Your Own kind of BEAUTIFUL


So many girls out there doing the extreme to look a certain way,
Dying for the look that "society thinks is beautiful"
But instead of that, they should really look within themselves,
and realize that they are beautiful in their own kind of way

Everyone has a beauty that is unique, and theirs
There is always ways to enhance that beauty 
that doesn't require extreme measures

Be confident, be real, be YOU!
Being beautiful starts with you!


“Raising one’s self-esteem takes changes in behavior. Behavior will change with practice and intention. Self-esteem is an achievement–a process that empowers, energizes and motivates. It is not something that we have, but the experience of things that we do. Self-esteem is the experience of being capable of meeting life’s challenges and being worthy of happiness” 
-( La Belle Foundation S.E.L.F.).

Perfect Eyebrows

As everyone know I am super into eyebrows, I think it is essential to have a nice, perfectly shaped eyebrow.   So I am always shopping around for new things to enhance mine.  I love all of Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyebrow kits and products, they are really worth every penny.

So one lovely day at the mall, with extra time to kill, I decided to go in Sephora, one of my favorite stores, and test out a few products that I would never really buy....This one product that always caught my attention was a highlighting pencil from Anastasia's line...This particular item I always really thought it was "worthless" to buy, I mean... C'mon it was a simple little highlighting eyebrow pencil?!  But the moment I picked it up and tested, it did exactly what I have been wanting and searching for this whole time. I couldn't believe it, I looked passed this product and unrated it no less than 10 times, I undervalued it this whole time, SHAME ON ME!  It is now by far one of my favorite tools in my make-up bag.

Here it is...........my beloved and magical MATTE HIGHLIGHTER PENCIL

$21.00 SEPHORA

It comes in 4 great colors: CAMILLE, BUFF, PASTEL and HALO.  I personally liked all of them, but chose to take the CAMILLE home, it just worked better for my skin tone.  This eyebrow tool is not only to shadow and highlight your eyebrows but it can also be used for yours lips as well, apply it as a base coat to prevent your lipstick from bleeding or feathering. You cannot go wrong with this pencil, everyone I have tried it on has LOVED IT!

Love is Real


AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

Beauty Tip

Without doubt, good skins starts with proper daily cleansing
to remove the skin from oil, grime, dirt and makeup

I just have to share this beauty tip with you readers!  Because after trying countless name products, I think I finally found one that I am in love with and super excited about.  The results are not only noticeably with the eye, but I can feel that it works but just touching my face.


The key facts to this product are:

  • Contains AHAs to loosen and invisibly remove dead skin cells. 
  • Removes make-up (including eye make-up) and washes away impurities in one action.
  • Oil-free non pore-clogging formulation. 
  • Eliminates the need for toner. 
  • Leaves skin feeling fresh and clean. 
  • & Fragrance Free.
Making it the ultimate face cleanser in the market right now that is gentle enough for you to use twice a day.  (I could honestly be their spokesperson people this is how much I believe this product is heaven sent, can't you tell?)  

Now that I found this product I will never spend another dime on anything else. I have read reviews online about it, and everyone seems to agree with me, and be just as in love with this item as I am.

For LOVE & BASKETBALL




Finally...
 I had the chance to update my blog!
Sorry to all my readers,

I am back from our basketball season in Europe,
I'm staying in Florida for about a month or so,
then going to Brasil to enjoy time with my family

I also have some great news, I signed up for summer classes at Florida State University
so I can freshen up on my studies, and dedicate some time for my learning.

Living in Europe for an entire 10 months out of there year definitely has it's ups and downs.
It is an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life, only a few people in the world can reap the amazing rewards of dating or being married to a man in sports.

But I know this must sound crazy for some people, but I miss having a job, doing something productive, for me, or for a company.  So I figured this off season, after I was done visiting family I would take some business courses at my favorite University, just to keep my mind going, and keep me on my grind, for what comes after basketball.

My life is anything but simple, but it is a great one I can't complain,
I don't even know what it is like to live in one place for more than 6 months anymore.
But I wouldn't change it for the world, especially when you are living life in the moment
in the name of
  LOVE & BASKETBALL.

I Will Always Be Yours



“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. ”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

Never Say Never, The Movie


For the first time yesterday, I watched Justin Bieber's movie
"NEVER SAY NEVER"
starring Justin Bieber, of course!

 I must admit, what a great documentary of his life that was.
I did not know much about Bieber prior to the movie,
besides the obvious fact that he is a millionaire 
and millions of little girls are infatuated by him and his music

But Bieber has a story, an amazing one.
In the movie he shared with viewers his upbringing in the small city in Canada,
being raised by his single mother, with the help of his grandparents,
Bieber always had music in his soul,
and without any professional assistance, 
he would sing, play the drums, guitar and perform.
The talent came naturally, and he needed an outlet
an audience....
So his mom decided to tape it and put it on youtube for family members to watch
and the rest is history.

Social Network assisted Bieber in becoming the fastest artist to rise to the top,
Not to mention his raw talent, skills and dedication.

He is a young kid with soul,
Admired by many,
respected by all,
He is humble, modest and most of all he has a heart of gold
He deserves all the fame in the world.

Never say never is a great movie, highly recommend watching it!
It brings a new understanding to this Bieber Fever

March Madness 2012


Wow! What a crazy and wild year this has been
NCAA March madness is pure mayhem
first Mizzou, then Duke...
now Georgetown and FSU...

What a year of upsets.

I know a lot of people were pretty mad at the performance of their favorite teams,
I mean, no one expected this much upset in one season
Everyone's brackets pretty much got destroyed from 
the defeat of big name teams.

I had high hopes and expectations for both my teams
The Georgetown Hoyas and The Florida State Seminoles
They both put on a great fight, and I am so proud of our seniors!
I was just hoping we would have advance and gotten a little closer to that Final Four
but unfortunately this is the year for the underdogs to shine.

March Madness is definitely the most exciting time of year 
for College basketball....

let the games continue.
