13 Weeks & Counting!

Hey Loves! It's been another while since my last post, I haven't even turned my laptop on in like a week,Lol. I hope all is well with everyone :-) I had a doctor's appointment today that went well & I'm now 13 weeks pregnant! We're so excited & hoping that on Dec. 16th's ultrasound, we'll be able to see the baby's gender! *crossing fingers*We want our lil' boy!!! That's about all the exciting news with that, so far so good :-) I'm starting to show a lil bit which is kinda freakin me out(not ina bad way,lol) because I didn't show till I was 6 months with my 2 daughters. We shall see how big I get this time around. Hopefully it won't be too hard to lose all the weight & get back to my normal weight of 145 lbs. (I'm 5'7 w/curves that I love!) & my 26 inch waist. I haven't seen my normal weight since having my 2nd daughter cuz we were planning to get prego shortly after her arrival. Back then my goal was to get to a 24 inch waist, those last 2 inches were stubborn,lol. We'll see how it goes this time around. I'll more than likely take you guys for the ride!

I'm sorry for the lack of youtube vids lately. I honestly have probably worn makeup like 2-3 times over the last few months. I go through these phases where I lose interest in a lot of the materialistic things in life. Makeup is beautiful & it's art, but I really enjoy natural, unaltered beauty as well. So, yeah, it's just been eye cream, moisturizer, & clear eyebrow gel for me these days, lol. I'll be makin' a vid for you all soon, but am unsure of what it will be about. I hope you all are having a beautiful Christmas season & I hope you all get a chance to decorate! It really adds to the wonder of Christmas & makes me feel great when I do :-) I'll talk to you all soon! :-) MMMUUUAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

Here's the Christmas lights we put up this year. It's our 1st Christmas in our 1st house so it's very special to us.

Happy Holidays, guys!!!!

Today was THE BIG DAY!...well, 1 of them, lol

Hi Loves! How are you guys? I hope everyone is feelin' happy on this beautiful Tuesday evening :-) We just got home from my doctor's appointment & from a lil' grocery shopping. My appointment went GREAT! Turns out I'm 8 & 1/2 weeks pregnant!!!!! Which is pretty crazy considering I took 4 pregnancy tests at home and they were all negative back in the end of September. And, they tested me at my doctor's appointment back on Oct. 7th & that one was negative as well. I kept telling my family & my doctor that I felt pregnant (I've had 2 children already, I kinda know my body by now,lol). My husband believed me but no one else did. Well, there it is! 8 & 1/2 weeks pregnant and counting!!! We were hoping for twins, but there was only 1 lil peanut in there, lol. With a very strong heartbeat, might I add :-) Overall my appointment went great, the nurse said that everything looked perfect, including the baby :-) We're so excited! This is our first planned pregnancy! Oh and FYI, the pregnancy tests that are sold @ the $0.99 Store are THE EXACT SAME ONES that are used at your doctor's office. How do I know this, you ask? Cause my doctor and my nurses told me. So, don't waste $10-$20 of your hard earned money on a pregnancy test @ Wal*Mart & etc. Just head on over to the Dollar Store and your good to go! I do suggest that you always always always buy more than one test so that your certain. My case is a very rare one & it's never happened to me before. Well, I'll keep you guys posted and thank you for following my blog! Hello to all my new followers *hugs* See you soon! :-)

Guess What?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

I have exciting news for you guys! If you follow me on Twitter or caught my last youtube vid, then you already know. But for those that haven't.................I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I'm a lil' excited ;-p I found out on Halloween! We had only been trying for the past 3 months and voila! lol, we're hoping for a boy, but of course the MOST important thing is that our baby is healthy :-) You guys, I am SO EXCITED! And, so is the Hubby! My Doctor's appointment is on Nov. 17 so that's when I'll find out how far I am! I'm thinkin' I'm about a month and sum change, but we shall see. I'm so happy :-) Momma loves her babies!

Edit: My doctor's office called me and scheduled an ultrasound appointment for Nov.10th!!!

Hey HEY Hey!!! Missed u!

Wut stole my heart....

My Looooooovvvveessss!!!!! I've missed you! How have u all been? Are u followin' me on Twitter yet? :-) Follow me so we can stay in closer touch! I have a confession to make. I'm in love again and it's not with my husband. Let me elaborate. I'm in love with my GHD Pure flat iron, my Clarisonic, Mario Badescu products & The Body Shop. *Phew*So, don't kill me,k? lol Laaaadies! These are my top 4 products right now! Ch-ch-check it out *singin*.....

This beauty right here is the Clarisonic Mia ($149). It's a facial cleaning brush that oscillates 300 times per

second. It cleans your face 6 times deeper than traditional cleansing and is basically...the bombest thing ever, lol :-) This is the travel size (that's why it's cheaper). After I use this my skin feels incredibly soft and clean. It is glowing like no ones business. I've already seen my pores get smaller and smaller! I love it and it's much cheaper than the full size version. But the brush head is the same size as the full size one. This comes in white & pink (of course,I have the pink one;-) and you can get it from Sephora or Clarisonic.com. I got mine from Sephora & part of the proceeds from this supports Breast Cancer Awareness!

I recently went through about a jillion different samples of moisturizers from Sephora & ditched my old Nuetrogena in search of the right one for my changing skin. That pretty much sucked:-(cuz nothing really worked for me. So, I read about Mario Badescu stuff & saw great reviews on it. Then I found out that I could get free samples!!! So, I did and it worked great for my skin. I got a few different things in full size that I didn't have samples of (needed spf & stuff) and I LOVE IT!It's really making my skin feel great and I love how natural they're products are! I will never put anything else on my face again. Their price point doesn't hurt either, literally :-)

Isn't that sexy? This is the best lookin' flat iron I've ever seen....ever. Lol. If ya'll haven't yet noticed, I research everything before I buy it. It's become a helluva habit, actually! And, people cannot stop raving about this flat iron. I have wanted this thing for so damn long, but the price was killin me! So, I waited on getting it and got the CHI instead & I liked it alot...a whole lot. But, it didn't straighten my hair completely and it didn't do anything for humidity resistance. So I finally decided on getting this & searched my way around to find some discounts. I ended up getting mine from Folica.com for $229! Which is still expensive but better than spending $270 which is what everyone else is selling it for(and I mean everyone)! This flat iron leaves my hair like literal silk, doesn't fry my hair, makes my hair resist humidity like none other, heats up crazy fast, & will automatically shut off if it isn't used for 30 straight minutes. And, it looks GREAT. The packaging is amazing & it comes with an instructional DVD!

*sigh* Just lookin' at this picture makes me feel soft and cozy. I am so hooked on this body butter, it's crazy. I was using Sephora Brand body butter, which was nice. And, I was using "Bliss" Body Butter before that, which was pricey but nice. But, honestly, neither of the 2 compare to this one. The Sephora one would always leave an oil slick behind & the Bliss one wouldn't last that long. This one not only absorbs quickly, but it doesn't leave any residue, smells soooooo great, and it actually LASTS! I'm now using this daily, paired up with The Body Shop's Olive body wash & their coconut body scrub. My skin feels so luxuriously soft that even my Husband noticed

:-)Ladies, you already know that's a great feeling, right there:-)It's also cheaper than the Bliss body butter & although it's also cheaper than the Sephora one, the Sephora one comes with more ounces of product. The Body Shop is also a really great company to buy from (you should google it!). Will I be using any thing else on my skin? Probably never, unless my skin magically becomes allergic to great stuff.

Until next time, Ladies! Thanks for slidin' through and showin' ya girl some love! Love u guys!

Aaaahhhh NEW Fav Mascara!!!!

My Loves!!!!! How are you?!?!?!

It's been soooo long! I hope everyone is doin' fantabulous ;-) If you've watched my youtube vids, you'll know that I've been raving about Lash Blast mascara. It's a really great mascara and I've been using it everyday. Kinda been cheating on my M.A.C Plush Lash w/it, lol. BUT.........wait for it....wait for it........MAYBELLINE PULSE PERFECTION!!! 1st of all, I haven't even used my Shu Uemura eyelash curler since using this!!! This mascara is off the chain, guys. It curls my eyelashes just like my curler if not more, it seperates, it thickens, and....lengthens!!! This is the most perfect mascara I've ever used, no joke. I just had to share this with you! Oh, and I just got my new GHD Pure flat iron and will be tryin it soon. I'll be back w/an update to let you know if it's better than my Chi! Love u guys & Stay tuned!

There Are No Words...

Hi Loves, I know it's been awhile since I last posted. I hope everyone is having a great summer so far. As I'm sure you all know, The King-Michael Jackson- has left this world. This has really been a tough thing for me to accept and get over, in fact, it's the most difficult celebrity death I've ever dealt with. I've been crying since the day it happened. I just truly can't believe it's a reality that he's no longer with us. It seems like everyone has great childhood memories that include him in one way or another, ya know? He was just SO relevant. I could go on and on about him, however, the reason for this posting is to remind you of gratitude. This is definitely a prime example of how people can be taken for granted and greatly missed when lost. All I can hope is that all of you that follow my blog, really show appreciation for your loved ones and for people in general. It's such a cliche', I know, but it's excruciatingly true. About a week before this tragic news, my Great Grandfather in the Dominican Republic passed away from heart problems. My Mom just kept crying and kept wishing she could at least have been able to hug him for the last time and see his smile. Sometimes it may seem like a chore to show some people that you care, but it's so worth it. I hope you take these words with you :-)

And of course, R.I.P to Farrah Fawcett as well. I don't have as many words to share about her because she didn't affect my life the way Mr. Jackson did, but of course that was another sad loss and I wish the best to her friends and family.

To all My New Followers!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooo.... I had the best Mother's Day ever! My husband gave me a $500 shopping spree, took care of the girls for the last few days, let me sleep in, cooked me breakfast, gave me a full body massage, wow this list is great, lol. He really out did himself. We've had our ups and a lotta downs, but nothing is better than a person who gives you effort. That is unconditional love right there :-) I wanted to do a YT haul vid and post everything here, but since I already bought some things before my shopping spree and now have all those newly added things, Im afraid the list of new things will be ridiculous. I don't want to bore you guys with all this stuff. So, how's everyone's day going so far? Have you smiled yet??? Please do so.....NOW!!!!!!! :-D

Hmmm....

.....should I limit this to bein' my "Beauty Blog" or combine with my personal stuff?

Mini-Makeovers!

So, last week my Abuela (grandma) and my Mom came over to see me and the girls :-) I was feelin' really depressed during that time and I was so happy to see them. We were talkin' and hangin out and I decided Hey! Why not do your makeup! lol, corny I know, but I was so excited to do it and it really took my mind off of some bothersome things. And they loved it! So, here ya go......

Yes, that is my Mother, NOT my sister, lol. Isn't she gorgeous? I hope I age as gracefully as her

My grandmother has really dark under eye circles, and that's actually where I inherited mine from. I used Boi-ing by Benefit to completely conceal them and voila! Knocked a good 20 years off that beautiful face of hers :-)

She just turned 68 today:-)
