10 days of My Birthday!

Well technically I have been counting since Nov 1st lol, my bday MONTH! just joking. Anyways, theres 10 days til my birthday, 9 days in about an hour. People always ask me what I want, what do I like etc. First and foremost, I rarely get alot of gifts, a few if Im lucky so I appreciate it when it does come. Here is the funny part about what I like and It is very twisted! I LOVE gift cards! Why is this twisted? Because I REFUSE to give them as a gift lol. I feel that shows my lack of thought as a friend, like I dont know you well enough to buy you a gift. But those who know ME, know i love getting gift cards! Dumb huh? Anyways , what places do I like? Heres where you learn a lil sumthn' about me :)

-Starbucks
-Sephora
-Macys
-Gas GiftCard
-Sunglass Hut
-Any food place
-Walmart
-Best Buy
-Spencers
-Apple

NONE of those places are related, but just proves how complicated I am :)

O for October

October is pretty awesome if you ask me. Why do i think that?
- Knotts Scary Farm
- Scary movie deals
- Pumpkin candles & frapps
- Old disney halloween movies on TV
- Glowsticks

Not to mention it marks the "1 MONTH" until my bday.
Whats your favorite things about October?

BTW if your gonna buy things for Halloween, do it 2 weeks before the 31st, you'll be shocked at how much cheaper it is :) friendly reminder....xo BE SAFE

Social Networks: Love or Hate?

It is CRAZY how so many people life through social networks these days. Forget about texts, calls or dinners with friends, just talk on your social network! Lol now I’d rather text, call or go out with friends to keep in contact but I think I only do that occasionally with about 2 people these days. Everyone has a preference though. In addition to that, the “news feed” or “tweets” I read are sometimes ridiculous to read. We ALL have issues but not everyone on your social network needs to know! So here are my little random “do’s and dont’s” for your site. Given everyone has a different opinion which is AWESOME, but this is just MY opinion & what I feel would make these social networks a more positive environment!

DO POST:
-Good events in your life! Birthdays, promotions, anything positive you’ve experienced that day etc.
- Pictures/videos that show the real you without being graphic or derogatory. Beach photos, gradutation videos or even random outing with friends are pretty cool in my opinion.
-Questions or ideas to generate positive energy/thoughts/conversation! Like how I post my questions/statements of the day! Sometimes we have a random thought or question and posting these gets others involved and “juices” flowing in a sense, sometimes they also lead to making new connections!
- Music or things that you found/discovered that others might not have seen or know about! Sharing is caring and I know I love quotes/videos that others post that I haven’t seen/heard yet.

DO NOT POST:
- Posts including labeling words such as bitches and hoes, liar, curse word this and that etc. YES we all have friend/men/women issues BUT seeing 9 out of 10 negative posts including curse words and labels is TIRING AND OLD!
- Naked or suggestive content with minimal clothes. Anyone can be naked on a bathroom sink or posing in front of a mirror. All that makes me think is “wow, never is that cool” and it makes me smh. Don’t degrade your greatness!
- Threats or posts tagging people in them where you’re negatively addressing them. An ugly character makes me run and delete ya! Not attractive :-]
- Anything with HATE in it! This world has enough problems and if some people only know you from these sites, always being hurtful or pessimistic is an ugly trait, so please refrain. “Where is the love”

So in conclusion, I think its all common sense really! I’ve been guilty of posting negative things due to my “bad day” but there’s always something bigger than our petty issues. I’m so tired of reading posts with a negative undertone to them so let’s try to make online a better place :-] xo

My Top 3 Make-Up Products

BEST FACE MAKEUP- LANCOME~ Teint Idole Ultra
I'e used this stuff for years, its awesome! lasts 14hr, foundation that dries with a powder lightweight look and feel. I put it on with a makeup paint brush, super easy to blend and apply. Lasts me around 3 months. $42 at Macys or Lacome but SO worth it, my skin looks awesome!


BEST MASCARA- COVERGIRL~ Lash Blast Volume
My fav hands down, and I've tried ALLLLL the mascaras. This one makes them longer, thicker and they stayed curled. Many others I've tried wesigh my lashes down. This one doesn't and it holds all day. Between $6-$7.50 at drugstores. Love love love!


BEST EYESHADOW- SEPHORA~ Colorful Mono Eyeshadow
This is my fav no ?s asked. Only $12 at Sephora and comes in over 80 colors, i own about 20 lol. They stay on all day, very vibrant and pigmented. I recommend this to anyone who likes eye popping shadow.

Photoshoot- Costa Mesa, CA

So here I am! Trying to step up my game! I shot the first week of June with my boy Jay in Costa Mesa, CA. The name of his company is James Kruythoff Photography. Message me if your interested with working with him and I'll link you up! This was my first actual photoshoot where I was in and outta the water. Jay is AWESOME and his pix are flawless! More shots from this shoot will be uploaded to my website, coming soon :) xo

Random or Normal

We all have little random things we do/like but are they really random or normal?
What I do may be random to you but normal to me and vice versa.
Who’s to say which is right or what is normal
All I know is I’m definitely different :)


Random or Normal?
-I cant sleep unless I have the covers over me.
-Dresses have to be 1)short and 2)paired with tall heels.
-My closet is color coordinated, lightest to darkest, left to right.
-I won't eat/drink anything that will turn my mouth colors.
-My water has to come in a certain type of bottle or I won't drink it.
-I rinse off all can tops before I open them.



Random? probably... Normal? Yup

Be Yourself

Some days are longer than others,
Some people advance faster than others,
Some people fall in love while others stay single...
One thing that you can control is who you are and who you can be
Be yourself in life, at work, when you meet someone, when you are alone in your own silence.
That is the best advice I can give to others and tell myself when things look down or when you come to a cross roads
Everything else will fall into place :)
