Listen

Listen to God when he speaks to you. Do not ignore him or it could alter your destiny. What he has plan for your life is nothing you could do on your own. Live for him and not for yourself. Do not be selfish or blind. There are many warnings. Be aware of his warnings that he gives you. Remember to listen to him. If you are reading this, turn to him if you haven't already. Live for him and he will give you everlasting love and blessings. Do not bw afraid .. turn to him and remember everything you do here on earth- there would be a day where you will stand with him and watch everything you have done, wrong or right. You have the opportunity right now to change your life and live for God ...

Stay Blessed.... and choose the life he wants for you, your Destiny ..
Don't alter it by making the wrong decisions.

Make him happy and make him proud of how you are living your life .... for him. Help others and show them the way to God.

Happy Sunday:: Promise Yourself


Promise Yourself


Promise Yourself...


To be Strong that nothing

can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, prosperity

to every person you meet.


To make all your friends feel

that there is something in them

to look at the sunny side of everything

and make your optimism come true.


To think only the best, to work for the best,

and to only expect the best.

To be just as enthusiastic of the success of others

as you are about your own.


To forget the mistakes of the past

and to press on the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times

and give every living creature you meet a smile.


To give so much time to improve yourself

that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,

and TOO happy to permit the presence of trouble.


To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,

not in loud words but in great deeds.

To live in Faith that the whole world is on your side

so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Apply Right


Hey Beauties..hope everyone is enjoying their wkend...holiday season which means crowded in the stores...i love it though, not the lines lol but just seeing everyone out with their loved ones enjoying the season. Thanksgiving is next wk, i know im so ready to eat, and boy can i eat lol... okay on to the subject...


Apply Right...Foundation


Prime:: Before you smooth on your foundation, prep your face with a primer, which will create a base for the makeup and help hold it in place all day. Look for a primer that's silicone based, which helps seals skin imperfections, creating a smoother surface. I use MAC prep and prime.


Brush up:: A foundation brush helps the product go on smoothly and covers imperfections without creating a cakey appearance. Using your fingers can cause skin irritations, because bacteria beneath your nails can be transferred to your face...breakouts. If you are using a cream or liquid foundation, choose a brush made from synthetic fiber such as nylon. For powder foundations and finishing powders, go for a natural goat-hair brush such as MAC 134.


Blend it:: Pour a quarter-size amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or into a small, clean bowl. Then dip the brush into the product, just enough to cover the bristles, you don't want to drown them-then smooth it onto your skin with even strokes. Begin with one side of your face underneath your jawline, and work your way up to your cheekbones. Then continue to just below your brows and across your forehead. Repeat to the other side. Blend-Blend-Blend! This is the key beauties. If you need more coverage, let the first layer dry then proceed to the next layer.


Hope this helps beauties.

Hair Chat: Wanna go natural?


Hey Beauties! So im sitting here with my 11weeks post relaxer hair and just wondering how it would be to go natural...The last time i remember my hair being natural is when i was about 3 years old. All i have is a picture to remember it, lol, sorry its not on my pc, but i will try to scan it later or whatever. The texture was really pretty and curly. My mother has natural curly hair, but its a different texture, im mixed so my texture is really different from hers. If i could figure out how to detangle my hair better with the new growth, then i should be able to do it, of course without the big chop. I mean i wear halfwigs anyway 99% of the time, so that would help with transition. I just dont know about the detangle part, seriously. And once i get past 11 wks post like i am now, if i air dry without running a comb through it or pinning it up, my hair becomes a big poof of mess lol and i cant get my fingers through the new growth. But i would like to go natural and say buh bye relaxer. After all, i could still wear my hair straight at times thanks to the invention of a blow dryer and flat iron lol.


just maybe i will...i will see next month. Dec marks my 2year hair anniversary, instead of relaxing it maybe ill just blow it out really good and flat iron and move into the newyear with a new journey...NATURAL =)

Choose the Correct Formula


Hey Beauties, ever wonder how to choose the correct formula of foundation according to your skin type? Well read on...





Oily Skin: Women whose skin tends to get a little greasy should avoid oil-based foundations and stick to wet/dry mattifying powders that are on the thick side. These adhere to skin better than liquids, which can bond to oil and slide down your face...yuck lol.


example= Bobbi Brown illuminating finish powder compact foundation SPF


Dry Skin: If your skin is parched, use an oil based liquid foundation with emollients such as glycerin, lanolin, or ceramides. These moisturizing ingredients will keep your skin looking soft and supple.


example= Lancome Teint miracle


Combination Skin: Combination skin is tricky because your face is dry around the perimeter and oily in the T-zone. The trick: apply a moisturizing cream foundation along the outer part of your face, then blend it in toward your nose. Finish with a dusting of a translucent powder over your nose and forehead. It will set the cream and prevent it from migrating into any creases.


Normal Skin: If you want to cover blotchiness, use a cream foundation. (Laura Geller real deal foundation stick SPF) Otherwise, smooth on a tinted moisturizer, which will even out your tone and give you a natural look. Then use a dab of concealer to hide any minor discolorations.


example= miracle skin transformer SPF


hope this helps you Beauties =)

GoodBye Past...Hello Future...


Hey Beauties =) so today is a random post. Its about saying goodbye to your past and enjoying your present and your future. I know many of us ladies tends to hold on to past issues, being situations you been through that you could never really let go. Or past friendships that didn't work out for whatever reason, or relationships, etc. Life tends to take you through a roller coaster, but how your life plays out is really how you let it. And with that, im talking about being saved by God. Once you are saved, you really do look at the world differently, you have a new set of eyes. You want to live your life right, by God, in EVERYTHING you do. So everything in your past that has hurt you, or just wasn't right, you have to let it go. Once you have let it go, you can enjoy your Blessings God has Provided you with. It feels good to be saved and renewed. I no longer want to live "my way" but i want to live Gods Way. Im not perfect, and im never trying to pretend i am, i don't have a perfect life, come on now we are all humans...humans are not perfect. But my life is so much better and peaceful now that i have completely started to live for God. I have seen the difference in my life, my marriage, my children, my friendships...etc. So im saying Good Bye to everything in my past, the past friendships that didnt workout, they know who they are, im sure they are reading this, may God Bless You. Good Bye to all my past pains, i forgive all who has hurt me, and may those forgive me for those who i have hurt along the way.

GoodBye
xoxo

MAC:: Pro LongWear spf 10 Foundation






















Hey Beauties!!! So i picked up the Mac Pro LongWear foundation a few weeks back and i must say i love it...gosh, MAC is a problem...all i think about are MAC products lol. I love this foundation, it gives good coverage, nice and even look without looking to heavy. But i must say i love my Satin Finish foundation by MAC 100% better...but the pro long last such a long time. I wish they would combine the two...if they did that, boy would i buy it all. But this foundation is great when you are going to an event and need something to last without reapplying. (Ill be wearing this foundation to the concert, being i need something to last some hours) but i wouldnt wear this on an everyday or just running to the store or whatever. I use about a pump and a half and i use my MAC 188 brush to apply it...this brush is so freaking amazing it really helps even more in giving such a flawless look...im thinking about getting the MAC 187....Do you have it? Details please =-)


But you can use whatever else brush you like, i know my mom uses her fingers for her pro longwear, but she is picking up the 188 after seeing my result. But i must say, her look was still good, not heavy-- but natural and beautiful.


Check out the pics...I have the foundation on of course=)

Winter Fairy Dust






















....winter is coming...are you ready? I came up with this look using my coastal scents palette in shimmer. I think this is the perfect winter look, not too much, but just enough shimmer..its very easy on the eye, and you can wear this during the day and even at nite and adjust the color according to your style. With this color i think a pink lip is best, like a nude lip to say, it gives it that extra pop without looking like a clown. Looking at the pictures i came up with the name to call it "Winter Fairy Dust" lol, they say pictures say 1,000 words.


As always stay blessed Beauties!!!!!!!! smooches ;-)
