Makeup Obsessions

I could spend hours in Sephora, Ulta, and any other makeup store. I just love makeup. But I'm not the type of girl who spends hours putting it on or caking it on. I love makeup in a healthy way.

I love the natural look, but I also love some sparkle, a smokey eye, and a red lip.

So here are a couple of my favorites:

Eyeliner: 

I have become obsessed with gel eyeliner. It looks better, stays on forever and doesn't smudge! I currently use Maybelline's EyeStudio Lasting Drama In Black and Brown.

Eyeshadow:

I love my Urban Decay Naked Palette. The colors and quality of the makeup in this palette are definitely worth the money, it is by far my favorite makeup purchase...ever!

Mascara: 

After trying Maybelline's Full N' Soft Mascara I probably will never try another mascara again. This mascara makes my eyelashes perfect everytime...not kidding!

Lips: 

My friend Caitlin got me into the brand Fresh and their Sugar Lip Treatment. A lip treatment, SPF and color in one...umm yes please! This lip treatment is perfect for the office, going out, the beach and... basically it's perfect. My favorite right now is Passion!

I hate going anywhere without makeup (except the gym because tough girls don't wear makeup to the gym!) and I don't know what I'd do without these products.

Have you tried any of these products?

Resolutions

Are you still keeping your New Year Resolutions? 

I am definitely over all of these people that decided to wait until January to take over my early morning gym sessions and crowd Whole Foods because they just now decided to eat healthy and organic...grr. 

I have never made a big New Year Resolution before, but this year I decided to actually make two and keep them simple:

Be Happy.

Enjoy South Florida. (because people travel around the world to visit it) 

Simple right? But then I decided that instead of hardcore year long resolutions that I'll never keep, how about I make a simple month long or week long resolution...

January Resolution:  Floss my teeth everyday, no matter what! 

This Week's Resolution: Work out hard every single day! 

I know I can't do diets, take on a new hobby, or save the world in a year....so making shorter resolutions that I can actually stick with works better for me.

And yes I will be creating a February Resolution and Weekly Resolutions that I will share :)

Sinful Sunday

What is better than spending your Sunday afternoon laying by the pool? 

I woke up to a gorgeous sunny morning and couldn't resist putting on my bikini and heading to the pool. I mean it is January after all and it's 80 degrees in South Florida...can ya blame me? 

Other than laying by the pool, I was actually productive and went for a run, grocery shopped, and cleaned my apartment. Then napped...but hey that's what lazy Sundays are all about!

A New Year

I'm Back...

After my trip to Peru, life got really busy and well I just stopped blogging, but I still kept up with everyone's posts :)

Cheers to a New Year 

&

a new job

a new Florida license

a new Florida license plate

a fresh new haircut and hair products to use

keeping old relationships while creating new ones

a new exercise routine

a plan to stop eating so many sweets...(but who am I kidding?)

&

to love, relationships, success, and health.

Adios Estados Unidos. Hola Peru!

Adios Estados Unidos

I am off to Peru for the next two weeks and I'm very excited :)

After repacking about 3 times, I finally decided on my wardrobe... considering 63 degrees is freezing to me! It's Spring in Peru, but the weather will range from 55-75...depending on which cities I will be in...so it is kinda hard to pack for that weather. 

I have been running around like a crazy person getting ready for the trip...and Guillermo (Mr. Procrastinator) has been a crazy person today...all while I'm sitting by the door with my suitcase :)

Will try to post pictures, blog, and tweet while I'm in Peru...but we will see how that goes. 

Well I am off to dance my booty off, eat amazing food, drink Pisco, create memories, emerse myself in Peruvian culture and have the experience of a lifetime :)

That Time of the Year

It's that time of the year...

Where people wonder where the past 2 months have gone while they prepare for the holiday season

Halloween costumes are planned out...or not

There is an excuse to eat plenty of sweets...from Halloween up until New Year's Day

People are making plans on where they are spending the holiday season

Pumpkin, Peppermint, and Gingerbread are all the rage

Sweaters, Scarfs, and Boots are everyone's fashion statement

Where giving is more important than receiving

You are already searching on Pinterest for holiday treats

You can have 4 generations of women under one roof

The holiday season brings back memories and makes you realize how many years have actually passed

You can always go back home and pretend you never left

It's that time of the year where the holiday season is on everyone's mind

Too Early?

Foodies

Ahh the weekend...is there is anything better? 

This past weekend, my newly married friends sailed back into Miami from their honeymoon cruise and spent the weekend with Guillermo and I.

      Pisco Sours                                                                                                                     Ceviche Sampler & Causa 

We took Lauren and Nathan to one of my favorite Peruvian Restaurants in downtown Miami called Ceviche 105. 

Peruvian food is delicious  if you haven't had it then you are missing out!

Saturday night we decided to  cook instead of going out. While we were cooking we snacked on a sourdough baguette,  rosemary & olive oil cheddar cheese, honey goat cheese and grapes.

Our dinner was pork loin stuffed with basil & sun dried tomato pesto, potato cakes, and a fresh garden salad (picture didn't turn out).  Sorry to disappoint, but most of the cooking was done by Lauren and Nathan, but I did make the potato cakes!

Can't you tell Lauren and Nathan are foodies? This is why our entire weekend consisted of eating :)
