February is one of the most busiest months of the year from celebrating Black History Month, Valentines Day, Galentines Day, Groundhogs Day, Chinese New Year, and so much more! I honestly can’t keep up, but there’s a lot of celebrations and that’s including my husband’s birthday on February 15th.

2023 is moving so fast and we still have about 6 weeks of winter left since the groundhog saw its shadow. The polar vortex is going haywire and then there’s me trying to plan out my days and what needs to get done. I’ve been focusing on deep cleaning and cooking healthier meals because when I was in New York, all the rules went out the window. I was buying take out and eating a bunch of sweets and now that I’m home, we are getting things back on track. I stopped working since the second week of January but the year is not done yet! All of the moving around I’ve been doing, I can see my face slimming down.

Don’t beat yourself up if you haven’t been on point with your goals, just continue from where you left off. We are not perfect and breaking a habit takes about 30 days. So this is me telling you, you have 10 months left to get it together. Overall, the year started rough with the passing of my grandmother in law and this teaches us all that we need to be united with our families and hopefully you guys take the time to reach out to your loved ones as well. And February is not the only month of love, every day is love. Lets not wait for February 14 to show love, tomorrow is not promised.

I haven’t been baking lately because I’ve been working on some business plans and since Valentines Day is coming up, I will share a recipe. Lets do a Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. I will have the recipe up by February 11th (the day before the super bowl).
