Hello & Farewell

Hi everyone,



It has been a month since I have posted anything. I've been on a mini "vacation" or actually "work vacation" to Waupaca, Wisconson. It has been a nice trip, although there may have been some downs, but overall, I'm very happy with the experience. Did you know Waupaca has 20+ something lakes, connected by channels? The trees are green everywhere, since the weather has been so sporatic, rain, thunder, humidity, sunshine, including storm warnings.  The city may be small, but there are many things to do (even if I didn't have time to experience most of them). However, the people here are very receptive and kind and wonderful =)



Spending time with my sister has taught me great patience, I have yet to attain the patience I need. It's difficult because you don't want to keep quiet when the other person is wrong or right, but sometimes you just need to keep your mouth quiet. Although my sister and I may not always get along or agree on the same things, or agree at all, actually, we argue too often and too much (makes my mother insane), but she has taught me that you just have to accept an individual for who she is.She is still amazing, wonderful, funny, and my sister. I know I probably drive her insane too =)  Not to mention she gave me lots of new shirts =) & makeup to update on later!


[I will steal her shoes in the pictures and bring them back to California because they are so comfortable!]
This trip has given me a wonderful gift that will be included in my list of life's suprises. Things happen for no reasons at all, especially when you don't expect them to. I am reminded that our lives, your life, my life, will ALWAYS have problems, but that's the way it is.  You can't quit because of those problems, you just do your best to deal with them one at a time, day by day, and cross your fingers things will work out *winks*


Farewell Waupaca, WI.

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.

My love for makeup

It's never been easier to document visually anything than now.  Mobile devices makes the process faster, easier, and "sharable." I'm happy  +Google+   has made it easier than ever to have all your photos from years ago in one place, at least if you have Android. As today is a new year, looking back at photos of years ago remind us of what we loved and what we aspired to be. Below are a compilation of pictures of my "journey" to practice makeup, not only to look and feel better, but it gives me a chance to be creative. Learning makeup brings out the artistic qualities in me and indeed, it can be a great distraction during stressful times.  My interpretation from Black Swan (the movie) Yup, I even started a YoutTube channel! I only knew how to apply 2 colors, over and over every day, on every single look. I experimented with different mascaras for us girls who have no lashes.
