    Q. The one that got away?

    I met this guy when I was young and he was Spanish. He was really cute and the conversation was great. We would go to the mall, and he was just perfect. I moved away and I think about him sometimes and I just felt like he was the one that got away. I think If I stayed in touch and didn’t move we would have been fine.

  • The Psychology of Money Book by Morgan Housel

    Book: The Psychology of Money

    Author: Morgan Housel

    By: Cece Hymes

    This book was a book that teaches you timeless lessons on wealth, greed and happiness. It gives you examples of thinking. Instead of thinking to be rich, think to be wealthy.  It teaches you about money, investing, personal and business finances.

    When I read this book, I got to thinking like someone can say I am broke but spend 10 dollars a day on the lottery on a chance of winning between 1 out of billions of people. Instead of thinking like that when you can spend 10 in stock or just 10 a month on life insurance. It also makes you think about how people can be broke or say they broke but spend 200 dollars on Jordans but not 200 in marketing for their business. We have people that will spend 1000 dollars on a meet & greet with celebrities or concerts V.I.P. but will not spend 1000 on great motives.

    This book opens your eyes to think about spending wisely. Us as people are taught wrong and our priorities are not right. So, I wrote down a list of things I am going to work on and also need to change my way of thinking.

    Let me know what you thought of this book and also make sure to Join Cece Book Club on Instagram and Facebook.

    Interview with Shaquita Cheeks

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. When did you start Modeling?

    A. I have been modeling officially for over a year now, but the world has been a runway in my mind since birth.

    Q. Who inspired you?

    A. It was not a person that inspired what honestly it was the fact that I was doubted that inspired me.

    Q. Why did you want to model?

    A. The reason behind me wanting to model was because when I was growing up in a rough part of Washington D.C. I wasn’t always viewed as beautiful, yet alone I would have never seen myself as a model. I had really low self esteem and I would get picked on because my butt was too big or the gap I had in my teeth. I become a model to show other girls out there they can do it no matter what anyone thinks. Our creator made us all perfect and the sooner we embrace made us all perfect and the sooner we embrace that the greater we will feel about ourselves.

    Q. What inspiration words would you give to someone who wants to get into modeling?

    A. I would tell them patience and dedication. Modeling is so much more than pretty pictures and nice makeup. It is a lot of hard work. It takes a lot of practice and discipline. Also, there are a lot of manipulators and creeps out there that are going to try to exploit you and you have to know how to say no. Majority of the time if it sounds too good it is because nothing in the industry is handed to you.
