GUESS WHO'S BACK!?!

back again, guess who's back? Tell a friend! ( old Eminem song! haha)
I’m back!! :D
Hello everyone! I am sorry I’ve been away for so long. There isn’t any other excuse except:
L I F E - H A P P E N S!
Yes! That’s the simple truth. So much has been coming up recently. I have been going through all sorts of realizations. Anyway tonight is about my comeback to the blogging world:] I came back because, quite frankly I miss writing. A LOT! Like I keep writing on word documents and realizing that no one reads them kind of saddens me because I want people who feel the same way as me can see they are not alone. So as you can see I have all the newfound insights which I would love to share with you all. Of course they are all not going to be written tonight for we all have pensive nights that keep us lingering and well this is what blogs are for, right? Because of this I am rearranging the topics of my blog. It will no longer be based on makeup and fashion solely, it will encrust much more than that; personal thoughts, fashion tips, music inspiration, weigh loss struggle stories, etc. Anything that catches my eye. I want to basically show the world my life of course not to show off but for support and also to archive my life and progress.

So first thing on my list:

-Since I am a music JUNKIE , I want to show you all this amazing band I stumbled upon while listening to Pandora Radio. It is a folk type of genre, there name is The Civil Wars. Their name goes perfect with the southern theme style. They have amazing voices and inspiring lyrics. Seriously as I write this I am listening to them. I love them! They make music so artistic and beautiful without trying. Lovely duet.

BEST SONGS : Poison and Wine. And To Whom It May Concern ß The second one personally hits home.

Second:

Elf Show Color #49
I bought this nail polish and I am ADDICTED! :D It is such a cute color it is rich and vibrant. It has a glossy finish, which I love because you don’t need a top coat! Only downside it does fade quickly. :( Really can’t complain though because I bought it for a $1 at a local boutique!

Third and most important!!
I am successfully attempting to lose weight! :D Yes I know it has been a long time coming. I have been dieting for years, with some success (lost 30lbs last year) but now I am finally back on track and doing it right! I started counting calories, exercising at least 5 times a week :D So far so good. I am quite motivated to continue this journey so I’ll have a rocking bod for my 21st birthday trip to LAS VEGAS! :D

So if you guys have an recipe, exercising tips or anything you can share.. .LET ME KNOW! :D

Okey doke guys enough for tonight…Thanks for reading. I really missed you all. Best wishes!-Jay.

Adele - Rolling In The Deep

Hello lovely bloggers.
My apologies for my absence. I have been a whirlwind of emotions lately and haven't had much time for blogging. Just wanted to let you all in to my new favorite album. 21 by Adele. It is pure gold. I love every bit of it. It has so much soul, sentiments, and heart. I lvoe it. Her voice is so refreshingly beautiful. She doesn't have to try hard to bring out a nice melody. Unlike other artists, she stays humble through the fame. Check her out. You won't regret it. My faves from the 21 album (all of them are exceptional) but "Rolling in Deep" is good and also "Rumor Has It".

LOTD

Hello everyone! :] Just wanted to show you guys a few looks. :]

The first look was a turqouise/green type combo. I wanted to match the Aeropostale writting on my shirt! :P Came out very cute. I used The Kat Von D palette True Romance. For the darker corner I used Hard Luck and for the lighter part I used Peggy. Here is the look:

For the second look I was originally going to do a dark eye and nude lip. But somewhere along the way I went for the dark lip as well :] I think it came out pretty good. :] I used Just Bitten from Revlon called Passion and for eyeshadows I used the Warm Pallette from Costal Scents. :]

Last one I was going for a more neutral look. :] The inner corner is a light yellow tone and for the Orange tone I used the Costal Scents pallete 88. Excuse the eyebrows I hadn't waxed them there yet. :]

Alright so hopefully this post will make up for my absence! :] Keep posting comments and feedback I always get happy to see everyones reactions! :] Have a great day!

Much love

-Jay.

Decemember Haul! :D

Hello! :]

Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas weekend..I know I did. Got to spend time with my beautiful family :]]] On Christmas Eve we had a dinner with family and at 12am we opened our presents as usual! :] Then on Christmas Day we went to Hollywood,CA which was SUPER packed with tourists! It was crazy yet fun. Took tons of nice pictures which is always a plus! :D Alright now moving on to my haul! Some of the stuff I had bought prior to X-Mas others where presents from my family! :]

So as promised, here is the details to my haul! :]

Coach Shoes:

There are beyond gorgeous! Bought them at Nordstrom's last week. I wore them out when we went to Hollywood and they looked spectacular and they were also very comforable! :]

Blackberry Torch :

Amazing phone. It is a smart phone, it's super fast! I just love it. The white color looks soo elegant! It also comes with a 4gb memory card for all my pics,music, etc! :]

MAC Cosmetics: NW25 Pro Long wear concealer + Studio Fix Loose Powder NC25.

Concealer is flawless. There is not one bad thing to say about it. It stays on all day! It is at a afforadable price and it last a long time. The last one I had lasted me about 3 months.

Studio Fix powder is a must! Honestly every time I wear that finish I get compliments about how clean and smooth my skin looks. :]

Costal Scents 88 WARM Pallette:

My sister gave me the Warm pallete for X-Mas and let me tell you! I love it! :] Since winter is here I have been in this brown smokey eye look phase! This was just what I need to keep doing those looks! :] She's the best :]

Clinique Happy Perfume!

OMG , My sister is my hero! She had to go to like 3 different malls because she couldn't find it anywhere! :] But Alas she finally found it. I had been hinting to everyone I wanted this perfume the whole month till someone got the point! haha :] Love her!

Jewelery:

For Xmas my AWESOME sisters bought me some necklaces and a bracelet! :] I love chunky jewlery so when I saw the ANA necklace I was in LOVE! :] The charm necklace is really cute and makes an outfit from normal to cute in seconds! The bracelet is something I've never had , so I'm looking forward to matching it up with my wardrobe! :]

Thhhaaat's alll folks! :P Sorry it took so long to post, just was so busy for the holidays! :]
