“Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons ambition, but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.” -Joseph Addison

Happy Fathers Day! We love you so much Daddy! Thank you for always making sure we are happy and smiling! You’ve taught us how to be good people with pure hearts. I could never thank Bhagvan (God) enough for bringing you into our lives. You have given my sister and I so much love, we are so lucky to have a man like you to call our father. You have never asked for anything but I wish I could give you and mom the world. You are my hero and nobody not even my future husband will compare to you. High five homie you’re awesome!

Five Summer Must Haves.

Hello! Hope everyone is having a good start to the summer. It is SO hot already in Texas already in the 90′s! So summer is here which means bright colors, casual hair, and tanned bodies. Here are my five summer must haves! Thanks for reading. Xoxo.

-Colored Denim Shorts: Fun, trendy, and is a change from the regular plain blue shorts worn all summer long!

-Jeweled Sandals: Can wear them day or night. Pretty, sweet, and stylish…Need I say more?

-Lipgloss and Bronzer: Okay technically these are two items but whose counting?! No one wants to wear too much makeup in this heat but you still want to look put together right? The solution is bronzer and lip gloss this way you your skin will glow, be dewy, and still look natural!

-Maxi’s: Comfortable, adorable, and hides your skin from the heat! Great for day or night, looks cute with sandals or wedges.

-Wavy Hair: Who wants to sit in front of mirror everyday straightening their hair?! Try washing it, spraying salt spray in it, put it up in a bun, and take it out in two hours and viola your hair will be wavy and luscious! 

Summer Must Haves!

Item of the Week.

 Hello! Luminous skin is beautiful skin..the best way to make sure you keep your skin looking fresh and clean, you need to keep yourself hydrated, make sure you are getting enough sleep, and cleansing every morning and night. I do have a secret weapon it’s by Bare Minerals “Intensive Glow Pads Brightening Treatment” $35 at Ulta. The pads infuse skin with potent vitamins and minerals and increase cell turnover to deliver incredible luminosity and noticeably improved skin tone and texture. I love how my skin looks now, it always looks so dewy and feels so refreshed with these pads! Thanks for reading. Xoxo.

Brace Yourself!

Hey loves! Accessories are probably one of my most favorite parts of dressing up, I love adding in little details here and there to really give my outfit some more “oomph!” For example I love wearing colorful bracelets with my little black dresses, or if I’m wearing a floral sundress I will add some bracelets with spikes to add a bit of edge to my outfit. Lets add some full fingered rings and stackable rings into this mix, they are half punk half dainty. You can wear them with anything and everything. Since I’m buying costume jewelry, I’m not willing to spend too much on it. Good places to find good finds are Francesca’s Collections, Forever 21, and Charming Charlies. Thanks for reading Xoxo.

BRACE YOURSELF.

Hair Chameleon!

Hi y’all! I love changing up my hair frequently…every couple months I swear I have a new style…seriously I am such a hair chameleon! I have had so many different lengths and many different hues of brown. And I’m very proud to say that I have NEVER worn extensions. Anyways, there have been lots of changes in my life lately and since I am starting fresh I thought why not cut my hair and lighten it to go with this new chapter in my life. Thanks for reading. Xoxo.

Be a Showstopper: How to Create a Spring Glow!

Tags

, , , , , ,

Hello! It’s been so long since I have written in my beloved blog and oh how I have missed it! Hope everyone is doing well and loving the sunny weather..except it’s been raining a lot lately in Texas! Now lets get down to business people! The best part about Spring/Summer makeup is keeping it light and natural. This is the time of the year where you do not want to overdue it and look like your makeup took more than a couple minutes. The essentials you need to create that dewy/glowy look is; tinted moisturizer, eyeliner, neutral colored blush, lipstick or lipgloss. Thanks for reading. Xoxo.

Apply tinted moisturizer, (and concealer wherever needed). Try Tarte Smooth Operator Tinted Moisturizer $36 or Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer $43 both sold at Sephora.

Try a peach toned blush over your cheekbones, and then tap a bit of highlighter upwards over your cheekbones to add some dimension and a good glow. Try NARS “Torrid” for the blush  and NARS “Albatross” for your highlighter both sold at Sephora for $29.

If you feel “naked” without eyeliner I would suggest lining the inside of yours on the top and bottom this will make your eyes appear bigger and is still clean enough for the day time. Try Makeup Forever “Aqua Eyes” $18 at Sephora. P.S. I love the new Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara $7 at drugstores. 

Last but not least, lets talk about bright lips! Try pink, red, or purple hues, these are the three big lip colors for the Spring/Summer season!

Lipstick: Try MAC “Candy Yum Yum” (bright pink), MAC “Ruby Woo” (matte red), and MAC “Odyssey” (plum) $15 at Nordstrom.

Gloss: Try Dior “Dormeuse” (a creamy pink), “Rouge Dèfendu” (a bright cherry red), or “Angèlique” (pale creamy peach) $29 at Sephora.
