Financial Wellness - Work on Your Retirement Fund

Retirement is a topic that most 16-19 year olds don't think about. But if they follow through with monetizing the content that they are already putting out as discussed in this article, they can get an early start on securing their financial future. This strategy is useful for other age groups also. Read more about it in Brandon Tucker's blog, Work on Your Retirement Fund.

Sorry for the Temporary Absence of...

A lot of the posts lately have been just the Daily Deals, but don't think that I'm not busy creating new valuable content similar to the 2010 video embedded in the Brazilian Keratin Treatment post. Here are a few of the things you can look forward to in the near future:

  • There will be a series of posts chronicling my process and the results of a hair treatment I'm formulating.
  • A how-to series for the ladies on creating your own 15 minute face, from cleansing to out the door.
  • Budget and savings advice.
  • A new fragrance of the month.
  • Possibly an interview or two...
As always, if there's something in particular you want to know about about in the realm of wellness, email me at EClassVentures@gmail.com and you may just see it featured.

Introducing B & K Fashions

One of my former co-workers from our cubicle days at an insurance company that shall remain nameless (LOL) has founded her own business.  She always showed up to work with the hottest shades and purses. Here's a pic of the Chanel bag I scooped up.



 And yes if you're wondering it is a real Chanel bag! (See the front of the Certificate of Authenticity.)


 Check out what she's offering now on B & K Fashions most recent flyers!

Getting Fit with P90X - The First Week back

I've tried doing P90X before. The first time I started during the school year (in my day gig I'm a public school teacher). I ended up hurting so badly that I decided to wait until the summer time.

During the summer I did well until I got my floors remodeled. (If you're looking to get your floors done, try C. Harris Int'l Flooring.) After that was done I decided that working out and cleaning my entire house of the sawdust residue was doing two workouts daily. Also, it's really, really hot in Florida during the summer and electricity is costly, lol. Interpret that however you want.

At any rate here's a quick rundown of the first week:
Day 1 - December 3rd Didn't do anything
Day 2 - Did two workouts; the one from day 1 Core Synergistics and day 2 Cardio X
Day 3 - Did nothing again
Day 4 - Did Shoulders & Arms. From previous experience I know Ab Ripper X is too intense for me. I meant to  do Yoga X later that night but it is incredibly long.
Day 5 - Did Legs & Back. Once again I did not do Ab Ripper X. Maybe I'll try to during Week 3.
Day 6 - I was supposed to do my favorite workout, Kenpo X, today, but personal problems got in the way (ughh!).
Day 7 - This day of the program is actually designated as a rest day or you can do the Stretch X dvd. I chose and will most likely always choose to rest.

In the future expect daily and more detailed posts. The program recommends their fitness drink; I found a comparable product found at Whole Foods. Check back for more details!

Authentic Me's Sister Circles

This past Saturday night I had the pleasure of attending one of Authentic Me's Sister Circles. One of my coworkers informed me about the one she attended in April and immediately I knew I had to go to the next one. From her description, the event was exactly what I had been wanting to find. Women coming together not to gossip and tear down but to inspire and uplift one another.



Well the May event did not disappoint. The topic was Men but no fellas it was not an all-night hatefest. It was a discussion of how each person determines the relationships that they have. This is something that I'm a firm believer in. A woman who feels that her man is unattentive, neglectful or even, dare I say, abusive is only in that situation because she allows it to exist. A person can only treat you the way you allow them to treat you.

We also discussed how fear keeps you from taking a risk or making a necessary change in your life.

Keep tabs on Necey at her blog!
