to Your Body and Going to The Potty

Constipation is the most frequent gastrointestinal complaints in the USA and Western countries. There are at least 2.5 million doctor visits for constipation in the USA each year, and hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on laxatives per year.

What is Constipation?

Constipation  means that a person has three or fewer bowel movements in a week. Constipation most commonly occurs when the stool that forms after food is digested moves too slowly as it passes through the digestive tract. Change in diet , dehydration,certain drugs and sedantary lifestyle are frequently to blame. Also, poor coordination of the pelvic and anal muscles sometimes contribute to constipation which may cause bowel obstruction (blockage).
At one time or another, almost everyone gets constipated. In most cases, it usually lasts a short time; however, it can be pretty serious.  If you have any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from constipation.
1.      Hard and dry stool
2.      Painful and unpleasant discomfort during bowel movements
3.      Feeling of being unable to empty the bowels fully
4.      Loss of appetite due to a feeling of fullness
5.      Stool loos like small rocks etc..

There are many things you can do to prevent constipation. They include:

•       Eating more fruits, vegetables and grains, which are high in fiber
•       Drinking plenty of water and other liquids
•       Getting enough exercise
•       Taking time to have a bowel movement when you need to
•        There are different laxatives over the counter you can use but I really recommend that you talk to your doctor if you simply have to rely on them go the bathroom.
•       Asking your doctor if the medicines you take may cause constipation so he can prescribe something else for constipation.
Everyone’s body is different, you may go every day while someone else every other day. However, pay closed attention if your bowel habits change.


What can happen when things remain unclear?

Some tests may be done. The doctor may recommend an examination with a flexible viewing tube, either just the lower part of the large intestine (sigmoidoscopy) or (colonoscopy) for entire large intestine. This examination is important if the constipation developed suddenly or if it is worsening noticeably. So, listen to your body, do what you need to do, reflect on your lifestyle and talk frankly to your provider in order to receive proper treatment.
