Smokey Eyes - Black and White

Here is a look that is going to be great for fall! Everyone is going to want the smokey eye. You can turn a simple day look into a night look with a little eyeliner and some black eye shadow, my favorite is Carbon from MAC. I finished the look off with Pale Lip lipstick from Lancome and Turkish Delight lip gloss from NARS.

New Chapter New Year

I turn 25 today and this year is going to be about meeee.

These lyrics have gotten me through many rainy days in my 25 yrs. I want to share it with you today.

Faith Evans: Again 

Nobody knows what life may bring
It might make you happy it might make you sad
Sometimes yeah but I know there’s a reason for everything (but I know)
That’s why I keep believing
Whatever is meant to be is gonna be

If I had to do it all again
I wouldn’t take away the rain
Cuz I know it made me who I am(Cuz it made me)
If I had to do it all again
I’ve learned so much from my mistakes that’s how I know he is watching me

July 29, 1985 I may have come out crying....

But I plan to continue laughing!! :)

This year I will surround myself with people who truly love me and care about me. I have so many new things to look forward too.

Sew Excited

I get these urges to create things really randomly. I was sitting at my desk staring at my closet and remember that I had a bunch of material that I was using to sew a quilt. I took it out and was up all night sewing! I love it! Still not done so no pics yet. But i just love the creative phases I go through whether it is painting, sewing, pictures..it makes me who I am.

moving forward

Been doing a lot of thinking recently, a bit of soul searching, and I have realized that things don't always turn out as planned. At first, I was having a hard time accepting this but now I know that there is a different plan for me.  I had once lost hope but I see that many others failed hundreds of times before they achieved greatness.

Therefore, how would I ever achieve anything if I never failed?

It is those failures that make me a stronger person, a more desirving person. It is not the failures that I must focus on but the path it forces me to take because if life was always so easy.... success wouldn't be as sweet. All I can do is try my best, work hard, and never give up.

"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come." - Joseph Campbell

The Art of Travel

Traveling to Korea tomorrow and so the journey begins....

"One time seen is better than one hundred times heard about."

"To travel is to take a journey into yourself."

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln

Bulletproof

So I am that girl that falls in love with a song and listens to it thousands of times over and over and over! My new fav is Bulletproof by La Roux! Also, might I add that I love her makeup in the video. Check it out!
