Hello all my beauty stalkers.....

Hello all my gorgeous stalkers:
I wanted to do a follow up post to my Haircare 2011 video that I have posted on my YT and shared here on the blog. There are so many amazing brands of hair care out in the world today. Women and men live to go to the salon to get their hair cut, colored and treated. The beauty of these brands is that they allow for you to take care and maintain your color and quality of your hairstyle. Like I said in my video, I have very fine hair. When I was in high school, it was a lot thicker and big in curly. If you watch my video, you can see a fun little flashback of me rocking some big 80's curls. I always loved to get my hair done since I was very young. I lived in the salon with my mom watching her get beautiful haircuts and color. I always tried to be trendy with my styles and remember some crazy styles & colors I had. :)  In my twenties, I used to live to get my hair done with one of my bestest friends. We worked together and lived to plan when we were going to the salon and what we were going to do! Remember Susie Lol?? Anyhow, these days I am just as obsessed with keeping my hair healthy because I have done so many things to it. Here are some things that I mentioned in the video, but didn't really press upon too much. I am a firm believer in vitamins and it is essential to take biotin as well as vitamin E to promote strong hair, skin and nails. The most important thing is to drink a lot of water all the time. Water isn't only good for your hair, but also for your body in general. I really try to force myself to drink all I can. I also believe that deep conditioning is a must for all hair types. Even someone like me who has a tendency towards an oily scalp, I try to deep condition my ends once a week. That is where all the breakage is. It is also imperative that when you blow dry that you to it on warm heat. Heat is the biggest stress that we put on our hair and high heat can damage the follicles. Look into sulfate free shampoos such as L'oreal Ever Pure and Ever Sleek. They are great lines for clarifying once a week. One vital thing as well is to ALWAYS use a heat protector if you are going to flat iron. I cannot stress this enough. It is a great preventative for damage to your ends. Always keep in mind that the products that you use do not always have to come from the Salon or be very pricey. There are so many amazing brands that you can find in the drugstore, wal-mart, kmart, etc. In my video I did mention a little of each. I am big on Moroccan and Macadamia Natural oil lines because I do have sensitive hair. I also use L'oreal for purifying and organix to mix it up. That is something that is very important, you can change up your lines every month or two so that your hair gets the maximum benefits. Just don't be sold by one thing, go with what feels good for you and what you can afford. I hope this was helpful for you and I will include some pics of my products that I am using now! Until next time....Love, peace and beauty always!!!! Xoxo

Hello to all my beauty stalkers!

 Do you spend your life planning, worrying and stressing about anything and everything in your life? Do you wake up and get out of the shower only to look in the mirror and not like what you see? Do you look at yourself thinking that you look tired, haggard and not happy with yourself? You are NOT the only one! This happens everyday and this post isn't to tell you about what new product is out and send you buy anything. This is to tell you that you the most imperative item is in your beauty collection and you overlook it every single day: Your confidence!!!! That love for yourself that you need to make you smile and not care about what the world can throw at you. The best gift we have as human beings is the ability to change who we are. If there is something that we are not happy with, we can just take the initiative to make it better. It can be anything, emotional, mental or physical! The most frequent occurrence is when we let others affect how we live OUR lives. That is the hardest thing to overcome and it is vital to look at ourselves and make a stand to change that. NO ONE can dictate who you are or who you will become. You are so amazing and unique in your own special and were made for greatness!!! You have to tell yourself that every single day: You were made for GREATNESS! The most important saying is the truest of all: "In order to love someone, you must love yourself first". This is so true because so many get lost trying to please others and they are never happy. When I was planning my first filming of my videos, I was scared about how I would "like" myself on camera. I even stated it on Twitter asking my followers to say a prayer for me. It was then I got the best message from a very special person that told me that if I didn't believe in myself, no one else would. She was completely right! I mean your inner voice is imperative to accomplishing even the smallest task. Only you can tell yourself that you can do something and actually be confident enough to do it. This post is so important for me because I have been intimated so many times when starting this blog and my YT channel. Society is very complex and judgemental these days and with the Internet, those of us that are out there are exposed to everything! I created this for myself and my YT channel is all for me and those who believe in me. I know that I can do anything and I will do all I can to give myself a positive boost everyday! Are you up to the same challenge? I leave you with one of my favorite songs that is so true in its lyrics. Enjoy my gorgeous people...... <3 <3 <3 always and laugh often!!!

Hello my amazing beauty stalkers!!

I wanted to do a quick post in regards to my first YouTube video that I posted today! I wanted to share something about my skincare regimen and how it works for me. I am actually using my philosophy products and homemade toner in conjunction with my Olay clarify and cleanse daily scrub. So far, this has worked out for me and I wanted to share it with you as an FYI. I am also working on various topics and welcome contributions. Please feel free to let me know anything you want to hear about! I hope you enjoy my video and find it helpful. Peace and love to all.....Xoxo

Hello to my gorgeous stalkers and I hope you are having a lovely St. Patrick's Day full of love and laughter with those you make you smile!! In the spirit of this color induced holiday, I thought that I would let you in on a few of amazing natural skincare tips using something green! I spend a lot of time watching and reading about all sorts of amazing things that can truly keep you healthy and they are usually right in your kitchen cabinet. So without further delay, I want you all to take notice of a little item called Green Tea. It's not just for drinking anymore. Green tea is jam packed with antioxidants that are amazing for the skin. It can be rejuvenating and also filled with anti aging natural ingredients.  I have combination/oily skin and really find green tea to be soothing as well as helpful to any acne that I get. You can tons of at home recipes for masks, cleansers, etc all using green tea. I can definitely tell you from experience that it makes your skin feel AMAZING!! So with this in mind I wanted to share a couple of my favorite at home all natural skin recipes that I have learned:

1) Green Tea Toner:
 I learned about this from amazing makeup artist and YouTube Guru Leesha aka @xsparkage and it works beautifully.

1 part Apple Cider Vinegar
1 part Witch Hazel
3 parts green tea

Mix them together and place in a bottle that you can just use for everyday as an after cleansing toner. It revitalizes the skin and also helps with blemishes. I can't live without it.

2) Green Tea Ice facial
I learned from another amazing makeup artist and YouTube Guru Michelle Phan aka @ricebunny.
1 glass of steeped green tea
5 capsules of vitamin E

Once you have the steeped tea ready, poke a hole into each capsule of vitamin E and squeeze the liquid into the green tea. Then mix together. Once mixed, pour contents into an ice tray and freeze into popsicles. Use tooth picks and insert into the centers to be able to pull them out when frozen. After frozen pull one out and rub all over cleansed face.  It can be done either in the morning or evening. This is amazing for the pores, it reduces redness and is extremely rejuvenating for the skin.

3) Green Tea facial spritz
This is my last must have and something I always keep in the house. Living in Miami, there is a lot of humidity and heat that can be draining and crazy on the skin. Using a travel sized spray bottle, I just fill it with green tea and keep it in the fridge. If I am going out where I will be in the sun or heat, I will take it and use it to freshen up and spritz my face. This is great for freshening up the skin and helps with controlling oil.

I encourage you all to go online and search for all kinds of at home recipes. Sometimes you can find the most amazing ingredients right in your home. So I hope that these tips are helpful for you all and I wish you an amazing and safe St. Paddy's Day! Let me know of any go to natural recipes that you use.

This is a little off topic of this blog....

I just want to ask that we all take a moment today and pray for those in Japan. Pray for them to get all the help they need and to find a way to recover from this tragedy. It is just a reminder of how short life is and how much we need to enjoy every moment. Xoxo

This blog will show the true meaning I believe behind beauty. I will have makeup, hair and skincare reviews.  But most of all I will asking for opinions, suggestions and forums that would be beneficial to subscribers.
