Water your garden daily

Strawbabies,

As life goes on and evolves on its axis daily. We often go through storms, trials and experience many loss. During these experiences we often loose sight of the dream or the baby that you were birthing. Sometimes you get away from the things you love and hold dear and just go into survival mode to just keep a float.

Honestly, Strawbabies that's where I have been just trying to keep a float and pass the moments until everything feels real again. I was waiting for the perfect timing to relaunch. I was waiting for the perfect timing to start blogging again. I was really just waiting to start living again. As I blog this post I am in the perfect place to start blogging again because guess what I am blogging. I have tons to catch you up on and I have even experienced some life experiences at some point Strawbabies we will talk about.

I hope everyone is living and thriving and being the best Strawbaby ever because you know we sprinkle glitter every place we go and in every moment we experience.
I also want you to know that it is possible to keep pushing and win.

My new thing that keeps me going now is "Everything attached to me wins"  I got this inspiration from a gospel singer. I feel like this song really just pushed me out there to where I need to be.

My mindset is WINNING.

My blog was a dream of mines that I blogged through my experiences and shared all these things with you. Lately, I retreated into privacy and just focused on somethings that I needed to do. I had to conquer some things, I had to lose somethings, I gained somethings. I met new people. I let some things just go. I focused on me and my family and things that I hold near and dear. I wondered at times through all of this how is all of this possible and how did I get to almost being nonexistent. I never figured that one out till this very moment. I don't know how i let so many weeds grow in my garden. I don't know why I left my garden unattended for so long. My garden um looked like a jungle. So I started weeding, watering and growing. Nurturing my garden. I had to start somewhere.

I hope this post inspires you to Water your garden daily. Its your garden. You know how you want your garden to look. You know what you would like in it. People will come to your garden and give their opinions. Even try to destroy the garden you built. You have to realize that This is your garden and you have to water it daily to SURVIVE.


I hope this song inspires you as much as it inspired me.

PS I Read Cartel 4

The book I read a couple days ago.

Yes, Strawbabies I read and my latest book was The Cartel 4 by Ashley and JaQuavis.  Now, I am anxiously waiting to get my hands on The Cartel 5.

This book was a drop off  book which means The Cartel 4 continued to lead you through The Cartel series to drop you off with no explanation to what, when or how it happened next.

The Cartel 4 is about this notorious drug family in the drug game in South Miami Beach. The Cartel 4 leads you through a journey of death, choices and unbelievable experiences but that's all apart of The Cartel family.

The Cartel 4 is the fourth book in the series, The Cartel. It is a must read for all you that are curious about The Cartel and love excitement.

Since, I read so much I have been seriously thinking about putting together a book club for all my Strawbabies that are avid readers. Information about PS The Book Club will be out soon.

So, if you want to read and love to read and would like to discuss your books with avid readers like yourself look for PS The Book Club.

Reach out to me Strawbabies @ pinkstrawberryevents2010@yahoo.com to get the latest information on the club.

The Atlantan and Sushi

Strawbabies,


Recently,  I had an opportunity to go experience sushi at RA.




RA is a Japanese chain known for its  sushi, innovative cocktails and happy hour shindigs.





RA is snugly located at 1010 Midtown near Crescent and 11th Street.

It was tons of fun. The aesthetics of the restaurant was an interior design masterpiece. The sushi was also pleasing to the tummy as well as the eye.

I would definetly go again.





If you love Sushi, this would be a great spot to try in the Atlanta area.

The Birth of A Strawberry and the SNAPBACK

Dear Strawbabies,

As I type this letter to you, it is one of gratefulness and gratitude to you guys. My Strawbabies have stayed loyal and very patient. You have traveled the journey with me and at times have checked consistently for that next blog post and I am thankful. I am appreciative of your interest in my brand. At times, I was shooting aimlessly and at times dying inside. But through it all, I managed to stand and continue working as I heal and I have strived to become a better person all around.

My brand is the evolution of  A Strawberry. My favorite fruit is a strawberry and my favorite color is pink. Strawberry + Pink = PINKSTRAWBERRY.  The Strawberry which is me in the end creates beautiful and wonderfully made works of art that is heaven sent. I have made quite a few changes that I felt were for the survival of my brand.  During the upcoming months,  it is my desire to share my vision of  PinkStrawberry Events.

My campaign is "The Birth of a Strawberry and the SNAPBACK". This campaign and snapback is dedicated to my brother Cedric Arnel Thornton "Snapper" Watch me heal as I work and create.

Thanks in advance for your continued support and loyalty. It is my desire to Birth my baby PinkStrawberry and in the process to dedicate my creative muses to CED.

As you journey with me, it is my intentions to create on another level in order to honor his transition and my dedication to my healing process to overcome.

I would like to show my Strawbabies that Love Conquers all Hatred and a Strawberry can grow through cultivation and perseverance.

Sincerely,
Carlynn Thornton Melvin

Chanel Inspired

Hey Strawbabies,,
So this is my true inspiration for my house from start to finish. I am so excited about the look and I can't wait for you guys to see the outcome. So, please stay tuned and watch me transform my sanctuary. Any home you have whether it is a room, studio, apartment, penthouse, house or mansion should be worth swooning over. Just take the time to make your home your own. Whatever space you have, can be transformed and made dreamy with a little love, tender and of course planning.
You can start your dream home right where you are. First you have to learn how to take care of the things that are in your possession. Once you figure that out and mastery those skills only then will you be rewarded with more.
A garden or your life will never grow without water, sunlight, love and care. Think of this when you think of everything that belongs to you Strawbabies. Your possessions should be a reflection of everything you have touched.  Is it good or do you need to step it up a little? Well Strawbabies, I wanted to step it up a little.
Tell me what you think of the inspirations I got from www.zgallerie.com.





Send me your pictures to post of your before and after to let me see where you started. Maybe I should do a home challenge.

It's so easy to get shuffled in life's obstacles and the everyday troubles. Sometimes your focus can be lost and your path stirred in a totally different direction. This past year Strawbabies has been a very trying time. I am proud to say that you guys were never far from my heart and thoughts. I eat and breathe PinkStrawberry. My circle is just a little bit tighter because of PS.

Art, Baking, Fashion, and anything pretty is what I love...

I have found new loves and new hobbies that created a new business venture for me that I am happy to share with you.

Look out world......Pinkstrawberry Events is in the City!!!!
