From the Make-up Counter to your Make-up Table

Every time I go to a make-up counter I just get really inspired. I want my make-up table to be just like the one at Mac. One time I got so inspired I started creating something similar. I am a very savvy shopper so I will not spend more than I need too. I am always researching the best ideas for the lowest prices. I know “Quality is better then Quantity,” however on something that is meant for organization and not for my face or body then who cares. I rather spend one dollar instead of five. That way I have more to spend on other necessities.

My friends all know I am a frequent shopper at the Dollar Stores. I have my favorite ones that I always find the greatest bargains. Every time I need something my first stop is always the dollar stores then other places. I always have something in mind that I need to purchase and it’s really funny that I seem to always find it at the dollar store.  Maybe I just have good shopping karma I don’t know.

When I decided to vamp up my make-up table I didn’t do it all in one shopping trip. It took time to get it the way I wanted it. Something’s I picked up from Claire’s when they have clearance items. Some I got from Target. My Make-up however consists of mainly Mac because that is my favorite make-up brand. However I always try new things.  I will be doing many upcoming reviews on products.  So stay tuned!

Fashion Show in your Bedroom!

As I stated in my last blog you can make any day a special day by having a great outfit. Here are some looks you can try out! Rock it! Feel confident in whatever you desire to wear. Sometimes we all need help getting ready. What always helps me is music.

After I wake up and get settled, I start my day by listening to music. It helps me get ready, I feel like I’m in a fashion show without all the hustle & bustle. I go through my closet, try things on and pick my outfit for the day. I then go to my hair and makeup station and start beautifying myself! But without my music I sometimes struggle and feel uninspired. I feel so alive when I listen to my favorite tunes; it’s like the soundtrack of my life. It takes me away to another place.

Sometimes you can get your exercise in too because you get up and start dancing while your getting ready. It actually is very productive because you can do so many steps in one. I sometimes have a facemask on, and a toothbrush in one hand dancing around while going through my wardrobe. I mean if you can handle doing all of it at once.

If you like my blogs come follow me on this journey of fashion, beauty and much more! I will show you the tricks of the trade, as a designer. Let me show you the way! Have fun my fashionistas!!!!

The Simple Little Black Dress

Doesn’t really have to be a dress anymore!

It’s great when you’re going out to a special event, and you have a go-to dress that is forever flattering no matter what!

But sometimes you want to feel amazing even if it’s a Monday morning. Right?

It doesn’t matter what you do on a daily basis, we all just want to feel glamorous sometimes! Even if you’re just going to the supermarket, you can still spice up your look. At times we just feel so slump that we need a little pick me up. Your little black dress doesn’t have to be only for special events!

So instead of being forced to wear something lifeless on a Monday morning, why not have alternatives: “The Little Black Dress”. It doesn’t have to be an actual dress. “The Little Black Dress”, if you aren’t aware, was just a saying for something that is a go-to dress. However, my revisit to “The Little Black Dress” is a twist on the old classic.

For me, my wardrobe mainly consists of black. It’s my power color, I feel very confident when I wear black. However, whose to say you can’t feel confident in any color?! It all depends on my mood. That’s the most important thing you have to understand. I want all of you, ladies and gents out there, to dress how you feel.

Feeling unexciting about your looks can be reversed. If you tell yourself you feel boring, you’re going to feel boring. If you tell yourself you feel amazing, you’ll feel that way.

Personally, whatever mood I’m in I either rock the day or not. Ladies and Gents, you do hold all the cards in this game of dress-up. I don’t mean that you have to wear designer brands or spend massive amounts of money just to look good. Trust me, there are so many things you can do on a budget.

Dress how you feel, as they say, “dress for success.” We all have certain things in our closets that make us feel great about ourselves. I want all of you to go through your closets and see what those items are. It might be a pair of jeans, a t-shirt or a dress. Whatever it is, you have the power to rock it!

Come follow me on this journey of fashion, beauty and much more and I will show you the tricks of the trade that I follow being a designer. There are a lot of options out there for everyone! Let me show you the way!
