I need to challenge myself (letter to self)

Today I walked and walked from place to place in the rain- I was at times very discouraged to keep doing what I did. I didn't have to- but it is what I need to, for myself. 

Since my internship with the Southwestern Company-selling books door to door- I told myself I would not let myself regret chances/opportunities again. I did not do as great as I had wanted to with the internship. That summer of selling books was suppose to instill in me strong work ethics- to push me to my limits and beyond. It did.  I promise myself from then on that I would not give up on myself because "things" I will encounter are difficult. Each experience, I would push myself to do better, to be better.

For me, I feel that I need to go through many difficult and challenging experiences so that I can grow, define myself, and be that person I've always wanted to be.

This is my barely second day-but I am proud of myself for walking and walking (well, driving too) when I felt that I should have gone home.

Not everyone need your service- and that is fine. Keep on knocking, the more "No's" will lead you to greater and more "Yes's" (is that correct?)

If what I need has not come to be- I will go out and chase it. (Not in a horrible bad way, in a good way)

If you have a vision, a goal- be like the Energizer Bunny and keep going =)

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.
