Fear

It seems like FEAR has been the topic of many conversations among family and friends in my life. Especially this past week. This video comes right on time at the end/beginning of a new week. Fear is not of God and Fear and Faith cannot co-exist, but I know first-hand it's easier said, than done, to let go of it.  So, what are we afraid of? Why DO we let fear cripple or paralyze us? Hopefully you will be inspired by this video. Let's take steps to release the fear in our lives and live the life God called us to have.

Colored Natural

For the past couple of months, I've been wanting to color my hair.  Whenever I'm going thru creative drama, I take it out on myself externally (e.g. wanting a piercing, cutting or coloring my hair, wanting a tattoo).  What is that about?  I've been thinking about what color I may want for months now and still couldn't decide between red, auburn, blonde, highlights and of course leaving it the natural black that it is.  Below are a few colors that I like.  Keep in mind that although I'm creative, I work in a condervative environment, so some colors wont do.

Any plans to color for the Spring/Summer season?  What color are you going with?

 
The mix of colors in her curls is divine

 I love the white blinde look, just not sure it would look good against my skintone?
I think I can get away with this color blonde without looking crazy

 
This color is too gorgeous for words and that purple lip??  FAB!

 
Never done red before, but this is dope.  Looks more purple on this screen
 
 
These two colors might be my best best
 

I am so feeling this teal over blonde color.  I would give a right arm to do something like this if just for a day.

FabFit Challenge - April Updates

I was planning on updating my FabFit Challenge stats at the end of April.  Today is good though, because I had to go get weighed at my doctor's office.  So, I didn't make my personal goal for the month.  I really wanted to be a certain weight by Mother's Day (my first one - muey EXCITED), but I did lose a few pounds.  I'm going to have to SQUEEZE into my MDO (Mother's Day Outfit). Here goes...


Stats:

Pre-Pregnancy Weight: 165lbs
March's Weight: 170lbs
Current Weight: 167lbs 
Short-term Goal Weight: 160lbs
Long-term Goal Weight: 155lbs

My weight is coming off surely, but quite slowly.  I've cut back quite a bit, but can take it up a notch with lowering the amount of breads/cereals I eat. I try to get to the gym at least four times a week, although last week was a bust due to our first family vacation.  This week was a bust because I'm dealing with a health issue (urgh).  Hopefully, I can resume soon.

My Day at The Makeup Show NYC 2013


Here are a few pics from my time at the Makeup Show NYC, this past Sunday and Monday.  I remember the first year I went (back in 2008), the Makeup Forever Booth and the MAC booths were the two you could not get to because of the crowds.  Years since, every booth is packed!  I figured I get there early to bypass any lines...ummm, yeah okay.  I still had a blast though, I love previewing new collections and lines, catching up with fellow beauty bloggers, catching glimposes of pros in the industry (peep my photo of AJ Crimson AND below and I was up and close with Sam Fine!!) and of course BUYING goodies! The last two shots are what I picked up from the show.  Separate post to follow.
























Stay Tuned!

Spring Trends - Bright Color and Stripes

I am not a trendy girl:  color has always been my thing.  I wear bright colors all year long.  Yes, even through the dreary winter.  So, when I saw that color was one of the 'IT' things this season, I was part happy and part like 'ummm, okay??'  I must admit that for the first time in my life, black was my go to wardrobe color, but lets's chalk that up to leftover baby weight.  Anywho, I picked these beauties up at the beginning of the year.  Winter went  it by so quickly, I didn't have a chance to wear them.  Also, I finally got a striped jacket.  I stalked it till the price dropped ($79 was the original and I got it for $31).  Haven't worn it yet, either...smh
