Cute accessories always help bring out your outfit and pull it all together.
I truly believe that if you put your goals in writing, speak them out loud and work for them, they will happen.
I think cool moments like winning a Grammy deserve a nice little party where you really soak it in and not have to work and stuff. I do remember throwing a party on that Grammy night, but it was work.
My journey has been a very fun one because I've chosen to make the best of every challenge that I've had along the way no matter what.
Sometimes you have to stop to think, regroup and regather yourself and realize how lucky you are to still be living and to still be breathing and still be able to even have a chance.

If you don't embrace who you are and accept who you are, you won't be able to live a happy life.
As we get older, it's important for us to help hand back some of what we've gained as we've grown older. It should be one of your responsibilities - it's almost like being a mentor.
Everyone loves to dance. I've realize that's a part of what I do more and more every day.
I love shopping! I'm impatient though. I'll go to the mall and in 30 minutes be ready to go.
A lot of people don't realize that when you're trying to lose weight, or just trying to stay fit, 85 percent of it is what you eat, and 15 percent of it is how you work out.
Dancing - however you do it, even if it's in your living room - is a great workout.
More than anything, I realize I've been blessed to make great music.
Usher is amazing. He's perfection to me as a performer. He gets down.

It's one thing to really dream and have a vision and want all these cool things, but it's a whole other thing when you actually have wisdom and understand things. Then you can truly make the best decisions.
Being a mom has affected me in the greatest way possible - and in a necessary way. Having my son has helped me to be grounded, and I feel like with a child you have to really think about things all the way through.
I was so driven that sometimes you don't recognise all the good things that are happening to you.
I think that when you become a mom... you don't really worry about the small stuff. I'm just way more centered. It makes you focus even more on what your goals are in life.
I want to be one of those moms and women that when I look back, I know that I always stayed focused.
Before I had a child, I had goals. And I still have to accomplish those goals, but now that I have a child, I have more goals to accomplish. So I can't waste time.
Everything in life is about timing. I've been able to have my experiences and learn from them and kind of figure out the thing that works for me and is best for me, and that's all I can really say.

Having a child with someone, you're always going to be respectful of that. But the song 'I Bet' was honestly inspired by my life experiences - I can't just say it's from one experience.
You can either allow social media to be helpful for you or it can be harmful. I like to let it be helpful.
There are some songs where you're like, 'I really like this song,' and it just didn't work out how you thought it would. That's life. You win some, you lose some. You can't dwell on it. I can't be worried about the past.
I believe in allowing your child to be who they want to be - as long as they want to be something great.
You don't know your child until they get here; you don't know their personality.
I don't want to sound too cocky. But I consider myself superwoman.
My mom and I don't have a lot of photos of my early years.
You know the best part of being a mom is getting that love. Honestly, you know, my son's love... a child's love is so pure, it just makes you feel so good no matter what.
When I start training, I get very serious and focused about it. I probably train 4-5 days a week, and I eat probably eat 5-8 small meals a day to keep my metabolism going.
Being a mom, I am even more inspired to really help make a difference. I can't imagine what it would be like if my child didn't have a meal to eat.
My mom is one of those women... she don't take no mess. She is very vocal about what she wants and what she doesn't want.
I think 'One Woman Army' sums up the overall picture. I talk about love, about life, and I talk about what I want and would hope for and what I need as a woman. It kind of just says it all, you know?
