Press Waffle Co. Brunch at Legacy Hall — Press Waffle Co. at Legacy

Yesterday, my friend and I graced Sephora with our presence and our money lol. We started the day with brunch at Press Waffle Co. in Legacy Hall. The food was delicious. I got the Southern Belle Waffle which I 10/10 recommend.

Then, we took a detour to Sephora to get some products.

Now that spring and summertime are approaching, I am committing myself to get out of the house more and enjoy the vibes. I am so happy that the vaccines are out. Once I get vaccinated, I will feel more comfortable going out. It is crazy to think that we have been stuck in the house for a year. I hear the roof-top bars calling me all spring and summer long.

This season I want to spend more energy up-leveling my look, so I purchased some makeup and skin-care products to enhance my look. I have always admired women who can effortlessly slay their makeup. One day, I am going to get to that level, so I am going to start now.

Okay, first off let me start by saying I apologize for going MIA. I have just been overwhelmed by the number of changes that I have occurred in my life since August 2019. Most of them really good except for the fact I damaged my big toe (it no longer bends anymore and got a cyst on my shoulder (which is so ugly to look at), I am trying not to stress over it. I will be honest those two things are making me really sad. However, there has been some good news.

Posted on February 23, 2021February 9, 2022 by DeAndreaAshanelle

In April 2020, I started creating monthly financial goals to accompany my budget to help me stay motivated. There is something about being able to cross out the goals that you have achieved at the end of the month.

The reason creating these goals can be super beneficial is because it gives you something to strive for. When you create a budget, it is easy for that information to become just numbers on a page. By creating these goals you can accomplish by sticking to your budget it switches something in your brain and makes your budget more meaningful and tangible.

My First Week as A Door Dash Driver

Posted on February 22, 2021February 9, 2022 by DeAndreaAshanelle

This will be my first week as a Door Dash Driver 01/31/2021-02/06/2021. It is a new side hustle that I am adding to my arsenal. Originally, I planned to use this job to make an extra $50 a month.

However, I am planning to do more than that. Depending on how my first week goes, I will try to make $10,000 this year through DoorDash. With this extra income, I will use a portion to fund the $50 investing challenge created by Invested Millennial, a portion set aside for taxes, tithes, and the remaining to pay extra to my student loan debt.
