A rich mister, eight-figure, that’s my type! 

We all know the type of man we want in our lives, but what type of friends do you like in your life? Who do you need in your inner circle? 

I am a free-spirited creative. So, a R.O.Y.A.L “A-Type”, detailed oriented and loving friend is what I need in my life! I’m blessed to have that in Alisha Nicole. We met about 12 years ago in the CSU, Sacramento Dance program, and have been besties ever since.

Alisha’s you-niqueness and loving nature make her R.O.Y.A.L. She is a careful listener and a Godly encourager. She is creative and extremely detailed oriented. Alisha is living her R.O.Y.A.L. purpose as an event coordinator and a custom designer. I am beyond proud of my best friend.

Alisha and I linked up to custom design a ROYAL-TEE! When creating the ROYAL Affirmation T-Shirt, Alisha listened to every detail of my request. She sent multiple edits to ensure that she was accurately capturing my vision in her designs. Which she did! She even surprised me and made a version of the R.O.Y.A.L. Affirmation T-Shirt for Edyn! I am beyond happy with how the ROYAL Affirmations T-Shirts came out!  Alisha and I have made these shirts available to you in the Royal Shop.

Listen, you can’t really customize your man or your friends, but you can customize your mind by affirming Resilience, Optimism, You-niqueness, Authenticity, and Love in your R.O.Y.A.L-TEE. This will attract like minded people that you will want in your life.

What is Fenugreek? An Inexpensive Nutritional Must Have

Ya’ll the other day my chest started tightening up and it was becoming difficult…in fact PAINFULl to breath! My first thought was “Lord, please don’t let me have the Rona!” 

Goodnews!  I didn’t have the Rona, but I definitely was feeling the effects of an anxiety attack! 

The shortness of breath, tightness of the chest, and rapid heart rate were all clear signs that an old enemy was paying me a visit. 

I first met Anxiety in 2019. Work and life were overwhelming. I just started R.O.Y.A.L. Dancers, my finances were in disarray, and I was dealing with the emotional pain from the manipulation and infidelity of my ex.

I felt like the raging sea. I prayed and tried to cope with my emotions, but my body was not responding to the stress very well. While I was in the middle of teaching a small group lesson in the learning center, I started gasping for breath as my heart pounded wildly inside my chest! I mustered up the strength to instruct my students to return to their general education teacher. Then, through a foggy lens, I slowly made my way to the front office, laid on my V.P’s floor, and was escorted by the ambulance to the hospital! This was as dramatic as it sounds.

While my recent anxiety attack was not as dramatic, it left my chest feeling very sore. My doctor recommended that I take ibuprofen for the pain, but I hated this idea because these types of drugs have a negative impact on the liver. After sharing this information with my housemate-bestie, she recommended that I try some fenugreek seeds! 

Fenugreek is a native Mediterranean herb. It is  packed with nutrients and a ton of great health benefits! Check out this pinterest post from style craze.com to learn more.

My housemate-bestie was already refrigerating some soaked Fenugreek seeds in water. All l I had to do was pour some of the nutrient rich water into my cup and drink of its goodness. I did just that and within about 30 minutes my chest pain went away!  

Fenugreek seeds are very inexpensive and can be purchased in bulk at your local Sprouts Market for 38 cents per pound! That’s a pretty inexpensive way to take care of our R.O.Y.A.L selves.

It can easily be added to your everyday diet. Soak 1 tablespoon of fenugreek seeds in 2 glasses of water overnight! Filter the seeds from the water. Then drink up! Oh, and you can eat the soaked seeds! It’s an easy way to love our R.O.Y.A.L selves, especially when we are dealing with stress.

Why Seamoss Is An Essential Item In Our Kitchen

I have to tell you what happened in the kitchen!

So a couple of Friday’s ago, my housemate-bestie went into the kitchen to make a “dinner snack”...

You know what a dinner snack is! It’s the meal that you have when you don’t feel like cooking dinner! Typically, after 9 pm …lol

After scavenging the pantry, refrigerator, and cabinets she says, “ We don’t ever have two things that match! Kool-Aide. No Sugar! Peanut butter. No jelly! Ham. No burger! Dang!” Name that Movie Quote!

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME…lol

She was absolutely right, because of the Rona, we put off grocery shopping until absolutely necessary. All we had in stock were CARBS AND CHEESE! 

So, we made an impromptu cheese dip platter! Yeap! Our inner fat kids took control and we made a Creamy Cheddar Parmesan Cheese Dip. Alongside warm rosemary baguettes, crispy tortilla chips, savory chicken biscuits, baked spinach tortellini, and almonds.  It was the WORST AMAZINGNESS that had ever happened! With every glorified bite, we told ourselves that this was so bad for us. I do not remember the recipe, but that is a good thing!

CHEESE CREATES MUCUS GUYS! That’s the last thing we need in our bodies during this pandemic! Let’s not forget, because of its high saturated fats and calories, weight gain is also a side effect.

There are some benefits to eating cheese when eaten in moderation. But we ate hecka cheese...and hecka carbs! And ya’ll know what carbs can do! They’ll DRIVE OVER-EATING and INCREASE the RISK OF OBESITY! Which is the last thing I need in my life! 

In the midst of our horribly awesome dinner snack, we were both like “We are so detoxing tomorrow and we seriously need to get our lives together...after we grocery shop!” 

So amongst making several healthier choices, we have added sea moss to our diets!  

Sea moss is also known as Irish Moss. It is such a hidden treasure! It’s literally found in the sea because it is seaweed. It contains 97 of the 102 minerals of which the body is made of. That is just one of its many benefits! Its ability to dissolve fat is the number one reason why I toss it into my smoothies!
