We are 4 women bound by blood, 3 sisters and their mother. Our goal is to help each other become the best we can be. Helping each other we can improve our intelligence, image, health, wealth, talents and abilities. We are each magical and powerful when we stand alone, but we are amazingly powerful when we stand together, and the results are out of this world. We talk about our natural hair, our weight, fashion, food, parties and living well. We make the ultimate Mother Daughter Team.
Pics are all on my Instagram. The pink pic in the middle is me in my Versace dress. I won't make it back to that weight by the party but will try. The pic to the left was taken today. Yes my pants are sagging so lost weight. Pic on the far right is me in my Chanel vintage dress earlier this year.
A friend on Facebook pointed out that a meteor shower was going on so I attempted to write this by the pool. One problem for some reason I have the Halloween jitters so I decided it was best to work inside. You know it is the stupid person in the movie who is distracted by work, phone or computer that gets killed. I will probably go back out later. Anyway it is almost time for my Family's Halloween party and I want to make sure I have a huge transformation. My transformation will not only be my costume but my skin, hair, and weight too. At least that is my goal. So today is day 9 of my Halloween Diet Transformation. I am doing Keto and low carb for now but depending on my needs the diet may change. Oddly enough I am concentrating on my arms but I haven't lost weight from there. Next Post I will have measurements for my arms. I will do 3 posts total. I am weighing myself in stone and I am not giving one of the numbers. Why? I am average height and double digits in Stones is not good looking on paper. When I drop a full stone I will announce it. If you want to see me change Day to day you need to follow me on Instagram Love Yascone as I am posting my diet for the day and a video everyday there. Note with Stone the number before the decimals are stones and the numbers after are pounds (yes like American pounds).

I was going to talk about how my family is divided between Halloween and the election. I was going to say that Mom & Faith are focused on our party. Joy is focused on making the best contacts for us and of course I am focused mainly on saving our country from the reality show American Horror Story: Election. Mom and Faith just walked into the house and guess what? They had a two hour "discussion" with a Trump supporter. Faith is vowing to not go out again unless absolutely necessary. For her, running into another Trump supporter would be a real nightmare. And there you have it, even mom (Glenda the Good) and Faith Hope, who have been the only two fighting to enjoy Halloween got pulled into this horror story today.
We have an election with a p**sy groping hand, claims that the Central Park 5 aren't innocent (even though they are), Putin digging around in American politics, and racism becoming mainstream! It is a nightmare and for a while mom and Faith did their best to keep this election in the far background of their lives. We are all voting for Clinton. We all watch the debates. I unfortunately spend almost every moment online and watching CNN and MSNBC. Don't get me wrong Halloween is like my favorite holiday. My ringtone used to be the theme song from the movie Halloween. I really wish I could relax and enjoy this time but I can't. I am worried about my beloved country. We are a proud melting pot with many beautiful holidays and traditions including Halloween. We are a divided family because we can't agree on how we need to spend our time. We are all voting but I feel we need to do more than that. The rest of My Royal Family 4 would like spend more time enjoying this beautiful Fall weather, of course they can't really because the election is everywhere and they are very concerned.
I want to have a good time but the election is literally ruining what would normally be great moments. When the four of us go out to a bar we hear awful things from these Trump supporters. When we watch the debates we scream at the TV because of the ridiculous, racist, sexist and just plain wrong things that Trump says. We are even disagreeing on how to respond to this living nightmare. I say we vote early and go to a battleground state on election day. Mom says we should vote and just live our lives. Mom and I had a major argument. She raised all of us to be active in defending our rights as women and as black women. I know that our energy will help get at least one person to vote that may have skipped the polls. I think we should be in a battleground state on election day. Joy and Faith are remaining neutral. They both think our energy needs to focus on our businesses but they also want to be part of the festivities election day.
Tomorrow is the last debate. I had planned to have a party but after the last debate I am afraid. We will watch but we may not invite people over. Then again we may. We throw last minute parties all the time. The first debate Faith made Korean food. The second debate we went to Clinton's Louisville, KY headquarters. Tomorrow we will stay home. I think the theme should be comfort food. We need some comfort right now. I intend to vote this Friday. I intend to be in a battleground state on Nov. 8, 2016. I must admit I am tired of it all. This Saturday Halloween will have my focus. I will try my best to make sure the rest of the 4 feel great and energized. I will do my best to make this nightmare of an election our best HALLOWEEN EVER! I don't know how but it starts right after the last debate and I can't wait. If I get Joy, Mom and Faith really happy maybe they will help me on Nov. 8th. I'm not asking them to work all day, just maybe 2 hours and then we'll explore the city. Maybe spread some early Holiday cheer. I added a poll asking what city we should visit, please vote. It will help me persuade them.
Let me start by saying this Halloween was and is high
maintenance this year.It is not
the decorating, we are used to that.It is not the food we have that part down!This year I made an epic mistake and ordered 12 costumes
from one company.Biggest mistake
EVER! I had to run to the store and find some dresses for each woman in my
family.HELL!!!! I have a rule, try
to buy something kind of nice for like $20-$25.I went to 5 stores before I could find anything.Yes, I could have made my costume but
this year I have run out of time.My feet hurt!My Back is
sore! My legs swollen! I fear that I have let everyone down but you know what?
I made I pretty good jambalaya (Party Food So Good You Don’t Want To Share- Halloween Goodness) tonight and I added some finishing touches to Mom
and Aunt Crystal's awesome decoration! In fact they have done such a good job
that our “costumes” will look stellar.
If you can’t think of a costume or your costume doesn’t fit
or you have hardly any money and even less time here is what you do.
1.Get a masquerade mask, witches hat or some other
prop like an eye patch.You can
get eye patches at Walgreens I think for like $4.
2.Raid your closet, H&M or Charlotte Russe and
find the cutest and/or slutiest dress, bathing suit or pajamas you can find
and put them on.FYI I did not go
for cute or slutty. (I am working
with sexy and I don’t really give a F…I am tired.)
3.And this is the most important. Surround
yourself with Halloween decorations.Pick a place that looks real Halloweenie and go.It is the environment that surrounds you that makes your
costume.
