You can fall in love…but can you stay there???

It’s easy to fall in love but can you stay in love? That seems to be a burning question right now and I’m here to tell ya, it  won’t be easy! I’m very upfront about love and relationships because I have had my challenges with this and I’m not gonna lie! It makes me the woman that I am today.

I heard Artist Monica say, stop judging me for the woman I am and help me become the woman I’m trying to be! That was real for me honey , it stuck to me like swimwear lol. OK that’s valuable information and I don’t take that for granted!

That’s what I feel at times especially when in a relationship unless a person shows and prove that they aren’t judgmental. I’m not bragging at all, I have a great husband that loves me and doesn’t judge me or treatment unjustly if I make a mistake.

I’ve been through a lot in my life but it’s helped me to be better at relationships and pay attention to things such as relationships and not carrying baggage into a new relationship. You gotta drop those bags and keep it moving. We have to go in to a relationships fresh and without anything on the scale.

You can’t balance and empty scale you just have to let it play out. Don’t be judgmental and don’t compare the old to the new because in essence, it’s the same thing. You got to be open to the things that are being presented to you and that does not mean everything either!

Take it from me go into it open late and have fun you don’t necessarily need to tie down with somebody to still spend that quality time with them. Take your time when your options because when you’re single you can do that and when you’re committed you shouldn’t even be thing about that lol!

Need a new smart phone…check this out!

I Wireless has a great deal going right now where you can port your current phone number over and get a $.75 smart phone, that’s right 75 cents! I stopped in to see what all the buzz was about and yes that’s the current promotion and it took about ten minutes to complete the process, plus I got to keep my old phone.  I also got a fee month of service consisting of unlimited talk text web & data 4G LTE all at the I-Wireless Kiosk in the Hyvee Grocery store located SE 14th St and Park Ave in Des Moines, IA.

Meet Ian, he’s awesome at his job not to mention he’s just a super nice guy in real time! Yep I said real timeđź‘Ź.  I don’t know how long this deal is going to be around but I sure jumped on it quick fast and in a hurry! Hey go see Ian, he’ll take care of ya!

Here’s what I’m watching!

I’ve definitely been watching the political news! And let me tell ya…sometimes it’s hard to watch  Im not kidding I’m just observing the drama from afar because I need to make sure that I don’t unfairly draw any conclusions especially when you don’t have all the facts yet!

Is it possible that this situation could get any worse than it already is! But I’m not going to get into that because that is too touchy of a subject. Hey I ready know that’s why I’m staying far away from anything dealing with that in conversation because it’s nobody’s business who you’re voting for!

In other news I’ve been checking out love and hip-hop Atlanta lately and I’ll tell you it got really nuts this season. So that’s one thing that I’ve been keeping up on and you can find more information on my site just click on Backroom Tea from the menu.

We are deep into Games of silence (we absolutely love the show)! This is why network TV is still alive…they always find a way to save the day with an awesome show like this. I don’t want to give away anything so I’m not going to tell you where I’m at as far as watching it.

But I will say that this show is on my top ten must see shows!

Customer service at Walmart SE 14th St Des Moines, IA

I jokingly refer to Walmart as the zoo because sometimes it’s crazy busy and out of control.  But today, I was in horrible shock when I witnessed a very unprofessional customer service associate humiliate a visually impaired customer in front of customers.  I’m sorry but if you don’t like your job you should find another one!

Let me break it down for you!

  1. I stopped in to return something and the associate Michelle was smacking on gum like a cow and had much attitude( how unprofessional is that). She then proceeded to tell me that I had to go return my item at the electronics department so I did.
  2. I went to the electronics department and was redirected back to customer service because apparently nobody knows what’s going on!  Instead of going back to customer service I found a manager named Vivian who was awesome and took care of me. I was really impressed with her customer service and patience dealing with people.
  3. But Michelle on the other hand was rude, disrespectful, non-empathetic and unprofessional! I tried hard to ignore her but I couldn’t and it was very difficult to endure her behavior.  I was horrified and appalled!
  4. The guest had expired identification and was clearly unaware of this as she rumbled through his wallet and then humiliated him in front of a line of people saying that his credentials expired 26 years ago. I’m not sure why it was necessary to divulge that information aloud let alone the way she spoke to the guest! It’s true that he didn’t have proper documentation but this is clearly a situation that could’ve been handled better.
  5. After I received my refund I told the manager that helped me that something needs to be said to her about her unprofessional behavior and the smacking of gum in front of customers.  I attempted to talk to a different manager but he put me on hold! Which led me to write about it!

Needless to say I probably won’t be stopping in that Walmart again…I’ll just drive out of my way for better customer service!!!

Until next, with Chocolate on top!

Starting my blogging journey over!

I started my journey as a blogger over for a lot of reasons. One of the main reasons is because it was controlled by someone else. And let that be a lesson to not get involved with some shady characters selling you information that they are also giving away for free on YouTube!

I felt really stupid and taken advantage of especially when these are things that I could’ve researched for free. Some folks are just greedy for no reason! But you’ll have that!

When I confronted the group they basically took over my website changed the password and I never had access to my so-called website again. I didn’t let that deter me, I took a mental break from that negativity. But I’m back for the challenge again!

This has been a learning experience for me but I would say don’t let that stop you! Keep going because there’s always some good people out there to help you.

This actually fueled my fire even more to do it on my own and to make sure that I include my resources so that the proper folks are credited and hopefully it helps someone.

One thing that I did was to signup for updates and started following a few legit bloggers and entrepreneurs on social media for tips and tricks that they use to help them with blogging.

I get google now cards on all of my mobile devices and it caters to my interests on blogging tips and tricks and ways to earn extra cash!
