I've been feeling very romantic lately...

I'm not in love, nor do I desire to be.

I just am addicted to French Romance films,

they make me smile.

I love love..and compassion.

I like having butterflies and blushing.

I enjoy seeing others in love, and platonic love.

I enjoy failed romantic pursuits, and having an affair with chocolate.

Love is everywhere, and I am currently drowning myself in it from within.

Happy Pride!

Hey Creeps!

It's been a while, eh?

Well, for all of you who didn't know June is LGBT Pride Month, and currently in NYC there has been an abundance of Anti-Gay crimes. I am not a supporter of any form of violence and am pretty much disgusted with these disgusting acts.

Thus, to celebrate the amazing people of the LGBT community and pride I decided to recreate a Drag look, which I found on youtube. The video is posted below

This was such a challenge! However, I had alot of fun attempting this look. I am a huge fan of drag queens and their fabulous wardrobe changes.

Furthermore to create this look I used Color me Perfect by Ebonie Marie. She is a friend of mine and a makeup guru. She makes her own products and they are absolutely fabulous!!!

Journeys in Shopping

Dress: Ann Taylor

Shoes: Anne Klein

I bought this dress over spring break on a shopping trip with my Mami and Aunt. 

Now first and foremost I must say...I HATE SHOPPING! Mostly because I can never ever seem to find pants that fit over my ass! I know what your thinking...what ass? But do not be fooled I have some junk in the trunk that never seems to fit in pants. 

My journey first started in Zara, I was looking for an outfit to wear to a birthday party that night and I really wanted to wear high waisted pants. I grabbed a few trousers in Zara to try on in my usual size, a size 6. Lord have mercy! I could not even get the pants past my thighs. So I opted for a pair of wide leg trousers in a size 8; another epic fail. Reluctantly, I grabbed a size 10 in a pair of high waisted leggings and they were far too big! After that I stood in the mirror in my bra and panties and just stared at myself. I was defeated. I've seen many curvy girls wearing these looks and for the life of me I could not find a single pair of pants to fit me. 

Standing in the mirror I analyzed my ass and thighs wondering why they refused to fit into my dream trousers. Feverishly putting my clothes back on I threw the pants on the rack and headed to Topshop where I hoped to find the perfect jean. Boy was I wrong, nothing seemed to fit me right! They made my ass look flat instead of accentuating it, not to mention I spent nearly 10 minutes squeezing myself in them. Once again, my curves were fighting me refusing to fit into any pants. Here I was in one of the most popular stores among women and I was unsatisfied. I had a severe case of muffin top and my booty had disappeared! Looking in the mirror I hated my curves I was disgusted that I could not find a pair of trendy pants! WHY was it fair that everyone else could enjoy these looks but I couldn't?

Fast forward two days later, I was in Ann Taylor with my Mami and Aunt browsing the racks. Purposely avoiding all pants when I came across the fabulous dress I am wearing in the photo above. Immediately, I thought DVF on a budget. I grabbed it and headed to the dressing room. While changing I did my best to avoid my reflection after the horrible experience I had a few days earlier. However, when I saw myself in the dress I fell in love. It accentuated my whole body! The way it hugged my curves and slimmed my waist brought a smile to my face. Finally it clicked, not every trend works for every body type. It is okay if you can't wear certain things because style isn't based on trend its based on you inner creativity and how you feel. So this time around when I looked in the mirror in my bra and panties I smiled. Ok, maybe I dropeed it like its hot a few times, but that isn't the point. The point is I had to accept that this is my body. I am not a size 0 and I have curves and they aren't going anywhere. 

Every body type is different, and it isn't what you wear its how you wear it.

Hair! Growing up women are taught that having luscious locks is what beauty. Everyone wants to have long hair blowing in the wind. Curly girls want to have long straight hair that does not shrink up at the sight of water. The moral of the story is that at young age it is implanted in our minds that our hair is our crown and glory. Now not every woman wants to have short hair and not every woman wants to have long hair. However, sometimes we encounter situations that will force us to leave our comfort zone into dangerous territory, which is what happened to me.

First and foremost I have had short hair a few times in my life. I am talking bald, no hair whatsoever. In a year and a half I managed to grow a large curly mane and I pretty much abused it. I colored it blue, purple, blonde etc. Unfortunately, recently I had decided to put a relaxer in my hair in order for it to be permanently straight. As a result my hair began to fall out immensely and I had to patches of missing hair on my head. I was absolutely devastated that a hairdresser had done such a horrible thing to my head. 

Although I could have saved my hair and kept my length I decided it was best to hack off all the damage. At first I wanted to cry, I had took almost two years to grow my hair and it made me feel sexy and beautiful. My hair had become my security blanket. Then I took a step back and reminded my self of all the bold style choices I made and how fearless I was and that just because my hair was falling out I shouldn't feel any less attractive. 

Thus, cutting my hair for the third time has once again made me feel liberated. As women sometimes we get so caught up on certain standards instead of taking a leap. There are days when I wake up and just think of all of my flaws instead of pointing out all of the great things about me, physically as well as mentally. If you want to change your look go for it, do not think that in order for a woman to be beautiful you must have long hair. Yes, it may be an emotional process and a few tears may be shed but you are still gorgeous.

Get Naked!

Okay, do not strip down to your birthday suit; this is a beauty post.

I say get naked because I want you to strip away that makeup!

Lately, I have been trying my hardest to minimize my use of makeup in order to see how my skin would react. As a young lady with oily skin I am prone to breakouts and major shine!

I have always used foundation in order to hide my blemishes as well as create the illusion that I have flawless skin. In addition, I am a beauty product junkie so I am always tempted to try new products as well.

Thus, for the new year I wanted to see if decreasing my makeup use would affect my skin and it did! I have experienced less breakouts and redness. However, instead of piling on the foundation I have opted just for bronzer, lipstick, and mascara. Today, I opted for a bare face with no bronzer or foundation. I simply penciled in my eyebrows , lined my lips with brown pencil, and applied dark beige lipstick. I still have a fresh natural look that simply enhances my beauty.

As for my beauty regimen I start my day by washing my face with either Neutrogena beauty bar or the grapefruit acne wash. Once a week I will do a face mask; my favorite is the Lancome Pure Empreinte Masque. However, I sometimes switch it up and use Juara Rose & Willow Bark Blemish Free Mask. After washing my face I apply  Soap & Glory's Dr. Spot on my blemishes and follow up with Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream which I have been using since I was 8 years old! It is great for dry and sensitive skin and also for the winter months. Although I have oily skin I like using a heavy cream like Cetaphil because it keeps my skin soft and moisturized throughout the day. If I use a lighter cream my skin gets irritably  dry!  On the days I really want to apply make up I use Lancome Star Bronzer and sweep Lancome Hypnose Doll lashes on my top lashes only. I use Korres lip butter daily to keep my lips soft and moisturized; it also adds a lovely hint of color.

Serendipity

According to the dictionary serendipity is a happy accident. To be more specific it is an occurrence of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. After a tumultuous year in 2012 I finally feel as if I have turned over a new leaf. Finally, I have encountered bliss and happiness in not just my professional life but my personal life as well.   Many people don't believe in good luck or things of that nature but I always remain open to all possibilities. For the most part I have become more optimistic and have gained more confidence in myself. Plenty of times I have limited myself because I cared too much of what people think of me, but eventually you realize you are unhappy and just delaying your destiny. Believing in my dreams and not being afraid of what people think of me was the first step in the right direction for me. Even if you do not believe in good luck or serendipity this series of happy accidents in the past few months have brought me much joy and I encourage you to open up you heart to all the possibilities.
