I have no daughters and I'm not crafty, but I am obsessed with this YouTube channel.
She makes doll furniture and accessories using recycled material.
I never miss a video. lol
I love how you can find an audience for nearly anything these days. lol
If you watch a lot of YouTube (like me) you probably already know who Shameless Maya is.
If you don't know, now you know.
Anyway, Maya started a challenge in 2012 to be shameless after being afraid to put herself out there. Most of us can relate to that!
I found Maya right before she started her challenge on her old channel (can't remember the name) and followed her to the new one.
Here's the introduction video to being shameless!
I want to challenge myself to #beshameless too without feeling so weirded out by it.
I don't get along with social media. I feel so awkward and like I'm talking to myself on most of these networks. lol
I'm working on it though. I will continue to maintain a YouTube upload schedule, write on Brown Vegan weekly, meet people and open myself up for opportunities. I feel so energized this week and want to do as much as I can to work on a strategy to just do me, boo!
My YouTube subscriber goal for 2013 is 5,000. I need to dream bigger and aim FOR 10,000.
Why not? #shruglife
I lose nothing if I don't meet this goal, so I might as well try it.
I adore Tracee Ellis-Ross. She's fun, creative and I get major goofy vibes from her. lol

#2 Not everything on the list is suppose to be checked off. It's more important to live in the moment.

Love or hate her, Bey is that chick!
Beyonce taught me a couple of lessons.
Lesson #1
It's okay to be yourself-There was so much controversy last week about Beyonce new song snippet. I think most of the drama is because Beyonce operated like a "brand" and not a person for so long. I will be always strive to be my authentic self. It's just so much easier that way. Like Kurt Cobain said, "I rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not."
Lesson #2
Be your own competition- No one is like Bey. NO ONE. She is in her own lane and I strive for that. I only want to outdo MYSELF.
#BeyTaughtMe
Lately I've been getting a lot of spam mail in my personal AOL account. Don't laugh. I know I'm one of the last few with AOL but we go waaaay back.
Anywho...
One of the latest messages was titled, "Tired of green tea? Try green COFFEE!"
Let's just say this spamming little weasel had me at green tea. *shaking my head*
