dear blog
Blog was mostly a diary. Blog was mostly a photo album. Blog kept my guide for mostly myself to keep up with the lifestyle I tried to create for myself. Blog was a place for a guide that I adopted in order to be in a group. Blog let me stylen it how I pleased. Blog did not mind the tackiness. Blog was patient. Blog kept track of memories that were supposed to be happy. Blog was a place to share me. Blog was the only thing that did not judge me. Blog did not care that I was at the bottom of social hierarchy.

Macy's 2017 Bridal Expo
Hello hello! Been a little m.i.a. for a bit but wanted to pop a new post up!
The Macy's Bridal Expo was just a week ago, and it still feels extremely surreal! I got to choose two gowns to model for the event, 1 ball gown with gorgeous, delicate beading being worn for the runway.
I started out getting my make up done at Fashion Fair's booth. Then, I made my way over to Pure Beauty Salon to get my hair done into a braid encircling low bun after nibbling on cheese and grapes.
Showcasing gorgeous Demetrios gowns |
After getting all dolled up, I found myself in a sleek, fit and flare sparkling Demetrios gown with a flowing train, greeting people before the show with Michelle in a flirty, shorter gown perfect for a Spring or Summer wedding.
You can check out the live Runway on the Macy's Bridal Salon Facebook page!
Thanks for reading!
Until next time!
Until next time!

Mini Makeup Haul
I haven't done a lot of hauls after post college it seems, but here is another one.
I went shopping one day, and decided to grab a few things to try out.
I usually use brow pencils for my brows but decided to dip my toe into the magical world of eyebrow makeup! I missed the brow mascara craze back in 2011 or so when some gyaru would use it on their brows.

I tried out e.l.f.'s brow kit from Target. Though at times I can't get a very clean cut look with my brows like the pics on Instagram, the kit does a decent job. On no foundation and minimal makeup days, my brows look pretty natural and I'm happy.
Now on to the eyebrow shaping kit... I am not pleased. The scissors are ok at best and a little clumsy, the brush is too stiff and I just have no use for the comb. The attachment to the scissors weren't beneficial at all so they were tossed. The tweezers didn't provide enough grip and I ended up using them for lash application. Thank goodness I have a pair of tweezers that work or I'd be s.o.l.
Until next time!

Skin Care
With us doing make up from a few days a week to nearly every
day, it is very important to treat your skin nice in between you wearing your
make up. Here are some tips for you!
1.
Don’t:
Skipping the water. Going just for juices loaded with sugar, sodas and adult
beverages.
Do:
Hydrate, hydrate, HYDRATE with water and natural juices!
Why:
Hydration is super important for the cells in your body, not just your face!
Being dehydrated causes the skin to dry out, causing wrinkles and looking dull.
*Alcohol dehydrates you and you need to make
up the water that is lost.
2.
Don’t:
Sleeping in your make up!
Do:
Clean!
Why:
Depending on your make up usage and how long you wear it during the day,
PLUS keeping it on as you sleep prevents your skin from breathing. This causes and or helps break outs, and aging
of the skin.
After every night, before you close your
eyes and dream of your next cute code for an event, meet up or general outing,
remove your lashes, lens and make up with a gentle cleanser suited for your skin
type.
3.
Don’t: Not
exfoliating.
Do:
Exfoliating gently.
Why:
Exfoliating with a gentle exfoliating cleanser sloughs off the dead skin on top of the new
skin that makes you look dull and dry.
*However,
doing this too much or too rough will damage the skin instead!
4.
Don’t:
Not wearing an appropriate sunscreen or moisturizing.
DO:
Wearing an appropriate sunscreen and moisturizer daily.
Why:
Applying an appropriate sunscreen before your foundation will help block some
of the UV rays from your skin while you are out and about. Moisturizing before
you put on your make up and after helps keeps your skin supple, soft and smooth
especially if you are weathering
harsh winter temperatures.
5.
Don’t:
Eating bad foods regularly. Not eating your veggies.
Do:
Eat a healthy and balanced diet and take your vitamins.
Why:
Eating bad foods do not give you the nourishment you need to have healthy
looking skin. Eating lean meats and fish, and lots of veggies and fruits is
best!
Taking a boost of vitamins and supplements
not just for the health benefits can help your skin and hair grow! Who wouldn’t
want that!? You can also add in collagen pills to your vitamin regiment to help
give you a little boost with your skin care.
6.
Don’t: Frowning, being angry and stressed.
Do:
Meditate and calm down.
Why:
Being able to calm yourself down is very important. When you are stressed out,
it manifests in your body. You don’t want to be so stressed out that you are
constantly frowning or furrowing your brows, causing wrinkles over time. Center
yourself, breathe, and get that inner peace! Doing yoga or working out for
about 30min a day can help expend some of that restless energy. You can also
make yourself a nice warm bath with bath salts or bath bombs to relax in too!
