Mood Board Anyone?

hey ya'll today i spent most of my time today working on reseting my inspiration board. I think its very important to have a visual of the things that inspire you, its cool to have a daily reminder of the things that move you and what you are about. 

Today i updated mine with all the little things that inspire me everyday and I'm going to share a few of them with you. 

1. i found an amazing quote " good things take time" it helps me to be reminded that sometimes as much as we are down, it will get better. 

2. I believe in God so he is always part of my plan without him none of my dreams are possible. 

3. "dream big" its my favorite ! its okay to have big dreams the more surreal the better! it pushes me harder.

4. i have a mini picture of my dad and me when i was little...he's always in my heart.

4. Maker 2010 badge. I got it when i sold my handmade jewelry In NYC at the maker fair. It was a big deal ya'll! it reminds me big dreams and little dreams are possible if you work hard enough.

5. Aveda. The people at Aveda inspire me. I am new to the company and the culture and as a stylist its all i've been dreaming of they are amazing stylist and artists in general. They inspire me.

6. Hair and beauty . Its my true passion and it's what moves me. 

last but not least

7. "Fierce but Flexible" love that reminder of how tough and direct i can be but its good to be flexible and learn to work with others. 

This is my board and what inspires me. What inspires you?

Its a great way to start the week.

Fall Trends 2013 !

I am so in LOVE with the Fall trends

Because i live in Texas and the heat is exhausting i am ALWAYS waiting for Fall! 

Im so excited to use DARK lip stick and channel my inner goth that always comes in and out since i wear black mostly every day. 

Over my week vacation i have been watching a lot the fashion shows online obsessing over all that is to come this fall and winter.

My favorite one and one trend that i must confess i have been already using is the NAIL polish.

#1 Wine Color  or Plum nail polish. YUM!

since i wear a lot of black and i work with hair all day i sometimes like to wear darker shades of nail polish, so now i'm finally in with the trend. I bough an awesome wine color at  Forever 21 "night moves" it has great shine and it lasts. only $2.80 dlls. 

#2 Curly + Messy hair is very much in, so ladies get your hot rollers ready!

I  have naturally curly hair and like i said on my previous post i am trying to grow it out so i can rock one of this looks! Isnt it fun?! 

# 3 Messy buns with a lot of volume ! This is a very 60's vibe and i LOVE it. I am obsessed with the vintage styles and seeing them as a trend this season makes me VERY happy!

#4 Wine LIPS ... not the kind you get on sunday morning after a long girls night in but the ones that make your face look 10 x brighter and create awesome contrast on your look. 

Feeling goth yet? 

The rainy weather and cloudy days in mexico have had me feeling a little nostalgic but with a lot of peace. 

Hope everyone has a great week and if you have any other hair inspiration or makeup please do share below!

much love,

Weekend Trendz + Nude Makeup

This weekend i plan to relax and be a little effortless that is why this weekend trend is going to be very minimal and fresh! I love the effortless look on nude makeup. However if you are going to the all natural look don't forget to enhance it with some eyelashes. I can honestly say i'm addicted to lashes.. yes guilty!

When you don't want to do much in your makeup having some falsies can definitely open your eyes and make your best face feature (the window to your soul) POP. 

What are your makeup guilty pleasures?! do tell in the comment box below

Happy Weekend!!

Winner Lips!

Hands down the best lipstick i have tried this season! the Fabulous #966 called 'Don't blink pink'. I have been using it almost every day for the past week and i have received SO MANY compliments at the salon and at school! People ask me all the time " what brand is it?" expecting for me to say something extra fancy and all i simply say is ...you wont even believe! ..it's wet n wild!! Their jaws automatically drop and ask me for the number and name of the lipstick shade.
The colors are vibrant and the consistency of the product is super moist + it's long lasting. I only have had to touch up my lipstick about twice in the entire day (including meals)
I am hardly a Lipstick person and i bought a handful of this new collection at my local grocery store and i've been having way too much fun with them!

Beauty is not about the price but on what works for you, nowadays we all want to get better deals on quality items and im so very glad i found this alternative for everyday affordable make up to be able to share it with you!
i recommend it and its crowd approved!
