Feeling the Blues

I was having one of those days where you just don't feel like smiling because you feel nothing is worth smiling about. Obviously, there are many things worth smiling about...I was just having one of those days. I feel like I've had this little cloud hovering over me the past couple of weeks and it's just been raining on me nonstop.

I have been feeling a little better, sometimes it's a matter of really saying FUCK IT. 

I did that this Friday when I said I needed to stop being EMO and start being myself again! I needed to get out, distract myself, dance, listen to music, party & bullshit and what better than to do so with my favorite girls in the world! I had a great time and I'm so happy I got out and enjoyed myself, stress and worry free!


I am so blessed to have these two girls in my life! I have known them for eight years now and I'm glad we continue building memories and pick up where we leave off each time. I love my girls!

What's In My Purse-You'd Be Surprised


I really have no business overflowing my purse like this! But at least I use my purse to it's full capacity! I dont always carry the same stuff in it either it all changes day to day.

One of my viewers on YouTube suggested I do a "What's in Your Purse" video, so I figured I'd jumpstart and do a blog post as well.

I carry my journal so I can write randomly about feelings, ideas, or just anything that comes to mind. I also use it to add clippings from magazines, news papers, or places I plan to visit during the year so it's convenient for me to carry with with me at all times.
I carry An Old Friend From Far Away because it gives me ideas on what to write about and helps refresh my memory and bring back old memoriess. I havn't been posting my entries on Blogger, but I'm using this book to write a memoir and keep all entries saved on my laptop.
The Daily Writer too, gives me ideas on what to write. These entries will be seen on Blogger as well.  I like skimming the pages to gather more ideas and become inspired.
I'm taking an English 1-B online class for the intersession before Spring and we have TONS and TONS of work to do each week. I keep my planner handy to keep track of my assignments, things to do, and important events.
& Of course, being that I enjoy writing so much, The Pocket Wadsworth handbook comes in handy for a lot of reasons! Gramma, punctuation, styling, MLA formats...the list goes on.
I have these gloves I got for X-mas from Lizo. I like these because the fingers are uncovered making it easy to grasp things when I need to and can simply undo the mitten end and cover my fingers when need be.
I carry these two items which I too got for Xmas from Audrey. The lotion is great to keep my hands moisturized and the body spray is great too when I want to feel a little refreshed. (I now left these in my desk at work).
Don't ask me why I have two different polishes in my purse! I originally had the OPI nail polish in my purse incase I had any chipped nails I could easily touch them up. This week I decided to color them with China Glaze and therefore ended up with two different colors. These are now back home where they belong.
My makeup bag of course!
Hand sanitizer I got from Crystal in a giveaway I won! Smells great and keeps my hands nice and clean!
MI Paste I use when I add my invisalign trays! Helps fight cavities! And my Crest Weekly Clean paste I now transferred over to my desk along with my other toothbrush and paste to wash teeth after eating.
FLOSS! I hate getting things stuck inbetween my teeth so Floss is a MUST-Have!
A bookmark with no Book! This was at the bottom of my purse! No wonder I coulnd't find it!! Cute isn't it :)
Cash! I'm surprised to find cash at the bottom of my purse as I never carry cash on me. It's always plastic. I need to make a habit of carrying cash with me more often.
I got this top coat from Grace in a goodiebag she gave me. I have to say I love this stuff!! It's by Jafra and I love how it works. I think this is one of the best top coats I've tried.  Again, I had this in my purse so I can easily touch up nails when need be. This too, is back on the shelf where it belongs :)
Bunch of cards! I was cleaning out my wallet which I got tired of using and needed to run out so I just threw any cards into my purse and here's what they are.
I drafted this on Monday and that's what I had at the time. Today, it's not as packed and has different things in it! I love my purse though!! It's one of my favorites in a long time.

What do you carry in your purse?

Dinner at Chilis

Hola Everyone! Happy Friday!

I had dinner with my old supervisor Margarita at Chilis last night. I hadn't seen her in a long time and I was so happy to see her and catch up.  She was telling me all about her love life and how wonderful it's been. I'm truly happy for her and a bit jealous (in a good way of course) can't help but want something like it for yourself :) (unless you're married and have it all that is).

This was the outfit I wore for the evening. 

Leather Jacket by a.n.a (a new approach) from JCP
Black & White Striped Top from Torrid
Black Skinny Jeans
Burgundy Satin/Velvet Flats by Newport News found @Ross
Scarf purchased @Ross
Watch - NY&Co.






I kept makeup simple and neutral for the most part and a I'm wearing my new favorite lip balm on my lips and a watch I purchased at NY&Co. I got so many wonderful compliments from Margarita! She said she LOVED the watch and how beautiful light sparkles right off it. She was in awe when she learned I only got it for 11 bucks!


I feel like getting dolled up, wearing a dress and hitting the club tonight but don't know what I'll do! We'll have to wait and see. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Sally Hansens Natural Butter Lip Shimmer

Hola Chicas!

I wanted to share a beauty favorite today.  I don't buy a lot of makeup because I have a 7-Drawer organizer full of it and I really don't need anything else. In fact I'm actually trying to make space by selling a few things so stay tuned.

Today, I wanted to share this new lip favorite of mine. I received this amazing lip shimmer from Audrey along with many other Xmas goodies.  I have never seen or heard of these lip shimmers before and since Audrey sent it to me I wanted to try it out and make use of what she picked out for me.

Sally Hansen Natural Lip Shimmer in Bliss

Can I just say I am in LOVE! This has become my favorite lip item since Xmas! I wear it all the time and I will need to find new ones soon. This stuff moisturizes my lips and leaves them feeling soft and smooth for hours.  I add some twice a day; in the morning before I go to work and after lunch.  The stuff feels great on my lips and adds the right amount of color and can I add that I'm in LOVE with this particular shade! It's called Bliss  heres a swatch for you to see. 
 I cant stop bragging about how much I love this stuff because I truly do. You can wear it lightly or add a few layers to pack on the color and extra moisture.  It's not as moisturizing as a chap-stick is and it's not as slick or light as chap-stick is either. The formula is semi-thick but moisturizing enough for a smooth application and smells fruity. The smell isn't contagious and doesn't taste like anything. I've tried lip products in the past with very strong fruity smells that give your tastebuds a bitter taste, I'm glad this one doesn't have that effect. 
Lips full of Bliss :)
Have any of you girls tried this stuff before? If so, how do you like it?

Till next time,
xoxo
