Hello. I love you.

Hey Everybody.  I hope that everyone is staying safe and to the best of their abilities, helping someone else to stay safe as well.  I am working from home; I'm not suffering from cabin fever...yet, and working from home does pose some challenges, however I do realize I'm extremely blessed and I'm praying for my country and it's people as we navigate through all this uncertainty that coronavirus (COVID)-19 brings.  

I'm sure some geniuses saw this coming, I wish I had.  I will say though that I have learned a lot from this; one thing is when the CDC speaks, listen.  I have a great deal of respect for those scientist who work tirelessly to educate us and save lives, whether it's through creating vaccines, spreading knowledge, closing down cities, whatever!  THANK YOU.  

I'm hopeful that in time we'll heal, we just have to get over the hump.  One of those obstacles for me is social distancing. It's needed and may become mandatory so the spread of this disease can be contained, or at least kept from swiftly spreading. You just don't realize how much you miss the gathering of people and loved ones until you're not permitted to be a part of one.  I think it is most urgent especially now, that we make phone calls to check on or speak to our loved ones, our circle of friends, our associates, neighbors, colleagues, church members etc.  Download some fact to face message apps and let's show our faces.  We're all in this together now; it's no longer a one country thing  it's a global world thing.  

If you're looking for something to read, I hope you have stumbled across this message from The Diva Journals:  we are thinking about you, we love you, and we are praying for you relentlessly.  Be patient, show compassion, be kind and be safe everyone.  Much love. TDJ 

I Emptied That

Hey!  How you doing? The Diva Journals here, you know Queen She known as Me with some word rambling.  

Ever heard the phrase “I bodied that? Well today I’m using the phrase “I emptied that.”  How’d that come about?  Well here you go.

Last month I wanted to track my purchasing habits, look at what I purchased (for myself and other’s) and used during a month’s span.  So, I decided to save all the empties of what I used or consumed and at the end of the month take a photo. This month wasn’t too bad; a couple of things I will purchase again, some maybe and two I will NEVER purchase again.  I’ll let you guess which ones they are.

I won’t give a review of the products (unless you want me to, and if so request me to do so in the comments) but I will post the name of each down below.  

What I noticed is that most of my empties this month are body wash and body spray products. Heeyyyy, I smell good!  It’ll be interesting to see next month if it’s the same. 

Do you spot one of your favs?  Anything that you’re wanting to try or have tried and like or dislike?  Wanna know if I liked or disliked a certain product? Any recommendations? Comment below or email me, and we’ll chat!
