Array of Threads…. Purple Passion

Today, I got my Inspiration from a Flower {Purple Passion}. I came across it surfing the net. Now It's not my favorite flower but, it's following right behind. This seemed pretty cool, I mean searching through the closet for an outfit that would represent a flower. Thinking I might try this once a month! I’ll keep you posted on that….

So, how do I look??

Have you ever went to Target and when you walked through those slidding doors, you had this feeling that the Pearly "Red" gates have open up, the Trumpets start to sound, and everything that Glitters is GOLD! (if only for that moment) YES! that is me, I loose my MIND.

FOTD- MAC "Sea & Sky"

I so got off of my lazy (sick) butt today, and decided to play around in some of the NEW makeup I recently purchased.

Now, I really should call this "EOTD" (because I was playing around… Didn’t feel like doing the whole face, since I wasn’t going anywhere)

And which Duo did I use??............... The Bright, BOLD, Vibrant MAC “Sea & Sky”




P.S. Don't yall talk about my Head scarf!

What I used:

* Too Faced Shadow Insurance
* NYX Concealer in a jar – TAN
* MAC mineralized “Sea & Sky”
* Coastal Scents- “88 warm palette” – first column, last shadow from bottom (see pic below)
* Wet ~n~ Wild- crème eyeliner (BLK)
* Mascara- L’oreal Telescopic, Maybelline Lash STILETO, mini brush (Label has rubbed off)

Now I ask, How do I look?
I'm a newbie @ this and would love to hear your feedback!

MAC haul

Hey Bloggies-

Since its Sunday and very quiet around the house, I’ve decided to post a couple of things…

So I recently brought some USED but NEW to me MAC items. See one of my GIRLFRIENDS knew of a makeup artist around town, that was selling new/used MAC makeup that she no longer needed or wanted and since I am a beginner to the makeup world I was super EXCITED. See I know some of the items I purchased are not new (to the Makup world), but they sure are new to me! See I am slowly building my makeup collection.

My NEW MAC shadows:
Far left- Odd Couple
Middle- Heat Element
Far right- Sea & Sky
Quad- “Smoking Eyes” (Next2Nothing, Satin Taupe, Showstopper, Smoking)

I’ve also swatched them for you guys:

*side note* these swatches don’t show how vibrant/pigmented they are in person

Can't wait to try them out!

Smooches,

CONVERSATION piece

Hey Everyone,
I am back….. see this morning I posted “Getting a few WORDS off my chest” and it opened up a topic for Discussion…. I received this email from a friend, which had me speechless. This is mind Boggling to me so I ask-

What are your thoughts?
Do you agree/disagree?

Leave your comments…. Lets Discuss!

*Smooches*

Mi Familia.....

Okay.... Thought to put together a collage of MY FAMILY
*side note*
To those of you who care! If your not posted, then that means we need to get together to take some PICS!

Smooches......

Getting a few WORDS off my chest!



So, today as I woke up….. I am in a somber mood. Why is it that everyone thinks I am a good catch, but I never seem to get caught? Is it because I am looking, longing for a partner to love me for me, as I will do the same for them…. Every guy I meet thinks that if they take me to a movie or dinner, they are entitled to come back to my place…. For the cookie?? Is it a vibe I give off? What?? Statistics show that for every man there are at least 7 women. Why can’t I find that man that is for ME only. Where do I begin my journey?? Where should I go? To find that “different breed”. Most people say you want a GOD fearing man, but look at those, the majority of them cheat, lie, and deceive…. Are my standards to high? Should I lower them? I just don’t get it… am I looking for the Mr. Right now and not the Mr. Long term? How does one differentiate between the two……

Sometimes I wish I was the ugly duckling, because those hood rats (sorry to say) can keep a man. What do they do, that I don’t? Sometimes, I wish I was still in my relationship and just bit the bullet and kept my mouth shut, maybe he would have learned to love me for me, and I learned to just let things go, maybe I should not have demanded so much…. Maybe I should have just given a little bit more. I think he would’ve eventually changed…. Right?? (GOSH, I miss him dearly) What happened to the time where the MAN was the MAN, where he did what came natural, and not was demanded or asked… What happen to the MAN that our mothers, grandmothers, and their mothers where married to. Why have the roles reversed?

Could it be that the women before us raised “soft” boys, and didn’t instill in them how to take care of the household and become a MAN, or did they raise Daughters to become too “INDEPENDENT” and to not need a man, to not put up with the basic differences in a relationship to make it work?

I for one, believe deep down that maybe I am “to INDEPENDENT” whereas I come across as I can take care of myself, that I don’t need a man, or wait this is what I have heard the last couple of weeks…. “See you make too much, you have everything, I can’t offer you anything, because you already have it” What?!? … So am I not suppose to be able to take care of myself, and my son, am I not suppose to be Independent for my family….. What happen to where we can come together and share what we have, I balance you, you balance me…..


Why AM I intimidating to EVERY man I meet??
