YOU NEVER GET A SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION

About Me



♥ I was born in Washington D.C. and raised in Baltimore Maryland. I'm currently living in Chandler Arizona and I've been here for the last two years. I'm a 35 year old single mom with brown hair and blue eyes. I'm veryyyyy tiny and petite. One of my nicknames? Itsy Bits! Another one? Small Fry! (lol)

♥ My name is Jewels. Well, Juliet (aka) Jewels and don't you dare try telling me that your name is Romeo :) I've got two adorable children who are the light of my life. Sabrina is fifteen and Brandon is ten. They definitely keep me on my toes and are part of the reason I'm in such great shape.

♥ I'm a very passionate and fun loving girl who will try almost anything once. I'm blunt, upfront and honest which is something alot of people can't seem to handle now-a-days. I'm extremely outgoing and i looooove to laugh and have fun! It doesn't take alot to make me happy. I'm a small girl from a small town so respect and a genuine attitude is what means the most. I'm like a sponge. Trying to absorb as many life experiences as possible. I'm not high maintenance or materialistic at all. As a matter of fact, I'm probably one of the most down to earth females you'll ever get to know and meet. To me, it's the "little" things that matter and i think it's sooooooo important to stop and smell the roses. I try and stay grounded which can sometimes be tough. Living so close to Scottsdale (aka) Snottsdale has been quite the challenge. It's considered to be one of the most superficial cities in town. That's why having "Jewels-Time" is so important to me :)

♥ I've got one of the biggest hearts around and i would do anything for anyone i care about. Besides reading and writing, one of my greatest passions is helping other people. I'm the kind of girl who believes that you can "fix" what's broken and that everyone really does deserve a second chance. I get the biggest smile on my face and the cutest crinkle in my nose knowing that I've made some kind of difference. I live for making other people happy and i try to make sure that those who are lucky enough to be a part of my life, always feel secure and safe :)

♥ Yes, I'm the girl who's known for moving a worm off the sidewalk so that some little kid doesn't run it over with their bike and yes, i have trouble going to pet stores or shelters because I'm also the girl who's known for falling "in love" at first sight :) I do stop my car and pull over whenever i see a homeless person on the street, but I'm trying really hard to work on that. I'm the funniest girl i know and it takes alot to make me unhappy. I'm always smiling and giggling which is such an adorable thing :)

♥ I treat others the way i would like to be treated and even though sometimes it doesn't work out that way, i will always continue to do so. Why? Because it's important :) I like people with manners and who know how to be polite and i can't stand people who are rude and manipulative! I believe in karma and i also believe that what comes around goes around. It's just a matter of time before you get what's coming!! (lol)

♥ One of the Ten Commandments: "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU" is soooooo true as far as I'm concerned. I've come to the realization that everything really does happen for a reason and i strongly believe that people cross our paths during a time when it's needed. The most important thing in my life is my family and friends. I will trust you unless you give me a reason not too and when that day comes, ya better run and run fast!!! (ha ha) I'm more then willing to let you in my world, but you only get one chance, sooooooo don't do anything to mess it up. I'm very blessed and grateful for the life that I've got and for the things that i have and i thank God everyday because of it. I never take anyone or anything for granted. Why? Because life's too short :)

♥ I'm a lover not a fighter and I'll do whatever it takes to prevent a negative "vibe" at all costs. To me, communication is key and laughter is the best medicine. I'm human so yes, I've made mistakes and sometimes I've even made some really bad choices. Dumb decisions and acting on impulse are all a part of my past, but i have absolutely NO regrets at all what-so-ever because those are the things that have made me a part of who i am today. If i could have one wish it would be for people to remember me as a really good person. A sweetheart so to speak :) Sometimes I'm misunderstood but that's okay with me, just as long as i stay true to myself. After all, i am my favorite person :)

♥ I think of myself as being lucky in love even though I'm currently single and i know that all of my past relationships have taught me some kind of lesson. We live and learn from our mistakes and people do say that when one door closes another one opens :) I'm sensitive, loving, caring, dedicated and creative but unfortunately, sometimes my kindness is mistaken for weakness. Don't worry though. I'm learning rather quickly how to become a real bitch!! (lol)

My Interests

ANYTHING PINK!!!!

Bubble baths! It's my home away from home. Calgon take me away :)

Dancing! Dancing! Dancing! Annnnd more dancing! I love all different kinds of dance. Jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, modern and most importantly belly. Just call me Shakira would ya please :) You name it. I do it. I've taken dance most of my life (started when i was 3) and for me it's the most stimulating way to express myself. It brings out alot of my personality which is why I'm so animated and expressive. Dancing is definitely one of my greatest obsessions :)

Dark chocolate! Can't get enough of it. I'm a female. What did you expect?

Day dreaming! It brings out the creativity in all of us :) Especially on a warm & sunny afternoon while staring at the clouds.

Fitness and working-out! They go hand in hand as far as I'm concerned. I feel naked if i don't try and hit the gym everyday. I'm always interested in improving myself both physically and mentally so using those weights & machines feels absolutely wonderful and it's a GREAT way to start my day!

Football!! Best sport out there. Trust me :)

Hot chocolate! Ummmmmmm don't even get me started :) I'll admit it. I'm addicted. A hot cup of cocoa (caramel flavored) or a trip to my local Starbucks is one of my biggest weaknesses :)

Long talks! I've got a comment for everything and i love hearing people tell me their stories and listening to what they have to say. My friends back East call me the "Energizer Bunny" because when it comes to verbalizing myself..... i keep going and going and going and going and going! (lol)

People watching! Pretty self explanatory don't ya think?

Reading! There's nothing like a good book to challenge your mind. It's the perfect way to escape from reality or just to learn a thing or two. Knowledge can be a very powerful thing :)

Writing! One of my greatest passions of all!!! I can literally write my ass off :) Can't you tell? (wink) Once i start i just can't stop. In grade school (way back in the day) i used to get into trouble with the teacher because my book reports were wayyyyyyy too long instead of not long enough!! (ha ha)

Scented candles! Ambiance is an understatement. The smells that come from a scented candle are enough to drive me wild :) The glow, the colors, the warmth, the comfy/cozy feeling! Ahhhhhhhhh!!

Flowers! Something so beautiful should be appreciated by everyone. Especially pink and red roses :)

Sharks! Scared to death of them which is why they interest me. Actually, fascinate me is more like it. I had a VERY SCARY experience one summer, a few years back, while i was at the beach with my family. I was 9 years old and playing in the ocean when a school of dolphins went swimming by. I of course had nooooooo idea that they were dolphins because i wasn't paying any attention. Next thing i know, i turn around to see a fin sticking up out of the water, literally only feet in front of me. OH MY GOD!! Talk about being scared to death!! I froze and couldn't move. My dad had to come and "fish" me out. Whew!!! Thanks dad :)

Spooning! No explanation needed :) Wanna spoon with me?????????

The beach! The sand, the fresh air, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, the wind, the seashells...... the hott guys playing volleyball!! (lol)

Sushi! Yummy!!!! I'm always interested in knowing how people can eat it and never get sick.

Thunderstorms! Loooooove them!! They're comforting but crazy. Scary but mesmorizing. Definitely different and unique. Mother nature amazes me :)

Ultimate Fighting Champions! Tito Ortiz annnnd Ken Shamrock baby!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'd like to meet:



My biological grandparents. I was adopted at 3 weeks old and was never given the chance or the opportunity to get to know them or meet them. It would be nice learning about my family tree.

The man who saved my son from choking. I have nooooooo idea who he is or where he came from. He's my guardian angel who just so happened to be at the right place at the right time :) He was a stranger helping a stranger and then disappeared without a trace. I would LOVE the opportunity to thank him.

My "secret admirer" who has been leaving me flowers at my front door but who has never left me a note explaining it.

And last but certainly not least......

I would like to meet all of those people who have taken the time to talk about me behind my back, but who don't have the balls or the respect to say the same things directly to me!!!!

Oh and let's not forget.......

Those of you who have listened to all of the bullshit and the lies and who have judged me because of it, i wanna meet you too. I wanna give you the chance to see for yourself, first hand, that I'm NOTHING like the person people have tried to make me out to be :)

JEALOUSY IS A SICKNESS!!! HOPE YOU GET BETTER REAL SOON!!!

Music:

Anything and everything!!

Honestly :)

Just as long as it puts a smile on my face and a warmth in my heart. Ohhhhh and a reason to jump up and shake my boo-tayy!! (lol)

I think certain songs reflect certain feelings in almost everyone. Music can be such an amazing thing :)

*PET PEEVES*

1) People who get into the "express" line at the grocery store and who have more then 12/15 items. Do you think they let you go first?
2) People who get into the "express" line at the grocery store who have the required 12/15 items but who "all of a sudden" forgot something and leave the line to go and get it. Do they tell you to go ahead and get in front of them so you don't have to wait?
3) Pulling up to the drive thru at a fast food restaurant just in time for the person on the speaker box to say: "I'll be with you in a minute" Is it ever just a minute?
4) Pulling up to the drive thru at a fast food restaurant, waiting in line forever, finally getting your turn, just in time for the speaker box to be broken and you're not able to hear anything they say. Do you think they fix it once you tell them it's broken?
5) Pulling up to the drive thru at fast food restaurant and waiting for the car in front of you for what seems like hours because their food isn't ready yet. Do they pull forward so you can pick up your order and be on your way?
6) People who ride your bumper on the highway when you're already driving in the fast lane. I came up with a pretty good bumper sticker for people like that: UNLESS YOU'RE A HEMORRHOID GET OFF MY ASS!!
7) People on the road who do something wrong like cutting you off and then who have the balls to honk their horn at you like you were the one making the mistake. (Niceeeeeeeeeeeee)
8) Pulling into a crowded gas station and not seeing any vacant pumps. "OoPpSs i see one" and then driving around the corner, pulling up next to it just in time to see a sign that says: "Out of order"
9) Opening a public door for a total and complete stranger and then watching them walk right in without stopping for a second to say: "thanks"
10) People who spit out their gum on the sidewalk!!
11) People who park their cars in a "handicapped" parking space when they aren't "handicapped" at all!!
12) People who "butt" in line at a department store and then act like you didn't see them!!

Books:

365 ways to orgasm :)
(kidding)
I LOVE self help books! Anything to better the mind, body and soul. Anything that helps me become a better person. Anything that helps me grow :)
One of my favorite writers is:
Greg Behrendt. He's very real and honest. He "tells it like it is" whether you like it or not!
Two of my favorite books by him are:

1) It's called a break-up because it's broken

2) He's just not that into you
Joel Osteen is pretty interesting as well. He's someone i just started learning about. A friend of mine introduced me and I've gotta admit, he has an amazing outlook on life and why he thinks we're all here :) He's been called the man of "new age" religion. He doesn't "preach" to you or "tell" you what you should and shouldn't believe in or what you should and shouldn't do, he just tries to teach you between right and wrong :)
I love love loveeeee magazines! Most of the time, you WILL catch me with a magazine in hand :)
Some of my favorites:
* Redbook
* Oprah
* Cosmopolitan
* Sports Illustrated
* Good Housekeeping
* People
* Vanity Fair
* Fitness
* In Style
* The National Inquirer!!
Top of my list?
Maxim :)

Heroes:

All of our troops who fight for our country. All of those women and men who risk their lives every single day trying to make our world a better place.

The law enforcement officers and the firefighters who take nothing but chances in order to make our lives safe.

The single mom's who work two and three jobs just to make ends meet.

The disabled and the sick who strive all the time to try and get better.

The minorities of this country who were never given a fair chance and who never gave up hope.

But most of all more then anything........

The innocent children who make us feel whole and who give us a reason to get out of bed in the morning :)
