The Truth About Makeup


Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back 💞

For today's post I wanted to talk about beauty and more in depth makeup.  No this isn't a post where I review makeup products.  This is more of an opinion on my view on makeup in general.

     One thing is for sure I am a total girly girl.  I could spend hours in places like Ulta, Sephora and MAC just looking at all the different makeup products.  Ever since I was younger I have always played dress up including putting on makeup.  Now thankfully my makeup techniques have come a long way.  Thank you beauty YouTubers for that!  At the end of the day I put on makeup not because society tells me I need it.  I wear makeup because I like how it adds to a specific look I am trying to achieve.

     Makeup is something that I use to think I had to wear in order to be socially accepted.  The only way to get a man is if you are done up 24/7.  Insert heavy eye roll 😒  I don't know about any of the rest of you girls but some days I am doing good if I get dressed and brush my hair.  I am not gonna lie I use to be the type of girl that had to have a full face of makeup before leaving their house.  Heaven forbid someone actually see me in public with out makeup.  😱

       The point I am trying to make is that makeup shouldn't define you.  We are all beautiful without it, and makeup only enhances the beauty we already have.  No girl should ever have to feel that they are not beautiful without makeup.  If you don't want to wear makeup you don't have to it's ok.  You go out their and rock that bare face.  As I have gotten older I have come to the realization that I am the same person with or without the makeup.  Makeup is like any other accessory.  It's like wearing jewelry or shoes. I personally like to get dolled up but that is just me.  Other girls that is just not their thing and we need to accept that.

I dare each of you who have a fear or hard time leaving your house without makeup to try it.  Also, we need to stop putting other girls down and pressuring them into thinking makeup is the only way to feel and look beautiful.



Post a pic of yourself makeup free.  No edits or filters just you and your beautiful bare face!

Until next time, have a great day and God Bless😊

Getting My Groove Back!

Hey Ya'll, January 1, 2014 I embarked on my own weight loss journey.  I had attempted many times before but I made sure this time was different.  On the outside I seemed like a happy person but on the inside I was disgusted with the person I saw.  I remember crying myself to sleep at night and feeling like maybe I am meant to just be a "bigger girl."  This was my lowest point in life when I was at my own rock bottom.  It was a dark and negative place that I never want to return to.   Ever since I was a little girl I had always been chubby and would look at food and felt like I gained 20 pounds.  I didn't know what moderation was and ate because I loved food (still love food).  Many people don't know this about me but I had a binge eating disorder that I kept very private.  Food controlled  my life and it was my go to especially during stressful times.  So on January 1, 2014 I told myself that my resolution would be to get the weight off.  We have all

Update on Mom

Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back 💞 Todays blog post was not easy to write but with permission from mom she has allowed me to share a moment that I pray no one ever has to face. August 15, 2017 a day that seemed like any other day.  Mom and I were on our way to the cancer center.  While I was pulling into the parking garage mom gets a phone call.  The call was from her radiation oncologist informing her of a stat MRI.  We walk into the cancer center like all the other times we have.  She gets her lab work and we walk over to her little pod waiting for treatment.  The nurse comes over and informs us that they needed to start an iv for the MRI.  I began getting a little anxious due to the urgency the nurses and doctor had.   Mom has been very unstable and weak the past couple of weeks.  Walking has become a struggle for her and it just seemed like mom was moving backwards towards recovery.  We place mom in a wheelchair and I wheel her down to the outpatient imaging.

The Past Month...

Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back💞 I wanted to explain why I haven't uploaded a blog post in a while.   The picture I chose today is a major part of why I've been so busy.  I began classes again and just wanted to show off the beauty of UA.  My school schedule is Monday through Friday and I'm a full time student.  This semester has been hard for me though.  I love learning and attending my classes, the problem I am having is wanting to be social.  A huge part of me just wants to be able to attend each of my classes and not talk to anyone.  I have changed in a major way ever since receiving the news on mom.  Some of my classes are also challenging for the simple fact what we talk about is something I can relate to.   Earlier this week I really wanted to withdrawal from this semester.  School became overwhelming and I just didn't know how I could get through this semester.  I felt guilty for going to school and be away from mom.  In between and after my cla
