2010....

As Aaliyah's song goes, 'If at first you don't succeed, Dust yourself off, and try again..." It's a simple saying....But Ive been finding the 'Try again part', slightly hard. It's true when you are set in your ways, its difficult to change your lifetstyle even when its for the best. I attempted to write a new entry for awhile now. Seriously, i have 6 drafted blogs that have been saved, but never finished... Just because after i wrote them i got distracted.

2009 has been a very emotionally trying year...

My mom's struggle has taught me a lot of things... Importance of family, Being Humble, The power of prayer, Forgiveness, Honesty, Trust, Strength, and Love... I dont wanna preach because I have only begun to experience these things in greater way. Plus I know ive already touched this subject on a prior post. I miss her everyday.. she is a great mother, and wonderful person.

i am getting older... Hopefully wiser. and with every obstacle Im really glad to have great people behind me, who really love me for who i am.

All my life Ive always looked to making other people happy. now its my turn.

I want to face my challenges, and stop running from them.

I want to be able to trust people without doubting them.

And most of all, I want be proud of who i am. And happy with the decisions I make in life.

------------------------- so getting back on track with the main purpose of this blog.. THE BEAUTY STUFF!! lol.

You can call me whatever you want.. For me, makeup and stuff in that realm are like yoga for my face.

Im more drawn to neutral looks, I find that I just dont have the confidence to pull off a crazy colored look.. but its ok, one of these days... :)

So for futher notice:

since i turned 25 (last year) I did some research and by trial and error, i took on a actual skin regime.. and so far everything has been WONDERFUL. lol... However, Im still trying to find a good moisterizing face wash that cleans everything off, without having to go to higher priced brands... No luck yet. I usually use Aveeno, but it doesnt clean everything off... :I but i use eye makeup remover so that helps.. but i want something to remove my foundation.. ( Ive tried babywipes, but my skin turns really red afterwards, so im scared to use it even if some are hypoallergenic... any suggestions?
