Lailaa Woods-Green, Author At Legacy Said So

ParcelTrack This app is $2.99 (one time) and it will manage all your packages in one spot. When you pay for the premium. You can forward your emails to the app and it will automatically pull the tracking numbers out to track your packages. It will send you alerts and more. Great for this holiday time to ensure all of your packages arrive! I like this app for someone receiving packages, not for a seller who sends packages. Deskera had a great explanation of the app. Parceltrack is one of the more sophisticated tracking software out there. While most of the software is free to use, the premium version of the app offers some really good features. One such feature is that it allows the GPS based tracking of an individual delivery van through a GPS locator. It is an extra layer of security that the app provides. It also…

The Ultimate Winter Shoe You Need For Style and Purpose, Vans

December 9, 2020

You absolutely need a pair of vans for winter. It is finally here, the time of year most of us dread, WINTER. It is no longer coming, it is here. Although I don’t get out much because of the pandemic there are some occasional times I leave the house in more than joggers and Crocs. I never struggle with deciding on shoes because of the weather, you know shoes are shoes as long as they compliment your outfit, right? Vans, the perfect winter shoe I was scrolling on Twitter as I normally do and saw a deal for some Vans at a good price right up under $40. The colorway was nice and it had fur around the top of the shoe, so I pulled the trigger and bought the shoe. Dope right? Just like Crocs made me a believer, these shoes have changed the game for winter drip. This…

Find The Strengths in Who You Are Right Now

December 2, 2020

We all have strengths and we all love those things about us. I want you to be proud of exactly who you are because you are the best at being you. Yet, in being the best at being ourselves we have to consider what comes with our strengths. If you knew you could leverage your strengths to be a better version of yourself, would you want the opportunity? I’m sure like me, you would. But, to that thought, we aren’t told much about what comes with the things that are our strengths. As many of us know most things come with highs and lows, even our strengths. In this blog, we will refer to the highs of our strengths as balconies and the lows of our strengths as basements. We have to recognize that our strengths have both a high and a low. Understanding this can help us better approach…

The Best Way to Care For A ZZ Plant

November 26, 2020

Hey there, plant lovers! Are you looking for a new addition to your indoor garden? Look no further than the ZZ plant! This hardy little guy is a must-have for anyone looking for an easy-to-care-for plant that still looks great in any space. So, what’s the deal with ZZ plants? Well, for starters, they’re native to eastern Africa, where they grow in some seriously tough conditions. That means they’re able to handle a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels, making them the perfect plant for busy folks who don’t have time to fuss over their greenery. Another great thing about ZZ plants is that they’re incredibly low maintenance. They don’t need a lot of water, and they can handle low-light conditions like a champ. In fact, too much water or too much sunlight can actually harm these little guys, so it’s best to keep them in a shady spot…

Hinduism Teaches You World Religions in The Simpliest Way

November 25, 2020

Hinduism has a quote that can teach you everything you need to know about world religions and God. I will post my thoughts on what I learned while reading a world religions book by Huston Smith called “The Illustrated World’s Religions: A Guide to Our Wisdom Traditions.” He did a fantastic job of giving readers a true perspective. This book was made to show the beauty in these different religions and explore their overarching themes. The book is not intended to compare the religions to each other, be bogged down with the dogma of the religion, or even to talk about the various groups within those religions. Smith helps you understand that this book has the purpose to translate the ideas and themes of each religion to the reader in a simple form. Smith quotes Schrodinger, “If you cannot – in the long run – tell everyone what you have…

“You’ve Gained Weight” Is Not a Hello

November 21, 2020

Family, it’s that time of year again. Despite currently being in a pandemic, some of you will be traveling to see family for the holidays. This is some of the best eating we get to do all year. Whether it is friends’ events or family events, the holidays are a time to fellowship with the people you love and even some people you are supposed to love. With that being said, there are some shitty downsides to this time of year. You know the questions and pressures about dating, your job, and overall about your life. I hate it and I KNOW you hate it too. My favorite holiday greeting is “you’ve gained weight.” First of all, saying “you’ve gained weight,” “when are you going to get married,” or even “when are you having kids” is the shittiest way to greet someone. And there is no exception to this, whether…

How to Make Easy DIY Poster Frames

November 18, 2020

I have only been in my new apartment since April (2020) and I am still decorating and arranging. For me, it’s a process. I have to feel the room out, know what I want the vibe to be, and then begin piecing it together. I have a second room that I use for an office. I would like this room to have a really nerdy, man cave kind of look. I eventually plan on building a bed for this room but for now, I am decorating the walls. My friend, Lovely, took me to 5 Below one day and I grabbed a few cool posters. While walking through the checkout line I saw some poster hangers that looked pretty cool but to my surprise, they were $5, which I thought was too much for that item, especially from 5 Below. So, my wheels began to churn. I did a little…

Learn to Balance Receiving Validation From Others Now

November 14, 2020

Social media is a great place for many of us. We utilize social media and the internet to grow our businesses, connect with new people, connect with lost friends or family, enjoy events, or even dating. There are so many dope things that have come from social media. I have seen some of my friends and acquaintances grow their network, businesses, or even spread positivity and knowledge to the world. It has helped so many people find the love of their lives or even create a thriving business. Yet, social media can be the cause of negativity and hate. Social media has given everyone in the world a platform to share who they are and what they think. This is a catch 22 because on one side you have all these amazing beautiful things but on the other side who have too many people with something to say. When I…

Everything You Need to Know About The Four Agreements

November 4, 2020

Reflecting on the book “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz opened my eyes to new concepts and some concepts I already knew but from a different perspective. Don Miguel Ruiz outlines the concepts surrounding his theory of the Four Agreements. He talks about the things who make us who we are versus who we could be. This book outlines the idea that we can define who we are and the world around us. Ruiz had a simple approach to combat the things that have been instilled in us which bring us pain. I saw a lot of connections to other books and even religions I have read or learned about in my life. Ruiz starts the book by talking about who we are and where we come from in our lives. From the time we are born we are conditioned to be who we are and follow the rules…
