Have you ever been around someone that down plays everything you love or have done in your life only to find out that they did that because they never was given the opportunity to do it. But as soon as the opportunity presented itself they jumped right on it. Total hypocrite. I know what I want and how I want it and if it hasn’t happened for me yet, I claim it, see it and it eventually it will manifest while complementing you in the process.
Never will I ever act like I don’t want something that someone has just to justify me not having it. It’s ok to want to live like a princess and live happily ever after…Cinderella didn’t have a smoothe ride, but it panned out in the end.:)
Tip of the day: No need to be jealous an down play anyone else… Your time will come…BELIEVE
I’ve been wanting to wear this dress and was suppose to wear it to my friends KL’s bday party but got caught up working later than expected. Decided to throw it on and go to dinner with my babies. The weather was perfect in the valley last night{74*}. I’m defiantly gonna wear this to next party I get invited to cause I love it.
Wearing: Milly Dress, gifted booties, Nikki Jaggs belt, LV bag.
great message and i really love the shoes and necklace your wearing!
~nic
I absolutelyLOVE those booties!! Super Cute & OHHH……what a GREAT message!
Love the colors
Simply GORGEOUS! Pretty.
Love it (as usual)! I really like the colors and fit of this dress! I like the booties too. A great party dress! As for your message, I can honestly say I think I might be guilty of doing this from time to time :(. Sometimes I think I make myself believe I don't want certain things just because I don't have them yet (i.e. marriage, kids, my own business). Need to check that! Thanks for the inspiring words.
You are so beautiful and very inspirational, I get so much courage and comfort from reading your post. It is a blessing to see such a nice confident women who knows what she wants and go after it….. I am inspired and touch every time I read your blog I just want to say Thank you and keep up the great work.

Loving it keep it coming girl!!!
So true you must claim what you want and let it manifest there is
enough for everyone in the entire World to have what they desire
NO excuses. There is no need to be jealous if you see something
&& want it…GO GET IT!
It's easy for "SIS" to say that because she probably has what you have all the nice clothes shoes the whole lifestyle
But wut any those of us who don't its easier said that done. That's the truth.
Iam so happy you are back posting… Tanya stay blessed and keep it coming… Love your style. You are so beautiful and very inspirational, I get so much courage and comfort from reading your post. It is a blessing to see such a nice, pretty, confident women who knows what she wants all of your reader feel like we no you! have a great day
Hi Tanya,
I hope you are doing great!! Love that colorful dress!! You give me inspiration to dress the way I like and not care what anyone thinks!! I have been told that I am "too old" to walk around in my colorful outfits and I have a "real job" now so I need to tone it down…but I REFUSE!!! I will walk into a meeting with all department heads and the director of operations, CEO etc.. wearing a vintage polka dot dress and sky high red heels and feel comfortable about myself! And it is YOU that gives me the confidence to do this 🙂 My unique colorful style is not going anywhere and seeing all your fab outfits is motivation to keep me going. I think we should all wear what makes us feel good and that is clearly what you do. Being mature and professional doesn't have to mean you limit your wardrobe to black and gray!! LOL!! Love it!!! And as for your post, it is on point as usual. I do often admit in front of others that I want to do certain things that I have not yet had a chance to experience, or my life may not permit for certain things that I used to do at this moment. I have no shame to say what I want, what I dont have etc… no matter who is listening. I have even had close friends ask why I am comfotable speaking on something I want and can't/don't have in front of others, but I feel much better being honest about my wants and expressing how I am going to get there than secretly hating on a person then turning out to be a hypocrite…. Thanks so much for sharing this!!! So many of us are inspired by you!!! Keep the Fashion and Inspiring words coming!!
@ just being me- maybe you should get a little more positive and focus your energy on being nice. Nice things is only the surface. Work on yourself on the inside and I promise the rest will come. I will pray for you. FYI: my play sis that left me that message is a sweet young 19 year old girl with a dream that's all. Please don't discourage that. My site is encouraging no matter how hard it gets stay positive.
@ jussBE'nME
I agree with Tanya's message to you. Believe me having a good life is not only based on nice clothes and shoes…Just like they are acquired they can be taken away. Believe me I know. There have been times in my life where I didn't have anything, but was content because I had all the things money cant buy…and I have had money to do what I wanted but didn't have what really matters in life. Now I am at a point where I can say I want it all and I am dillignetly working towards it. Nice things are just on the surface… being a good, beautiful person starts on the inside and I am sure that the world has limitless possibilities for you. Stay focused and go after what your heart desires. Visit Tanya's site regularly and she is always on point with her inspirational messages. very few of us are just handed luxuries, but I will pray for you and I hope that whatever it is that you desire you will achieve. There is a quote that I live by and it has proven itself to be true over and over again "the wildest dreams all have a chance when someone dares to try" and I believe in this 100%. You have the potential to obtain and accomplish ANYTHING! No it may not be easy, but it is realistic. I wish you the best of luck at whatever you are doing. And if you are going through a rough patch, Tanya can provide you with life changing advice and motivation! Stay positive, develop a relationship with God and stay motivated and the world is yours 🙂
@JussBE'nME
What does Tanya and her blog have to do with living in "some dreamy fantasy" and making things "look like what they are not" ???? That's what's wrong with this world… To many negative people!!! She is who she is and believes what she believes in, and takes her time to share with her readers. I think it would be SUPER easy not to visit "Majormusthaves.com" and keep your negative vibes.
Tanya~
You know that I admire the way you have the gift of mixing pieces together that I would never think to do on my own! You look fabulous and your smile is beautiful because it comes from within.
@ jussBE'nME~
I do not know you or your circumstances but I feel like you are not choosing to have the right attitude about yourself which is affecting the way you look at others. You are judging Tanya by what you see but her clothes and whatever lifestyle you may think she has does not define the woman that she is. If you want to know how rich you are please count all the blessings you have that money can NOT buy. Positivity and a happy outlook does not come through material possession. True happiness comes from within. It is your choice to embrace what attitude you want to have. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Be in charge of your attitude 🙂
All this back && fourth blah blah blah….let me keep it simple…ya'll got money probably from ya'll man and "SIS"
Has YET to comment so we can keep this between me && her && Tanya anywho, you guys are a bunch of women who got money but it ain't like ya'll are gonna take that money and make the rest of the world look flyy so quit acting HAPPY
&& be fake like the material things you guys have.*PRETEND HAPPINESS*
First of all…what's ur name sweetheart.
Beautiful!
Hi Tanya, I really love this look, the dress is beautiful & I really like the shoes with it. While some of us may not have the beautiful material items that others may have, it does not make us any invaluable, unloveable, or as great as any other person that can attain those items. I will continue to pray for God to Bless my family & myself with those things that we would like to have, but we should not knock any one, that may have those material items, but instead be happy for them, as one day we will want someone to be happy for us, when we receive our blessings from God, material or not, Tanya keep shining, sister you are not only beautiful on the outside but the inside as well, I love your sense of style, & style guidance God Bless. Celina.
Amen to that!!! About your title, I never get women who purposely seek out friends that are "fatter" or "look worse," ,,, even the women who put their bridesmaids in crap purposely, because they feel like it will make them stand out.
I Love beautiful people! It gives me inspiration and makes me feel better about myself. (Sidenote: Beauty isn't always commercial beauty, in my book!)
Luv the dress, smooth complexion and that PINK BAG gives me life everytime I see it!!
Ur messager always so insightful..and u were even kind when responding to the person who left the negative comment.
U look GORGEOUS Besteeeeeee. Can't get enough of your fashion style! I know that not only are you BEAUTIFUL on the outside you are such a BEAUTIFUL person INSIDE n thats what REALLY counts!!!!! I'm going to close out with Philippians 2: 5-8…..Smooches XxxxxOooooo
How could I forget to mention….."Besteeee U wearing them BOOOTTTSSS!!!!!" lol
Tanya, so in love with this whole look. Especially love the boots.
Va va voom!
Thanks for the Cinderalla analogy. I needed to hear that.
You are right. People need to grow up. That requires us to know who God made us to be and love ourselves first! Then you don't have to live in jealousy and hipocracy.
Blessings!

Look I bet everyone talking has money no one on the Blog that is trynna come up can really talk positive if you have a 'dream' you're NOT there yet so all this positive talk hah get a life ya'll wake up this is the real world this la la land stuff is hillarious come with a real post about how you got all this stuff not just about having it…make sense??! && everyone agreeing with her ya'll probably biting off of her so give it a rest.
Look, for real tho I'm done with this I will leave ya'll alone this is stupid my comments are ridiculous I apologize, I shouldn't have taken my jealousy out on you guys cause I am unhappy with my situation…you are no longer going to hear from me unless its positive if I don't have anything nice to say I won't say it at all, so with that said I will leave it alone I apologize to Tanya, SIS, and everyone else I included in my posts, how 'big' of me to post this and say all this behind a computer && not to your face. At this point you guys can say what you want about me I don't care I deserve it. I agree with everything you guys have said about me I got issues I need to work on so I'm sorry. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me…
Wooooowwwww you woke at 9 to be negative. Imma pray for you because you need jesus. If your un happy with your life or situation then change it why knock the next person. Dont be envious. Just because you dont have goals or ambition to make you happy thats you.
I Forgive you, be blessed:
Love is patient love is kind, not jealous, it is not boastful, it is not conceited,
It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not resentful, it does not rejoice at
Injustice, it rejoices in truth, believes, hopes and endures all things, is ever
ready to believe the best of EVERY person && takes NO account of the evil done to it. Therfore I am going to treat this as if it never Happened…& you should forgive yourself and move on from this. Be happy
Love yourself you will find yourself successful very soon 🙂
To Jussbe"nme, God has plan for you, so be receptive to him, & he will be able to change whatever it is in your life that needs changing, he is working on all of us, so don't ever feel that you are not entitled to be blessed, you are, but receive what God has for you, & don't forget that he loves you through the good times & bad times, these are rough times we are in a really bad recession, some of us can't pay bills or buy groceries for our families, but every week God blesses some one with hope, things that they made need, not necessarily want, but keep your dreams alive & don't give up, please don't, for we serve a God who answers prayers & is able to fulfill our dreams, I know I don't know you personally, but I love you sister, please continue to lean on the Lord for understanding.
Hi Tanya…I have some catching up to do on your blog!!!!!
And girl yes! I agree one hundred percent with your post. I made a blog post similar to this. I feel like if someone is genuinely your friend, they will help your celebrate instead of downplaying or trying to "one up" your accomplishments.
When things like that happen though it may hurt a little but at the same time it's great because you get to see who you're REALLY dealing with.
p.s. That's a really pretty dress! That bright pink really looks beautiful against your skintone.
You look beautiful!
I gave you the Kreativ Blogger Award!
Great message! you look stunning in this dress!
This dress is so Retro! I love it! Leave it to my girl to throw this outfit together and rock it! Jus Gorgeous! Smooches
Well said!!! Love the dress, fits ya like a glove and the booties just add that "unexpected" touch.

Tanya I have been to your blog quit a few times and what draws me more than anything is how positive, warm and humble you are. Even on those days when things don't appear to be all great you still keep your messages positive and uplifting. I don't have a great deal of money, but I am working to get to where I want to. I know what God has promised and no it's not all about material things. Would it be wonderful to be able to afford the beautiful things you wear of course it would (smile), but I feel beautiful, happy and confident in what I can afford right now!! I work my Old Navy, TJ Maxx, Ross, Thrift Store clothes like it's Prada, Gucci etc…. What I get from the blogs I have found is that most of the wonderful people that have them use them to of course showcase their style but I believe they also want to show anyone no matter the budget you can look and feel great inside and out!!
So even though I am late on this, to jussBE'N Me I pray she stays positive, because life can be hard we all know that, but we can make it better than it is by being positive and knowing God has something better! Remember there are people out there with ALOT of money and things, but they are miserable because they don't understand it isn't the things that make you happy!! That comes from God and from within!!
Everyone Stay Blessed
