As The Time Goes

2011-09-18T03:39:00.000-07:00

Hi Loves! How's September treating you so far? I hope it's been kind. Weather has been a little crazy over my way, but I can't really complain. I was a little tired of the scorching heat already, lol. So, if you've yet to hear my amazing news...here it goes.... *dramatic pause* my Son is WALKING now!!!!!!!!! Omg, you guys should have seen my face! Tears just shot out, it was crazy! My little munchkin hasn't stopped walking since. He'll be running before Winter hits at this rate, lol. I'm so excited for him and yet I find myself a little sad as well. He's the last of our 3 babies that had to learn to walk. I can't believe he's growing so fast and that I'll never get to experience this again :-( Of course , I'm beyond grateful for his health and progress but I'm going to dearly miss my baby being a baby. *sigh* whelp, I knew this day would come, so I'll embrace it as it is and make sure to hug and squeeze my little cute patootie a billion times a day :-) I hope you all are having an amazing weekend <3 Talk to you soon!

!!!Muuuuah!!!!

1st Grade, Curls....& More Curls!

2011-09-01T23:55:00.000-07:00

Hi Loves! How are you guys?! Ready for Labor Day weekend? Hope everyone has fun plans or at least gets to relax before starting your work week back up again. Things have been kind of hectic my way with my Tiana starting 1st grade and all. It's been so exciting! My baby's a 1st grader *proud Mommy moment* :-) Congrats to all of you that sent your babies off to school this month, isn't it such a bitter sweet moment? You're excited for them to get bigger but yet you dearly miss when they were babies. That's life, I guess.

Here's my lovely Tiana on her 1st day as a 1st Grader!

It seems a lot of you have been interested in my curly hair and how it's changed. I recently mentioned that I no longer have to use Mixed Chicks to tame my curls and some of you were kinda shocked about that, lol. I wanted to show you how my hair is after I wash it and let it dry naturally. All I used was my Morrocan Oil, Chi Keratin Mist, and Chi Silk Infusion.

That's how it dries now and I, myself can't believe that it's not frizzed out into a big poof ball! Trimming your hair and taking care of it really does pay off. I still like to use a little bit of my Mixed Chicks just to help tame my curls a little cause they can take on a life of their own, but frizz isn't quite an issue like it was before. So, there ya have it. My hair in it's natural state :-)

It gets kinda crazy back there, lol

I really hope you all have an amazing week. I'll be seeing you in my next video shortly <3 Muaahhh! *peace sign*

Sometimes it's the little things...

2011-07-29T05:21:00.000-07:00

How can a simple bottle of nail polish make us so happy? There's so many gorgeous colors out there, I just want them all! I mean, there's a color for every mood you could ever possibly be in. It may sound crazy, but randomly thru out the day I'll look down at my nails and just smile, lol. Colors make me happy :-) I hope these colors make you smile, too :-)

We have some catching up to do :-)

2011-07-19T03:36:00.000-07:00

Hi my loves! I hope you had a great start to your week :-) I'm trying to get in the swing of blogging again so I decided to set it up on my iPhone 4 :-) This is the 1st post that I'm writing from my phone so let's hope this works out. If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel, then you'll know that I recently put up a smokey eye tutorial. The response from that look has been really great and it's been motivating me. Not to mention, a lot of you were really taken away by my hair which is ironic cause it was pretty easy to do. So, of course I'm going to have to do a tutorial on it soon so be on the look out! I'm excited to film it and I hope you all give it a try. Volumized hair just seems to make everything better, lol. I hope you have a beautiful week and I'll be in touch :-)

I'll leave you with a special picture. This is the lovely lady that came up to me at IMATS and happily said she was subbed to my YouTube channel! <3

:-(

2010-12-17T14:22:00.001-08:00

Today's a sad day for me. One year ago today, I lost someone very close to me. He was only 25. I can't believe an entire year has passed. He'd been in my life since I was 13 years old. Our last words weren't the kindest and we didnt quite get to smooth things over and now I have to live with that. I feel so sad in a helpless way cause there's nothing I can do about it. I just really wish he would come to me in my dreams.

Vincent Jr.-6 months old since June 10th :-)

2010-12-14T19:40:00.001-08:00

Here's one of the Loves of my life :-)

Enjoy!

Are you ready for Christmas?

2010-12-14T13:23:00.001-08:00

This year has been going beautifully. We finally got our son, Tiana started school, Mya's learning a whole lot, my Husband's doing well at his job. Things have really been great. This is the time when I really find myself reflecting on my life. Take a moment to reflect and enjoy the stroll down memory lane. And, as far as the rough spots from your past go, consider them lessons learned and try to appreciate it all.
Happy Holidays, Loves!!!

Mascara Review! Imju Fiberwig's "Lash Knockout"

2010-10-20T01:08:00.000-07:00

Well, hello there gorgeous! How has the week been treating you? Beautifully I hope :-) If you guys don't know by now, I'm kiiiiiinnnndddaaaaa obsessed with mascara. I've tried so so so many. I know everyone says that, but I can seriously come up with 20 names in like 2 seconds, lol. Everything from drugstore mascaras to $30 mascaras. With that said, I have come across my HG mascara. My Imju Fiberwig never fails me. It keeps my lashes curled just how I curled it ALL DAY. It never smudges. It's easy to take off (you just need warm water!) It makes my lashes look longer and pitch black. I do have to work with it a bit to get the volume I want, tho. That's what lead me to try their new release "Lash Knockout." It is supposed to deliver amazing volume and still carry the other characteristics from their best selling formula. I tried it. I fell in love....again. Then it broke my heart. But, we still talk.

Why did it break my heart? We had to call it quits cause it smudged on me :-( I completely thought it was impossible for any Imju Fiberwig mascara to smudge. It seems like any mascara that I try that's advertised to give volume ends up smudging on me! I just don't get it. How ironic is that when all I really need is volume since I'm happy with the length of my lashes? Years ago I could wear ANY mascara I wanted and I never had issues with smudging. Now, I can't even wear waterproof formulas cause even they smudge on me. That's why my heart belongs to Fiberwig. It's the ONLY mascara that doesn't smudge on me no matter what. So, I'll be staying true to their main formula. I'll just throw some extra coats and I'll get my desired volume, no biggie. The results of "Lash Knockout" are truly gorgeous, tho.
Oh, and excuse my tiredness in the pix, didn't get much sleep and it was late at night when I took these.

I'll probably do a post on the other formula that is completely smudge free so you can compare. Now, I leave you with a lil' something to make you smile :-)

I LOVE his eyes! He is just so perfect in every way :-) He looks at me with so much love and with this expression like he knows how much I love him :-) We have such a beautiful connection! I could go on and on, lol.

Till next time my loves! Muaahh!!!

Tutorial Fail :-/

2010-08-16T23:55:00.000-07:00

Hi Loves! How's your Monday treating you? Great, I hope! So, about a week ago I was up late (like always) and I felt inspired to make a youtube vid. I had a makeup tutorial in mind so I went downstairs to my vanity and started putting colors on. I thought it was going well, but I really didn't like the outcome. I was so disappointed that I didn't even post the vid :-( I did, however, take some pix of the outcome and........yeah. Try to be nice, lol.

*sigh* I had such high hopes for this look. But the stars weren't aligned, my hands weren't blending to their best ability, and my spirit was brought down by the bad lighting. And, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get black eyeliner from bleeding into my under eye creases. I set the liner with powder, I tried putting the liner before concealer and after, I tried my Blacktrack fluidline (which held up the best but still not satisfying). Ladies, what am I missing??? Uugh. Are my eyes just destined to be the home of all smudges of the world?

Enough about the negative and on to the positive :-)

Our lovely son, Vincent Jr. is growing beautifully. He is such an easy baby, it's unreal. Each child I have seems to be easier newborns to handle than the last, lol. Here's some pix I took of him today :-)

Aaaahhhhh.....I could squeeeze my laptop right now, lol! He's the most perfect baby boy ever :-)

Well, ladies, I'm gonna go finish filiming this mascara review now. It's about the new Josie Maran mascara with argan oil in it. Check out the outcome by clicking here.

Have a beautiful night/day & I'll holla at cha soon!

MUUUAAHHH!

Makin' Up 4 Lost Time

2010-07-07T19:20:00.000-07:00

Hey Loves!!!! It's been far too long since we last hung out! I'm sorry I've been neglecting you guys, but I'm back and bearing gifts :-) I filmed a few youtube vids today just for your viewing pleasure and of course I'm not gonna leave you guys without posting some pics! In case you don't already know, I gave birth to my son on June 10th!!! Life has been even MORE beautiful since he came into our life :-) He makes me so happy, I could just stare at him forever, lol. *insert squeezing motions here*

He is so perfect :-)

I'm also glad to report that the baby weight has just been falling off on it's own so far. Here's a pic of me exactly 2 weeks after giving birth. I'm still counting down the days till I can work out, tho!

And, more good news! I recently made partner on YouTube!!! I seriously CAN NOT believe it!!! I'm so excited and so blessed to have such great ppl on their and here. You guys never abandon me even when I've been MIA for weeks. You guys are so understanding :-) I appreciate every single one of you. I'll try not to let so much time go by without an update. Stay tuned! *wink*

Shocking Pink!

2010-03-27T00:45:00.001-07:00

I can't stare at this color enough! I LOVE this nail polish! It's called "Shocking Pink" by China Glaze and it's a Neon color that is just gorgeous. It almost glows it's SO neon *Love* Oh and I can't believe it but I finally won something! I entered a twitter giveaway that China Glaze was having and I actually won! And, the prize was amazing :-D I won the entire "Up & Away" collection. Yes, all 12 gorgeous polishes!!!! I LOVE CHINA GLAZE!!!!

28 Weeks Today! :-)

2010-03-27T00:26:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! How are you?! Hope everyone is doing great :-) I'm 28 weeks pregnant today....and it just hit me that-that means I'm now 7 months along! Time is running by us sooo quickly, it's surreal. My pregnancy has been really smooth and I'm SO grateful for that. This is the first normal pregnancy that I've ever had. My last two were anything buy normal and were quite stressful. Our son now weighs in at 2 lbs. 9 oz. :-) My little cutie-patootie will be here soon!!!

The other day my husband & I made a bet. A very serious bet. He bet me that the baby is going to weigh 8 lbs. or more and I bet him that he would weight 7 lbs. or more, but not 8 (at birth). What was the wager, you ask? Well, if I win, I get to go on a huge shopping spree after I lose the weight I want to lose. If he wins, I am banned from buying clothes, makeup, shoes, accessories...pretty much anything beauty related for an entire year! My intuition tells me that I'm gonna win, but if I don't then.......let's just keep it positive and say I'm gonna win, lol :-p

Other than being pregnant, I've just been taking care of my family, trying to keep up with them actually, lol. And, trying to keep up with my home, making sure it's nice and clean and what not. My husband has been THE best. On his days off he takes care of the girls, makes me breakfast in bed, & lets me sleep in as long as I need to. It's a really great feeling to be surrounded by real love. That's about all I have for you guys as far as updates go! Everything's been great :-)

Up Late, Thinkin'....

2010-01-25T04:42:00.000-08:00

Hi Loves! Before I say anything else, let me FIRST thank all of my new followers! And, of course I must thank my loyal followers that have been here since day one. I really appreciate all of you & I'm happy you find my blog worthy of following :-) So, with that said. This entry is basically about life. I was just watching an episode of MTV's "True Life." The topic was about young adults "coming out" to their family about being homosexual. Since I am a parent, it really got me to thinking about life and things that I may have to face in life. There were some parents that completely disowned their kids over the fact that they were gay. I mean, they kicked them out of their house and didn't speak to them for years. Now, I don't know if I'm crazy or what, but there is NO way I could ever EVER disown my child over them being gay. In fact, that sounds completely insane to me. Not having a relationship with my babies would kill me. Then there were others that treated the kids as if they had some disease and it was something they would just have to deal with. It's baffling that in the year 2010, these issues and mind frames still exist. It's as crazy as racism, almost like another form of it. So, as I was thinking about my life as a parent, I put myself in their situation and imagined my babies in that situation. I can honestly say that I would love them just the same. As long as they fall in love with a good person that has great intentions and is an overall great addition to their life, then I'm just fine. Why is it so hard for people to understand my way of thinking? I feel so bad for all the kids in the world that become disowned, teased, assualted, and depressed over this. It's not fair at all. Well, I was just thinking about this so I thought I'd share. If any of you have anything to add or if you just want to say hi, please do so :-) And, thanks again for becoming a blog buddy :-)

Till next time....

The mail came today.....

2010-01-18T19:15:00.000-08:00

Hi Loves :-) How was your Monday? I hope yours was better than mine, lol. I'm in a pretty frustrated mood at the moment which is why I haven't made a youtube vid today. I was planning on making one showing all the great stuff I got in the mail. Maybe I still will. We shall see. Anyways, I ordered from 8ty8Beauty on January 12th and received it today, January 18th. Everything came packaged nicely and nothing was damaged. I didn't realized how many pinks I got out of the 12 China Glaze polishes I bought, lol. But, they are all slightly different pinks so it's ok :-)

I also ordered what I thought was a WALL nail polish rack but ended up ordering the table display >:-/ I will try to call them tomorrow to see if an exchange is possible. Hopefully they're reasonable. Here is my entire nail polish collection on the mentioned table display.

I also ordered some things from Mario Badescu on the same day and received them today aswell. I didn't get much this time around. Just a body lotion and body soap with the 3 samples you always get with every order. I'm so excited to try these out because I have Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms. It has gotten much better over the past years but I think it can still improve. I read great reviews on the lotion and soap I ordered so I'm hopeful :-)

That's it for now guys. I hope you have a great week and I'll keep you posted on how well the Mario Badescu products work out. I won't be able to paint my nails with my new polishes till after I have my baby so that will have to wait. Love u guys! Muaaahh!!!

TEXT 90999

2010-01-17T22:44:00.000-08:00

Hi Loves. I'm sure by now you've all heard about what's happened to Haiti. Honestly, I'm upset at myself for not having posted this sooner. Haiti is in a state of great need and The Red Cross has set up a way for you to donate thru texting "Haiti" to 90999. When you do that, it automatically charges $10 to your phone bill. That $10 goes to the people suffering in Haiti. If you can spare $10, PLEASE donate it. They need it more than we could ever imagine.

Thank you guys!!!

I'm having a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-01-11T16:45:00.000-08:00

Hey my Loves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had my 3rd ultrasound today! And, I'm ecstatic to say that my 3rd child will be a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Finally havin' a Boy!!!!!!!!!!!

1st Ultrasound @ 8 1/2 Weeks
2nd Ultrasound @ 13 Weeks & 5 Days

3rd Ultrasound (Today) @ 17 Weeks & 3 Days

More Storage Ideas!

2010-01-07T00:42:00.000-08:00

How could I almost forget! I bought these great earring holders from Ebay and I LOVE them! I had to share this with you guys cuz I know a lot of woman out there struggle with organizing their ever growing jewelry :-) So here ya go!

They're pretty easy to install if you know how to use a drill and they come with the nails you need. If you don't want to drill them on the wall, you can use the enclosed stands to set it up on your dresser, etc. Here's the ebay store I bought them from for $14.99. Hope this helps you out :-)

Makeup Storage!

2010-01-06T02:00:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone's Christmas & New Years was the best! I missed you guys :-) So, like I've previously mentioned, I have barely been wearing any makeup lately so that's why I haven't posted new YT vids. However, it was driving me crazy that all my makeup was just stored in my makeup case. I always had to jumble through it to get what I needed no matter how I organized it in there. I couldn't take it anymore so I FINALLY decided to do something about it, lol. I ended up buying this for my bathroom, since the only real drawback to our house is small bathrooms:-(

And then I had to figure out a way to fit all of this into that

After a trip to Wal*Mart, this is what I came up with

I'm SOOO happy with the results! It makes it a million times easier to do anything with my makeup. Maybe this will spark some new looks! I'm already feeling an itch to wear makeup again, lol. We now have one of these cabinets in all 3 of our bathrooms so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm also really excited about my doctor's appointment on Jan 7th!!! I am DYING to know wether I'm having a boy or girl. & I'm almost 17 weeks so they should def. be able to see what it is by now. Hopefully my ultrasound will be scheduled asap. That's pretty much it for now, guys so I'll holla @ cha in a bit! Loves ya!!!

13 Weeks & Counting!

2009-12-11T03:37:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-10T16:47:00.000-08:00

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?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

2009-11-03T15:51:00.000-08:00

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!

2009-10-06T03:07:00.000-07:00

Wut stole my heart....

2009-09-14T03:56:00.001-07:00

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.

Aaaahhhh NEW Fav Mascara!!!!

2009-08-09T02:33:00.000-07:00

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!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-05-10T17:00:00.000-07:00

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

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:-)

I've pretty much been by myself with them so I've been runnin' around like crazy in this house, just tryna keep everything and everyone clean and feelin' better! Right now, everyone is feelin' better so we're just chillin'. What. A. Day.

Photo Shoot in the Studio!

2009-03-27T19:04:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys!

Long time no talk, How are ya? I need you to do me a favor right now........SMILE! K, now we can proceed :-) Yesterday me and my husband had some fun in his studio. We had a cute lil' photo shoot, lol. He's an aspiring and fabulous DJ! Introducing the infamous Double-0-Zer0 ... the DJ :-)

Me & His other Babies, lol

All the pix didn't make the final cut, but we're happy with the outcome, lol. So, on another topic----> If you haven't already seen it, I posted a youtube vid about why I should be chosen to hang out and get made over with YouTube Guru's RissRose2 & ItsJudyTime this Saturday night. And..................I won!!! Kinda, lol. They picked another person to receive the makeover but also asked me if I wanted to party with them :-) I'm excited to get outta the house and go out with some nice and down to earth people. I'm sure we're gonna tear Vegas up!

I've been looking into trying a new skin care line. I currently use Neutrogena and I want to try out the Philosophy line. Have any of you guys tried it out? If so, how do you like it? Is it worth the cost? I'm really interested. Let me know! I've read great reviews on it but I'd like to get more opinions.

Talk to you guys soon! :-p

My 1st Post :-D

2009-03-18T01:08:00.000-07:00

How is everyone feelin' out there? I hope all is well :-p

This is my first ever post on my first ever blog!!! Soooo.......lets get right into it :)

Today was a nice day for me and the fam. It seems like I'm feeding and washing my kids all day, because before I know it, it's evening. Where does the time go? Man, I love my babies. They're the best daughters in the world to me. The Husband came home from work, mixed in his studio, played some PS3 and took out the trash, and we can't forget about the made up story he told our Tiana about the 3 Piggies and the 3 Bears. Priceless. I'm excited to be hosting my Mother's Surprise Bday party this Thursday!!! It's gonna be off the chain!

Ok ok enough about me.....on to why you really came here ->YouTubers ;-)<-

So, I've been expanding my eye shadow collection and I think I have enough neutrals to make the Arabic inspired makeup Tut with Neutrals as it was requested! I'm looking forward to it. I'm behind on my videos, but I'm tryna catch up! We just had a weekend in L.A. and Thursday is my Mother's surprise party, so I'm pretty booked. In fact, I'm typing this as I lay in bed instead of sleeping. But it's ok, I know someone somewhere will appreciate my efforts :) I finally tried this hairspray called ELNET that I bought awhile back from Target. It was $14.99 and although that might sound ridiculous, this stuff is the best hairspray I've ever tried in my entire life. It doesn't get hard, it holds, and if you comb your hair with it in, it makes your hair bouncier and still holds it's shape. It does everything that all the others promise to do! I love love love it. It's been popular in Europe for decades, but it finally came to the U.S. and Australia. You have got to go get it, Ladies, you'll love it. Well, I think I'm a call it a night :-( I got a busy day ahead of me so stay Fabulous and Holla Back!
