Update on Life

Hey guys! I have exciting news.  I'll be moving to Dallas in less than 2 weeks.  I'm excited for new beginnings and all God has in store.  The past couple of years have not been the easiest for my family and I.  Moving is always a pain and as you know as a business owner it is important for me to establish a business and grow a clientele. I'm looking forward to doing that in Dallas and call it HOME!  I'm thrilled to network with other professional makeup artists and photographers in the industry.  If you are in the area and follow my blog and  my work I can't wait to meet you.
Also I've been swamped with life and I'm currently working on getting my Esthetic license so I've been a little MIA on my blogging and social media posts.  I can't wait till I get settled because I am going to bring you the BEST!  Thank you to all of you for your support.  It seriously  means EVERYTHING to me!!!
When I was at church this Sunday I vividly remember one of the pastors speaking a word to the congregation and it ministered to my heart because I felt like God was speaking that straight to me.  He said we might feel like life isn't going anywhere and you maybe stuck in a waiting period and wondering if God's forgotten about you but in that time that is when the most action happens from God.  He is perfecting your plan, He is aligning everything for that right moment for you.  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

His Promises are YES and AMEN!!!!

I continuously have to remind myself of that!  He is faithful to his promise! I can't wait to update you guys on everything!

xoxo,

Fall Makeup Look Inspiration

Wow time flies! We are already in November!  And I am so excited I finally got to do a makeup look for you guys. I felt really inspired to do a makeup look especially since fall is here!

How did I find the inspiration for this look you maybe wondering?  I shall fill you in. ;)  

It all started with the Nordstrom Nsale.  This top that I'm wearing in the picture is actually from the sale.  I loved the color so I had to purchase it.  Then a couple weeks past and I was in search for a dark lip.  When I used to work for MAC cosmetics I remembered I  always loved how  Viva Glam III lipstick looked on me.  I made a MAC run to get the lipstick and while I was there I picked out the PERFECT lip liner to go with it MAC's Prolong Wear lip liner in Be Spoken For. Ugh it's the best combination ever! A few weeks past and I was ready for a new palette.  I kept seeing the Modern Renaissance Palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills in my news feed so I ended up purchasing it too.

I used Love Letter from the ABH Modern renaissance palette all over my lid and antique bronze on the crease to create a smokey effect. I really like the change it gave my everyday look.  These colors compliment every skin tone! Make sure to try them you won't regret it! :)

Basic to Chic

I am going to start a new segment on my blog for you guys.  I want to bring you more about what I discover and see out there that is totally worth your reading and viewing time. 

I'm going to start featuring a blogger for you.  I feel for myself as a blogger it is important for me to support other bloggers by sharing their content.  It offers a different variety for my readers and I love that. 

Reading blogs is so great.  For me as a mom that's all I do these days because reading a book from cover to cover just doesn't happen any more! :(  But reading different blog posts keeps me knowledgeable on current events, fashion, health, etc. And it keeps my writing and vocabulary skills in check! Gotta love that!

Today I'm featuring the stylish Tamy Lugo who I discovered on Instagram.  What really drew my attention to her was her positivity and charming style.

In Tamy's latest blog post she show us how to turn your wardrobe from basic to chic on her Vstylist Blog and I love it! Make sure to check her out! :)
