But have I lost my audience? I guess only time will tell. Well, first let me introduce the new and improved Yoli... Hi, nice to meet you. I am a woman who loves fashion, makeup, reading, and recently... Exercise!! I moved to Chicago for work and I am loving each new day of self and city discovery. I know... all the fat positive people will give me grieve for loving exercise, but it boils down to this for me... I want to be healthy for my kids. Which is why this collaboration with the other plus size beauties of the internet is so important.... Let's start from the beginning.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q57AYR2Ze8s/VOjxQdEJUCI/AAAAAAAA1aE/MAWsE6CexVc/s1600/YOLI022115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q57AYR2Ze8s/VOjxQdEJUCI/AAAAAAAA1aE/MAWsE6CexVc/s1600/YOLI022115.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
As a child I was that adorably cute chubby kid. But it wasn't until elementary that I realized, I was fat (insert sarcastic gasp here). Well, as it goes, kids are cruel. And they did not hesitate to remind me just how "not normal" I was on a daily basis. So you add being dark skinned to that and I was picked on relentlessly. I was told on a daily basis that I was "fat and ugly" to the point that I sought out council in the form of my mother. I went to her and asked in all seriousness "Am I fat and ugly?" To which my mother replied with equal seriousness... "No, you are beautiful and anyone who tells you different doesn't know what beauty is..." So, for this I applaud my mother. She did this right. She handled this situation like a superstar and then she took it one step further... Everyday (and I do mean EVERY DAY) my mother would tell me at different parts of the day how beautiful I was. Be it in the morning before school, or the middle of the day while we ran errands, or as she tucked me into bed each night. She did not miss a day to remind me that I was beautifully and wonderfully made. Yeah... my mom is pretty awesome like that. And that is where I got my overinflated self esteem. Does it mean that I NEVER doubt myself or this body? No it does not but let me not get ahead of myself. After that day... elementary school was no longer a problem. If someone called me fat or ugly, I laughed it off. Why, because they were not in on the awesomeness that was me. <br />
<br />
From that point on I was great until I hit 5th grade. And then the unthinkable happened... I got BOOBS. I got boobs before anyone else did. I actually got them in 4th grade but they weren't really noticible until 5th grade. And then started a whole other issue to get pass... mean girls. Of course, back then I didn't know that is what they were... to me they were my friends... and then one day, they weren't. They stopped speaking to me and eating lunch with me because I was the focus of all the 5th grade boys. To this day, I remember being really good friends with this guy named Waleed Robinson. We were both deformed, me with my boobs, and him with his... well... penis (back when I was a kid spandex was the thing to wear, and Waleed filled his out far more than the other boys - no socks). So he was my only friend and for a while I was okay with that... until the mean girls decided to spread rumors that Waleed and I were having sex (which we were NOT) but it was so hard to deal with that I just shut down. It was around this time that I stopped dressing like a girl. I mean I completely became a boy. I wore the biggest and baggiest shirts and jeans I could find. I stopped being the girly girl that my mother raised. My mother was so concerned that she put me in therapy. That is when they discovered I was manic depressive. But no amount of meds, therapy, or positive reinforcement could get me out of my funk. <br />
<br />

So then I turned 13. And my mother was excited because I showed interest in makeup. I loved makeup from day one. But heres the thing, I never wore it out of the house. I couldn't put myself into competition with the other girls. So I would only allow myself to be "pretty" in my house. What was really funny to me, was that even with my baggy boy clothes and lack of girly appearance... boys still sought me out. WHAT?!!! I'm still cute even when I am in clothes fit for a 300lb man? Okay. Note to self: Your face is cute regardless... lol.<br />

So that is the cycle. I would dress up for dances and such when I was allowed to go and that was the extent of the girl I would be unless it was the weekend or I was around people I felt safe with. I lost my virginity at 15 and then that is when my Dad had his superstar moment. He sat me down (yeah at the time I was mortified!!) and he explained to me something that would define me as a woman. "Although, I'm not happy that you've lost your virginity... I want you to know that you should never let a man control you because you have the power between your legs.Love and sex is not the same thing. If you remember that for the rest of your life... you'll be fine." Those words made me the woman I am. Scared my mom to death beacause I had no qualms having sex with whoever and not making him my "boyfriend". But I was an honor roll student. I didn't need those distractions. I liked sex but my Dad's words rang true... Love and sex are NOT the same thing. And I never forgot that. <br />
<br />
So fast forward to my senior year. Yes I was still dressing like a 30 year old man with no job but I was still cute. So imagine EVERYONES surprise when I showed up to prom in a red dress to show that I had a tiny waist and gigantic boobs. Yeah... that is the highlight of my high school career. Everyone thought because all the clothes were shapeless that my shape was the shape that my clothes were... but I wasn't that big, I just dressed like I was. I was still plus size wearing a solid size 12, however, I had a flat stomach and thick hips and thighs. I could have been a plus size model had I not gotten pregnant at 19 (even though I do not regret my son in the least). I felt like I went into adulthood really knowing my body... but I was wrong.<br />

In my twenties (after birth of my son). I dated some really not nice men. They made me hate my body and myself. Some called me fat, ugly, and some told me that no one would want me because I was a single mother. All that confidence I had disappeared amist some really depressing years. And then I turned 25 and after the man I thought I loved left me for his crazy ex, I decided to be celebate for a year. I didn't complete the year (cause that ish was HARD) but I did learn a lot about myself. After I started dating again I started dating 2 men. One was this guy that I regret everyday... the other was my husband. 12 years later, my Dad's words still resonate with me. Love and sex are not the same thing, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE that man. His devotion to me and my body no matter my size is heartwarming. Have you ever had a bad day and just hate your body. Maybe because you ate poorly or someone said something hurtful. Well, imagine coming home after a day like that to take off your clothes in front of your spouse only to find that he has stopped what he was doing to watch you get undressed. That is what it is like in my house everyday. So when I say we go together for life... I mean it... I pity the chick I will have to murder if she tries to come between me and my husband. I equally pity any man who thinks he will come anywhere near being a great a man as my husband is...<br />

So that is my body story... the ending is simple. I'm a 37 year old mother of 3 kids. I recently decided to lose weight because I was tired of being tired all the time. And with each pound that I lose... I love my body even more (if that is possible). And I don't love it more because its smaller. I love it more because it's powerful. And although my post is not laden with awesome photos of my youth... Know that every memory is filed in my brain to help me push through any situation. <br />

And just so you know how important that advice from my mother was... I said the same and passed down that same knowledge to my girls. <br />

I can’t discuss it here because people I don’t want knowing my business read my blog. But just know that it was tiring and depressing. But through it all I tried my best to remain positive. And then Friday hit… and I just lost it. I stayed in bed most of the day and cried a few times. Saturday, I just slept all day. I know it sounds lazy but I think the stress of the week got to me. </p> <p>Now this morning I had plans to go to church. But when I got up this morning, I just didn’t think I would make it to church. I told myself, God knows my heart. But then I thought… yeah… the devil knows your lazy heart… now get up and prove him wrong. So I got up today and got ready for church. I was lazy but I made it. And the sermon was what I needed to hear because I was letting this week take over my spirit. The sermon was about holding onto anger and letting it affect your life. And about how we allow that anger to cause us to sin because we know that we worship a forgiving God. And that is the lesson I needed to learn today. Going forward, I will be a better person. </p> <p>Now onto the fashion…</p> <p>I was inspired by an outfit on <a href="http://instagram.com/deepqueendiva" target="_blank">instagram</a>. Follow <a href="http://instagram.com/pinklipstickhundra" target="_blank">pinklipstickhundra</a> for inspiration. She has another page called <a href="http://instagram.com/stylebydnicole" target="_blank">Stylebydnicole</a> where she posts her Polyvore creations. I love her creativity and use of color. And you all know how I feel about color… So I would ask a question here but today all I want to know is <strong>What was the best part of your week? </strong><em>Hasta la proxima ~besitos~</em></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-F40KfZyBAZw/U2bDWx2_a2I/AAAAAAAAdMw/4fEEE_ud7j8/s1600-h/014.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="014" border="0" alt="014" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-6j_3ejzUXRk/U2bDYD3SRHI/AAAAAAAAdM0/Pgs-lb1ZYS0/014_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="410" height="546"></a></p> <p align="center"><strong><u><em>What I Wore to Church Today:<br></em></u></strong>Mickey Mouse Tee: Wal-mart <br>Bodycon Skirt: Forever21 Plus <br>Denim Vest: Debs Plus<br>Shoes: <a href="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000000030775246&pubid=21000000000272534" target="_blank">Target</a> Fashion<br>Earrings: Wal-mart </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OsQlkZy3jUg/U2bDY_b2N9I/AAAAAAAAdNA/beMZnjZTsNQ/s1600-h/0133.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="013" border="0" alt="013" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-rx9MmXNl9v8/U2bDZ4D4LhI/AAAAAAAAdNI/auQWSdTtVV4/013_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-eqyepCy9d-w/U2bDasuSqgI/AAAAAAAAdNQ/BDG2xRcc0RM/s1600-h/0153.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="015" border="0" alt="015" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ss5JllkpDIU/U2bDbsCGOpI/AAAAAAAAdNY/wAVCs2vN_n4/015_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-zMw5Jg7rWXA/U2bDdI6DhNI/AAAAAAAAdNg/915lp864nJ4/s1600-h/0223.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="022" border="0" alt="022" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-jTco-eIq1cs/U2bDd1LnheI/AAAAAAAAdNo/IGdERJpgN_M/022_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-FwJSMFyYRdc/U2bDejST6yI/AAAAAAAAdNw/40NlOJlbpQc/s1600-h/0233.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="023" border="0" alt="023" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jItBkzRCyhk/U2bDfhf5E9I/AAAAAAAAdN4/xIOSlwCgmOY/023_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-X9MW1daviPg/U2bDgdjGbgI/AAAAAAAAdOA/b4pPjVacCSw/s1600-h/0243.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="024" border="0" alt="024" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-VJag_bK5bgk/U2bDhLSfPjI/AAAAAAAAdOI/X_zS54KYKM8/024_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-MbN_nRfyJEw/U2bDh3b8JYI/AAAAAAAAdOQ/rqbL9vHmv4Q/s1600-h/01711.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="017" border="0" alt="017" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-p4gWo4kXJSM/U2bDin-fc5I/AAAAAAAAdOY/A94o3lZLYmc/017_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="451" height="484"></a><br><em>So bored with how cute this outfit is… lol… I BE CRAY CRAY!!!!</em></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14714775852058963709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886711743440709171.post-26936967582973581352014-04-17T20:37:00.001-04:002014-04-18T11:53:35.392-04:00DOTD: Connect The Dots<div dir="ltr">
<i>Hola Divas...</i><br />
I know I've failed miserably at being a blogger but as I've indicated on multiple occasions... life happens. So since the last time I was here, I've changed jobs yet again. The small company I worked for was bought out by a larger company and the changes were earth shattering. The people I had created relationships with and had in turn inducted into my "work" family were layed off and after the dust cleared I tried to remain positive. There were people who were negative even though they still had a job... and there were people who still wanted to consider it us against them. But if you know me... you know I just like to go with the flow. I don't like drama if I can completely avoid it. So I embraced the new co-workers which in turn made me some enemies... but again... I didn't let it phase me.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
So after it all, I am now working in a new department and excited about what the future holds. My best friend did not make it through all the changes and that was the only thing that almost made me lose my composure. I am sitting at his going away dinner as I write this post. This allows me the distraction to not cry or lose my composure. I'm hoping that I will be amble to connect the dots after all is said and done. So onto the fashion... this is yet another dress I got from Gwynnie Bee and these amazing Shoedazzle pumps. <b>Have </b><b>you </b><b>ever </b><b>experienced </b><b>your </b><b>company </b><b>being </b><b>bought </b><b>by </b><b>another </b><b>company? </b><b>What </b><b>was </b><b>the </b><b>outcome </b><b>for </b><b>you </b><b>and </b><b>your </b><b>friends? </b><b>Was </b><b>it </b><b>the </b><b>same </b><b>after </b><b>the </b><b>dust </b><b>settled? </b><i>Hasta la próxima ~besitos</i>~</div>

The reasons why are so personal that I don’t even want to discuss here. But just know that I have been an emotional wreck. So much so that I have made a serious setback in my weightloss (stress eating is real!!!). So on Sunday morning I woke up with a determination that I haven’t had in a while and went to the gym and followed that by going to church. And let me tell you… it was just what the doctor ordered. Even though I was miserable most of my weekend, I was so refreshed after church that smiling while taking these pictures was a lot easier to do. I don’t have much else going on other than work and generally dealing with life trying to kick me in the arse every 15 minutes. But I am a lioness… hear me roar!!!</p> <p><strong>Do you stress eat? How high does your stress have to be before you start to stress eat? Are you able to steer back onto course after the stressful sitution has been fixed? Do you find (as I did) that you are stronger afterwards than you ever thought you could be? </strong>Well… back to the fashion. I really love this skirt which is another lovely gem from my friend at Boutique 115. I’ve been supporting her for years (even back when she was known as She’s Got Curves). And this skirt did not disappoint. I will be doing (this week) a write up on her store where you will all get a coupon code for her lovely boutique… so stay tuned!!! <em>Hasta la proxima ~besitos~</em></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-aMIjF14nWRc/Uu_fmCS_AOI/AAAAAAAAY_E/ezOJFlP6VJk/s1600-h/P2020086%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;

This time it wasn’t so easy to find an item that I just had to have. Again I am on this “green” thing that I can’t explain. So I reached out to some co-workers and friends to decide which item I should choose. And we finally all agreed that if I didn’t pick the top pictured below, I was making a terrible mistake. Now that I’ve received it and worn it… I couldn’t agree more. This shirt made me feel super sexy and powerful all day. </p> <p>Now the one thing no one ever mentions about being a blogger is what is involved in order to get THE pictures. You are willing to withstand heat, rain, and freezing temperatures in order to showcase the outfit. So today in our 20 degree weather, I stood outside like a nut while hubby took my pictures. It is amazing I don’t have pneumonia. But… as my photographer… I am super pleased with how these pictures came out, hubby did a fantastic job. Not to mention, I am also planning how I will wear this top on its next go round out of my closet. </p> <p>So now before I go onto the fashion I want to talk about some personal stuff. Our company (who will continue to remain nameless) was recently purchased by another much larger company (who will also remain nameless). In the process of us “combining” some people were let go. Some people who I was friends with and actually enjoyed to be around. So far, my job has been spared… but the empath in me has me feeling guilty. I am tryng to shake that feeling, but it is hard. So much harder then I could have ever thought. Anyway, I guess I am asking anyone who is reading this to answer me this… <strong>Have you ever worked for a company during layoffs? Were you spared? If so, how did you handle it? Did you feel guilty or were you just happy that you still kept your job? Did you try to help your former coworkers find future work? </strong>Anyway… back to fashion… I just needed to get that off my chest so that I wouldn’t explode. I literally broke out in hives over the whole situation. Well… <em>hasta la proxima ~besitos~</em></p> <p><u><strong><em><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hgv5rGqSxD4/UunapJN-iZI/AAAAAAAAY4U/teqcdUXXOQ8/s1600-h/P1290063%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="P1290063" border="0" alt="P1290063" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-TDNpSTRTQk4/UunaqCa01vI/AAAAAAAAY4c/jgI5Bs0wD8E/P1290063_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="580" height="772"></a> </em></strong></u></p> <p align="center"><strong><em><u>What I Wore During The Drama:<br></u></em></strong><a href="http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Separates/22112206" target="_blank"><strong><em>Keira Kimono Sleeve Top:</em></strong></a> Kiyonna<br><font size="1">black skirt: <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=MbugK74XHUg&subid=&offerid=187202.1&type=10&tmpid=5164&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.asos.com%2F&RD_PARM2=Women%2FCurve---Sizes-20-26%2FCat%2Fpgecategory.aspx%3Fcid%3D9577" target="_blank">Asos Curve</a>/ 2 layer tights: Torrid & Spanx/Necklace: Ily Couture/Earrings: Beauty Supply/Boots: Shoedazzle</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-BFzQ7W9Qk7Y/Uunaqp0iCVI/AAAAAAAAY4k/LXnWN59-EOA/s1600-h/P1290070%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1290070" border="0" alt="P1290070" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ctLSAKVNrQE/UunarX90cfI/AAAAAAAAY4s/nNUgzsJUaio/P1290070_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ljCD-ui5wM8/UunasJTtuYI/AAAAAAAAY40/ff_Pn81KTlU/s1600-h/P1290054%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1290054" border="0" alt="P1290054" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-coLlGL_rdas/Uunas-5P5SI/AAAAAAAAY48/e0WKzCn8JLw/P1290054_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-vq3O2c3NIys/UunatnNvNZI/AAAAAAAAY5E/5YT4L2wqrl0/s1600-h/P1290057%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1290057" border="0" alt="P1290057" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CRSANN2w4S8/UunauAVLpxI/AAAAAAAAY5M/WvcPX2t8gCQ/P1290057_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ApZAO5S4inU/UunaultOG0I/AAAAAAAAY5U/EESjeYYG2jU/s1600-h/P1290058%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1290058" border="0" alt="P1290058" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-mtDNwjCfNBg/UunavNaqx-I/AAAAAAAAY5c/qTR0vWN7Shw/P1290058_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-WEUOkwwF3_E/UunawJleZ7I/AAAAAAAAY5k/gtqFG4adSNo/s1600-h/P1290061%25255B5%25255D.jpg"></p><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="P1290061" border="0" alt="P1290061" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-m8R3sEsEww4/UunaxdCE8sI/AAAAAAAAY5s/wlga9RJMInI/P1290061_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="580" height="772"></a> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14714775852058963709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886711743440709171.post-18146058685887196882014-01-16T22:36:00.001-05:002014-01-16T22:36:41.187-05:00DOTD: Kiyonna Approved<p align="left"><em>Hola Divas…</em></p> <p align="left">If you have been a long time reader of this blog, than you are aware that I was part of the <a href="http://www.kiyonna.com/" target="_blank">Kiyonna</a> Blogger Brigade. They recently revamped it and I was given another opportunity to be part of the Blogger Brigade. I have to admit, nothing has brought this much excitement to me in months. The best part is that this opportunity presented itself just as I was returning to the blogging world. That is FATE my friend, in its finest form. So when I was asked to pick an item to review I immediately gravitated to the <a href="http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Wrap_Dresses/13121805" target="_blank">Winona Hi-Lo Wrap Dress</a>. Now to give you some background, I have been completely in love with anything green lately. All shades of green are just pulling me in with a crazy magnetism that I can’t explain. So when I saw that the wrap dress came in “Green with Envy”… it was KISMET that we be together… and when the dress arrived… I was not disappointed. See my review below:</p> <p align="left"><strong><u>PRO</u></strong><br>Fabric: Super soft, I swear I spent the day walking around getting people to touch how soft this dress is…<br>Color: Best shade of GREEN EVER<br>Fit: Excellent fit. Fit like a dream!!!</p> <p align="left"><strong><u>CON<br></u></strong>Length: Wish this dress was a smidgen longer all around (but it could be it appears short because of all the boobs it had to go over) lol<br>Misc: I guess that I should mention that its low cut. I wore it with a cami because it was a lot of cleavage (for work). But I love this dress and that would never deter me from buying it…</p> <p align="left">Needless to say this dress would make it into my wardrobe regardless.

<i>Hola </i><i>Divas...</i><br />
Today was a hard day... for so many reasons. I have this one guy at work that is truly trying to take me out my skin one action at a time. He says things and throws me under the bus in front of clients. Today I dropped the f-bomb while discussing his attitude without even realizing it. If you are the praying kind... pray for me.Because I only have so much forgiveness in my spirit to deal with his type of personality. Its funny because the people who work around him are the complete opposite of him.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Second reason today was hard... I had on the most uncomfortable shapewear in all my life. It was like walking around in a vice grip all day. What is comical to me... is every time I wear this particular shape brief, I swear I will throw then away... and then I don't... but I must remember this time... because the pain I experienced today was almost as bad as child birth. Maybe it was worse... I remember reading that someone died from an atomic wedgie... now I understand how. Anyway... I wanted to share the skirt I wore today from <a href="http://boutique115.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Boutique 115</a>. Amazing skirt... everyone thought this was a full dress. Worth every penny!!!!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
But before I leave you... <b>Have </b><b>you </b><b>ever </b><b>had </b><b>someone </b><b>at </b><b>work</b> <b>change </b><b>your </b><b>personality? </b><b>Make </b><b>you </b><b>behave</b><b> </b><b>out</b><b> of character? </b><b>How </b><b>did </b><b>you </b><b>handle </b><b>this </b><b>situation? </b><i>Hasta la proxima ~besitos</i>~</div>

Mainly because the first time I wore it, I couldn’t find the blazer I wanted to wear it with. But now I see so many possibilities of how I can wear it. So I will probably wear it again. I’m glad I packed this dress for this trip… it was easy and fun to wear even though I am tired and stressed out. But life is about the fashion you wear during the “bleh” times. Okay that’s not 100% true, but sometimes I tell myself to get through the day.</p> <p>So my brain is on fire. I worked on like a billion spreadsheets and looked at like a million pictures, and I now have a massive migraine. However, wearing my pink blazer made it all worth while. I also had the BEST pink lips today… made me feel a spreadsheet/picture rockstar. Lately there is so many things going on, that I have to celebrate the mini triumphs. Such as perfect lip liner and lashes. Or yesterday the gold smokey eye I did. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. Now that I don’t have to do hair in order to get ready in the morning, everything thing else is triumphant. As I continue to sit here and watch lame television and write my blog, I realize that I am probably not making much sense. I feel like I’m talking giberish so this is where I will say <em>buenas noches…</em></p> <p>But before I leave I have a question… <strong>What color(s) make you feel like you can do anything?

So I am writing this post from the comfort of my hotel room in Richmond Virginia. I am dealing with a lot at work and I am trying my best to not let all the negativity get to me. I am finding that some people will find the negative in anything. Which is why I’m making a late new year resolution about finding the positive in everything. I know it will be hard but negativity is like a cancer. It wears you down and kills your spirit. It is toxic and I don’t want it near my life any more. I know that may not be much of a resolution, but it is becoming apparent that if you see the positive in everything… sometimes… eventually everything is positive.<br />
So what has everyone losing it at work. Well, the company I work for has been bought by a larger company. And I want to see the bright side of it, but everyone is killing my vibe with their negativity. I just want to focus on my job and do it to the best of my ability. I won’t spend my time speculating on the “what ifs”. I just want to make sure my checks keep coming, and my company keeps moving forward. That is my ONLY concern… the rest will work itself out. Anyway… onto the fashion…<br />
The last time I wore this skirt, I wore it with with a pink top which I loved… but I really wanted to wear it with a yellow top. And since I don’t own a yellow top… I decided a yellow (mustard) scarf was the next best thing. I know this isn’t fancy, but I like how it turned out. My lastest package from <a href="http://goo.gl/XXqxaS" target="_blank">Gwynnie Bee</a> didn’t come in time for my trip, so I had to make what I already had work overtime. I love going on travel, however, I hate packing. I always forget something. This time it was deodorant and my hair oil for my edges. Bleh. Doesn’t matter… I bought some deodorant and I am happy. I really am… I woke up this morning in a glorious mood. And I have to admit… its the beginning of what great things… I am certain of it… But before I leave you… <strong>How often do you travel? Do you have a fail safe way to travel so you don’t forget anything? Does your fashionista still shine or do you pack the bare mininums? </strong><em>Welll… I’m glad I got the first post of the year out of the way… Hasta la proxima ~besitos~</em><br />
<em>P.S. I actually wore the wedges to work today and will wear the oxfords tomorrow with an alternate outfit </em><br />

I wanted to go back to work with a bang… a flash of lighting… blue lightning. So I decided to wear this great dress I got from <a href="http://goo.gl/XXqxaS" target="_blank">Gwynnie Bee</a>. I’m wearing this Three Dots Hi Lo Wrap Dress. I was going to wear Forever 21+ cobalt cami, that is until I got this Black/Cobalt Lace Tank Top also from Gwynnie Bee and realized it was too short to wear with my jeans and blazer as I had originally hoped. I really love how this turned out however, these pictures don’t do it justice. I wish I had taken the time to take the photos in the daylight earlier so you can really see how awesome this dress is. </p> <p>When you have a little more junk in the trunk… you appreciate a dress that hangs longer in the back so that the wrap of the dress isn’t compromised. I went with simple makeup today. I was running late and didn’t feel like doing a whole over the top face. I hope to get up earlier tomorrow to bring my A++ makeup game… I will also make a better attempt at taking my photos during day hours. I’m so proud of myself at actually posting a post that is A) not in a bathroom and B) not a Polyvore outfit idea. Hopefully there will be more posts (with better quality photos) in the future. Don’t forget to follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/deepqueendiva" target="_blank">Instagram</a> to see what I’m doing on a moment by moment play by play… And if I don’t post tomorrow (even though I really hope I will) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! <em>Hasta la proxima ~besitos~</em></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-1-dOEV3Olj4/UsITd3l-L0I/AAAAAAAAX8A/AXkJQXgWa2k/s1600-h/PC300022%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="PC300022" border="0" alt="PC300022" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jUyUhLhzWU8/UsITf6Esj1I/AAAAAAAAX8I/grBgVZ3WfcE/PC300022_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="527"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-nlwqmt4_wdI/UsIThrJ8JGI/AAAAAAAAX8Q/6uXqu9EvgTA/s1600-h/PC300021%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="PC300021" border="0" alt="PC300021" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-hIXkc9aHdtU/UsITjlk4UlI/AAAAAAAAX8Y/zSPUwQ-S-Vo/PC300021_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="527"></a> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ofN4ngEPxhw/UsIUBtCm6nI/AAAAAAAAX8g/x_p7Buei5ZM/s1600-h/PC300019%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="PC300019" border="0" alt="PC300019" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-hyPZfLSfh94/UsIUD7K9I8I/AAAAAAAAX8o/zvlHLpqcrQM/PC300019_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="537"></a> </p> <p align="center"><strong><em><u>What I Was Wearing Back To Work After Vacation:<br></u></em></strong>Black Hi Lo Wrap Dress: Three Dots via <a href="http://goo.gl/XXqxaS" target="_blank">Gwynnie Bee</a><br>Black/Cobalt Lace Tank Top: Karen Kane via Gwynnie Bee<br>Tights: Assets by Spanx via Target<br>Blue Wedge Booties: LolaShotique (last year) <br>Earrings: Beauty Supply</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14714775852058963709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886711743440709171.post-47613559206925736292013-12-28T08:01:00.000-05:002013-12-30T17:55:25.134-05:00Shoeday Saturday: Like a Hole in the Head<p><em>Hola Divas…<br></em>Today I posted a video of my shoe closet(s) to <a href="http://instagram.com/deepqueendiva" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, and I can honestly say that it is finally apparent to me… that I have a problem. I apparently am incapable of NOT buying shoes. I have so many that it looks like I own a shoe store. I do know that there will be a purge/funeral of a few pairs in the near future… but ultimately… I have too many shoes. I can say that I need another pair of shoes like I need a hole in the head.</p> <p>With that said, it will not stop me from perusing the internet for additional shoes that catch my fancy… Below find a few that are touching my soul currently…</p> <p><img src="http://images.bakersshoes.com/images/products/1_302068_AV_2781~BLACKSNAKE.JPG"> </p> <p><a href="http://www.bakersshoes.com/p-302068-SPYGLASS.aspx" target="_blank">Bakers Shoes SPYGLASS</a> $119.95</p> <p>Recently I had to say goodbye to my only pair of black snakeskin pumps. And that was the hardest thing I had to do. But then I came across these lovelies. I wanted them so badly… unfortunately… they no longer come in my size. No reason someone else can’t buy them and make wonderful outfits together.</p> <p><img src="http://a1.zassets.com/images/z/1/8/3/5/8/6/1835862-p-MULTIVIEW.jpg"> </p> <p><a href="http://www.6pm.com/anne-klein-serafina-navy-patent" target="_blank">Anne Klein SARAFINA</a> $44.99</p> <p>Recently a coworker and I were having a discussion about the end of the navy shoe. How that no matter where or how long you look, you can’t find them. Its as though all navy blue pumps disappeared along with VHS videotapes. I know what you’re thinking, there are tons of blue shoes everywhere… and you would be correct. I can throw a dart and hit a cobalt blue pump easy… but dark navy pumps have died out somehow. Remember when you’re mom would say “Always have a brown, black, and navy pump to go with most any outfit”. I know that by today’s fashion standards, that no longer applies. But when I want to wear a navy shoe… then gosh dangit I want NAVY. This is the only one I could find that didn’t make me feel like orthopedic shoes were right around the corner…</p> <p></p> <p><img src="http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server1400/br20ziph/products/7970/images/28037/missmimosamulti1__49637.1388194191.380.523.jpg"> </p> <p><a href="http://www.lolashoetique.com/miss-mimosa-black-multi/" target="_blank">LolaShoetique MISS MIMOSA</a> $31.99</p> <p>When I see that a shoes color is multi… I get so excited. There is something awesome about being able to wear a shoe with multiple different outfits and making it look effortless. Like the shoe above. I could wear with yellow, green, pink, orange, and blue. If I wanted the shoes to shine and own the spotlight, I could wear all black and let the shoes do all the talking. Which is why it saddens me that this shoe is not in my size… but if it were… oh the possibilities….</p> <p>I know this was shorter than my normal shoe posts… but I have to take baby steps to get back on that blogging wagon. If there are any shoes you would like me to post next week, let me know. Until next time <em>(Hasta la proxima) ~besitos~</em></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14714775852058963709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886711743440709171.post-10735997948703261252013-12-25T20:07:00.001-05:002013-12-25T20:11:09.605-05:00DOTD: Merry Holidays<p dir="ltr"><i>Hola </i><i>Divas... </i><br>
Today is Christmas so I would first like to wish you a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays from my family to yours. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The weeks leading up to this day have been some kind of stressful. The plans I had made were changed dramatically when my dollars wouldn't add up. I really thought my kids were going to have to learn the hard lesson of not getting anything after this hard year. I had sat them down and explained that Santa is not real and we work hard for everything we get. I didn't get the much needed raise I was promised at work & hubby wasn't working... and the "rob Peter to pay Paul" payment system I had been using lately, came crashing down on me all at once. But God is good and I had some friends help out with gifts for my kids and my parents got the one thing they asked for that I couldn't afford. Needless to say... Today they are exceedingly happy... and their happiness makes me ecstatic. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Below you will see the outfit I wore just to hang with hubby's family. Nothing fancy but it was in holiday colors and super comfortable. <b>What </b><b>did </b><b>your Holiday </b><b>consist </b><b>of? </b><b>Did </b><b>you </b><b>dress </b><b>up or</b><b> keep </b><b>it </b><b>casual? Was your family having hard times as well this Christmas season? </b>I hope to hear from you in the comments. I know I haven't been the best at blogging... but my motivation is back and you will see more of me. Not just outfits but everything that brings me joy. <i>Hasta la proxima ~besitos</i>~</p>

<i>Hola Divas...</i><br />
As the Christmas holiday quickly approaches I am trying to keep myself busy and entertained. Well, thankfully I have a party to attend this weekend since we are not having a holiday party at my office. It will give me an opportunity to wear this awesome gold/black skirt I got from Mynt 1792 via <a href="http://goo.gl/XXqxaS" target="_blank">Gwynnie Bee</a>. I can't wait to wear this outfit. Of course, I may have to tweak some pieces but I hope all of it comes together as it is in my head. I also have a killer dress I want to wear on date night with my hubby but I must first find somewhere to wear it. So many outfits... not enough places to wear them... lol<br />
<br />
<b>What are you doing this holiday season? Are you wearing any outfits that you are excited about? Do you have multiple events you are attending?</b> Give me all the details... I must live vicariously through you!!! <i>Hasta la proxima ~besitos~</i><br />

<i>Hola Divas...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As the holiday season approaches, I start to see all the pretty dresses to wear to holiday parties and then I start to plan the outfit that will ultimately adorn my body when I wear said beautiful dress. I think about how glamorous I could be on this imaginary date night with my hubby. I say imaginary because my company doesn't do a fancy night out like previous companies of my past. But a girl can dream and hubby says he will "find" somewhere for me to dress up if the dress presented itself. Below, you will find this beautiful dress I found on <a href="http://modcloth.com/">Modcloth.com</a> that I love. I am completely in love with mustard yello this fall and I want to incorporate it into every outfit. I am not much for a clutch (because I carry my life in my purse) so I went for something a little more heavy duty. <b>What do you think of my outfit chose?</b> <b>Would you wear it? </b>I would probably wear it with my plain wool black jacket. That way when I remove my jacket... you get nothing but wow factor from the dress and accessories. Check out their website because there is a variety of great items including plus size (YAY!!!!) <i>Hasta la proxima ~besitos~</i></div>

Are you shocked? 2 posts in less than a week. I am trying my best to just get back into this as my life itself is such a cluttered mess. As I indicated in the previous post, all this traveling is for the birds. Don't get me wrong, I love the work I do. Its just that its hard and difficult when you have so many balls in the air... and financially things are difficult with all the travel as well. But I figure that if I put in the time, I will be rewarded and eventually everything will come together. Positive thinking... that's all I have to count on lately... lol<br />
<br />
So this outfit I wore yesterday. I meant to blog last night but as I was traveling... I was too tired once I reached the hotel. So here is the outfit I wore and the pics I took in the Doctor's office before I left. HAHAHA!!! I know... I will take a picture anywhere...<br />
<br />
So I don't know if you noticed on the previous post, but I've been partaking in <a href="http://goo.gl/XXqxaS" target="_blank">Gwynnie Bee</a>. Its like Netflix for clothes and I can't get enough. I as I am on a eating better kick. And just trying to lose some of this weight. Gwynnie Bee has been awesome. It's a way to wear clothes in different sizes and to not completely kill my bank account. And if I REALLY like something, I can always purchase it. Hubby loves it because of course I'm shopping less... and I love it because I can try styles I normally wouldn't it without the obligation of keeping it. <b>Have you tried Gwynnie Bee? How do you like about the idea of clothes on loan? Would you love a way to be trendy without buying something you will only wear once? </b>Well as always... Thanks for reading<i>... Hasta la proxima ~besitos~</i><br />

<i>Hola Divas...</i><br />
I know I said I would blog more often and I mean to keep my promise. Now I am also going to stop with the bathroom pics. I hate them but it's all I had at the time. But my tripod is coming... and with that means picture independence. I hate asking my friends to take my pictures... especially at work. But that is where I spend ALL my time. And now that I travel a lot as well... there isn't always a way (or a place) to take pics.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So while I am on the subject of travel. Let me bring you into my life for a moment. I am a mom, wife, and a career woman. It is hard to maintain all those parts of my life and to do so fashionably. I am in Richmond VA for most of my travel because I manage 2 areas (MD/PA & VA/WV). I have the most awesome crew that any manager could want but its still very hard. So my son asked me if I would have a mother/son date with him, because he misses me. When I'm home, the hubs is super clingy because I was gone the week prior. The daughters want me to do hair and nails and plan outfits when I'm home. It seems that my travel is mainly to rest after the week home. Is that wrong?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I feel like I'm not balancing this well. And I don't have any other friends who travel this much. Or if they do, I don't see it on Facebook. So I lean to my readers. <b>Do any of your have a hard time balancing family life and work? If so, have you found anything that makes it easier? </b>I'll take any advice you are willing to offer because honestly... I'm exhausted. Well... back to the fashion...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So I will do a dump of all the outfits I've been wearing lately and tomorrow hopefully I will be taking my pics like a normal blogger. But before I go... since I've been out the loop so long...<b> </b><b>Is </b><b>there </b><b>anything </b><b>in </b><b>particular </b><b>you </b><b>would </b><b>like </b><b>to </b><b>see </b><b>me </b><b>blog? </b><b>Are </b><b>there </b><b>any </b><b>trends </b><b>your </b><b>want </b><b>to </b><b>see </b><b>me </b><b>wear? </b><b>Any topics </b><b>you </b><b>would </b><b>like </b><b>me </b><b>to </b><b>discuss?</b> Comment below... <i>Hasta la proxima ~besitos</i><i>~</i></div>

I said that I would keep blogging and I am doing everything to keep my promise. Every night I put out an outfit and I tell myself that if this outfit is great I am going to take pictures and post this outfit. But then work happens... and if you work... you know how that goes. You can have all the best intentions in the world and then the day gets away from you and before you know it... you're home and the bra and shoes are off and there is not a hellz chance you're going to put them back on to take pictures.<br />
<br />
So that is what is happening to my blog... LIFE!!! I just have to be stronger than the forces around me and continue the fight to blog. So I took pictures (yes its more horrible pictures from the bathroom) but I am going to breakdown what I'm wearing to hopefully make the experience more blog worthy. I guess we'll see how it goes over... <b>Does life get in the way of things you enjoy? What do you do when that happens? </b><i>Hasta la proxima ~besitos~</i><br />
<br />
<b>P.S. </b>I can't get enough of ASOS lately... on a super <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=MbugK74XHUg&subid=&offerid=187202.1&type=10&tmpid=5164&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fus.asos.com%2F&RD_PARM2=Women-Curve-Plus-Size%2F1122im%2F%3Fcid%3D9577%2526via%3Dtop" target="_blank">ASOS Curve</a> crush session this post.

I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I will wear tomorrow to work because I want to look nice but I also want to get this blogging thing back in order. But my mind seems to want to rage against me being great. Everything I pull together is super boring. Of course, I'm probably being over critical but it is what it is. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Tonight, while on Twitter I became excited about blogging again. Also, I found out that my shoe game is missed. So I shall go back to my old self. Because if I'm being honest, I miss it too. Not to mention I haven't bought any new shoes which is sooooo not like me. </p>
<p dir="ltr">There is a lot going on at work, and that has been on my mind a lot lately, but today's sermon has put all that into perspective. I will not let what I can't control... control my actions. <b>Do </b><b>you </b><b>allow </b><b>your </b><b>worries </b><b>to</b> <b>stop </b><b>you </b><b>from</b> <b>doing </b><b>something </b><b>you </b><b>enjoy? </b><i>Hasta la proxima ~besitos</i><i>~ </i></p>

Its been forever and I'm certain I've lost all my core fans. But I realized today... I'm not happy. And the reason I'm not happy is because I am no longer doing what used to bring me immense joy which is my blog. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This realization is what made me come to terms with the fact that I've got to get some things in order... and stat. First, I need to get my camera lens fixed. Second, I need to get my body back in shape to once again fit my favorite clothes. And last but not least, I need to make time to sit and blog about what is going on with me. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I loved coming home in a cute outfit to take pictures and then to sit and upload the pics with excitement and nervousness. Why nervous? Because as a blogger you always question how your outfit which you perceive to be amazing will be judged by the masses (yea... I say that like I have a huge fan base... lol). You hope and pray that the outfit you thought was dang near designer quality will be admired and used for inspiration for years to come (again it appears I think my blog is bigger than it is... trust me... I know better). But even with all the nervousness, fear, and criticism... blogging fed my desire to try harder... be more creative... and to take more risks with my fashion. Now I can't imagine going back to my humdrum fashion choices of 2009. </p>
<p dir="ltr">So even though the pics may suck... I will blog with my phone until my finances will allow me to fix my Canon camera lens... Below you will find a few outfits I was able to capture recently... again... I apologize in advance for the photo quality. <i>ha</i><i>sta la proxima ~besitos~</i></p>

I know I suck at this... I mean I keep saying I'm coming back and then I don't... but this time I am making more of an effort to keep you linked into my life. How? You may be asking... well... I created a Tumblr account. Which will allow me to upload pictures and things of my makeup, fashion, and shoes on a daily basis until I can get my lens fixed or purchase another one. Now that the weather is nicer I may just try to work around the horrible lens .. but who knows. Anyway... my tumblr name is similar to my blog name so that you will always be able to find me. <a href="http://divaindeepthought.tumblr.com/">divaindeepthought.tumblr.com</a> is how you can stay up-to-date on my crazy life...<br />
<br />
I know this post is short an sweet... but it was just to remind you that I'm still here... Love and miss all you!!!! <i>hasta la proxima </i>~besitos~Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14714775852058963709noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886711743440709171.post-45950987479310932782013-01-21T16:58:00.000-05:002013-01-29T22:56:35.958-05:00Showing My Makeup Addiction Side…<p>So I realized lately that there are 2 things that wake me up in the morning. Shoes and makeup... and since I am so financially strapped since moving into the house and can't afford any more shoes... Makeup is how I get joy these days. Different looks, and colors with different lippies (occasionally).</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-cJZ0N-6qNmE/UQiXdqAsfuI/AAAAAAAAMn0/bo5ps3lYGyY/s1600-h/318000_10151347627382863_595160724_n%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="318000_10151347627382863_595160724_n" border="0" alt="318000_10151347627382863_595160724_n" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-cgCotvbxGNw/UQiXeIo7PII/AAAAAAAAMn8/IL3dGi-arlw/318000_10151347627382863_595160724_n_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="484" height="484"></a><br><br>Fashion still brings me joy but because nothing fits anymore and again I mention that I don't have any money... I can't buy anything that fits properly so I make do with what I have and its not anything I’m usually super excited to blog about... but there are those days where I am exceedingly proud of my makeup. So much so that I’ve tried to be consistent with my constant <a href="http://instagram.com/deepqueendiva" target="_blank">Instagram</a>-ing it... but maybe I can begin posting it here so that I can keep my blogging promise.</p> <p>I don’t know if most of you are following me on <a href="http://instagram.com/deepqueendiva" target="_blank">instagram</a> as well… but I thought I would show you my favorite beauty supplies that have me excited to do my makeup lately…</p> <blockquote> <p>Now as for eyeshadow… I love MAC but I am not so concerned with always using top of the line eyeshadow. I am a firm believer that if you have on a great eyeshadow base, you can wear the cheapest eyeshadow in the world and no one would know who made the eyeshadow, because it would last all day… My eyeshadow base of choice is MAC Groundwork Paint pot</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-qqH2N6U-9Bw/UQiXewSZ8fI/AAAAAAAAMoE/Z1s6jVSEUjU/s1600-h/groundwork%252520paint%252520pot1%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="groundwork paint pot1" border="0" alt="groundwork paint pot1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-rStBM6WcD7w/UQiXfd-PEII/AAAAAAAAMoM/ZYsqedt0-9Y/groundwork%252520paint%252520pot1_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="279" height="187"></a></p> <p>Like I said I love all types of eyeshadows but I do tend to to lean toward bright colors. I like <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/index.tmpl" target="_blank">MAC</a>, <a href="http://www.shop.com/nbts/Market+America-v243380-c+.xhtml" target="_blank">Motives</a>, <a href="http://www.sugarpillshop.com/collections/pressed-eyeshadows" target="_blank">Sugarpill</a>, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=MbugK74XHUg&offerid=245437.10000214&type=3&subid=0" target="_blank">BH Cosmetics</a> and <a href="http://bitchslap-cosmetics.com/products/BITCH-PALETTE-%252d--72-COLOR-.html" target="_blank">Bitch Slap!</a> but will use just about any brand as long as it doesn’t have too much shimmer. All that glitter seems to be too much for a woman my age. Ordered a new brand but I haven’t tried them yet… so I may update this post later.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-6nDBlYhPAik/UQiXf8QIe_I/AAAAAAAAMoU/JOOpnMsIfLg/s1600-h/Benefit_They_re_Real__Beyond_Mascara_8_5g1314188642%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Benefit_They_re_Real__Beyond_Mascara_8_5g1314188642" border="0" alt="Benefit_They_re_Real__Beyond_Mascara_8_5g1314188642" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Lr8oBwa5Ngo/UQiXgdt77rI/AAAAAAAAMoY/X8TKm9qCYrg/Benefit_They_re_Real__Beyond_Mascara_8_5g1314188642_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="242" height="327"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-iRr96-MX-OE/UQiXhHS_qVI/AAAAAAAAMok/4cmAh7gEn7g/s1600-h/Benefit-Bad-Gal-Mascara%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Benefit-Bad-Gal-Mascara" border="0" alt="Benefit-Bad-Gal-Mascara" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-nBaFJq1Evko/UQiXhk7c_TI/AAAAAAAAMos/ioS6OI69R84/Benefit-Bad-Gal-Mascara_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="213" height="327"></a></p> <p>These are my 2 favorite mascaras. I also like Maybelline Falsies and Great Lash Big. I do use other brands and play around to see which ones will give me the best definition.

I have tried other companies (not MACs Fluidline as of yet) but it is seriously my favorite. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8jth2P5Zcqs/UQiXkB_DfeI/AAAAAAAAMpU/L-nB_a5dHYY/s1600-h/MAC%252520studio%252520fix%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="MAC studio fix" border="0" alt="MAC studio fix" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CFbr2rQquas/UQiXkwV9sFI/AAAAAAAAMpc/S_4csd_z_Vc/MAC%252520studio%252520fix_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="304" height="308"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-v3tSZeetnpw/UQiXlfL6_AI/AAAAAAAAMpk/NFm8Ha-A-zI/s1600-h/mac-well-defined-studio-sculpt-foundation%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="mac-well-defined-studio-sculpt-foundation" border="0" alt="mac-well-defined-studio-sculpt-foundation" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-FhXqQCO0gRQ/UQiXlqLt_bI/AAAAAAAAMps/0tI8zas9Hl4/mac-well-defined-studio-sculpt-foundation_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="202" height="308"></a></p> <p>My foundations are usually the same all the time. I have the MAC Studio Sculpt and I have Makeup Forever HD foundation and that is usually all I use. I use studio fix as a powder set or Bare Escentuals. On the days that I don’t want to wear foundation I use BB Cream from Maybelline in Dark. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-S_MrOZapWn8/UQiXmCsN5UI/AAAAAAAAMp0/n6CxIuZJKyw/s1600-h/Buxom%252520lips%252520sarina%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Buxom lips sarina" border="0" alt="Buxom lips sarina" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pw6STelcB40/UQiXmm4Vc9I/AAAAAAAAMp8/yFTOCknz0dY/Buxom%252520lips%252520sarina_thumb%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-vvmYke8nERg/UQiXnBr2uoI/AAAAAAAAMqE/qNnuggSRkO4/s1600-h/lancome-juicy-tubes-ultra-shiny-lip-gloss-15ml-%25255B1%25255D%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="lancome-juicy-tubes-ultra-shiny-lip-gloss-15ml-[1]" border="0" alt="lancome-juicy-tubes-ultra-shiny-lip-gloss-15ml-[1]" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_-OzLC_2TMg/UQiXnm5mN9I/AAAAAAAAMqM/8JAw_wDoh0A/lancome-juicy-tubes-ultra-shiny-lip-gloss-15ml-%25255B1%25255D_thumb%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="270" height="244"></a></p> <p>Now a days I usually tend to go with a nude lip because with my super bright eyeshadow looks… It looks best with a nude lip. But on the days when I don’t feel like doing a bold look for my eyes. I wear a bold lip. I am totally in love with Brazen Berry and Hot Plum from the New Maybelline Vivid Lip Collection. </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Z25OY_DBftM/UQiXoZy3ImI/AAAAAAAAMqU/2Y7r0s-2dM8/s1600-h/Vivid-Up-Close-Collage%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Vivid-Up-Close-Collage" border="0" alt="Vivid-Up-Close-Collage" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-pNU8WVDTOSA/UQiXpebzSdI/AAAAAAAAMqc/LUOMsv2bM2Y/Vivid-Up-Close-Collage_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="456" height="327"></a></p> <p>Other must haves in my makeup closet (yes… it does take up almost the entire linen closet… but I digress)… here are the final products that wet my whistle when it comes to makeup. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-zaAKoLR5lrQ/UQiXp986FbI/AAAAAAAAMqk/PQilzeX1drc/s1600-h/banana%252520powder%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="banana powder" border="0" alt="banana powder" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-gszmzWmb_qI/UQiXqs3BUWI/AAAAAAAAMqs/ejZPK3UZdYs/banana%252520powder_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="234" height="234"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ft3XSTukVD4/UQiXq2Zwn3I/AAAAAAAAMq0/s5kojFdzoDw/s1600-h/nutmeg%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="nutmeg" border="0" alt="nutmeg" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-j1O5wU10i8c/UQiXr33WG_I/AAAAAAAAMq8/Pt7V-0Xojds/nutmeg_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="301" height="226"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-AZDLCxA6Hd0/UQiXsWKBBtI/AAAAAAAAMrE/R0l-E4fToBo/s1600-h/cts-pl026%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="cts-pl026" border="0" alt="cts-pl026" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Vgm4T_iAOpI/UQiXs4quPCI/AAAAAAAAMrM/3zDEzSTVh_g/cts-pl026_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="296" height="296"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-3m2M-bl0LDA/UQiXtYq1VNI/AAAAAAAAMrU/1Sg8VEH_FAo/s1600-h/ybf%252520eyebrow%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="ybf eyebrow" border="0" alt="ybf eyebrow" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3yHd5ImXc3Y/UQiXt6DMEaI/AAAAAAAAMrc/Gk10AHGamys/ybf%252520eyebrow_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="239" height="239"></a></p> <p>I love my banana and nutmeg powder for highlighting… makes my word go round as I get little rest and it hides my puffy eyes (most of the time). I also love my Coastal Scents concealer palette that I use to highlight my brow bone. And my ybf eyebrow pencil helps to complete my look. <strong>What do you do for your makeup routine?

So I haven't been blogging... I know... but I couldn't seem to get enough energy to photo myself before or after work. I have the best intentions... but yet... nothing. But if you follow me on Instagram... You know I do take photos of my shoes and occasionally my outfits.... thought I would share some of my favorites here...<br>
I promise to do better in 2013 <b>Happy New Year </b><i>~besitos~</i><br>
