What I like about myself...

I was just checking out a blog that I have been following for the last couple months..."The Coupon Goddess", Melanie doesn't just talk about couponing but about her family and cooking and tons of other stuff.  Yesterday she wrote a post about what she likes about herself and it inspired me to do the same, so here we go...

I like that I can make people laugh even when they are feeling down and not themselves...a little laugh can make someone feel 10 times better instantly (at least that's what I think)...

I like that I'm NOT fake, if I have something to say to someone, trust me, I won't go behind their backs and say it, I will tell them to their face and then face the consequences...

I like to be social, love interacting with people.  If you have a bad day what better way to make it better than call up some friends and just talk...

I like that I'm trustful, my friends and family know that I can keep a secret even if that secret is something that I don't agree with, it will still be safe with me.

I'm proud to be Portuguese, yes we have a big mouth sometimes and yes we love to eat, but it's what makes us different.

I like that I love myself just the way I am...there are times that I don't feel confident but I always make myself feel better even by putting some makeup on :)

That's it for now...love yourself for what you are and don't listen to others...

XOXO,

Beauty Products Reviews!!!

YEAH...who doesn't love talking about beauty products, but there times that we are not sure what we can use or if we will like it or not, so today I'm gonna talk about some of my current favorites beauty products that I have been using for a while now...

Here they are:


First are my new Sigma Makeup Brushes, I'm probably gonna say what many others have been saying about those babies are sooo soft and they really do wonders...LOVE IT
 When I first got this tinted moisturizer I wasn't that crazy about it, but a couples weeks ago I use it again and I'm hooked.  It gives my face just enough coverage and it doesn't feel heavy on you...
 Now this Clinique moisturizer is so good that I'm speechless, your skin feels amazing, so hydrated and the consistency is perfect...
 I find it hard to find good cleansers, it either dries your face or make you break out...this one is pretty good (I'm still willing to try others if I come across) for now this one does just the trick
 I couldn't believe when the Urban Decay Naked pallette was back in store at Sephora.com, I didn't even have to think twice, I ordered right away as I had heard tons of good stuff about it.  Do I regret it? NO, I love it, you can create so many looks with it, you can go from a day look to a night one in a heart beat with this beauty...I'm loving it :)

 EOS lip balm, it makes your lips so soft and it smells great and it's does wonders if your lips are always dry like mines...
 Falsies mascara...OMG it makes your lashes so big and full.  You gotta have it...
 Neutrogena naturals lip balm...I use it every night before I go to bed...I feel that it really makes my lips stay hydrated through out the night.

That's all I have for now,  hope you like it and try some of them out if you haven't yet...

XOXO,

Why is Life Complicated?

A lot of times I come up with these questions that I never get answers for, here are some of them:

Why can't we all get along?

Why are people jealous of others?

Can family get any more complicated?

Is loving each other that hard?

And why don't you say what you have to say to my face instead on my back?

Seriously...when you think you have your life controlled something OR someone will come and ruin it...

Am I the only one with these problems?  I wonder a lot...

XOXO,
