How I spend my Sunday.
By: Cece Hymes
On Sundays I always relax and watch some football. I love watching sports. I take Sunday off and relax. I wash clothes on Sundays. I read my bible, watch some movies and enjoy our music review panel. Sunday is a chill day.

10 ways to live a happier life
By: Cece Hymes
When you look at that title it is so many ways to live a happier life right. Some of the ways I believe are:
1.Think Positive- Now this one for me is really big. I try to stay in a positive mindset. Sometimes I get taken out of character but I try to go back to that positive side. I also try to speak positively to others. I don’t want any negative energy.
2. Do things that make you feel alive- Now for me that’s doing things I never did before going to new places and trying new things. It’s so much in the world you have never seen and done why not try different things. I am working on this. I even started a bucket list.
3. Stay away from negative people- This is a big one. I try to do this all the time. Do not complain a lot to me, You can’t mess up my vibes because that’s how you want to see the world with a negative eye.
4. Do something nice for others- You will always feel good and be happy when you help someone out the kindest of your heart.
5. Meditate- This helps me to clear my mind and think positive thoughts. It helps me wind down and it also helps me sleep. It works for me.
6. Giving Back-This works for me knowing that I am doing something in the community and not just living for just me. I love giving to the seniors, homeless and youth. I am trying to get more involved in these things. It makes me happy.
7. Music- To me music makes people happy, It can get you in the mood to smile, dance, and get in a zone. You can never go wrong with putting on some good music to take your mind off things and groove.
8. Fill your life with Love- Now who doesn’t love being loved. Someone giving you happy love, making you feel special and feel beautiful or handsome.
9. Forgiveness- Forgive the people that hurt you. You want to forgive and get that off your chest and let it go. You will live a better life. Not to hold grudges and to be at peace.
10. Vacations- I always go back to relaxing and clearing your mind. We all work hard and need a break from life, from people, and more. Getaway trips, Vacations are needed. To see the world. To relax and enjoy life. It’s a lot more to see in this world than where you stay.
These are some of the 10 things that help me live a better life. Let me know some things that make you live a better life. What are your 10 ways? Hope this helps someone.

Book: The HookUp Plan
Author: Farrah Rochon
By: Cece Hymes
This book was good. I love a good love story or should I say a happy ending. I have read a couple of books by this author. It is about three friends that met when a guy was dating all three of them. They became friends and decided to meet up on Fridays to talk, vent and catch up.
London was a hard-working lady. She worked at a hospital that she loves. She could have been in a higher position, but she loved her patients. She spoke her mind for sure. She didn’t really have a life outside of work besides meeting up with her mom and her friends. She tried to find a hobby. Her life was work, nothing really fun. She set up this class reunion and ran into her competition from high school. It’s been 15 or more years since they last saw each other.
Drew has done good for himself, he makes millions, looks good, and single. He always had a crush on London from High School but now that they are grown, he runs into his high school competition or should I say his crush. So, what supposed to turn from a one night stand turns into an agreement to just hookup. Drew always wanted more; he just really hopes London opens her eyes and really looks past the past and looks at something that can be real between them.
Come to find out the same place London works Drew has to do some work there meaning they will see each other more than expected. They both have other things going on in their life but as they spend time together, they open up to each other which is much needed. I think every relationship should start off with friends. When you are friends first a lot of things fall into place. When you can talk to your partner about everything and feel protected it goes a long way. When you have an understanding, it makes it better.
Another thing I love about this book is how real they are, how they don’t let money affect who they are. I love the London character in how she speaks her mind might sound raw sometimes but she says what she feels to her friends, boss, associates and mate. She doesn’t run from the problems she thinks about and tries to see what’s best. She may love competition, but she will tell you. Also love Drew character he knows what he wants he goes after it and doesn’t give up. He has an opportunity of love with his crush and is going to make it work even if it’s her way to start off.
It’s more to the book than just what they love, but you have to read it to see. Know that you can get some advice and tips here and there. I want to be as Bold as London, that’s for sure. Life is about chances to ask for what you want and go after it. I am all for that. Even I like how they not all in the social media world they work and are successful. They deal with real family problems. They both have a great heart and I loved the position they have and what they do for the people.

Book: The Memo: What Women OF Color Need To Know To Secure A Seat AT The Table
Author: Minda Harts
By: Cece Hymes
This book was about Color women securing the seat at a table. It lets you know sometimes that you need to step out of the box. Go to the golf courses, the happy hours and networking events. You have to get out to be put in higher positions.
We always have an excuse to not go to working events. The excuse we give is we are tired, want to watch a show, relax, etc…… We just need to go because we miss out on different opportunities and see what everyone is talking about after hours.
This book gives you knowledge gained from some of the author’s careers and what she learned. This book was not a big book at all, very simple to read. It gives advice on how to be a CEO, how to ask for more money and to take chances.
Make sure to check out this book and let me know what you think. Also join Cece Book Club on Facebook and Instagram.
Fall essentials for a cozy day in
What are some essentials to use on a cozy day? Some of the things I love is:
· Different candle smells
· Fresh seasonal flowers
· Comfy Sleepwear
· Good Tea
· Books
These are some nice things to relax and enjoy. Have a cozy night at home this should be high on your priority list. We always work all week and then wait until the weekend to unwind. Take a nice trip and get cozy. There are also a great number of people finding themselves and learning their passion.
A lot of people read and watch their T.V. shows. It’s fall you can get cozy in front of a nice fireplace, candles and relax. This is the season to relax and get cozy. Catch up with reading or watching your tv shows.
