Monthly Hope: April

I hope my endeavors this month will be more successful than the last

I hope i can DO more in general this month

I hope i will spend less on shopping and save more money

I hope i will live through my authentic self, which means less randomness and guilt-ridden actions and more thought out deeds

Overcoming Fears

Fear of embracing life to the fullest, feat of change and permanence (contradictory)..there are many

Aquarius Mar 31 2013
A fear that you have carried from childhood still manages to raise its ugly head and torment you to this day. This might be some common fear - such as a fear of spiders - that only occurs when you cross paths with the object of your fear. It might be something more significant - such as a fear of water or strangers... something that limits you socially and stops you from fully experiencing life. Whatever your fear is, Aquarius, this is an excellent time to free yourself of it. The universe is here to encourage and support you if you face what's scaring you.

The Present

I'm a slave to my desires.
A part of me loves this pleasure seeking lifestyle but another part of me knows that this isn't what life is about...even if i do it in moderation.
And still, i feel the need to soak it all up while it lasts.
I'm not always going to live in this city and i will not always have these opportunities as my maturity will bring on different goals. I guess I'm enjoying my youth, though not without guilt, as i know there are other things i need to attend to that require more of my energy.

I know this kind of randomness can't go on forever and i plan to change my ways, to be more organized and responsible in order to reach all my goals. And honestly, i would not want to live like this forever, there are more fulfilling things to relish and embrace, and i look forward to these God-given blessings

One day though, i hope i will look back and say it was all worth it. i pray it is all worth it

Colors in the bathtub. This morning when i showered with my green lush scrub there were green splatters everywhere. It was gorgeous and it matched my emerald nail polish..that made me smile

Spring Tea Love

I'm already addicted to the Tazo passion tea lemonade from Starbucks and i need to learn how to make it at home

Looks like lots of tea will be on my grocery list

March Loves

I've been wearing the WNW color icon trios, silent treatment (crease) and walking on eggshells (browbone, eyelid and crease) for a week and i'm still obsessed. I use them with the mirabella eye primer from one of my ipsy bags

Speaking of ipsy, I've been using a lot of my glam bag items, particularly, mica gel liner, glam rx palette, yaby shadows, soho eyeliner brush, and coastal scents shadows..oh and the February makeup bag

MoMA..i went there twice this month, once with friends and once by myself...i must say i prefer it as a solo activity. Nonetheless, it was worth the while both times. Love love .especially the paintings and light fixtures. The first time i went there was a bright yellow painted square mounted on the ground and it instantly made be feel sunny inside

Easter cupcakes..just because they're cotton candy flavored

Neutral to Smokey Looks to Try

The crease color from Wet n Wild's "silent treatment" and the browbone and crease colors from "walking on eggshells"..or even the crease and eyelid colors from "I'm getting sunburned" should be enough...with urban decay 24/7 liner in "zero"

I only own the product photos
